Pipeline without the overhead.
The same booked meetings you'd get from an in-house SDR team or a retainer agency, on a revenue-share model that only wins when you do.
| ReplyLead | In-house team | Retainer agency | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pricing | Revenue share,pay from what closes | Salaries + tools, fixed monthly | Fat retainer, pay regardless |
| Time to results | Days to launch | Months to hire & ramp | Weeks of onboarding |
| Who does the work | Fully done-for-you | You hire, train & manage | Varies, often junior |
| Deliverability infra | Included,warmed, multi-inbox | You buy & maintain it | Sometimes shared/thin |
| Copywriting | Human + AI, split-tested | Depends on your hire | Templated, rarely tested |
| Risk | Aligned,we win when you win | High fixed cost up front | Paid whether it works or not |
| Data ownership | You own everything | You own it | Often locked to the agency |
How revenue share stacks against every other lead generation revenue model - retainer, pay per lead, pay per appointment, performance-based - is worked through, numbers in, on the revenue model comparison.
Who we're for, and not for.
A good fit if you
- Are B2B SaaS, an agency, or professional services
- Can close the meetings we book
- Have a deal size that makes a meeting worth it
- Want pipeline without building an SDR team
Not a fit if you
- Have no way to close booked meetings
- Sell very low-ticket or pure B2C
- Want guaranteed numbers up front
- Need results this week with no ramp
We would rather tell you it is not a fit than take work that will not perform. Results depend on your offer, ICP, and market, so we do not promise fixed numbers, we optimize for the metrics that predict revenue and report on them openly.
We only get paid when you do.
A revenue-share model means we carry the risk with you. No fat retainer, no long ramp, no headcount to manage, just qualified meetings on your calendar and a partner whose upside is tied to yours.
The honest comparison.
Is ReplyLead cheaper than in-house?
You skip the fixed cost of hiring SDRs, tooling, domains, and months of ramp. You pay a share of the revenue we help you close, so cost scales with results instead of overhead.
Why not a retainer agency?
Most agencies bill a fixed retainer whether they perform or not. Our pay is tied to the revenue we help you close, so our incentives match yours.
How fast versus building in-house?
In-house typically takes months to ramp. We launch within about a week, with first positive replies often within days.
