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 |
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.
