Cold email agency alternatives
Updated October 8, 2026.
If you are comparing agencies, start from the one you are considering. Each page lists ten other agencies with the price, contract and channel facts each one states on its own site, and says when the agency you started from is still the better pick. Of the 10 agencies in our tables, 5 publish a starting price and 8 state a contract term. Sales.co is our own service, so read this page with that in mind.
- Belkins alternatives: Monthly retainer packages sized by appointments a year; its services page gives a starter price from $5,000 with 1,500 leads a month and 100+ guaranteed appointments a year, and every proposal is custom.
- Cleverly alternatives: Month-to-month cold email with a flat retainer (Growth) or pay per lead (Scale); prices only on a call.
- SalesHive alternatives: SDR teams that call, or call and email; no setup fee and month-to-month, but every plan is quoted on a call.
- OutreachBloom alternatives: Cold email from $2,400 a month for 10,000 to 100,000 contacts emailed a month, next to separately priced AI SEO, Reddit and LinkedIn programs; no contract terms on the pricing page.
- SalesBread alternatives: LinkedIn-first outreach with email that states 1 qualified lead a day (20+ a month) or your money back; month-to-month, no published price, a 3 to 5 week wait list.
- CIENCE alternatives: A $5,000 setup sprint, then $2,000 a month for the team and $499 a month for the graph8 platform; SDR capacity and per-meeting fees are quoted on top.
- Martal Group alternatives: Three service tiers that open with a 3 or 4-month pilot and then bill monthly; no tier shows a price, and Tiers 2 and 3 add a sales commission to the flat fee.
Reading across these seven: 3 publish a starting price (Belkins, OutreachBloom and CIENCE) and 5 state a contract term (Cleverly, SalesHive, SalesBread, CIENCE and Martal Group). Sales.co is the only agency in our tables that states a price, no setup fee and a month-to-month term together; the scoring is on one page.
