What Cleverly says on its own site
Cleverly's page offers two plans: Growth, a flat monthly retainer, and Scale, pay per lead, and says it is month-to-month with no contracts. Its case studies describe the sending setup as 2 USA IPs and 100 Outlook accounts and report results such as 330 meetings booked in 12 months for one client. Those are the agency's own figures, not ours.
When Cleverly is still the better pick
Cleverly offers a pay-per-lead plan (Scale) next to the flat retainer, and its site states 30 qualified meetings a month as the aim. If you want to pay only for leads, stay.
