Updated October 11, 2026. Vendor facts read October 11, 2026.
Of ten GTM engineering agencies whose sites we read on October 11, 2026, two put B2B SaaS in a page title (Understory and The GTM Engineering Company) and three more name SaaS among the industries they serve (SalesCaptain, DevCommX and demandDrive). Sales.co's GTM engineering page names no industry. Its published reply data covers 63,544 people at software and SaaS companies, of whom 198 (0.31%) replied positively to a cold email.
Sales.co publishes this page, so read it with that in mind. The ten are the agencies named most often in the list pages that rank on Google for GTM engineering agency queries (how they were chosen). The table quotes what each agency's own site says about SaaS; agencies that put it in a page title come first.

Reply data if your buyers are software companies
Many SaaS companies sell to other software companies. We published what happens when those people get a cold email: between March 6 and August 31, 2026, 63,544 people at software and SaaS companies got a first email from one of 20 B2B campaigns on the Sales.co platform. 545 replied in person and 198 replied positively, which is 0.31% of contacts.
| Company size of the recipient | Contacts | Positive replies | Positive rate | 95% interval |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 to 10 employees | 22,753 | 96 | 0.42% | 0.35% to 0.51% |
| 11 to 50 employees | 22,328 | 50 | 0.22% | 0.17% to 0.30% |
| 51 to 200 employees | 10,210 | 27 | 0.26% | 0.18% to 0.38% |
| 201 to 500 employees | 3,663 | 4 | 0.11% | 0.04% to 0.28% |
| 501 to 1,000 employees | 1,613 | 3 | 0.19% | 0.06% to 0.55% |
| 1,001 to 5,000 employees | 1,478 | 1 | 0.07% | 0.01% to 0.38% |
| 5,001 employees and up | 450 | 0 | 0.00% | 0.00% to 0.85% |
| No size on file | 1,049 | 17 | 1.62% | 1.01% to 2.58% |
| All sizes | 63,544 | 198 | 0.31% | 0.27% to 0.36% |
Among the size bands, the smallest companies answered most often: 0.42% at 1 to 10 employees against 0.11% at 201 to 500. Above 500 employees the rows have 3, 1 and 0 positive replies, too few to compare. By department, executives were 42,960 of the contacts and replied positively at 0.32%; marketing was 0.36% (37 of 10,140) and sales 0.25% (12 of 4,886).
The data has three limits. One campaign supplied 72% of the contacts, and the rate differs a lot between campaigns: that one got 0.21% and the other 17 together got 0.57%. The campaigns sold different products, so this is how software people answer B2B cold email in general. And it is email only; these are not results of the four-channel package. The intervals are Wilson 95% intervals we computed from the published counts.
For SaaS companies that sell to large enterprises in any industry, the same research counts 48,045 contacts at companies above 500 employees and 38 positive replies (0.08%). The IT department was 1,057 of those contacts with 1 positive reply. Details: cold email for software companies.

FAQ
Which GTM engineering agencies specialise in B2B SaaS?
Understory and The GTM Engineering Company put B2B SaaS in a page title. SalesCaptain, DevCommX and demandDrive name SaaS among the industries they serve. The other five of the ten we read on October 11, 2026 do not name SaaS as a focus. Sales.co publishes this page, so read it with that in mind.
Does Sales.co work with SaaS companies?
Sales.co's GTM engineering page names no industry. Its published research counts 63,544 people at software and SaaS companies who got a first cold email from 20 campaigns on its platform between March and August 2026; 198 of them (0.31%) replied positively.
What positive reply rate does cold email get at SaaS companies?
In Sales.co's published data, 0.31% of 63,544 contacts at software and SaaS companies replied positively. At companies with 1 to 10 employees it was 0.42% (96 of 22,753). One campaign supplied 72% of those contacts, so read the figures as a range, not a forecast.
