Quick answer
SalesRoads' closest competitors on phone and email outsourced SDR work are CIENCE, Callbox, Belkins, Martal Group and SalesHive, plus Cleverly if LinkedIn needs to be in the mix. CIENCE, Cleverly and Callbox publish real prices the way SalesRoads does; Belkins, Martal Group and SalesHive quote only after a call, checked 31 October 2026.
Comparing outsourced SDR agencies is a regular part of the GTM consulting work I do for B2B founders, and SalesRoads stands out in that shortlist for doing something few outsourced SDR shops do: it puts a real number on its own pricing page before anyone picks up the phone. Here is how it actually compares with the agencies people put next to it.
What SalesRoads actually sells
SalesRoads, based in Boca Raton, Florida, runs outbound prospecting through multi-touch calling into decision makers
paired with personalized email prospecting
, per its own site (checked 31 October 2026). Reps carry 5 to 10 years industry experience
and go through what the site calls 3x industry standard training
before touching an account, and the company describes itself as having served B2B companies for 20+ years
. LinkedIn appears only as a company page link in the footer, not as a channel the methodology names anywhere I could find. Pricing runs per 4-week period rather than per seat on its own pricing page (checked 31 October 2026): $11,950 for one SDR, $16,750 for two, $23,500 for three, $30,150 for four, $36,700 for five and $43,150 for six, with the cost per rep falling from $11,950 down to $7,192 as the team scales. The same page states no long-term commitment. Cancel anytime
, while recommending a full 12-week program before judging results. One detail worth flagging since it differs from how SalesRoads is usually described: the pricing page now lets a buyer pick a calling target of United States only, Canada only, US and Canada combined, or an international region covering Europe, LATAM or APAC, a wider claim than the US-only positioning the rest of the site still carries.
Disclosure. I run cold email and LinkedIn outbound for B2B companies, and in 2026 I started my own agency, Shipyard GTM. That makes me a competitor to every agency in this article. Shipyard is on the list because it is a real option for some readers, but it is mine, so it never goes first and gets the same "watch for" as everyone else. I have no commercial deal with any of the other agencies, and prices and terms change, so check each one's own site before you sign.
Why people look for a SalesRoads competitor
A few reasons come up repeatedly once someone has actually read SalesRoads' own site closely:
- No LinkedIn. The methodology is calling and email. A buyer who wants LinkedIn as part of the sequence needs a different vendor or a second one.
- US-weighted delivery. Reps and the core pitch are built around the US market, even though the pricing page now lists international calling as a selectable option.
- Per-rep pricing, not a flat team fee. The cost per SDR keeps falling as headcount grows, which rewards a buyer who commits to several reps over one who wants to start small.
- Phone-first. A buyer in a category where cold calls do not reach the decision maker, software sold to developers, for instance, needs an agency built around a different channel mix.
The 7 competitors at a glance
| Agency | Based in | How they charge | Price on their site | Channels |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SalesRoads (baseline) | Boca Raton, US | Per 4-week period, cancel anytime | Yes, from $11,950 per 4 weeks | Cold calling, cold email |
| CIENCE | Miami, US | Monthly team and platform, SDRs extra, setup quoted | Yes, except setup | Email, phone, LinkedIn, ads, direct mail |
| Cleverly | Los Angeles, US | Subscription, LinkedIn led | Yes, from $397/month | LinkedIn, email, phone |
| Callbox | Encino, US | Per campaign pod | Yes, an estimate | Phone, email, LinkedIn, retargeting |
| Belkins | US and Ukraine | Custom monthly retainer | No | Email, LinkedIn, calling, WhatsApp |
| Martal Group | Oakville, Canada | 3 or 4 month pilot, then monthly | No | Email, LinkedIn, phone |
| SalesHive | Denver, US | Flat monthly fee, no setup fee | No | Cold calling, cold email |
| Shipyard GTM (my agency) | Riga, Latvia | Fixed monthly price, month to month | No | Email, LinkedIn |
Which ones publish a real price, like SalesRoads does?
Three of the seven. CIENCE lists $2,000 a month for its campaign team and $499 a month for its graph8 platform with 75,000 credits included, then SDRs from $1,750 a month offshore to $3,500 a month in the US or Europe, on its own pricing page (checked 31 October 2026); only the setup fee is left unquoted. For the fuller picture on how CIENCE itself stacks up against other outsourced SDR vendors, see CIENCE competitors, ranked on price and delivery. Cleverly advertises LinkedIn plans starting at $397 a month on its own LinkedIn page (checked 31 October 2026). Callbox estimates $6,667 a month for one campaign pod on its own pricing page (checked 31 October 2026), with the exact figure still coming after a consultation. Belkins, Martal Group, SalesHive and Shipyard GTM, like SalesRoads' own direct rivals in the unpublished-price camp, quote only after a call.
Does any of them run LinkedIn, since SalesRoads doesn't?
Most of them. CIENCE, Cleverly, Callbox, Belkins, Martal Group and Shipyard GTM all name LinkedIn as part of their channel mix, by their own account. SalesHive is the one agency here that matches SalesRoads' own profile most closely: cold calling and cold email, no LinkedIn, a US-based in-house team running on its own software stack rather than a bundled multichannel pitch. If the reason to leave SalesRoads is specifically to add LinkedIn, SalesHive will not solve that; every other name on this list will. When I run outbound for a client, email and LinkedIn work as one sequence rather than two separate budgets, and the first email usually lands at 30 to 40 words with one concrete problem and one concrete offer, which is a different starting point from a programme built around the phone first.
Which ones work outside the US?
This is where SalesRoads' own site sends a mixed signal. The core brand positioning and the case studies on it are US focused, yet the pricing page itself now lets a buyer choose Europe, LATAM or APAC as a calling target alongside the US and Canada defaults. Among the alternatives, Callbox is the most explicitly international, citing delivery out of 60-plus countries with offices across the US, UK, Australia, Colombia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong on its own site. Martal Group states onshore reps split across the US, Canada, the EU and LATAM. CIENCE prices its US and European SDRs together in the same tier. Belkins runs delivery out of the US and Ukraine. Cleverly and SalesHive stay US-focused on their own sites, same as SalesRoads' core positioning. Shipyard GTM is based in Riga and works across Europe, the Nordics and the US. If the target market sits specifically in continental Europe or the Nordics, an agency built around that region from the start is usually a cleaner starting point than one that added an international option to a pricing page.
Each competitor in short
CIENCE
Miami based, now part of the graph8 group after it acquired CIENCE's assets. Good for: modelling most of the real cost yourself, since it publishes everything except the setup fee, down to the SDR bonus formula. Watch for: much of its public review history predates the acquisition. Full CIENCE review.
Cleverly
Los Angeles, LinkedIn led with email and calling as extra channels. Good for: starting LinkedIn outreach fast with a published price and a dedicated account manager. Watch for: at this price it is outreach, not full strategy, so ask who handles replies and qualification. Full Cleverly review.
Callbox
Encino, California, with most delivery out of the Philippines. Prices per campaign pod, each with its own SDR, data and campaign manager. Good for: entering several regions and languages from one vendor. Watch for: the quoted figure is an estimate, not a fixed number, so confirm the final price before you budget against it. Full Callbox review.
Belkins
US and Ukraine. A managed, multi-channel programme, research, email, LinkedIn and calling, around a dedicated team per client. Good for: a large public review trail if you want to read client feedback before you sign. Watch for: no published price and no stated non-US market focus. Full Belkins review.
Martal Group
Oakville, Canada, onshore reps split across the US, Canada, the EU and LATAM, by its own account. Good for: a closer already working in the target market, not just a meeting booker. Watch for: a paid pilot before the monthly plan and no published price, so there is no cheap way to test it. Full Martal Group review.
SalesHive
Denver, a dedicated in-house team running on its own proprietary platform (list building, dialer, inbox, CRM sync), by its own account. Good for: seeing the same activity data the reps see, rather than a monthly summary. Watch for: no published price and, like SalesRoads, no LinkedIn. Full SalesHive review.
Shipyard GTM (my agency)
Vilnius. Done-for-you outbound on email and LinkedIn, run as one sequence rather than two separate budgets, for B2B companies with product-market fit. It maps the target market first, then builds the data, signals and sending inside your own tools. Fixed monthly price after a first call, month to month, and you keep the domains, inboxes, data and copy if you leave. Good for: teams that want email and LinkedIn working off the same list and the same reply inbox. Watch for: launched in October 2026, so no public reviews or published case studies yet, and no price on the site. shipyardgtm.com.
What the per-SDR discount actually buys, with the maths shown
SalesRoads' own pricing page is one of the few on this list detailed enough to model directly, so here is what the per-rep discount actually works out to. Assume roughly 13 four-week billing periods a year, so a 4-week figure divided by 12 gives a rough monthly equivalent (a labelled assumption, not a published monthly rate), and assume 8 to 12 qualified meetings per SDR per month, a common lower-mid target range, not a researched fact: swap in your own number. At one SDR, $11,950 per 4 weeks works out to roughly $12,946 a month, or about $1,079 to $1,618 per meeting at 8 to 12 meetings. At six SDRs, $43,150 per 4 weeks works out to roughly $46,746 a month total, or about $7,791 per rep, which lands at $649 to $974 per meeting per rep, a drop of almost 40 percent per meeting, matching the roughly 40 percent per-rep price reduction SalesRoads advertises at that tier. For context on the lower end of this market, I ran the same style of cost math for CIENCE's cheapest available combination in my memoryBlue alternatives comparison, which lands around $310 to $470 per meeting before setup, well below SalesRoads' single-SDR tier.
Tip. Ask any agency on this list, SalesRoads included, to quote against your own definition of a qualified meeting rather than theirs. A loose definition is the easiest way for a per-meeting number to look better on paper than it performs in the pipeline.
Questions to ask before you sign
What is the notice period and minimum billing cycle behind "cancel anytime", in writing? Which calling target are you actually buying, US only or one of the international options, and does the per-rep price change by region? Who writes the email copy, and who owns the domains and mailboxes if cold email is part of the scope (here is why that answer matters more than it sounds)? What exactly counts as a qualified meeting, and who decides if one does not show? And if LinkedIn is not in scope today, is it an add-on later, or a reason to run a second vendor alongside this one?
When SalesRoads is still the right call
If the target market is squarely the US, the product sells into a category where a phone call still gets picked up, and the buying priority is experienced, US-based reps over a published channel mix, SalesRoads' own training pipeline and tiered per-rep pricing solve a real problem the way it is built to. The trade-off is the same one that sends people looking for alternatives in the first place: LinkedIn sits outside the methodology, and the international calling option is new enough on the site that it has not built the same track record as the core US offer. For the build-versus-buy question behind this whole shortlist, see outbound agency vs in-house team, year one costs. Full SalesRoads review.
Key takeaways
- SalesRoads prices per 4-week period, not per seat: $11,950 for one SDR, falling to $7,192 per rep at six SDRs, with a stated cancel anytime policy.
- CIENCE, Cleverly and Callbox publish real prices. Belkins, Martal Group, SalesHive and Shipyard GTM quote only after a call, same as SalesRoads' competitors in that camp.
- SalesHive is the closest match to SalesRoads' own channel profile: calling and email, no LinkedIn. Every other name on this list runs LinkedIn.
- SalesRoads' pricing page now lists international calling targets (Europe, LATAM, APAC) alongside the US and Canada defaults, a change from its US-only core positioning.
- Scaling from one SDR to six cuts SalesRoads' own cost per meeting by close to 40 percent, by the maths above, built from its own published tiers.
FAQ
Who are SalesRoads' main competitors?
CIENCE, Callbox, Belkins, Martal Group and SalesHive for phone and email outsourced SDR work, plus Cleverly if LinkedIn needs to be part of the mix.
Does SalesRoads publish its pricing?
Yes. Per 4-week period rather than per seat: $11,950 for one SDR down to $7,192 per rep at six SDRs, on its own pricing page checked 31 October 2026, with a stated cancel anytime policy.
Which SalesRoads competitor also publishes a real price?
CIENCE, Cleverly and Callbox all list real figures on their own sites. CIENCE is the most itemised, down to the SDR bonus formula.
Does SalesRoads run LinkedIn?
Not as a named channel in its methodology. LinkedIn appears only as a company page link in the footer. SalesHive is the only competitor on this list with the same no-LinkedIn profile; every other one names LinkedIn.
Is SalesRoads a good fit for teams outside the US?
Its core positioning and case studies are US focused, though its pricing page now lists Europe, LATAM and APAC as selectable calling targets. For a target market specifically in continental Europe or the Nordics, an agency built around that region from the start is usually a cleaner starting point.
