Outsourced SDR companies in 2026: models, terms and prices compared

Most buyers start with three questions: how the firm charges, where its reps work, and how long the commitment runs. The table leads with those. “Not stated” means the firm’s pages did not say, not that the answer is no.

Ownership, approvals and the meaning of a “meeting” vary even more than price, and most firms say little about them on their pages. The second table shows what each one does say.

We picked eight firms that sell outsourced SDR or appointment-setting work to US companies and that, between them, cover the main models: retainers, a fee per SDR with a meeting bonus, performance-based pay, pilots, month-to-month terms, US-based and offshore reps, and full-service programs alongside lead-only services. Every fact comes from the firm’s own pricing, service and FAQ pages, read on October 18, 2026.

We did not hire any of these firms, we did not use their case-study results, which we could not check, and we left out review-site ratings, which change daily. The order is not a ranking. It runs from firms that publish the most about price to those that publish the least, then SalesOne.

Published ranges vary widely, and most come from firms that sell the service, so read them as market signals. The ranges below were opened at source and are explained in full in our guide to outsourced SDR cost.

On their own pages (as of October 2026), SalesBread starts lowest at $2,000 to $3,000 a month, Abstrakt at about $5,000 a month and Belkins at an average starter price from $5,000 (period not stated), and Callbox estimates $16,000 to $32,000 a month for one campaign pod. CIENCE prices by the part: five offshore SDRs with its team and platform come to $11,249 a month, plus bonus and a one-time setup fee. None of the eight publishes a price per meeting. Ask every firm for the full first-year cost in writing, including setup, data, tools and any meeting fees.

Price and meeting counts are easy to compare and tell you the least. These six questions decide whether a program works and what you keep when it ends. Get the answers in writing before you sign.

1. Who owns the data and the sending domains? Ask who registers the domains and mailboxes, whether they are your domain or lookalikes, and whether the lists, call recordings, notes and opt-out records transfer to you at the end. For how domains and warm-up affect delivery, see cold email.
2. Who approves the messages? Some firms have you approve the playbook once before launch; few describe approval of each message. Decide whether you need to see every email before it goes out under your name.
3. How are accounts chosen and researched? Ask whether the firm builds the list from a database filter or researches each company against your profile, what it checks before a rep reaches out, and whether you can see why an account was picked.
4. What counts as a meeting? Booked, held and qualified are different numbers. Write down the target profile, the role, the problem confirmed and attendance, and how no-shows are counted, especially if any pay is tied to meetings.
5. What are the term and the exit? Note the pilot or minimum term, the notice period, when billing ends, and what happens to your accounts and history on the last day.
6. Who is responsible for call and email rules? Calls and email are regulated in the US. Agree who owns the scripts, the lists, Do Not Call checks, calling windows and opt-out records, and check with your own counsel.

For the models behind these questions, see what SDR as a service means.

Best for: teams that want to pick the SDR region and see each part of the price.

CIENCE charges a monthly fee for its campaign team ($2,000) and its graph8 platform ($499, with 75,000 credits), then a monthly fee per SDR, starting at $1,750 offshore, $2,500 in Europe and $3,500 in the US (as of October 2026). Each SDR has a monthly target for held meetings: below 60% of target there is no bonus, and above it a bonus is paid on top of the fee by a published formula. A one-time setup fee, amount not stated, covers the target list, four campaigns and email, phone and social infrastructure, and CIENCE says campaigns go live in less than 14 days. Terms are month to month, and SDRs can be added or removed monthly. Its pages say the platform holds your data, emails and calls, but not who owns them at the end.

Best for: founders who want interested replies from social messages and email at a modest monthly fee.

SalesBread is a lead generation agency rather than a full SDR team. Its researchers write personalized social messages and emails, sent from your own social account, and it says it does not use AI for personalization. A lead, in its FAQ, is someone at the right company, with the right title and seniority, who replies with interest; appointment setting is offered on request. Its service page puts the monthly investment at $2,000 to $3,000, the service is month to month, and its homepage advertises 20+ sales-qualified leads a month or your money back; read the terms on its page. It notes a three- to five-week wait list. Its listed channels are social messages and email.

Best for: US trade and service businesses that want appointments set in an exclusive territory.

Abstrakt describes itself as a B2B lead generation company for trade and service businesses across the US, with a US-based team of 500+ specialists. Its outreach combines calls, email, social messages and direct mail, and each appointment is checked for the right company, a decision-maker or key influencer, and confirmed interest before you receive it. Every partnership includes exclusive territory targeting, a dedicated team and a results portal. Its FAQ says outbound programs start around $5,000 to $7,000 a month (as of October 2026). The term and data ownership are not stated.

Best for: mid-market teams that want a multichannel program, events included, run on the agency’s infrastructure.

Belkins sells monthly retainer packages, from a small-business plan run through partner agencies (30+ appointments a year) to Growth (100+) and Growth Plus (200+), plus a custom Enterprise plan. Its outsourced SDR page lists an average starter price from $5,000 (as of October 2026) and quotes from company size, market, goals and channels. Reps are North America-based, or in Europe at a lower cost. Belkins sets up outreach infrastructure that mirrors your company, including lookalike email domains, and its SDRs introduce themselves as part of your team. It says first meetings are typically booked within 30 to 45 days. Term and ownership of those domains are not stated, so ask.

Best for: larger teams that want one vendor to run data, content and outreach across many channels and countries.

Callbox prices by campaign pod, a dedicated outreach unit for one market segment or persona. Each pod includes one dedicated SDR, a campaign manager, enriched data, a multichannel cadence and weekly reporting, and its estimator shows $16,000 to $32,000 a month for one pod (as of October 2026), with exact pricing after a consultation. Channels include calls, email, social, web retargeting, chat and events, and its own CRM is included. It lists offices in the USA, UK, Australia, Colombia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong; where reps sit, the contract length and data ownership are not stated.

Best for: teams that want US-based calling, a flat fee and a short exit.

SalesHive charges one flat monthly fee for a strategist, SDRs, its platform and data, custom quoted by team location, channels and daily volume, with no setup fees. Its core team is 100% US-based, with offshore calling as a cheaper option. Starter is calls only with one SDR at 100+ touches a day; Growth adds email at 250+; Crush has two SDRs at 500+. You approve the playbook and messaging before the first invoice. It runs month to month: after written notice, outreach and billing end at the end of the next billing month. It does not price per meeting and does not guarantee a number of meetings (as of October 2026).

Best for: tech and services companies with longer sales cycles that want phone-heavy outbound and a path to hire the rep.

memoryBlue offers two models: a performance-based engagement with a lower base and pay tied to meetings delivered, or a retainer with all-inclusive monthly pricing. It publishes no rate. Reps work in its offices in Washington D.C., Boston, Austin, Dallas, Denver, London and Singapore, each dedicated to one client, and calls lead the cadence: about 100+ calls, 50+ emails and 30+ social touches a day per rep. Onboarding takes about two weeks and is not billed. Its FAQ says data ownership depends on the engagement’s data processing agreement and who built the lists. You can move a rep onto your own payroll at any point. The minimum term is not stated.

Best for: teams that want a fixed trial period, and possibly help with discovery calls and closing.

Martal Group sells three tiers. Outbound lead generation is a flat monthly fee, starting with a three-month pilot and then a monthly subscription. Its two higher tiers are a flat fee plus sales commission, after a four-month pilot. Its pricing page describes an onshore team, with appointment booking and discovery calls led by a North American team, and outreach by email, social and calls at 5 to 7 touches per prospect. Prices are on request, and data ownership is not stated (as of October 2026).

Best for: US teams that want every account researched and qualified before anyone reaches out, and want to keep the pipeline in their own system.

SalesOne is software first, not an agency. S1 deep research agents research each company against your ideal customer profile, keep the evidence for every account they accept and the rule each rejected company failed, and map the people to contact. For each account delivered, S1 runs about 30 searches and turns down about three other companies.

• The SDR seat: an optional SalesOne SDR is an outsourced SDR who works inside your SalesOne workspace, on accounts S1 agents have researched and qualified. The SDR takes calls, follow-ups and list checks, alone or alongside your own SDRs.
• Approvals: a person approves every message, and every approval is recorded with who gave it. With an SDR seat, the SDR’s sequence emails wait for approval. See how outreach works.
• Ownership: accounts, calls, emails and notes stay in your workspace, and sent email is copied to your CRM by BCC. When the seat ends, the records stay with you.
• Outreach checks: Do Not Call list checks and calling windows run before every call. See outreach controls and approvals.
• What counts as a meeting: agreed with your team before the first call. SalesOne does not promise a number of meetings.
• Price: plans and the seat are quoted on a call; no prices are published. See pricing.

Choose an agency over SalesOne if any of these matter more to you than research depth and keeping the work in your own system:

• You want outbound fully done for you, at volume, without approving each message. SalesHive, Callbox and Belkins run the whole program.
• You want phone-heavy appointment setting. memoryBlue weights calls heaviest, at about 100+ calls a day per rep, and SalesHive has a calls-only plan.
• You sell outside the US or in other languages. memoryBlue covers 30+ languages, and Callbox lists offices in eight countries. SalesOne serves US businesses only.
• You want a published per-meeting price or pay tied to meetings. None of the eight publishes a per-meeting price, but memoryBlue offers performance-based engagements and CIENCE pays a bonus on held meetings. SalesOne prices on a call.
• You want a published starting price before the first call. SalesBread, Abstrakt, Belkins and CIENCE publish one.
• You need native two-way CRM sync. SalesHive includes it; SalesOne copies sent email to your CRM by BCC.

An agency starts sooner than a hire, because its reps are already recruited and trained, but the work often runs from its systems. An in-house SDR gives the most control and takes about three months to ramp, by the Bridge Group’s 2025 figures. AI SDR software scales research and drafting, not relationships. A hybrid puts software on the research and a person on the calls, inside your own workspace. Our comparison of in-house vs outsourced SDR vs AI SDR sets the four side by side on cost, control and fit.

If the founder still closes most deals, fix the message before you add anyone: outsourced reps repeat what they are given. See founder-led sales.
