Home › Blog › SalesRoads alternatives (October 2026): cheaper seats, other channels, or pay per meeting
SalesRoads charges $11,950 per four weeks for one US SDR. Seven alternatives, priced from their own pages: cheaper seats, pods and pay per meeting.

Short answer: SalesRoads' pricing page charges $11,950 per four-week period for one US SDR and $16,750 for two, on phone and email, with "No long-term commitment. Cancel anytime." (as of October 2026). That is about $155,000 a year for one rep, my arithmetic. Cheaper published options include CIENCE (from $4,249 a month), EBQ and Abstrakt (from $5,000), and Callbox (about $6,667 a pod). Per-meeting options include FunnL and us.
How this page was made. Written by Moe Alhosni, who runs ROI Maximizer, a pay-per-meeting agency on this list. Every price comes from the firm's own page, read on 30 October 2026 and linked. Where a firm publishes no price, I say so. The firms are grouped by need, not ranked.
Per its pricing page, SalesRoads bills per four-week period:
| SDRs | Price per 4 weeks |
|---|---|
| 1 | $11,950 |
| 2 | $16,750 ($8,375 per rep) |
| 3 | $23,500 |
| 4 | $30,150 |
| 5 | $36,700 |
| 6 | $43,150 |
Every programme includes dedicated SDRs, a client strategist, an SDR performance coach, a research and data team, "500 records per SDR per month" of prospect data, CRM integration, a live dashboard and "Multiple domains and mailboxes" for email. Channels are outbound calling and personalised email. Inbound appointment setting and account reactivation are add-ons.
Terms: "No long-term commitment. Cancel anytime." It recommends a "12-week go-to-market lab" first, which is $35,850 for one SDR. Four-week billing means 13 periods a year, so one SDR for a year is $155,350, my arithmetic. More in SalesRoads pricing.
The price is the usual reason people look elsewhere. The terms are good; the quality of a US rep with coaching costs what it costs.
| Firm | How it charges, from its own page (as of October 2026) | Minimum term | Zero-meeting month |
|---|---|---|---|
| SalesRoads | $11,950 per 4 weeks for one SDR | "Cancel anytime"; 12 weeks recommended | Full fee |
| CIENCE | $2,000 team + $499 platform + SDRs from $1,750 (offshore) or $3,500 (US and Europe) a month | "Month to month, no long contract" | At least $4,249 |
| EBQ | $5,000 a month half-time, $10,000 full-time | Annual, paid monthly | Full fee |
| Abstrakt Marketing Group | Outbound BDR "starting at $5,000 per month" | Not stated | Full fee |
| Callbox | Estimated "$6,667/mo" per pod | Not stated | Full fee, assumed |
| SalesHive | "Custom quoted", one monthly fee; phone-only Starter plan | Month to month or annual | Full fee |
| FunnL | "$2000 monthly retainer" + "$300 per completed sales meeting" | Not stated | $2,000, assumed |
| ROI Maximizer | Setup $1,000–$3,000, then $200–$500 per qualified meeting that took place, or a flat $5,000 a month | No minimum term | Nothing on the per-meeting plan after setup |
CIENCE with one US or Europe SDR is $5,999 a month ($2,000 team, $499 platform, $3,500 SDR), month to month, plus a held-meeting bonus and an unpriced setup fee. With an offshore SDR, $4,249. See CIENCE pricing.
EBQ sells a full-time rep at $10,000 a month or a half-time one at $5,000, on "annual contracts that can be paid monthly". Cheaper per month than SalesRoads, but a year's commitment. See EBQ pricing.
SalesHive has a phone-only Starter plan with one US-based SDR at "100+ daily touches", custom quoted, no setup fee. Compare the quote line by line.
Abstrakt Marketing Group prints "Pricing starting at $5,000 per month" for Outbound BDR, run across phone, email, LinkedIn and direct mail by a 500+ person team in St. Louis, calling since 2009. No term is published.
Callbox estimates "$6,667/mo" for a pod with a dedicated SDR, data, a campaign manager and weekly reports, across phone, email, LinkedIn and retargeting. See Callbox pricing.
FunnL charges a $2,000 retainer plus $300 per completed meeting. The retainer is fixed, and "qualified" is not defined on the page. Belkins also offers a pay-per-appointment plan "starting from $750/meeting", per its own blog, alongside its retainer.
SalesRoads recommends 12 weeks before deciding, and that is a reasonable ask for any outbound programme: lists need testing, copy needs a few rounds, and calling takes time to settle. The question is what you learn for $35,850. Before the lab starts, agree in writing the numbers you will judge it on: conversations, meetings booked, meetings that took place, and how many of those your sales team rated as real opportunities. If the lab cannot give you those four numbers at week 12, the decision to continue will be a feeling, not a fact. Hold any alternative, including us, to the same four.
We charge per meeting. A one-off setup fee of $1,000–$3,000, then $200–$500 per qualified meeting that took place, nothing for a no-show. Or a flat $5,000 a month. No minimum term, like SalesRoads, but no four-week fee in an empty month on the per-meeting plan.
Our published proof: PR Noir, 27 leads that became 10 qualified meetings and a $90K deal in 45 days, and P1 Communications, 20+ qualified meetings.

$11,950 per four-week period for one SDR and $16,750 for two, up to $43,150 for six, per its pricing page as of October 2026. It recommends a 12-week first run.
Yes, effectively. The page says "No long-term commitment. Cancel anytime." Billing is per four weeks, not per calendar month.
On printed prices: FunnL at a $2,000 retainer plus $300 a meeting, CIENCE at $4,249 a month with an offshore SDR, and EBQ's half-time rep or Abstrakt's Outbound BDR at $5,000 a month. Our per-meeting plan is a one-off $1,000–$3,000 setup, then $200–$500 per qualified meeting that took place.
The fee covers a dedicated US SDR, a strategist, a performance coach, a data team and the sending infrastructure. You are paying for US salaries and management, not just activity.
The pricing page states no guarantee, as of October 2026.
