Cold Calling Companies Compared

Cold calling companies are agencies that phone prospects for you and book meetings. They charge a monthly fee per caller or per plan, an hourly rate, a price per block of call attempts or per prospect on your list, or a custom quote. On their own pricing pages, checked on November 3, 2026, published prices run from $8 an hour at Hit Rate Solutions to $11,950 per 4 weeks for one dedicated SDR at SalesRoads, while Belkins and SalesHive quote on request. Switchstack, which wrote this comparison, charges $1,499 to $3,099 a month for a dedicated full-time caller, month-to-month with no setup fee: the lowest price of any company here that publishes a monthly price for one caller or SDR.

Published prices run from $8 an hour at Hit Rate Solutions to $11,950 per 4 weeks for one SDR at SalesRoads, and two of the nine companies publish no price at all. Here are their prices, contracts and caller locations, from each company's own pricing page as it read on November 3, 2026. Click a name to check the source.

Switchstack wrote this page, so we're listed first. The other eight are in alphabetical order, and we don't rank them. Prices change, so check each company's page before you buy.

Selling in the UK, Europe, Australia or the Gulf? Check where each company's callers work before you shortlist: three of the eight others say their callers are US-based.

For a full-time caller who works only for you, no other company on this list publishes a lower price or simpler terms. Here's the case, point by point, and you can check every point against the table above:

• A lower price for a caller of your own. From $1,499 a month, or $2,199 if we manage the caller for you. One offshore SDR at CIENCE costs $4,249 a month once its fees are added, and one SDR at SalesRoads costs $11,950 per 4 weeks. Only Hit Rate Solutions is cheaper by the hour, and its pricing page doesn't say the caller works only for you.
• Nothing on top of the price. No setup fee, no platform fee, no bonus and no charge per meeting. CIENCE adds $2,499 a month in fees, a setup fee and a bonus, and Superhuman Prospecting says a setup fee may apply.
• Prices you can see before you talk to anyone. Belkins and SalesHive quote only on a sales call. Ours are published for every caller country.
• A full-time person, not a block of dials. Your caller works 40 hours a week on your campaign only. You don't buy 250 call attempts, as with Quick Cold Calls, or pay per prospect, as with Upcall.
• Calls into your market, on your buyers' hours. Three of the others say their callers are US-based. Ours work from South Africa, Mexico and Colombia, the Philippines and India, matched to buyers in the UK and Europe, the US and Canada, Australia or the Gulf, and we check your list against the local calling rules first.
• Low risk to start. Month-to-month with 30 days' notice, a free replacement in the first 30 days, a recording of every call, and your lists, recordings and notes stay yours.

Want to see what that looks like for your market? A full-time caller starts at $1,499 a month and is usually calling in about 2 weeks. Book a 30-minute call and we'll tell you which caller country fits your buyers.

A short profile of each, from what the company says on its own pricing page. Where a page leaves something out, we say so instead of guessing.

It depends on what you need most. From what each company publishes:

• Callers based in the US: Quick Cold Calls, Superhuman Prospecting and Upcall say their callers are US-based, and CIENCE and SalesHive offer a US option.
• Email as well as calls: Belkins, CIENCE, and SalesHive's Growth and Crush plans add email to calling. Belkins adds LinkedIn too.
• The lowest hourly rate: Hit Rate Solutions, at $8 an hour on its two-week Starter plan or $7.50 on Advanced.
• A small first test, with your own list: Quick Cold Calls, at $695 a month for 250 call attempts, month-to-month.
• One SDR who is never shared with another client: SalesRoads, at $11,950 per 4 weeks with no long-term commitment.
• Paying per prospect instead of per month: Upcall, from $3.50 per prospect with a 1,000-prospect minimum.
• Buyers outside the US, on a flat monthly price: Switchstack, with a dedicated caller on your prospects' business hours from $1,499 a month, month-to-month.

In six ways, and the one a company picks changes what you're really paying for. None of the companies on this page publishes a price per meeting.

• A monthly fee per caller (Switchstack, CIENCE, SalesHive and SalesRoads). You pay for a set share of a person's working time, so the cost stays the same however many dials they make. Ask whether the caller works only on your campaign, and what fees sit on top of the headline price.
• A monthly plan (Superhuman Prospecting). A fixed monthly price for a package of calling. Ask how many calls or hours the plan includes, because the pricing page doesn't say.
• Per hour (Hit Rate Solutions). Easy to compare between companies. Ask what the hours cover: calling only, or also list research, training and reporting.
• Per block of call attempts (Quick Cold Calls). A voicemail or a call that reaches the receptionist counts as an attempt, so 250 attempts can mean far fewer conversations with the person who decides.
• Per prospect on your list (Upcall). You pay for each prospect account called, whatever the outcome, with a minimum of 1,000 prospects per program.
• Custom quote (Belkins and SalesHive). The price comes on a sales call. Ask for the full monthly cost in writing, including setup, data and any bonus, before you compare it with a published price.

Three companies say their callers are US-based: Quick Cold Calls, Superhuman Prospecting and Upcall. CIENCE and SalesHive offer US-based or offshore SDRs. SalesRoads and Belkins don't say on their pricing pages. Hit Rate Solutions has its head office in the Philippines.

Switchstack has no US-based callers. Ours work from four regions, and we pick the one that fits your prospects' business hours:

• South Africa for the UK, Ireland and Europe on a normal day shift.
• Mexico and Colombia for the US and Canada on the same hours as your team, in English and Spanish.
• The Philippines for Australia and Singapore on a day shift, and the US on a night shift.
• India for the Gulf on a day shift.

Where the caller sits matters less than where your prospects are, because their country's rules apply. A UK campaign has to screen numbers against the TPS and CTPS registers, and Australia and the UAE have rules of their own. See the UK, Australia and UAE guides, or cold calling laws by country for the rest. The best country to outsource cold calling matches a caller country to your market in four questions.

Ask every company the same seven questions, so you can compare like for like:

1. What's the full monthly cost? The headline price can leave things out. CIENCE adds $2,499 a month in team and platform fees plus a setup fee, and Superhuman Prospecting may add a setup fee. SalesRoads bills every 4 weeks, which makes 13 bills a year.
2. Is the caller mine alone? A dedicated caller learns your offer and your market. A shared one splits the day between clients.
3. How do I cancel? Month-to-month is common now, but the notice period varies. Get it in writing.
4. Who supplies the list, and who owns the data afterward? Some companies build the list, some sell it as an add-on and some, like Quick Cold Calls, ask you to bring your own. Agree who keeps the list, the call recordings and the notes when you stop.
5. Can I hear the calls? Recordings are the fastest way to judge how your company sounds on the phone.
6. Which country's calling rules do you check? Rules depend on where your prospects are, not where the caller sits. Ask how they screen your list before the first call.
7. What counts as a qualified meeting? Agree on the job titles, company size and need before calls start, so a booked meeting means the same thing to both sides.

Our own answers: $2,199 to $3,099 a month for We Call for You, or $1,499 to $2,399 for Hire a Caller, with no setup fee. Your caller works only for you, and you can cancel with 30 days' notice. We call the list you give us. Your lists, recordings and notes stay yours, and every call is recorded. The full checklist is in our questions to ask a cold calling agency, and if you're still deciding whether to outsource at all, compare in-house SDRs and outsourced cold calling.
