## Why choose Switchstack over the others

For a full-time caller who works only for you, no other company on this list publishes a lower price or simpler terms.

- 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.

### Belkins

Belkins is a multichannel appointment setting agency: email, LinkedIn and calls. Its pricing page lists plans by appointments a year, from 30+ to 200+. Calls to prospects showing buying signals come with the Growth plans, and general cold calling and voicemails only with Growth Plus. It publishes no prices: you get one on a call.

### CIENCE

CIENCE sells outbound SDRs who run email and calls. Each SDR costs from $1,750 a month offshore or $3,500 in the US or Europe. On top come a $2,000 monthly campaign team fee and a $499 monthly platform fee, flat however many SDRs you have. There's also a one-time setup fee, and a bonus when an SDR reaches 60% or more of their meeting target. One offshore SDR therefore starts at $4,249 a month before the setup fee and bonus.

### Hit Rate Solutions

Hit Rate Solutions has the lowest hourly rate on this list. Outbound Starter is 80 hours for $640, a two-week plan, and Outbound Advanced is 160 hours for $1,200, or $7.50 an hour. It also sells inbound answering and virtual assistants. The pricing page doesn't say where its callers work, and its head office is in the Philippines. Source: https://hitratesolutions.com/pricing/

### Quick Cold Calls

Quick Cold Calls uses callers on its payroll in the continental US. Starter is 250 call attempts a month for $695, and Starter Double is 500 for $1,390, where an attempt is any dial, including voicemails and reaching a receptionist. You must supply the list: no package includes one. Its full SDR packages come from its sister company, Superhuman Prospecting. Source: https://quickcoldcalls.com/pricing/

### SalesHive

SalesHive sells managed SDR plans with US-based or offshore SDRs: Starter is one dedicated SDR on the phone only, Growth adds email, and Crush has two SDRs. All three are custom quoted on a call. There's no setup fee, and month-to-month plans need written notice to cancel. Older lists still quote prices it no longer publishes. Source: https://saleshive.com/pricing

### SalesRoads

SalesRoads has the highest published price on this list, for one SDR who is never shared with another client. One SDR is $11,950 per 4 weeks, and the price per SDR falls as you add more: two cost $16,750, or $8,375 each. Billing every 4 weeks means 13 bills a year, so one SDR comes to about $12,946 a calendar month. Source: https://salesroads.com/pricing/

### Superhuman Prospecting

Superhuman Prospecting uses US-based callers. Its Calls Only plan starts at $1,998 a month and the Premium SDR bundle at $4,995. A setup fee may apply, and the premium plan adds a $250 fee to connect to your CRM. It can also build your list from $3.00 a contact. Quick Cold Calls is its sister company.

### Upcall

Upcall uses US-based callers and prices per lead: each prospect account on your list. The smallest program covers 1,000 prospects, so it starts at about $3,500. Its larger plans list international calls (outside the US and Canada) as a feature. Source: https://www.upcall.com/pricing
