The short answer: Belkins does not publish prices. It sells monthly retainer packages (Growth, Growth Plus, a Small Business tier delivered through partner agencies, and Enterprise) and quotes each one after a discovery call. Third-party reviews put its retainers at roughly $2,000 to $5,000 a month for smaller packages and $5,000 to $14,800 or more for full-service programs, usually on a three to six month minimum. Belkins' own pricing article describes its fractional model in the $10,000 to $12,000-plus a month tier. If you want booked meetings without a retainer, an AI SDR such as Sdrs starts at $49 a month, billed monthly.

How much does Belkins cost per month?

For a typical US B2B company buying Belkins' core appointment setting program, plan on something between $5,000 and $12,000 a month once scope is set, with smaller starter packages available lower in the range. That monthly figure covers a dedicated team: an account manager, SDRs, copywriters, lead researchers and a deliverability specialist. It is a real team, and the price reflects that.

The number that matters more than the monthly figure is the commitment. With a three month minimum at $6,000 a month you are signing for $18,000 before you know whether the meetings convert. At six months and $10,000 a month the commitment is $60,000. Callbox's review cites an entry appointment-setting plan at around $13,000 for six months, which is the lowest published figure we found. To see how that compares with agencies that publish per-SDR prices, such as CIENCE and SalesRoads, read our outsourced SDR pricing guide.

What does a Belkins appointment actually cost?

Belkins sells its plans by annual appointment volume, so you can estimate cost per meeting. Take Growth, which Belkins describes as 100 or more appointments a year. If that plan runs at $10,000 a month, a year costs $120,000, or about $1,200 per appointment at 100 meetings. At 150 meetings it falls to $800. Growth Plus at 200 or more appointments a year, at a higher retainer, lands in a similar range.

These are illustrative numbers built from the published tier descriptions, not a Belkins quote. Your quote will depend on market, titles and channels. Still, the math is useful for one decision: if your average first-year deal is worth $50,000, a $1,000 meeting is cheap. If your deal is worth $8,000, it probably is not, and you need a lower cost per meeting.

For comparison, Belkins' own article lists pay-per-appointment agencies at $200 to $600 per meeting and retainers across the market at $2,000 to $25,000 a month. Our roundup of outsourced SDR companies and what they cost puts Belkins next to Leadium, CIENCE, SalesRoads and memoryBlue.

What you get for the money

According to Belkins, every plan includes a sales audit and strategy mapping, total addressable market calculation and buyer profile work, manual lead research and validation, copywriting, reporting, appointment scheduling with no-show recovery, and ongoing tech support. Reviewers consistently credit the reporting dashboard and the dedicated team.

The trade-offs reviewers mention most are price relative to other agencies, a limited set of CRM integrations, and results that vary in narrow niche markets. None of that is unusual for a managed agency. It is the cost of having people do the work.

Hidden costs to budget for

  • Setup fees. Belkins' own pricing article notes that agencies in the market charge $5,000 to $15,000 on top of the retainer for setup. Ask whether yours includes one.
  • Upfront payment. The same article says premium agencies may ask for 6 to 12 months upfront. Clarify payment terms, not just the monthly rate.
  • Ramp time. Four to six weeks of onboarding means the first month or so is mostly paid preparation.
  • Your closer's time. Booked meetings still need an account executive. If nobody can take ten extra calls a month, the retainer is wasted.
  • Domains and mailboxes. Agencies usually send from lookalike domains. Confirm who owns them and the contact data when the contract ends.

Belkins vs Sdrs pricing

Belkins and Sdrs solve the same problem, getting qualified B2B meetings on your calendar, in different ways. Belkins is a managed agency with people doing research and writing. Sdrs is an AI SDR you run yourself: it builds the list, writes the sequence, follows up, reads replies and books the meeting.

Best forCompanies with large deals that want outbound fully handledFounders and SMB sales teams that want meetings without a retainer

If you need a strategy team and have the budget, Belkins is a credible choice with a long review record. If you mainly need a steady flow of first meetings and can write a clear brief, an AI appointment setter delivers the booking work for a fraction of one month's retainer. Teams that were about to hire a remote rep instead can look at a virtual SDR on a monthly plan.

Is Belkins worth the price?

Belkins is worth it when three things are true: your average deal is large enough that a meeting worth $800 to $1,200 still pays back comfortably, you can commit to three to six months, and you want a team to own strategy and copy rather than doing it yourself. Enterprise software, high-ticket professional services and large IT contracts often fit.

It is harder to justify for a company selling a $5,000 to $20,000 annual contract, a founder testing a new market, or a team that already knows its buyer and message. In those cases the retainer buys work that software now does, and the minimum term removes the ability to stop after thirty days if the segment is wrong. Once meetings start arriving, a routing tool can assign each new lead to the right account executive so nothing waits in a shared inbox, whichever option books them.

Belkins pricing questions

Does Belkins publish its prices?

No. Belkins lists its plans (Growth, Growth Plus, For Small Business and Enterprise) and what each includes, but every price is quoted after a discovery call. The figures in this article come from Belkins' own pricing article, its Clutch profile and independent reviews.

What is the Belkins minimum contract?

Third-party reviews consistently report a three to six month minimum, billed as a monthly retainer. Belkins' own article says premium agencies may ask for 6 to 12 months upfront. Confirm the term and payment schedule in writing before you sign.

How many appointments does Belkins book?

Belkins describes Growth as 100 or more appointments a year, Growth Plus as 200 or more, and the Small Business tier as 30 or more. That is roughly 8 to 17 meetings a month on the main plans. Actual volume depends on your market and offer.

What is a cheaper alternative to Belkins?

For companies that do not need a managed team, an AI SDR is the lowest-cost option. Sdrs includes contact data, AI-written email and LinkedIn sequences, reply handling and meeting booking from $149 a month on Plus, billed monthly, with a $49 Starter plan for email outreach.
