Cleverly alternatives in 2026: LinkedIn firms compared

By Be Leaded. Updated October 20, 2026.

Cleverly publishes done for you LinkedIn plans and prices cold email per meeting ready lead. Shoppers leave for LinkedIn with email, more say on copy, or a different term. Seven firms are grouped by job below. Be Leaded wrote this guide and takes the third place. Every fact was opened on the firm's own site on October 20, 2026.

What Cleverly publishes

Start with what Cleverly prints, then read the seven firms. Nobody paid for a place on this list, and the order follows the job, not a score.

On the October 20, 2026 opening of the Cleverly FAQ, the lead generation price line is the sentence quoted here.

For Lead Generation, our pricing plans range from $397/mo to $997/mo

Under the cold email heading, that FAQ names the charge pay per meeting ready lead, and it says there is no contract because billing stays month to month. The FAQ points onward to Cleverly's cold email service page for the model, and this guide does not repeat any meeting range printed there.

The Cleverly homepage, opened the same day, puts outbound work under three channel headings: Cold Emailing, Cold Calling, and LinkedIn Outreach. A paid ads heading is not on that screen, so this guide does not claim one. The FAQ refers to a prospect accepting your connection request, which places the send on your profile. The same FAQ says the last step before launch is your review and approval.

Quick answer by job

Each bullet pairs one job with one firm. Be Leaded sits in the third bullet. The list is a way to sort the work.

  • Manual LinkedIn plus warm email, for a short account list: SalesBread.
  • Managed prospecting by email and LinkedIn, with display ads and gifting, around £3K per month: Sopro.
  • Email, LinkedIn and cold calling. Replies get answered and the meeting gets booked: Be Leaded. Phone work for that row is written up on the cold calling services page.
  • A month to month retainer that prints a calling fee and a wider phone, email, and LinkedIn fee: Leadium.
  • Belkins is the firm whose plans are Growth alongside Growth Plus, with For small business as its own heading, and Enterprise after those.
  • SDR seats with two starting prices, Offshore and US and Europe: CIENCE.
  • Fractional sales team, opened with a pilot: Martal Group.

How we compared

Five questions, answered only from a page the firm itself hosts. The read date for every answer is October 20, 2026. Nothing here is a star score.

  • Which price the page actually prints.
  • Whose LinkedIn profile sends, when the page says so.
  • Whether email is sold alongside LinkedIn.
  • Which contract, pilot, or month to month line the page states.
  • What you are asked to approve before anything sends.

The seven agencies

SalesBread

SalesBread is the manual option: LinkedIn notes plus warm email, aimed at a short account list.

The SalesBread homepage, opened October 20, 2026, calls its LinkedIn messages ultra personalized and pairs them with warm emails. A process step on that page is list building of look alike customers, and another step is manual personalization. SalesBread's homepage calls the engagement month to month. The same page says the outreach uses your LinkedIn account, and it says you need Sales Navigator. No dollar fee is printed on that homepage, so this guide does not invent one. Lead counts on that homepage are left out.

Sopro

Sopro is here for managed prospecting that bundles email, LinkedIn, display ads, and gifting.

The Sopro pricing page, opened October 20, 2026, prints this start price.

around £3K per month

The same screen says there is no minimum contract, and it does not publish a tier menu. Under multi channel outreach it names email outreach, LinkedIn outreach, display ads called Audience AdSync, and gifting. Intent tracking sits in its own block. The page does not say whose LinkedIn profile sends.

Be Leaded

Be Leaded is third of the seven. The channels this guide lists for Be Leaded are Email, LinkedIn and cold calling. Phone work for Be Leaded is written up on the cold calling services page. A trial that is only LinkedIn, and that has to cost less than $1,000 a month, sits outside this row.

Opened October 20, 2026, our pricing screen lists sending domains and inboxes after warmup, a built list that then gets verified, sequences drafted around the market you actually sell to, LinkedIn running beside the email, replies worked until a time is booked, and a written report once a week.

Programs start from $2,000 a month. Target up to 25,000 new contacts a month.

First send on that screen lands about three weeks out. The appointment setting page is where booking is described.

Whose profile sends: the LinkedIn lead generation page says the messages leave from profiles your own team already uses. That page also says you approve the notes before they go out.

Leadium

Leadium is the month at a time option, with a calling fee and a wider fee that names phone, email, and LinkedIn.

Opened October 20, 2026, Leadium's pricing URL states that agreements renew one month at a time and prints no dollar fee. The dollars sit on the outbound services article, opened the same day. That article puts calling on its own at $3,500 a month. Phone, email, and LinkedIn together are the wider offer, from $4,000 up to $5,000 a month. The article's other market ranges are not treated as Leadium's fee. The pages opened here do not say whose LinkedIn profile sends.

Belkins

Belkins is here because the public plan names are specific, and email plus LinkedIn are marked across Growth, across Growth Plus, and across For small business.

A pass on October 20, 2026 through the Belkins pricing page turns up Growth alongside Growth Plus, with For small business as its own heading, and Enterprise after those. Cold email outreach and LinkedIn outreach both carry the Included mark across Growth, across Growth Plus, and across For small business. Enterprise is described as tailored, including custom contract terms. Intent based cold calling carries Included across Growth and across Growth Plus, and it carries Not included across For small business. The appointment counts in the yearly row are not repeated. The appointment setting page, same date, prints from $5,000 under the label average starter price. Those pages do not say whose LinkedIn profile sends.

CIENCE

CIENCE is here because the seats are priced as separate lines, and the live screen shows two of those lines rather than three regions.

On the CIENCE pricing page, opened October 20, 2026, campaign team is priced at $2,000 per month and graph8 is priced at $499 per month. Two SDR starting prices are on the screen. The offshore seat line prints Starting at $1,750 and then the words per SDR, per month. The combined US and Europe seat prints Starting at $3,500 with that same per SDR, per month line. A third Europe only seat is absent. The opening copy says month to month, no long contract, names one setup fee, and adds a bonus when a meeting target is hit. It does not print a dollar for the setup fee or for the bonus. Each SDR, that page states, places calls, sends email, and writes messages. The setup list includes email, phone, and LinkedIn. It does not say whose LinkedIn profile sends. That campaign team figure is a single menu row. It is not a full program price, and it is not Be Leaded's fee.

Martal Group

Martal Group is the pilot option: a fractional sales team, not a single channel menu.

The Martal Group pricing page, opened October 20, 2026, repeats this label on Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3.

Customize your pricing

No dollar retainer is printed. Tier 1A, outbound lead generation, shows a 3 Month Pilot Campaign and then a monthly subscription. The price label under that tier is a flat fee per month. Tier 2 and Tier 3 show a 4 Month Pilot Campaign. Their price label adds a sales commission onto the monthly flat fee. Scope lines on the outbound tiers name emails, LinkedIn, and calls. Funnel totals on that page are left out. The page does not say whose LinkedIn profile sends.

LinkedIn only or with email

LinkedIn caps how many invitations one profile can send, so the reach of a single profile stays limited. Email can cover more accounts in the same week. Running both lets one channel follow the other.

LinkedIn on its own fits best when the buyers are active there and the account list is small. Coaches, consultants, and recruiters often match that shape. When the list outgrows one profile, email is the channel that carries the extra accounts. How we run the profile side is on LinkedIn lead generation. The inbox build is described on our cold email agency writeup.

Keeping a LinkedIn account safe

Ask these before any agency sends on LinkedIn. Get the answers in writing. No firm is named in this list, and no firm is scored by it.

  • Whose profile sends the requests.
  • What daily action limits the agency keeps.
  • Whether any tool logs in as you.
  • Who writes the connection notes.
  • What happens if LinkedIn restricts the account.

If you would rather use software

Some buyers do not want a done for you firm. Self serve software exists in three groups: LinkedIn automation tools, cold email sending tools, and data tools. This guide does not price those tools and does not rank brands. For the cost of hiring the work out versus running it yourself, use the cold email agency pricing guide.

Questions

What are the best Cleverly alternatives?

For manual LinkedIn on a short list, SalesBread. For Email, LinkedIn and cold calling, Be Leaded answers every reply and books the meeting. Read the phone channel on the cold calling services page. For a bundle with display ads and gifting, Sopro. For phone plus email plus LinkedIn on a published retainer, Leadium. For monthly retainer packages with named tiers, Belkins is the match, and its plans are Growth together with Growth Plus, the heading For small business, and Enterprise.

How much does Cleverly cost?

On October 20, 2026, the Cleverly FAQ still prints a lead generation range of $397 to $997 a month and mentions discounts when a team plan covers three or more users. Cold email on that same FAQ is charged per meeting ready lead, and the term is month to month.

Is Cleverly a tool or an agency?

Cleverly's homepage presents the firm as done for you outbound, and the channel headings on that page are LinkedIn outreach, cold email, and cold calling. A self serve tool, such as a cold email sender or a LinkedIn automation app, leaves the writing and the sending with you.

Is LinkedIn outreach enough on its own?

Sometimes. It fits best when buyers are active on LinkedIn and the list stays small. LinkedIn caps invitations on a profile, so teams that need more conversations usually place email beside it.

Does Be Leaded run LinkedIn outreach?

Yes. Email, LinkedIn and cold calling, and each reply is carried through to a meeting on your calendar.

The cold calling services page covers the phone side, where call minutes billed at cost sit on top of the program.

Programs start from $2,000 a month.

How do I keep my LinkedIn profile safe when an agency runs outreach?

Ask whose profile sends, what daily limits the agency keeps, whether any tool logs in as you, and who approves the messages. Get those answers in writing before launch.
