Our slice (that's us)
Real Good GTM
Founder-led, signal-based, two-month start then monthly. No cold calling.
Every agency below is verified on its own site, July 2026. No paid placements, no affiliate links.
Martal is a genuinely strong, highly rated outsourced sales team, so most teams leave for fit reasons, not quality ones. Here is the honest read, strengths first.
What Martal does well
Senior North American reps, since 2009
Martal fields an outsourced team of experienced North American reps, running since 2009, now paired with an AI-powered outbound platform. It holds a 4.8 out of 5 on Clutch across 109 reviews, a strong sample.
Reviewers value senior sellers who handle real conversations, not junior SDRs reading a script. If that is what you need and the budget fits, Martal is a safe pick.
Where the fit can break
A pilot commitment, and quote-only pricing
Martal asks for a multi-month pilot and quotes per scope, with no public figure. It is built for funded mid-market and enterprise, so the effective floor is steep at seed.
Worth knowing if you want no minimum, published pricing, or founders in the work rather than an outsourced team, the fit can break well before the reps ever dial.
The read
Nothing here says Martal does bad work. Senior onshore reps and a record back to 2009 are real strengths. People move for structural reasons: they cannot sit through a multi-month pilot, they want a price before a sales call, the floor is too high at seed, or they want founders rather than an outsourced team. Read the entry that matches your own reason for leaving.
At a glance
The Martal Group alternatives at a glance
Grouped by fit, not ranked. Pricing is the lowest figure each agency publishes on its own site, checked July 2026. Where nothing is published, it shows as "custom," and where a price list came down, the cell says so.
Details move. Treat this as a July 2026 snapshot and confirm on each agency's own site before you commit.
How we built this list
A practitioner read, not a reposted directory
Each agency on this page was verified against its own live site in July 2026: who it serves, how the engagement works, and whatever pricing it shows. The shortlist is limited to genuine Martal Group peers, the outsourced-sales and appointment-setting shops a founder would really consider, with anything unconfirmable cut.
The commentary comes from running outbound ourselves rather than compiling a directory. Clutch ratings are quoted only where a credible independent sample exists; where there was none, we showed no rating at all rather than estimating one.
How we built this list
→ Every agency verified on its own current site, July 2026
→ Ratings shown only where a credible independent sample exists, linked and dated
→ No affiliate links, no paid placements, no pay-to-list
→ We publish this list and we are on it. We do not rank ourselves first, and we say where we are not the fit

The real test
How much will you commit up front?
Martal's senior reps come with a multi-month pilot. The real split among its alternatives is how much you have to commit, and how transparent the terms are, before you see results.
Pilot or quote-only
A senior team, behind a commitment
Experienced teams that ask you to commit first: a multi-month pilot or a per-scope quote with a minimum. Martal, Belkins, Callbox, and memoryBlue work this way. You get seasoned people, but you commit before you see the numbers.
Use it when you are funded, know your ICP, and can commit a quarter or more to a senior team.
Transparent or flexible
Published rates, or the option to leave
Shops that show pricing or let you walk: SalesRoads is cancel-anytime, CIENCE is month to month, Cleverly sells a cheap single-channel tier, and a founder-led shop starts short. You trade some scale for flexibility and clearer terms.
Use it when you want to see pricing up front or keep the option to leave after a short run.
The through-line
Seniority is usually sold with a commitment attached, so the trade is honest: lock in longer for more experienced hands, or keep flexible terms and start leaner. Then there is the second axis, whether a senior pod or the founders themselves sit on your account. Whichever way you go, make the agency answer two questions first: who runs my account day to day, and what exactly am I committed to?
The alternatives
The seven alternatives, grouped by fit
Three groups, three answers to the pilot-and-quote problem. Start with the group that fixes what pushed you here.
Group A
Senior, onshore sales teams
If Martal's rep quality was never the problem, stay in this lane: experienced North American sellers, minus whichever term pushed you out.
Proof that senior US reps do not have to come with a pilot: tenure-heavy appointment-setting teams, cancel-anytime terms, and starting prices printed on the site.
Best for
Mid-market and enterprise that liked Martal's rep seniority but not committing months before seeing results.
Model & pricing (Jul 2026)
Dedicated US teams on a retainer you can cancel any month. Appointment setting published from $9,950 per four weeks.
Where they're strong
Senior reps of the same onshore school, a 4.9 on Clutch, no-commitment terms, and a visible starting price.
Consider elsewhere if
You want Martal's senior onshore reps but at a lower or unpublished number. SalesRoads trades the pilot for no lock-in, yet its roughly $9,950 per four weeks floor is the steepest entry point on this list.
Bottom line
The closest like-for-like swap for Martal's senior team, only cancel-anytime and openly priced, if you can carry a roughly $10k a month floor.
An exit ramp from outsourcing altogether: a B2B tech sales-development shop that runs your SDR program while training and recruiting the team you keep in-house.
Best for
Funded B2B tech, public-sector vendors included, that see outsourced SDRs as a bridge to an internal team.
Model & pricing (Jul 2026)
SDR programs bundled with training and recruiting, quoted per scope. Like Martal, no figure published.
Where they're strong
A build-plus-hire model few rivals offer, twenty-plus years in sales development, and deep tech and cybersecurity coverage with an alumni network behind it.
Consider elsewhere if
You were leaving Martal for published pricing or a founder-scale engagement. Like Martal, memoryBlue is a larger firm that quotes per scope with no public figure.
Bottom line
Unlike Martal's outsourced-only team, memoryBlue lets you run outsourced SDRs now and hire the reps later. Tech-focused, quote-only, and not seed-priced.
For leavers who want more machine, not more seniority: bigger pods running email, LinkedIn, and calling across regions, each with a review sample you can check.
The volume play: a large B2B lead generation and appointment-setting agency where a dedicated SDR pod works email, LinkedIn, and calling at scale for each client.
Best for
Teams leaving Martal for throughput: ICP already proven, budget for a full pod, and an appetite for high-volume appointment setting.
Model & pricing (Jul 2026)
Retainer packages tied to annual appointment volume. No published figure; as with Martal, the price arrives on a sales call.
Where they're strong
One of the category's largest positive review samples, a 4.9 on Clutch across 230+ reviews, and a documented 14-day launch.
Consider elsewhere if
You wanted Belkins to fix Martal's quote-only pricing or steep mid-market floor; it shares both. Like Martal it does not publish a figure and reads as funded mid-market, and some reviews note booked-meeting counts falling short.
Bottom line
Where Martal leans on rep seniority, Belkins leans on higher volume and the category's largest review sample, at a similar mid-market spend. Overkill and over-budget for a seed experiment.
For when Martal's North American focus is the constraint: a firm running since 2004 with delivery teams in seven countries, built for cross-border outbound.
Best for
Mid-market and enterprise whose pipeline has to span regions, including APAC and other cross-border markets.
Model & pricing (Jul 2026)
A managed subscription quoted per campaign scope. No public figure here either.
Where they're strong
Two decades of appointment setting, delivery spanning the US, UK, APAC and beyond, with account-based and event marketing under the same roof.
Consider elsewhere if
You picked Callbox over Martal for geography but wanted a small senior team or a public number. It reaches well beyond Martal's North America, yet stays quote-only and built for larger, multi-region programs.
Bottom line
Reach for Callbox over Martal when the job spans regions Martal's North American team does not, not when you want a leaner senior pod. Overbuilt for a single-market seed experiment.
The escape from pilot-plus-quote economics: posted prices, month-to-month terms, or the founders themselves doing the work, all sized for a seed or early-stage start.
The anti-pilot: a long-running SDR shop, human reps plus its own data and AI stack, that publishes an itemized price list instead of scoping you on a call.
Best for
SMB to enterprise that wants outsourced SDRs without a pilot, including a lower-cost offshore option.
Model & pricing (Jul 2026)
No pilot, no long contract, month to month. Published: about $5,000 setup plus $2,000 a month, SDRs from $1,500 a month.
Where they're strong
Itemized public pricing, month-to-month terms in place of a pilot, large operating scale, and a choice of onshore or offshore reps.
Consider elsewhere if
You valued Martal's 4.8 rating and white-glove seniority. CIENCE trades some of that for transparency: its 4.2 Clutch score sits below Martal, and reviews note some lead-quality and turnover variance.
Bottom line
The transparent, month-to-month swap for a multi-month pilot, with an offshore option that lowers the floor. Read recent reviews on lead quality first.
The two of us run signal-based outbound for seed to early Series A. You get booked pipeline plus a clear read on what to scale, and you keep everything we build.
Best for
Seed to early Series A founders still close to their own sales who want founders on the account, not a junior pod. Paris-based, serving the US and Europe.
Model
A two-month start, then month to month, no lock-in. Signals over lists, built per segment. Pricing is custom, scoped on a fit check.
Where we're strong
You see lists, copy, and every system live, outbound built on buying signals per segment, and a learning document that stays current as we run.
Not for you if
You need cold calling, enterprise-scale SDR volume, guaranteed meeting counts, or an independently verified review score we cannot show yet.
Straight talk
We fit a narrow slice of this list, not all of it. If outbound is not the right motion for your stage yet, we say so on the fit check.
The full retreat from a senior-team retainer: LinkedIn-first lead gen at the cheap end here, with cold email and calling tiers if you later scale up.
Best for
SMB and budget-conscious teams testing outbound on a fraction of a Martal-sized budget.
Model & pricing (Aug 2026)
Tiered: LinkedIn outreach first, then cold email, then calling. The tiers used to be public, but the pricing page came down, so Cleverly quotes per scope now, like most of this list.
Where they're strong
Historically the lowest floor on this page, though the tiers are no longer published, plus US-based account managers and a sizable review base.
Consider elsewhere if
You actually valued Martal's senior sellers. Cleverly sits at the opposite end: its entry tier is templated LinkedIn outreach, not a senior team or a full done-for-you SDR pod.
Bottom line
Where Martal is the steep senior-team commitment, Cleverly is the cheap starting point, a managed LinkedIn motion priced on a call. Set expectations to match a low-cost, templated tier.
Scan for the situation that sounds like yours and open with that agency. A first call to make, not a final one.
Seed or early stage, founder-led
Real Good GTM (that's us) to get the founders running it, or Cleverly for the cheapest managed test.
You want senior reps with no lock-in
SalesRoads, where the senior onshore model survives without the multi-month commitment.
You want the most proven, highest-rated pod
Belkins, carrying 230+ Clutch reviews at 4.9, one of the deepest samples in the category.
You want transparent, month-to-month pricing
CIENCE, which prints every rate and asks for no long contract.
You may hire the team later
memoryBlue, whose build-plus-hire model turns outsourced SDRs into your future in-house team.
You need multi-region coverage
Callbox, running delivery teams in seven countries where Martal stays North American.
Putting it together
How we'd actually choose
Here is the order we would work through this decision in ourselves, whether or not we make your shortlist at the end.
1
Decide how much you can commit
Martal's senior reps come with a multi-month pilot. If the lock-in is the friction, a cancel-anytime team like SalesRoads or a month-to-month shop like CIENCE is the real reason to move.
2
Decide who sits on the account
A senior outsourced team, a bigger managed pod, or the founders in person. Scale, seniority, and closeness pull against each other. Choose the model, then shop the logo.
3
Read the terms and the reviews
Get the commitment in writing and weigh it against a credible review sample. An exit clause and a printed price are worth more than a confident quote.

Martal Group is a strong, highly rated outsourced sales team, so most teams leave for fit reasons rather than quality ones. The common ones we hear: it asks for a multi-month pilot, it quotes per scope with no published pricing, and it is built for funded mid-market and enterprise, so the effective floor is steep at seed. If any of those matter to you, the alternatives below fit different shapes of that problem.
How much does Martal Group cost, and are the alternatives cheaper?
Martal Group quotes per scope on a tiered retainer with a multi-month pilot; it does not publish a figure. Some alternatives are more transparent: CIENCE publishes itemized pricing that starts around a $5,000 setup plus $2,000 a month, and SalesRoads lists appointment setting from $9,950 per four weeks. Cleverly used to publish its tiers, but its pricing page was gone when we checked in August 2026, so it now quotes per scope like Belkins, Callbox, and memoryBlue. Always confirm the current number on each agency's own site.
What is the best Martal Group alternative for an early-stage startup?
Martal is built for funded teams and asks for a multi-month pilot, so it is rarely the seed pick. At seed to early Series A the realistic options are a founder-led shop like Real Good GTM (that is us), a cheap templated program like Cleverly's LinkedIn tier, quoted on a call now that its prices are off the site, or CIENCE's month-to-month tiers. If you want senior reps without the lock-in, SalesRoads is cancel-anytime. Match the commitment and price floor to your stage before the logo.
Is Martal Group a good agency?
Yes. Martal Group holds a 4.8 out of 5 on Clutch across 109 reviews as of July 2026, a strong sample, and it has fielded senior North American reps since 2009. Reviewers praise the seniority of the sellers and the quality of conversations. The reason to consider an alternative is fit, your stage, budget, and whether you want a multi-month pilot, not a quality problem with Martal itself.
Which Martal Group alternatives publish their pricing?
As of July 2026, two of the alternatives here show real numbers on their own sites: CIENCE lists itemized pricing (roughly a $5,000 setup plus $2,000 a month), and SalesRoads lists appointment setting from $9,950 per four weeks. Cleverly listed tiers too until its pricing page came down, which we confirmed in August 2026, so it now quotes per scope alongside Belkins, Callbox, and memoryBlue, the same as Martal Group.
How did you choose and verify this list?
We verified each agency on its own current site in July 2026: what it does, who it serves, its engagement model, and any pricing it publishes. Ratings are shown only where a credible independent sample of roughly ten or more reviews exists, read directly off Clutch and linked. There are no paid placements or affiliate links. We publish this list and we are on it; we do not rank ourselves first, and we say where we are not the fit.
