Key takeaway

Cleverly runs outreach on LinkedIn, cold email and cold calling, and its FAQ puts its LinkedIn plans at $397 to $997 a month. Lumos publishes LinkedIn plans from $397 too, and Built For B2B starts at $3,000 a month for one channel. Bavlio does done-for-you outbound on LinkedIn and email.

What Cleverly does and who it suits

Cleverly is a B2B lead generation agency that runs outreach on LinkedIn, cold email and cold calling. Its homepage says it turns your LinkedIn profile into a lead-generating system and counts 1,000 active clients. Its FAQ says it was built on LinkedIn lead generation and cold email and has since added appointment setting. It also sells outsourced SDRs. Cleverly started in Los Angeles and now runs with a fully remote team (about Cleverly).

Cleverly publishes its LinkedIn price. Its FAQ puts its LinkedIn lead generation plans at $397 to $997 a month, with discounts for team plans of three or more users. Its cold email service comes as a flat monthly retainer or as pay per lead, month to month with no contract, and that page shows no price.

The FAQ also sets expectations. You review and approve the messages before anything goes live. Most clients see 20 to 40 new leads a month, and Cleverly says it can't guarantee a number.

How we compared

The table starts with Cleverly for reference, then lists the agencies that publish a price, then the rest by name. Bavlio is not placed first.

The alternatives, one by one

Lumos

Lumos prices LinkedIn outreach by the number of profiles it runs: $397 a month for one profile and 1,000 or more messages, $697 for two profiles and $1,097 for four or more. Its plans carry no contract, and you can cancel future renewals anytime.

Built For B2B

Built For B2B runs cold email or LinkedIn from $3,000 a month for one channel, and both together from $5,000. Each plan has a separate one-time build fee and a three-month initial commitment, then rolls monthly.

Every Monday you get a report: who we reached, who replied and who is next. We don't run ads or make cold calls.

Best suited for. Bavlio suits B2B companies that want more sales meetings. We do your outreach, and you take the calls.

Belkins

Belkins books meetings over cold email, cold and intent calling, voicemail, SMS and WhatsApp, LinkedIn and paid advertising, and says it delivers 100 to 400 or more qualified appointments a year for a client. Its plans page shows no prices, and its own pricing guide puts its fractional model at $10,000 to $12,000 or more a month.

Best suited for. Its plans page calls its Growth plan ideal for companies that value wider reach, scalable growth and multi-channel communication, and offers a separate plan for lean teams.

When Cleverly is the better pick

Cleverly is the stronger choice in three cases.

You want LinkedIn outreach from $397 a month. Its LinkedIn plans start at the lowest published price in the table, the same as Lumos.
You run outreach from several profiles. It gives discounts on team plans of three or more users.
You may add channels later. It also sells cold email, cold calling, appointment setting and outsourced SDRs.

Lumos prices by LinkedIn profile, and Cleverly discounts team plans, so the number of senders changes the price.

How to choose

Decide how many channels you need. At Built For B2B, one channel starts at $3,000 a month and both start at $5,000.
Count the profiles. Lumos prices by LinkedIn profile, and Cleverly discounts team plans, so the number of senders changes the price.
Ask what you approve before launch. Cleverly's FAQ says your review and approval is always the final step before anything goes live.
Check the minimum term. Built For B2B starts with three months, and Lumos and Leadium run without a long contract. Bavlio's minimum term is 3 months, then month to month. See how much an outbound agency costs.
Compare with a hire. An SDR on your own team is the other option, covered in outbound agency vs hiring an SDR vs an AI SDR tool.
