Best Outbound Agencies for Series A SaaS Companies (2026)

Facts checked November 9, 2026.

Say you're Dan. You just closed your Series A, the new pipeline target is in the board deck, and you still book most sales meetings yourself. There's no SDR team yet.

So you look for an outbound agency, and most lists you find were written by agencies or sales software companies.

This one was too. I run Cymate, an outbound agency, so we're on this list and we put ourselves first. For the other seven, every fact comes from the agency's own site or its Clutch profile.

Your biggest risk at this stage is signing up for months before you know outbound works. So for each agency, you'll see the stage it says it serves, its published price and its minimum term, side by side.

For the full list across every use case, see our list of the top outbound agencies for B2B tech.

What should a Series A SaaS company look for in an outbound agency?

Look for four things: a stated fit with your stage, a commitment you can live with, a price you can compare, and proof with a timeframe.

1. A stated fit with your stage: check who the agency's site says it's built for. Few name a funding stage, so ask.

2. How long you're committed: month to month, a 3-month start or a term you agree on a call.

3. A price you can compare. Agencies price per month, per SDR or per 4-week cycle, so ask for one monthly total.

4. Proof from software companies, with a timeframe. "We booked 100 meetings" means little until you know if it took 2 months or 2 years.

A rebuilt campaign can work fast. Korl, an early-stage software company, used tools like Apollo for over four months and couldn't get responses. Korl's case study shows what came after we fixed its email setup: 3 meetings in the new campaign's first week, and 4 new clients within a few weeks.

There's a limit: an agency can't fix an offer that doesn't sell yet. We rank what drives outbound results in this order: offer, positioning, copy, data, then infrastructure (the domains and inboxes you send from). Infrastructure comes last because anyone can buy it.

Which outbound agencies are best for Series A SaaS companies?

Eight outbound agencies made our list for Series A SaaS companies: Cymate, Frontal, Understory, Belkins, Martal Group, Leadium, CIENCE and SalesRoads.

Checked November 9, 2026, on each agency's own site. Cymate is first because this is our list, and the other seven aren't ranked.

How did we pick these 8 outbound agencies?

This is Cymate's list, and we're one of the agencies on it. To keep it fair, every agency had to pass the same five checks:

1. It serves B2B software or SaaS companies, and its own site shows it.

2. Outbound is a core service, and it does the work for you.

3. It shows proof: case studies with numbers, or Clutch reviews.

4. It's active in 2026, with a live site, current pricing or a 2026 Clutch review.

5. A Series A company running outbound for the first time could buy it: it names a stage, publishes a price, or offers a month-to-month or pilot term.

We left out agencies built mainly for solo founders or very small budgets, plus call centers, recruiting firms and software you run yourself. "Not public" means we couldn't find it on the agency's own site on November 9, 2026.

memoryBlue, which acquired Operatix in 2023, isn't here because it's in our list of the best outbound agencies for enterprise deals.

No agency paid to be on this list. We re-check every entry every 90 days, or sooner if an agency changes its price or terms. If something here is wrong, email admin@cymate.io and we'll fix it.

Which agencies made the list, and what is each best for?

The eight differ most on channels, price and term.

1. Cymate: best for email-led outbound, month to month

Cymate (that's us) runs email-led outbound for funded B2B tech companies. We build lead lists from buying signals like hiring, new funding and leadership changes.

• Based in: the Bay Area; founded in 2022

• Stage fit: our site says Cymate is "designed for B2B tech startups and growing companies with a validated offer." We work with funded companies (Series A and up) or profitable bootstrapped ones.

• Channels: cold email, plus LinkedIn outreach

• Price (checked November 9, 2026): not public; a flat monthly fee, quoted on a call

• Minimum term: month to month

• Reviews: no Clutch profile; 30 published case studies

Proof: Copybara had no cold outbound pipeline before us. Copybara's case study shows $500K+ in qualified pipeline and 15+ enterprise meetings a month within 6 months. StoryIt booked 7 sales meetings with $20M-$100M brands in less than 2 weeks.

Strengths: each account gets its own strategist, GTM (go-to-market) engineer, campaign manager, SDR and copywriter. Our homepage FAQ explains the trial: "You work with our team for 7 days. If you don't like how we work, you get your money back in full."

Considerations: we're email-led, so we're not the pick if you want cold calling, and our price isn't public. Setup takes about 21 days. If your offer hasn't sold yet, we're the wrong pick.

Pick someone else if you need cold callers, paid media from the same team, or SDRs you add by headcount.

2. Frontal: best for Clay-based GTM work from Series A onward

Frontal, formerly ColdIQ Agency, builds and runs workflows in Clay, a lead-data tool, "for research, enrichment and outreach." It also runs account-based marketing (ABM), paid media, content and RevOps (revenue operations).

• Based in: Cheyenne, Wyoming, per Clutch; renamed in 2026 ("same operators, new name")

• Stage fit: "We work with B2B tech companies from Series A onward, with a real sales team."

• Channels: outbound, ABM account campaigns, paid media (LinkedIn and search ads), content

• Price (checked November 9, 2026): not public; "we set it on the call, not from a rate card"

• Minimum term: "We start with a three-month engagement."

• Reviews: Clutch 5.0 (16 reviews), latest review October 20, 2026

Proof: its site shows "$7.83M qualified pipeline from ads + outbound" in 10 months for AirOps. For Playbook, it lists "20 opportunities in the first 20 days."

Strengths: it's the one agency on this list whose site names Series A as its starting point. One team covers outbound, ABM, paid media and RevOps.

Considerations: you commit to three months up front, and the price depends on the services in scope. Its fit line asks for "a real sales team," so check whether a founder-led team counts.

Pick Frontal over Cymate if you already have a sales team and want Clay-based outbound, ABM and paid media from one team.

3. Understory: best for outbound and paid media from one team

Understory calls itself an "allbound" B2B growth agency. Its four services are paid media, GTM engineering, LinkedIn content and RevOps, run as one team.

• Based in: Miami, Florida; founded in 2021

• Stage fit: "Designed for growth-stage and enterprise B2B SaaS companies." Its best fit "already has a marketing or sales team."

• Channels: cold email, LinkedIn outreach, paid media

• Price (checked November 9, 2026): not public; "custom flat retainers for each service"

• Minimum term: not listed on its site

• Reviews: no Clutch reviews yet

Proof: its case studies show FullPAC with "nearly $10M in outbound pipeline from under $60K in spend" and about 75 meetings in the first 3 months. For hapily, it lists "39 deals, 5 closed won and ROI positive on outbound by month five."

Strengths: outbound and paid media from one team, with RevOps behind both, and launch times up front: cold email in "about 3 to 4 weeks."

Considerations: the price and minimum term aren't on its site, so get both in writing before you sign.

Pick Understory over Cymate if you want paid media and outbound run by one team, and you already have a marketing or sales team.

4. Belkins: best for multichannel outbound with a yearly appointment target

Belkins is a B2B lead generation agency that books appointments across email, phone, LinkedIn and paid ads. It sells monthly retainers built around a yearly number of appointments.

• Based in: Denver, Colorado, per Clutch; founded in 2017

• Stage fit: names no funding stage. It has a startup page, and a "For small business" plan "delivered through partnering agencies from the Belkins ecosystem."

• Channels: cold email, cold and intent calling, voicemail, LinkedIn, SMS and WhatsApp, paid ads

• Price (checked November 9, 2026): "The average starter price: from $5,000" for cold email

• Minimum term: not on its pricing page

• Reviews: Clutch 4.9 (234 reviews), latest review July 27, 2026

Proof: its startup page shows Talkatoo with 87 appointments booked in 8 months, and Grafi with 80+ confirmed appointments in 7 months.

Strengths: the plans put a number on the work. Growth includes 100+ appointments a year and Growth Plus 200+, and the cold email page lists "100+ guaranteed appts/year." Belkins also has the most Clutch reviews of the eight.

Considerations: the term isn't on its pricing page, so ask for it in writing. If you look at the small-business plan, ask which partner agency would run your campaigns.

Pick Belkins over Cymate if you want calling in the mix and a yearly appointment target written into the plan.

5. Martal Group: best for onshore reps across email, LinkedIn and phone

Martal Group provides outsourced sales reps who run outbound by email, LinkedIn and phone. Its site says it has 200+ onshore sales executives, about 60% of them in the US and 20% in Canada.

• Based in: Oakville, Canada, per Clutch; founded in 2009

• Stage fit: names no funding stage. Its site says it works with companies "from startups to Fortune 500 companies."

• Channels: cold email, LinkedIn, phone calls

• Price (checked November 9, 2026): a "flat fee per month" for its outbound tier, amount not public; its sales tiers add a commission (pricing page)

• Minimum term: a "3 Month Pilot Campaign," then a "Monthly Subscription." The sales tiers start with a 4-month pilot.

• Reviews: Clutch 4.8 (110 reviews), latest review November 2, 2026

Proof: its case studies name clients. Martal reports 21 qualified leads a month for Jedox, a financial software company, and 15 a month for DeepHow, a 30-person AI training platform.

Strengths: a set test period of 3 months, then monthly, so you know the commitment before you sign. One team covers email, LinkedIn and calls.

Considerations: the fee isn't public, and you commit to the full pilot before the monthly plan starts.

Pick Martal Group over Cymate if you want onshore reps who call as well as email, with a set pilot before a monthly plan.

6. Leadium: best for month-to-month appointment setting with SMS and gifting

Leadium runs appointment-setting campaigns across "email, phone, LinkedIn, SMS & gifting." Its industry menu includes SaaS, and it also runs event outbound.

• Based in: Las Vegas, Nevada, per Clutch; founded in 2016

• Stage fit: names no funding stage; its company-size menu includes Startups, SMBs and Enterprise

• Channels: email, phone, LinkedIn, SMS, gifting

• Price (checked November 9, 2026): not public

• Minimum term: "all of our contracts are month-to-month" (pricing page)

• Reviews: Clutch 5.0 (90 reviews), latest review October 23, 2026

Proof: its case studies show Mindtickle with a "200% increase in quota attainment" and Mitek with a 4x "increase in leads per quarter."

Strengths: its pricing page says all contracts are month to month because Leadium believes in "consistently proving our customers' value." Appointment setting launches in 7-10 days, and SMS and gifting add ways to reach a buyer beyond email and phone.

Considerations: the price isn't public, so ask for a written quote and a start date.

Pick Leadium over Cymate if you want calling, SMS and gifting in the mix on month-to-month terms.

7. CIENCE: best for adding managed SDRs by headcount

CIENCE books meetings with managed SDRs. Each SDR "calls, emails, and messages your buyers every working day," per its pricing page. CIENCE is part of the graph8 group, and its SDRs work in the graph8 platform.

• Based in: Miami, Florida; founded in 2016, both per its own site

• Stage fit: names no funding stage; its site lists clients "from startup to enterprise"

• Channels: calls, email, LinkedIn

• Price (checked November 9, 2026): $2,000 a month for the campaign team and $499 for the graph8 platform. SDRs start at $1,750 (offshore) or $3,500 (US and Europe) each a month. A one-time setup fee and a bonus when an SDR hits its held-meeting target come on top (pricing page).

• Minimum term: "Month to month, no long contract."

• Reviews: Clutch 4.2 (142 reviews), latest review September 20, 2024

Proof: its site shows "227 appointments in 4 months" for SendBird and "110 qualified meetings in 6 months" for Mandolin.

Strengths: the most detailed published price list here. By our math, the team, the platform and one offshore SDR come to $4,249 a month, or $5,999 with one US or Europe SDR, before setup and bonus. Its pricing page says you're "live in less than 14 days."

Considerations: the cost grows with each SDR. Its own example puts five offshore SDRs at $11,249 a month, plus bonus. The setup fee isn't listed, so ask for it.

Pick CIENCE over Cymate if you want to add or remove SDRs month to month at a published price.

8. SalesRoads: best for phone-first outbound after product-market fit

SalesRoads runs outsourced SDR programs for B2B companies. Its "dedicated SDRs call and email decision makers until they get a real conversation."

• Based in: Boca Raton, Florida, per Clutch; founded in 2007

• Stage fit: its pricing page says appointment setting is "typically the right fit" if "you have proven product-market fit." Lead generation fits if "you're entering a new market or testing product-market fit."

• Channels: phone calls, email

• Price (checked November 9, 2026): "$11,950 per 4-week period" for one SDR, and $16,750 for two (pricing page)

• Minimum term: "No long-term commitment. Cancel anytime."

• Reviews: Clutch 4.9 (69 reviews), latest review September 17, 2026

Proof: its client results show "$1.25mm pipeline generated in 15 weeks" for Layfield and "$27M Total Pipeline Generated" for AchieveIt.

Strengths: a published price for each team size, and a plain test on its pricing page for which service fits your stage. A dedicated SDR team "launches in 15 business days from the kickoff call."

Considerations: billing runs in 4-week periods, which comes to 13 a year, so convert it before you compare it with monthly prices.

Pick SalesRoads over Cymate if your buyers answer the phone and you've proven product-market fit.

Which outbound agency fits my situation?

Start with how much you're willing to commit, then narrow by channel. Most of these rows point somewhere other than us.

How much does an outbound agency cost for a Series A company?

Three of the eight publish a price, and each prices a different unit. The other five quote on a call, including us: ours is a flat monthly fee.

Prices were checked on November 9, 2026. To compare, divide each all-in monthly total, setup fees and bonuses included, by the qualified meetings the agency expects to book.

Ask about volume, too. Our own outbound sends about 40,000 to 50,000 emails a month from about 200 inboxes and books 80 to 100 meetings, roughly 500 emails per meeting. If an email-led pitch promises far more meetings from far fewer emails, ask how.

Should a Series A company hire an SDR or an outbound agency?

Hire an SDR once a new rep has a playbook to follow. Forum Ventures, a venture firm, says to hire one only "when you have a repeatable process for generating leads outside of your team's network."

If your founders still book most meetings through people they know, you don't have that process yet. An agency lets you test the channel first, without adding headcount.

One of our clients, Woven, had let go of five of its six SDRs before it worked with us. We built it a lead funnel with AI and Clay, and Woven's case study reports $115,500 in monthly pipeline revenue.

For the cost per meeting of each option, see in-house SDR vs outbound agency.

What should you have ready before you hire an outbound agency?

An agency can't make these for you, so have them ready before kickoff:

• A written ideal customer profile (ICP): industry, company size, revenue and the job titles you sell to.

• An offer that has already sold, written in a sentence or two.

• Access to your booking calendar and CRM, so meetings land in the right place.

• Someone who takes the meetings and follows up.

• A written definition of a qualified meeting.

Then plan for a few weeks of setup. Ours takes about 21 days. New inboxes need at least 3 weeks of warm-up, a slow ramp that builds trust with email providers, before they send cold email.

What should you ask before you sign?

Ask every agency on your shortlist three things, including us, and get the answers in writing.

1. A written definition of a qualified meeting. Ours: the lead matches the targeting we agreed on, meaning industry, company size, revenue and role. Budget, authority, need and timing are for your team to judge on the call.

2. Who owns the domains, inboxes and lead data if you leave. New domains need weeks of warm-up, so losing them sets your next team back. With us, you keep the domains, inboxes, lead data and copy.

3. The minimum term, and how you get out. It caps what you risk before you know the channel works. Ours is month to month.

The bottom line

If you're a funded software company that wants email-led outbound on a month-to-month term, that's what Cymate's outreach management service does. If you need callers, start with SalesRoads or one of the multichannel teams. Look at Understory or Frontal for paid media from the same team, and at Belkins for a yearly appointment target.

Whoever you pick, write down your offer and ideal customer first, then get the meeting definition, ownership and term in writing. If you'd like to see whether we're a fit, you can Run a Trial, which starts with a 25-minute intro call.
