Appointment-setting agencies
50 agencies in the index offer appointment setting. Ranked by the evidence on record, the first three are Belkins (Dover, US, from $5,000 a month), CIENCE (Denver, US, from $2,499 a month) and EBQ (Houston, US, from $5,000 a month). Appointment-setting agencies book qualified meetings into the client's calendar through any mix of email, LinkedIn and phone. The unit that matters is a held meeting with someone who fits the brief, so agree the definition of a qualified meeting before the first invoice. 13 of the 50 publish a monthly minimum, from $397 to $6,950, with a median of $3,500. 5 offer pay-per-meeting pricing and 1 offers pay-per-lead; the rest work on a retainer or do not say. Besides appointment setting, the services most often offered here are cold calling, cold email and SDR outsourcing. 3 build on Clay, 3 work inside HubSpot and 45 use their own or undisclosed tools. 29 have a Clutch or G2 rating on file with the date it was read. Before signing, ask for a sample sequence, the definition of a qualified meeting and who owns the domains and data afterward.

Questions
- How much does an appointment-setting agency cost?
- 13 of the 50 publish a monthly minimum, from $397 to $6,950, with a median of $3,500. Setup fees and minimum terms vary, so ask for both before comparing monthly prices.
- Retainer or pay-per-meeting?
- A retainer buys an agreed scope each month and suits a defined ICP with at least three months of runway. Pay-per-meeting moves the risk to the agency and suits offers with a short sales cycle. On this page, 5 agencies offer pay-per-meeting pricing and 1 pay-per-lead.
- How long until results?
- New sending domains need two to three weeks of warm-up before volume goes out, and list building runs alongside it. Most agencies quote first meetings in weeks four to eight.
- Does the stack matter?
- 3 of the 50 build on Clay and 3 work inside HubSpot. Ask who owns the sending domains, the data and the workflows when the engagement ends; some agencies hand them over and some keep them.
