Belkins' pricing page shows no price; its own blog gives a $5,000 a month floor. What the figures cost per held meeting, and the alternatives by model.

By Moe Alhosni · Published 13 October 2026 · Updated 27 October 2026 · 14 min read

Short answer: Belkins' pricing page shows no price, but its own blog now gives a floor: a retainer "From $5,000/month", a "pay-per-appointment plan starting from $750/meeting" and a "Six-month agreement with a three-month checkpoint" (belkins.io, 20 October 2026). Third parties put the top of the retainer at $14,800 or more. Set those against Belkins' "100 to 400 appointments a year" and a held meeting works out between roughly $550 and $1,900, most scenarios near $750.

How this page was made. Written by Moe Alhosni, who runs ROI Maximizer, a pay-per-meeting agency that competes with Belkins. Belkins figures come from its own site, a founder podcast, G2, Clutch, TrustRadius and third-party write-ups, each linked and checked on 13 October 2026; Belkins' own figures rechecked on 26 October 2026. Third-party figures are labelled. The alternatives are grouped by pricing model, not ranked. We say below when Belkins is the better choice.

Where a number has no source, I say so instead of repeating it.

Belkins pricing at a glance

Each row is unpacked below, with the sums that turn it into a cost per held meeting.

First, the wrong Belkins

At least one of the page-one results for "Belkins pricing" is not about the agency. SaaSworthy lists a "Belkins" under "Lead Generation Software" with a PRO plan at "$299.00 per month" and a free tier. The page's own disclaimer says "the pricing details were last updated on 20/05/2020 from the vendor website and may be different from actual." That is a software listing, six years stale. Any page quoting $299 a month for Belkins is describing this listing, not the agency. Belkins' own pricing page lists no number at all.

What Belkins actually publishes

As of October 2026, belkins.io/pricing shows four packages sized by yearly appointments: Growth ("100+"), Growth Plus ("200+", marked "Best value"), For small business ("30+", "delivered through partnering agencies from the Belkins ecosystem") and Enterprise ("Custom SLAs and contract terms tailored to enterprise procurement"). Price shown for each: none. The instruction is "Talk to our expert to find out what pricing plan suits you more."

Two phrases on that page matter more than the tier names. The packages are "monthly retainer packages", and the only dollar figure is a savings claim: "Save up to $10,000 annually on premium lead generation and marketing tools included in our retainer." So, in Belkins' own words, it is a retainer. Every package includes "appointment scheduling and no-show recovery", which tells you no-shows happen and are handled, not credited.

The founder says the same. On episode 685 of the Impact Pricing podcast, published 28 April 2025 and checked as of October 2026, Belkins founder Vladyslav Podoliako said "we charging our clients on retainer model" (as transcribed). He said the contract is per company, not per user, and that the price is tied to the number of sales-qualified leads, or SQLs, Belkins generates for the client. His example was a client paying about $10,000 a month, $120,000 a year, with Belkins aiming to return at least three times that. It is an illustration, not a price list, and it sits inside the third-party range below.

Two other Belkins pages say more than the pricing page. Its comparison with Callbox, published 20 October 2026, gives a "Published starting cost" of "From $5,000/month", a "pay-per-appointment plan starting from $750/meeting" and a "Six-month agreement with a three-month checkpoint". It does not say whether the $750 buys a booked meeting or a held one. And in A framework for high-quality pay-per-appointment lead generation, updated 19 February 2026, Podoliako writes: "A high-quality PPA agency might charge $600–$900 per qualified meeting." The same guide calls Belkins a retainer model and refers to "the $10K/month 'floor' of a full-service retainer", the figure in his podcast example and twice the floor on the comparison page.

The homepage adds the volume claim ("We deliver 100–400+ qualified appointments in a year"), the timeline ("We set up and launch your campaign in the first 14 days", then "Within the next 30 days, you'll start seeing the first appointments"), and a footnoted average of "200 sales-qualified meetings" and "10-30 closed deals" a year. The footnote: "The results depend on multiple factors."

And note the small-business tier is fulfilled by partner agencies. If you are the small business, you are buying a reseller arrangement from a brand whose directory reviews say nothing about which partner will run your account.

On the review sites, same picture. As of October 2026, G2's Belkins pricing page lists three editions, Growth, Growth Plus and Enterprise. Every one is priced "Contact Us". G2's reviews page rates Belkins 4.7 out of 5 from 95 reviews (90 five-star, one four-star, four one-star). Clutch gives 4.9 from 234 reviews, a minimum project size of "$1,000+", and a most-common project band of $10,000 to $49,000 covering 175 of those reviews. TrustRadius scores it 9.4 out of 10 from 18 ratings.

The circulating figures, and where each one came from

Apart from Belkins' own floor, every retainer number you will find is from an agency writing about a competitor. Here they are, dated.

Salesforge says it plainly: "Every figure above is a third-party estimate. Belkins has not confirmed any of them publicly." Since 20 October 2026 Belkins has confirmed one of them: the $5,000 floor. Salesforge also attributes "around $5,500 per month for 10+ meetings" to Belkins' Clutch profile; I read that profile and did not find that sentence. The $14,800 ceiling appears in four of the five sources with the same odd precision, which usually means one copied another. The one figure all five share is $5,000 as the start of the full-service range. The per-appointment add-on is the shakiest piece: one source says $150, two say $300 to $800, Belkins' own pricing page does not mention one, and its comparison page prices a separate pay-per-appointment plan instead.

Turning that into a cost per held meeting

Retainer times months, divided by appointments booked, divided by the share that turn up. It is the appointment setting cost per meeting sum, run on Belkins' own volumes. Belkins gives you the denominator: Growth is 100 a year, so eight or nine a month; Growth Plus is 200, about 17 a month. Nobody publishes a show rate. The 80 percent column below is my assumption (one in five no-shows), not a Belkins figure.

At the top of Belkins' own range, 400 appointments on $14,800 a month, the same sums give $444 booked and $555 held. So the honest band is $555 to $1,910 per held meeting, with a cluster near $750. The $5,000 floor is now Belkins' own figure; every row priced above it rests on a third-party estimate.

The minimum term is the part the tables hide. A six-month agreement at the $5,000 floor is $30,000; at $14,800 it is $88,800. Belkins' page does not say whether its three-month checkpoint lets you leave after a slow first quarter, so ask.

What the reviews say when it goes wrong

The ratings are high: on G2, 90 of 95 reviews are five-star. The point is not that Belkins is bad. The point is what the contract shape does on the bad months, and the one-star reviews are all about that.

A verified mid-market user in IT services wrote on G2 on 23 July 2026, rating 0 out of 5: "they have had 0 leads / appointments in 2 months, we will be breaking the contract and dropping them, follow up seems to be slow and non-existent. They take over 2 weeks to make any tweaks or execute on a new campaign."

A verified small-business user in consulting wrote on G2 on 20 March 2024: "After four months - we had literally not one lead, not one phone call, not one opportunity. They refused to entertain any kind of discount or refund". The same review ends by saying a "$99/month generic AI solution would bring better results", a claim I have written about elsewhere.

A C-level executive in engineering wrote on TrustRadius on 26 March 2024, rating 1 out of 10: "they promised us to send x amount of leads every month. They delivered nothing and if we want to get the leads they promised we had to pay again."

On Clutch, a CMO at a software company wrote on 30 April 2024: "In the first three months the target goal was not achieved, so we received a free month."

Read those together. The remedy for a miss ranges from a free month to "we had to pay again". In no case was the client billed only for what arrived. That is what a retainer means, and Belkins is not unusual in it.

The good reviews are specific, which is to their credit. A head of mobile user acquisition wrote on G2 on 1 December 2025 that Belkins delivered "78 quality meetings with C-level and VP-level leaders within six months" and "6 closed deals worth around 9,000k each" (as written). A verified small-business user in marketing wrote on G2 on 4 November 2025: "In five months, they booked 22 qualified appointments, and we already closed 3 deals from them with an average deal size of $8K."

Do the arithmetic on that second one. Twenty-two appointments in five months is 4.4 a month, about half the Growth tier's rate. At the $5,000 floor that is $25,000 for 22 booked, or $1,136 each. Three deals at $8,000 is $24,000 in revenue. The reviewer is happy, and at Belkins' published floor the engagement roughly broke even before their own time. That is not a criticism of the work. It is why deal size, not the agency, decides the pricing model.

Belkins pros and cons

Pros

• High ratings everywhere it is listed: 4.7 out of 5 from 95 reviews on G2 and 9.4 out of 10 from 18 ratings on TrustRadius (as cited above), and 4.9 from 234 reviews on Clutch (rechecked 25 October 2026).
• A fast start by its own account: "We set up and launch your campaign in the first 14 days".
• Calling, LinkedIn and email run together by one large team, which suits a buyer who answers the phone.
• Contract terms for enterprise procurement on request.

Cons

• No price on the pricing page. Belkins' blog gives only floors ("From $5,000/month"; pay per appointment "starting from $750/meeting"); the top of the range comes from third parties.
• A "Six-month agreement with a three-month checkpoint", in Belkins' own words (20 October 2026).
• No consistent remedy for a zero month: reviewers report a free month, "we had to pay again" and a refused refund.
• The small-business tier ("30+" appointments a year) is "delivered through partnering agencies from the Belkins ecosystem", so you may not know who runs your account.

The contrast: PR Noir

PR Noir is a New York PR agency. In the first 45 days we delivered 27 leads and 10 meetings, a 37 percent lead-to-meeting rate, and one of those meetings closed at $90,000. The full breakdown is in how PR Noir got 27 leads, 10 meetings and a $90K deal.

Our per-meeting price is not a single number. The right fee for an agency selling $90,000 PR retainers is not the right fee for a SaaS company selling $6,000 licences. Our published terms are a one-off setup fee of $1,000 to $3,000, then $200 to $500 per qualified meeting, or a flat $5,000 a month with no per-meeting fee; where you sit in each range is confirmed on the call once we have seen your deal size, and the ROI calculator will tell you, before that call, the most you should agree to pay for a meeting at your numbers.

One more thing the "100 to 400 appointments" framing hides. Read in full, 1,364 positive replies to our own campaigns between August 2025 and July 2026 (counted per reply, not per person) show only half asking for a call, and 15 percent asking the price. A positive reply is not a meeting, and an "appointment" is not a held meeting. The only unit worth paying for is the one where the right person turned up, and the definition of that belongs in the contract before anyone sends an email.

Belkins alternatives, sorted by pricing model

Every other "Belkins alternatives" page is a vendor ranking itself first. This list is sorted by what you are actually choosing between: who carries the risk of a bad month. Prices are what each vendor publishes, checked on 13 October 2026; Belkins, CIENCE and SalesHive rechecked on 26 October 2026. Whichever bucket you pick, run the agency through this checklist before you sign.

Retainer: you pay monthly, results are best effort

This is the right model when you want a team on your account regardless of what the market does that month, and you can afford that. Two of them, row by row: Belkins vs SalesHive.

Hybrid: a retainer plus a fee per meeting

Hybrid is a retainer with a bonus for the agency. You still pay in a zero month. Treat the per-meeting line as a surcharge, not as risk-sharing, and ask what the retainer buys if no meeting is ever booked.

Pure pay-per-meeting: no retainer, a zero month is a zero invoice

We also offer a flat $5,000 a month with no per-meeting fee. That one is a retainer, so on that plan a zero month costs $5,000.

Two warnings about this bucket, including about us. First, "pay per meeting" often means per booked meeting; a booked meeting that no-shows is a charge for nothing, so ask which it is. Second, the agency now controls the definition of "qualified", so get it in writing before outreach starts. Pay per meeting vs retainer covers both traps.

When Belkins is the better pick

I would send you to Belkins, or somewhere like it, in four situations.

Your deal is worth $25,000 or more and the cycle is long. At that size, $750 to $1,100 per held meeting is cheap and 100 a year is the volume you want. The reviewer with 78 meetings and six closed deals was in the right place.

You want calling, LinkedIn and email run together by a big team. An enterprise G2 reviewer in September 2026 praised "a multi-faceted approach with LinkedIn, phone, and email". We are email-led. If your buyer only answers the phone, that matters more than the pricing model.

You have enterprise procurement. Belkins offers "Custom SLAs and contract terms tailored to enterprise procurement", has traded since 2017, and has 95 G2 and 234 Clutch reviews. We have no directory reviews, which you should hold against us.

You can absorb a slow quarter. Belkins' own timeline is 14 days to launch and first appointments "within the next 30 days". If a three-month ramp on a six-month commitment does not frighten you, the retainer is not a problem.

When it is the wrong pick: deal size under $10,000, budget under $5,000 a month, no appetite for a minimum term, or meetings needed in month one. Those buyers write the one-star reviews, and the fault is the fit, not the agency.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Belkins cost per month?

From $5,000 a month, by Belkins' own comparison page of 20 October 2026, though its pricing page and G2 still tell you to contact them. Third-party estimates put the top of the full-service range at $14,800 or more a month, and Belkins has not confirmed that ceiling. The founder's podcast example, a client paying about $10,000 a month, sits inside that range and is an illustration, not a price list.

Does Belkins charge a retainer or per meeting?

Mostly a monthly retainer: its pricing page calls the packages "monthly retainer packages", and the founder has said the retainer is priced per company around the number of sales-qualified leads generated. Belkins' comparison page of 20 October 2026 also lists a "pay-per-appointment plan starting from $750/meeting", without saying whether a booked or a held meeting is billed. Some third-party reviews add a per-appointment fee of $150 or $300 to $800 on top of the retainer. Its CEO's February 2026 guide to pay-per-appointment also calls Belkins a retainer model, and says paying per appointment suits a buyer who needs three to five high-value conversations a month.

Does Belkins have a minimum contract?

Yes. Belkins' comparison page of 20 October 2026 lists a "Six-month agreement with a three-month checkpoint"; four of the five third-party sources above had reported three to six months. At six months and the $5,000 floor, that is $30,000, unless the checkpoint lets you leave at month three; Belkins does not say. The Enterprise tier offers custom contract terms, so get the term and what the checkpoint allows in writing before you sign.

What does a Belkins meeting cost?

Roughly $555 to $1,910 per held meeting, with most scenarios landing near $750. That comes from running Belkins' $5,000 floor and the third-party retainer estimates against Belkins' own volume of 100 to 400 appointments a year, assuming four in five meetings actually happen. Belkins publishes no show rate, so every one of those numbers is an estimate. Its separate pay-per-appointment plan starts "from $750/meeting", without saying whether a booked or a held meeting is billed.

Is Belkins the same as Belkin?

No. Belkins is a B2B appointment-setting agency at belkins.io, and Belkin, without the s, is the consumer electronics accessories brand whose product price pages turn up in the same searches. Belkins' founder has said on a podcast that the mix-up is common enough for prospects to call asking whether they sell iPhones. The 2020 SaaSworthy software listing at $299 a month is not the agency either.

Before you sign with anyone

Get three things in writing from Belkins, from us, or from anyone else:

1. The qualification definition. Titles, company size, budget authority, and what the prospect said that made the meeting count.
2. No-show terms. Replaced, credited, or charged.
3. What happens in a zero-meeting month. A free month, a credit, a reduced fee, or nothing. Belkins' reviewers reported a free month, "we had to pay again" and "refused to entertain any kind of discount or refund" as three different answers to that one question, which is why it goes in the contract.

A qualified meeting is defined at /blog/what-counts-as-a-qualified-meeting. Before you agree to any price per meeting, run your deal size and close rate through the ROI calculator to find the most you should pay for one.
