What do managed LinkedIn agencies cost?
Cleverly’s LinkedIn lead generation starts at $397 per month, with full plan tiers not published (checked 2026-08-02 against cleverly.co).

What does pay-per-appointment pricing cost?
LinkyBot runs $2,000 per month plus $200 per booked appointment, capped at $4,000 total, on a 6-month term. A limited five-seat pilot starts at $500 per month, capped at $2,000, on a 3-month minimum. The performance fee only accrues when a meeting lands, so the price moves with the outcome, not the activity. Full terms on the pricing page.
What does an in-house SDR cost?
$55,018 a year in average salary, or $4,584 a month (ZipRecruiter, data as of July 2026), before tools, management time, and ramp. The full decision has its own page: hiring an SDR vs a done-for-you service.
What should a booked meeting cost?
Work it from measured rates, not promises. Across twelve months of tracked LinkyBot campaigns, every 100 connections made produced 2.5 booked sales meetings, and 400 connections a month books roughly 10. At LinkyBot’s published cap, that month costs $4,000, which works out to about $400 per booked meeting at that volume. The rates and methodology live on the benchmarks page.
Cost questions, answered straight
1. Why do prices vary this much?
Because the products differ. Tools sell software you operate. Agencies sell managed activity. Pay-per-appointment services price against booked meetings. An SDR is headcount. Match the price to the work you're actually buying.
2. Is DIY actually cheaper?
The tool is cheaper. The tool plus your hours often isn't. DIY runs $39 to $99 a seat before you add targeting, copy, sending, and reply handling time every week.
3. What does LinkyBot cost?
$2,000 per month plus $200 per booked appointment, capped at $4,000, on a 6-month term. The five-seat pilot starts at $500 per month, capped at $2,000.
