Belkins vs SalesRoads (2026): Full Agency Comparison

Belkins vs SalesRoads is one of the more common comparison searches we see from B2B teams evaluating lead generation agencies. Both are established players, both have hundreds of case studies, and both pitch themselves as comprehensive outbound partners. Choosing between them, though, comes down to specifics: how big is your team, what is your ACV, what channels do you need, and how much do you want to own once the engagement ends.

This comparison covers what each company actually does, what they cost, what they are good at, and where they fall short. We will also explain where LeadHaste fits in if you want a third option that operates a bit differently from the traditional agency model.

Quick Overview Of Each Company

[Belkins](https://belkins.io/) is a B2B lead generation agency founded in 2017, headquartered in Delaware with a global team. They run cold email, LinkedIn outreach, appointment setting, and inbound enrichment services. They serve a wide ICP range from SaaS to manufacturing to professional services. As of 2026 they report 1,000+ clients across their history.

[SalesRoads](https://www.salesroads.com/) is an appointment setting and outbound sales agency founded in 2007. They are US-based and emphasize their employee-only (not contractor) model and dedicated SDR teams. They focus on mid-market to enterprise B2B, with deal sizes typically $25K+ ACV. Their service is more phone-led than Belkins.

The two are competing for somewhat different parts of the market, even though both pitch B2B lead generation broadly.

Side-By-Side Comparison

Pricing And Engagement Structure

Belkins typically prices in the $4,000 to $6,000 per month range for an entry-level engagement covering cold email and LinkedIn outreach. Higher-volume packages with appointment setting included can run $7,000 to $12,000 per month. Most engagements have a 3-month minimum. They do not always set up the email infrastructure in the client's name, which becomes a question if you ever want to take the program in-house.

SalesRoads typically prices in the $7,000 to $10,000 per month range, reflecting the higher cost of US-based phone reps. They quote a per-meeting cost in some cases (around $400 to $600 per qualified meeting), and they have a meeting volume guarantee tied to the contract. Engagements typically run 3 to 6 months minimum.

For a team with a $50,000 average annual contract value: - Belkins at $5K/month producing 30 meetings = $167 per meeting - SalesRoads at $8K/month producing 20 meetings = $400 per meeting

The difference reflects the channel mix. Email scales cheaper than phone. Phone closes higher-quality conversations into specific named accounts.

Channel Coverage

Belkins runs the full multi-channel stack: cold email (their primary channel), LinkedIn outreach (connection requests + InMails), and human-led appointment setting. They also offer email signature marketing, content syndication, and inbound lead nurturing as add-on services. The breadth is a feature for some clients (one vendor, many channels) and a bug for others (depth in any one channel can suffer when the agency is doing many things).

SalesRoads is much more focused: phone-based prospecting and appointment setting into named account lists. Email and LinkedIn are supportive, not primary. The depth of phone capability is what they sell, with dedicated SDRs assigned to each account, US-based, with dedicated training and management. If you have a list of 200 named accounts and you want a senior SDR working those accounts persistently, SalesRoads is built for that.

Data And List Building

Both agencies provide list building as part of the engagement, but the methods differ.

Belkins uses a combination of database sources (their own + third-party providers) plus enrichment to build prospect lists. Quality is generally good but variable, depending on the ICP and the campaign manager assigned. They do not always disclose which databases they use.

SalesRoads focuses on named account lists, often provided by the client or built collaboratively. They do less list expansion and more depth-of-account work. The list quality is high because the lists are smaller and more curated.

For a client targeting 5,000 contacts at mid-market manufacturing companies, Belkins is a better fit. For a client targeting 200 specific Fortune 1000 accounts, SalesRoads is.

Reporting And Transparency

Belkins provides weekly reports with metrics on emails sent, opens, replies, and meetings booked. Access to the actual sending tool (Smartlead, Instantly, or similar) varies by engagement. Some clients report not having direct access to their own data.

SalesRoads provides weekly reports plus access to the SDRs and call recordings. The phone-led model requires more transparency by nature, you can listen to actual conversations, hear how reps are positioning, and give feedback.

Where Belkins Wins

- Volume. Belkins ships more emails per dollar than SalesRoads can ship calls per dollar. For high-volume top-of-funnel work, this matters. - Multi-channel. If you want email + LinkedIn running together with a single vendor, Belkins delivers that. - Wider ICP fit. Belkins works with smaller-ACV clients ($1K-$5K) where SalesRoads typically does not. - Lower entry price. Easier to start with at $4K-$6K/month versus $7K-$10K for SalesRoads.

Where SalesRoads Wins

- Phone depth. US-based, employee-only SDRs working named accounts produce a different quality of conversation than email-led outreach. - Higher-ACV fit. For $50K+ ACV deals into specific named accounts, the SalesRoads model lines up well. - Transparency. Call recordings + direct SDR access make the program more legible to the client. - Conversion quality. Meetings booked through phone-led prospecting tend to be better-qualified than email-only meetings.

Where Both Fall Short

Two patterns we hear consistently from clients of both agencies:

1. Infrastructure ownership is unclear. Many B2B teams want to run their own outbound long-term and use an agency for 6-12 months to get started. The agency model often does not align with this, the infrastructure is theirs, the data does not transfer cleanly, and the institutional knowledge stays with them.

2. Ramp time is slow. First meetings typically appear in week 6-8, not week 3-4. For teams with urgent pipeline needs, this is painful.

How LeadHaste Compares

LeadHaste is structured differently from both Belkins and SalesRoads. We are a system orchestrator, not a traditional agency.

You own everything. Domains, mailboxes, sender reputation, warmup history, CRM data, and the operating playbook are all built in your name. If you stop working with us, you take the entire system with you and can run it in-house.

Performance-tied billing. If we miss the agreed targets in any month, billing pauses until we hit them. This is harder to do for a phone-led agency (cost structure is too high to absorb a miss), but it is the heart of how we operate.

Free pilot. Before any monthly engagement, we run a 2-4 week pilot at our cost. You see real meetings before you pay anything. If the pilot does not produce, you owe nothing.

Faster ramp. First meetings typically appear in week 3-4. The infrastructure setup is parallelized, the warmup is started day one, and the sequencing goes live as soon as the mailboxes are ready.

No long contracts. Month to month. Cancel any time. We retain clients on the strength of the results, not the strength of the contract.

How To Decide

If you are weighing Belkins vs SalesRoads:

Pick Belkins if: you want multi-channel coverage at a lower entry price, your ICP is broad, your ACV is in the $5K-$50K range, and you are comfortable with a 3-month commitment.

Pick SalesRoads if: you have a specific named-account list, your ACV is $50K+, you want phone-led prospecting with US-based SDRs, and you can absorb the higher monthly cost.

Pick LeadHaste if: you want to own the system you build, you want results in 3-4 weeks not 6-8, you do not want a contract lock-in, and you want billing tied to actual performance.

For most B2B teams shopping these three options, the deciding factors are ownership, speed to results, and risk tolerance. The agencies have brand and breadth. We have the operating model that fits owner-operators and bootstrapped teams best.
