These are different offers, not a single all-inclusive price for the same campaign. Ask which channels, infrastructure, reply handling and booking work are included in the proposal you receive.
Compare the full bill against the same accepted outcome. We cannot calculate a like-for-like saving from an entry price or a lead fee without the matching deliverables.
Why choose The Revenue Inbox?
Define the booking before the campaign starts.
Our $100 fee buys a booked call with a decision-maker inside your agreed ICP who has agreed to hear the offer. A positive reply alone does not qualify. We agree the targeting and acceptance criteria before outreach begins.
That gives your sales team a clear handoff to assess. Track attendance and sales opportunities separately, because a booking is not an attended meeting or a closed deal.
Choose who handles the sending setup.
Basic has a $0 monthly agency base fee. You buy the domains, mailboxes and tools directly, then share access. Standard is $1,500 per month plus meeting fees; Express is $2,500 per month plus meeting fees. On both managed plans, we buy and manage the infrastructure.
Get a commitment tied to qualified meetings.
Standard and Express include 20 qualified meetings in 30 days from campaign launch, or we work for free. Basic does not include this guarantee. Confirm the qualification rules, acceptance criteria and remedy in your agreement.
Launch on day 3 with Express.
Express uses prewarmed domains and mailboxes. Campaigns go live three calendar days after payment, required inputs and approvals are complete. This is a launch commitment, separate from the 30-day meeting guarantee. A results estimate measured after launch is a different timeline.
Hand over the campaign through to booking.
We handle ICP research, lists, messaging, email and LinkedIn outreach, replies and qualified booking. Your team runs discovery and closes. Choose us when you want that work covered with a visible plan fee and an explicit meeting definition.
Cleverly also offers reply handling and booking through its full-service email option. Confirm which option you are comparing, rather than assuming its service stops at a reply. Cleverly cold email service and plans.
Inspect our work.
These are our own campaign examples. They are not head-to-head tests or claims that these clients switched from Cleverly.
Individual results depend on the market, offer and campaign. Read each case for its scope and time window.
If you are changing agencies.
Before moving a live campaign, check your existing agreement and confirm what you can transfer. We would review the following with you before choosing a launch plan:
- Access and ownership for domains, mailboxes, sending tools and CRM records.
- Suppression lists, opt-outs and existing conversations, so outreach does not restart blindly.
- Lead lists, approved messaging and the qualification rules your sales team uses.
- Sending history and domain health. Existing infrastructure needs review before reuse.
- Responsibility for replies and booked meetings during the handover.
A handover does not automatically qualify for Express. Its three-day clock starts only once payment, required inputs and approvals are complete.
Before you compare the plans.
Does Cleverly also book meetings?
Yes. Its cold email FAQ describes reply handling, qualification and calendar booking through a full-service option. It also offers a separate appointment-setting service. Confirm the scope of the specific proposal.
Is a pay-per-lead fee the same as your meeting fee?
Not automatically. Ask what makes a lead billable and whether booking is included. Our $100 fee applies to a booked call with a decision-maker inside the agreed ICP who has agreed to hear the offer.
Which of your plans includes the guarantee?
Standard and Express include 20 qualified meetings in 30 days from campaign launch, or we work for free. Basic does not include that guarantee. Basic also requires you to pay vendors directly for domains, mailboxes and tools.
When does the Express day-3 clock begin?
Three calendar days after payment, required inputs and approvals are complete. We use prewarmed domains and mailboxes. The meeting-guarantee clock begins separately, when campaigns go live.
