Ever Outbound vs Smartlead

Choose managed outreach instead of running Smartlead yourself

Smartlead is a cold email sending platform you set up and run yourself.

Ever Outbound is an alternative to Smartlead, not a management add-on for it. We provide and manage your outreach infrastructure, targeting, copy and reply handling as one service.

With any DIY tool, the software is the easy part. The hard part is the list, the copy, deliverability and handling replies. That is months of testing before you know what works, and most people quit before they get there.

Same cost, none of the work

Plans start from $97/mo, billed close to cost. That is roughly what you would pay for the software stack to do it yourself, but you get the quality of a $5K to $10K/mo agency. We are pay-per-close: our 5% success fee is tied to your closed deals, so our goals are aligned with yours, not just sending more emails. Your first 2 closed deals are commission-free. Want to send more? Additional blocks are $197/mo each. You just show up to the calls we book and close the deals.

So the real comparison is not price. It is whether you want to spend the next three months learning outbound, or have a team that has done it for 3,000+ clients do it for you starting now.

Pay-per-close: aligned incentives, unlike a Smartlead subscription

We are pay-per-close. Our success fee is tied to the deals you close, not emails sent or appointments booked, so our goals are aligned with yours: qualified sales conversations that turn into collected revenue. Monthly fees cover infrastructure and tools close to cost. Your first 2 closed deals are commission-free.

A software subscription charges for access. Our success fee rewards the outcome you want: closed business, not just campaign activity.

We start with what is already working

10+ years running outbound and 3,000+ clients served, with live success data coming in every day. Our clients include companies that have worked with the White House, Nestle, Zoom, Dropbox, SFO Airport and Unboxme.

We see live results across our entire client base every day, so your campaigns launch with angles, offers and targeting that are already producing booked calls.
