Martal Group alternatives for B2B outbound in 2026
Digital Patron is a B2B cold email and AI SDR agency headquartered in Gurugram, India, that publishes this comparison and is included in it; judge the bias accordingly. Every competitor figure below is from that agency's own site or Clutch profile as of 26 October 2026, with the source linked.
Martal Group sells outsourced SDR teams on a flat monthly fee (plus sales commission on its higher tiers), quoted rather than published, after a three- or four-month pilot. If you want a published price, Digital Patron is $800 a month with a 2-month minimum and no setup fee, CIENCE prices per SDR from $1,750 a month, and Callbox publishes an estimated $16,000 to $32,000 per quarter per pod. Belkins and Cleverly's cold email are quoted, like Martal.
Why teams look for a Martal alternative
- A three- or four-month pilot is a long first commitment for a startup testing outbound.
- Commission on top of a flat fee (Tiers 2 and 3) makes the real cost hard to forecast.
- No published price, so comparison before a sales call is impossible.
- North American team hours and pricing when the buyer is in the UK, India or the Gulf.

How to choose
- 01Separate the model from the price: per-SDR (CIENCE), per-pod (Callbox), per-appointment-plan (Belkins), flat retainer (Digital Patron, Martal Tier 1A).
- 02Ask how long the pilot is and what ends it; a 2-month minimum or month-to-month term is common elsewhere on this list.
- 03Confirm whether commission applies to closed revenue or to meetings; it changes the incentive.
- 04Price the add-ons: tool seats, data credits and LinkedIn are extra at most agencies.
- 05Run a free Rumo lead run first if you want to see the targeting an agency would start from.
Frequently asked questions
Is Martal Group worth it for startups?
Martal's tiers start with a three- or four-month pilot and a quoted flat fee, with commission on the higher tiers, which fits companies with a proven offer and budget for a quarter of outbound. A startup still validating its ideal customer usually does better with a shorter commitment and a published price, such as Digital Patron's $800 a month with a 2-month minimum.
What is a cheaper alternative to Martal?
Martal does not publish a price, so 'cheaper' can only be judged against published alternatives: Digital Patron at $800 a month with no setup fee, Cleverly's LinkedIn plans from $397 a month, and CIENCE's offshore SDRs from $1,750 per SDR per month. Callbox publishes $16,000 to $32,000 per quarter per pod.
Which outbound agencies work from India for US clients?
Digital Patron runs cold email and AI SDR outbound from Gurugram and Mohali, India, for US, UK, India and UAE clients at $800 a month, 2-month minimum, no setup fee. CIENCE and Callbox also offer offshore SDR teams, priced per SDR or per pod.
