Digital Patron's appointment setting is sold as a monthly plan, never per meeting. Pricing starts at $800 a month ($800+), scoped to your sending volume, channels and markets; the exact scope and price come in a written proposal after a 30-minute call. LinkedIn on your own Sales Navigator seat is available as an add-on. Infrastructure setup is included. We don't sell per-meeting pricing, revenue share or meeting guarantees.
Appointment setting fits a B2B company with a clear ICP, someone who can run a discovery call, and a deal size that justifies the conversation. Most of the companies we run outbound for are IT consultancies, SaaS startups and staffing and recruiting firms, many of them selling from India into the US, the UK or the UAE, or selling to Indian buyers from abroad. We run the whole path from target list to confirmed slot from Gurugram, India.
We do not rent out human SDRs. AI agents do the high-volume work (list building, first touches, follow-ups and reply sorting) and our team checks every reply the system marks as interested before a meeting is offered. It is the same engine behind our cold email outreach and AI SDR services, sold here with the booked meeting as the thing you are paying for. If you are weighing us against hiring, the outsourced SDR page has the 2026 cost comparison.
Sector playbooks differ, so we keep separate pages for IT services lead generation and staffing and recruitment lead generation. Selling into a specific market? We book meetings inside CAN-SPAM for US buyers, within PECR and UK GDPR for UK buyers, and in Gulf business hours for Dubai and the UAE.
It is not a fit if you sell to multi-stakeholder enterprise committees over nine-month cycles, if every outbound line needs compliance sign-off, or if you are a founder whose own voice is the product. We say so on the first call.

Monthly plan agreedPlans are flat monthly fees billed in USD; Indian clients are invoiced in INR with GST. We don't sell per-meeting pricing, revenue share or meeting guarantees, because a per-meeting fee rewards the vendor for booking anyone who says yes rather than the buyer you defined. Infrastructure setup is included in every plan. Tool seats (Instantly or Smartlead) and data credits (Apollo) are additional.

For context, 2026 pricing guides from US appointment-setting firms put retainers at roughly $3,000–$15,000 a month and pay-per-meeting at about $300–$600 per meeting. All our prices are on the pricing page; the managed AI Outreach Engine is described in full on the AI SDR page. How we set these numbers: how to price cold email services.
Yes. That is what a B2B appointment setting agency does, and it is what we sell. Digital Patron (Gurugram, founded 2022) charges from $800 a month ($800+), scoped to your sending volume, channels and markets. For that we build the target list, set up separate sending domains, write and send the cold email and LinkedIn sequences, read every reply, and book the interested prospects into open slots on your calendar with a short brief attached. Your team takes the call.
What we do not sell is pay-per-meeting. A per-meeting fee pays the vendor for every person who agrees to fifteen minutes, whether or not they could ever buy, so calendars fill with calls that go nowhere. On a flat retainer we are paid to book meetings that pass the qualified-meeting rules we write down with you in week one (next section). The honest version of "every week": first sends go out in week three and first meetings usually arrive between weeks three and six. After that we plan on a steady weekly flow, but the number depends on your offer, list and market, so any range we quote is a planning range, not a guarantee.
What we publish instead of client results: a 1.33% bounce rate on live campaigns (measured Nov 2026), 100,000+ emails sent a week across client campaigns, and a day 0–41 plan that ends with a written forecast. Our Clutch profile has reviews written by clients, not by us.
Last verified: 1 November 2026. Pay-per-meeting figures you may see on our blog are market ranges from other agencies, not a Digital Patron offer.
Appointment setting vendors do not share one definition of a qualified meeting. Some count anyone who agrees to fifteen minutes. Before launch we write down what qualified means for your business, and every booking has to clear all four tests below before it counts in the weekly report.
Most of our clients book meetings from India into another market, so every campaign has to satisfy the buyer's rules, not ours. The summary below is how we operate under each regime; it is not legal advice.

The outsourced SDR page has the fuller 2026 cost comparison for India and the US.
| In-house SDR team | Digital Patron | |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly cost | Salary, benefits, manager time, tools and data per rep | Plans from $800/month ($800+), scoped to volume, channels and markets |
| Time to launch | Hiring plus ramp, usually months | Launch on day 20 of the day 0–41 plan |
| Hours covered | Office hours in one time zone | Sends and replies scheduled to the buyer's business hours; our team works IST |
| Who does the work | Human SDRs you hire, coach and replace | AI agents plus our team; we do not place human SDRs |
| Who closes | Your AEs | Your AEs. We book the meeting; we do not run your discovery or close |
If in-house wins for you (large buying committees, one person owning the relationship), we say so on the call.
US B2B teams hire us from India for the same reason they hire any appointment setting agency: more qualified first meetings without adding SDR headcount. Pricing in 2026 starts at $800 a month ($800+), with no pay-per-meeting option and no meeting guarantees.
Meetings are booked in your US time zone onto your calendar, after a human reads every qualified reply. For an outside view, our reviews page links our Clutch profile.
Selling security to a CISO is harder than most B2B outbound. Security leaders get more vendor email than almost anyone, they distrust fear-led pitches, and many will not take a first call without a peer reference. So we change three things for a cybersecurity campaign. Targeting: we go below the CISO as well as at it, to the head of security operations, IT director or infrastructure lead who owns the problem day to day, and we filter on signals such as a recent breach disclosure in the sector, a compliance deadline (SOC 2, ISO 27001, DORA or NIS2 in Europe), a new security hire or a cloud migration. Messaging: one specific, technical observation and one question, no breach statistics and no "are you protected?" opener. Proof: a named integration, framework or customer type the buyer recognises, rather than adjectives.
The price is the same: plans from $800 a month. To be plain about what we can show: we do not publish a cybersecurity case study.
Other agencies that come up when cybersecurity companies ask for appointment setting include BAO, Callbox, CFE, SalesHive and Execweb. We have not verified their current prices or terms on their own sites for this page, so we do not quote them; ask each for a written price, the minimum term and two security-sector clients you can call.
CFOs and finance directors buy on risk and trust, not on a clever subject line. For accounting firms, outsourced bookkeeping and FP&A providers, and finance software vendors, we target the CFO at smaller companies and the finance director, financial controller or head of FP&A at larger ones, and we time outreach to the finance calendar: year-end and audit season, a new funding round, a change of auditor, or a finance-team hire. The message leads with one concrete cost or compliance point and a clear next step, in plain language. Finance buyers also expect privacy handled properly, so every campaign runs inside CAN-SPAM, UK GDPR and PECR, or India's DPDP Act, depending on where they sit.
Pricing does not change: plans from $800 a month, no per-meeting fees. We do not publish an accounting or finance case study.
Firms that come up when accounting and finance companies look for CFO appointment setting include SalesAladin, Beyond Codes, Leadle and CFE. Of those, SalesAladin's own pricing page states an appointment setting fee from $1,000 to $5,000 a month with 3-month contracts on its Silver and Gold plans (salesaladin.com/pricing, checked 1 Nov 2026). We have not verified the others' prices or terms.
Most logistics lead generation fails because it emails everyone with "shipping" in their title. The buyers who sign freight, 3PL, warehousing and fleet contracts are heads of supply chain, logistics managers, operations directors and procurement leads, often at manufacturers, distributors and D2C brands rather than at other logistics firms. We build lists by lane, region and shipment profile (for example, importers on a specific trade lane, or brands opening a new warehouse region), and use signals such as a new facility, an expansion into a new market or a hiring push in operations. The copy names the lane, the service level and one operational number the buyer cares about, such as transit time, damage rate or cost per shipment, and asks for a short call.
Same price as every outbound plan: from $800 a month. We do not publish a logistics case study.

Most of our outbound work is for the first three.
Clear, commercial answers. No vague agency language, no hidden pricing signals, and no empty “it depends” answers.
Yes. Every engagement is a monthly plan billed in USD: pricing starts at $800 a month ($800+), scoped to your sending volume, channels and markets, sold as the done-for-you cold email outreach plans. The exact scope and price come in a written proposal after a 30-minute call. LinkedIn on your own Sales Navigator seat is available as an add-on. Infrastructure setup is included in every plan. Indian clients are invoiced in INR with GST; tool seats and data credits are additional. Every price is on the pricing page.
No. We sell retainers only. A per-meeting fee pays the vendor for booking anyone who says yes, which is how calendars fill with meetings that never become opportunities. On a retainer we are paid to run the campaign against the qualified-meeting definition we agree with you in week one, and any booked-call range we quote is a planning range, not a guarantee. For context, US pay-per-meeting firms charge about $300–$600 per meeting in 2026.
On our Clutch profile, where Clutch checks reviewers before it publishes a review; we do not quote a rating here, so read the profile itself, and see our reviews page. What we publish ourselves: a 1.33% bounce rate on live campaigns (measured Nov 2026), 100,000+ emails sent a week across client campaigns, a 15-day warm-up and domains registered in the client's name. Ask for a reference call on the discovery call.
We do not place or rent human SDRs. AI agents do the high-volume work (list building, first touches on email and LinkedIn, follow-ups and reply sorting) and our team reviews every reply marked as interested before a slot is offered, handles objections inside the approved playbook and escalates anything outside it to you. Your AEs run the meeting itself. If you want a human SDR on your payroll, the outsourced SDR page explains what that costs in 2026 and why we run outbound this way instead.
At Digital Patron, for done-for-you outbound (cold email and AI SDR), pricing starts at $800 a month ($800+), scoped to your sending volume, channels and markets; the exact scope and price come in a written proposal after a 30-minute call. Infrastructure setup is included. Across the market, 2026 pricing guides from US firms put retainers at roughly $3,000–$15,000 a month and pay-per-meeting at about $300–$600 per meeting.
Four tests, written down before launch: the right role at a company that matches your ICP; a confirmed slot on your rep's calendar with the invite accepted; a brief in your CRM with the conversation history and what the prospect asked for; and, if the prospect does not show, one follow-up and rebooking at no extra charge. A meeting counts when it is held, not when it is booked, and our team checks every interested reply before a slot is offered.
Weeks one and two cover the ICP, the qualified-meeting definition, infrastructure, list and copy, with domains warming in the background. First sends go out in week three, and first meetings typically arrive between weeks three and six depending on list size, offer and market; that is a typical timeline, not a guarantee. Yes to US buyers: we work from Gurugram and schedule sends and replies to the buyer's business hours, so prospects in New York or London hear back in their working day. See appointment setting for US buyers.
Yes. Digital Patron in Gurugram books meetings for US B2B companies in their own time zone, on plans from $800 a month. We don't sell per-meeting pricing or meeting guarantees.
