The short answer

A-Sales or Cleverly?

A-Sales and Cleverly bill for different things. Cleverly sells each channel on its own monthly plan, from $397 per user for LinkedIn to $2,997 for appointment setting, says it does not offer pure pay-per-appointment pricing, and does not guarantee a number of meetings. A-Sales leads with the phone and charges from $500 per held meeting once your target profile is proven, or from $4,000 a month, and does not bill meetings that miss the standard agreed with you.

About Cleverly

Cleverly is a Los Angeles lead generation agency founded in 2018, built on LinkedIn outreach and cold email, which now also sells appointment setting and cold calling. Each channel has its own price: LinkedIn outreach from your own profile at $397 to $997 a month per user, appointment setting at $697 to $2,997 a month, and cold email month-to-month on a flat retainer or per meeting-ready lead. It calls LinkedIn its strongest channel, says a dedicated SDR on its appointment setting plan cold calls 200 to 300 prospects a day, and does not guarantee a number of meetings. It is the better fit if your budget is under $3,000 a month, your buyers answer on LinkedIn, or you want to revive leads already in your CRM.

Cleverly vs A-Sales

The rows a buyer actually asks about: who runs the campaign, what data is included, what the tooling is, and what reviewers say.

Size and age tell you what kind of engagement to expect: a large, established provider brings process and headcount, a small senior team brings the people who actually make the calls. Neither is automatically better, but you should know which one you are buying.

What Cleverly costs and what its clients say, answered in words with the figures kept in the tables above.

Cleverly pricing vs A-Sales

Cleverly publishes its plan prices: $397 to $997 a month per user for LinkedIn outreach, with team discounts from three users, and $697 to $2,997 a month for appointment setting. Cold email is month-to-month, on a flat retainer or per meeting-ready lead, with prices not published. Each plan promises a different unit: 15 to 30 extra sales calls a month for appointment setting, 10 to 30 meetings or 15 to 25 leads for LinkedIn, depending on the page. Before comparing a quote with a per-meeting price, ask which of those units you are paying for and how many of them turn into held meetings. A-Sales bills from $500 per held meeting, or from $4,000 a month for a managed engagement.
