Choose Newlead if you want cold email done for you and every interested lead delivered to your Slack, with meeting booking only if you want it.

Common questions
Is Newlead cheaper than Belkins?
We cannot tell you, because neither of us publishes prices. Belkins sells packages by yearly appointment volume, starting at 30 or more appointments a year. Our scope depends on your market, volume and setup. Ask both of us for a written price against the same definition of a qualified lead or meeting, and compare those.
What does Belkins do that Newlead does not?
More channels in one package: LinkedIn, cold calling, voicemail and Messenger or WhatsApp next to email. Appointment setting with no-show recovery is part of every Belkins package. Belkins is also a much larger agency.
What does Newlead do that Belkins does not?
We publish reply and bounce rates split by industry and by market, from our own outbound and from campaigns for 33 clients, including the segments where results were poor. And each interested lead goes straight to your Slack with name, company, email and phone.
Which is better for financial services?
It depends on your segment. Financial services firms in the US and Canada are the largest segment in our own outbound data, with 56,503 people contacted, and accounting, bookkeeping and outsourced finance firms are our largest group of clients. We publish the numbers for both. Belkins covers many industries, so ask them for numbers from your own segment and market.
How do we compare two proposals fairly?
Fix the qualified lead definition first, in writing, including whether appointment setting is included. Then divide each monthly fee by the target lead count. Our cost guide has the full checklist.
More detail on how agencies price this work is in our B2B lead generation cost guide, and reply rates by industry and market, from our own outbound and our client campaigns, are in the 2026 cold email benchmarks.
