Best Appointment Setting Agencies in the USA (2026)

Six of the eight US appointment setting agencies we ranked below publish a rate on their own website, and the band runs from roughly $5,000 to $30,000 a month — Abstrakt at $5,250, EBQ at $5,000, Callbox at an estimated $15,000–$30,000 per campaign pod. Price is not the hard part. Who carries the risk when a booked meeting does not show is. LeadsNow AI ranks itself first and says why.

At a glance

• #1 pick: LeadsNow AI — pay-per-result on booked qualified appointments, not seats or retainers. We rank ourselves first and say why below.
• The real question: not “how many meetings” but what happens to the invoice when a meeting no-shows.
• Four risk transfers: per-SDR-seat retainer, per-lead marketplace, per-meeting-booked, and pay-per-result on qualified booked appointments — four different answers to who eats the loss.
• This category mostly publishes its prices. Six of the eight agencies we ranked print a figure on their own site — Abstrakt, EBQ, Belkins, CIENCE, SalesRoads and Callbox — from $5,000 a month at the bottom to $30,000 per campaign pod at the top. Only SalesHive and memoryBlue do not. Full table below.
• Compliance is contractual: the FTC Telemarketing Sales Rule exempts most B2B calls — but the TSR is not the TCPA, and the TCPA still governs calls and texts to mobiles.
• Verified September 5, 2026. Every agency below, and every price below, was read off that company’s own live website today, with the page it came from linked in its entry.

How it works

How to buy a US appointment setting contract

01

Map the risk model

Sort each proposal into per-SDR-seat retainer, per-lead, per-meeting-booked or pay-per-result. Ignore the label and read the invoice trigger.

02

Define qualified in writing

Pin the title band, company fit, budget and timing into the definitions schedule, not the cover letter.

03

Set the no-show clause

Agree whether no-shows are replaced, credited or billed anyway, and how many days you have to dispute an appointment.

04

Check consent ownership

Confirm who holds the TCPA consent record and whose brand the A2P 10DLC campaign is registered under.

How we ranked these agencies (and our conflict of interest, stated plainly)

LeadsNow AI wrote this page and ranked itself #1. That is a conflict of interest and you should read the rest with it in mind. Here is exactly what we did so you can check our work.

Every agency was screened on four things: (1) it is currently trading — we opened each company’s live site on September 5, 2026, because this category is littered with brands that were acquired, absorbed or quietly rebranded; (2) it books meetings, not just lists; (3) its commercial model is legible before you sign; and (4) it can answer US consent questions in contract language.

On price, the rule is simple: we only print a competitor’s price if that competitor publishes it on its own website. So we opened each company’s own pricing page today and read the figure off it. Six of the eight publish one, and every figure below links to the page it came from. SalesHive and memoryBlue do not, so we say so and describe what they publish instead. Where a company publishes two different numbers for the same thing, as Belkins does, we print both rather than choose.

We ranked ourselves first on the risk-transfer criterion specifically, not on size, tenure or headcount. Several agencies below are larger and older than us. If your requirement is a 20-seat named SDR team in a US time zone with a US office you can visit, we are not the answer, and we say so in our own entry.

One correction worth stating out loud, because it changes what this page is for: an earlier draft claimed this category hides its rates. It does not. Once six of eight vendors publish, “who is transparent” stops being the interesting question and the useful one takes its place — what does the same $7,000 a month buy from each of them, and whose invoice survives a month of no-shows.

The four risk models, and who eats the no-show

Nearly every proposal is one of four shapes. The labels get used loosely, so ignore the label and read the invoice trigger. Because most of this market publishes, you can now see roughly what each shape costs.

Model	You pay for	Who carries the risk	Published US rates on this model	Where it goes wrong
Per-SDR-seat retainer	Headcount and hours, monthly, regardless of output	You, entirely	CIENCE $4,500–$6,500 per US seat per month; SalesRoads $9,950 per SDR per four weeks; EBQ $5,000 half-time / $10,000 full-time per month	Ramp time is billed. A rep who books nothing in month one still invoices in month one.
Per-lead marketplace	Each contact record or inquiry delivered, often shared with rivals	You, entirely — plus contact quality	None. No agency on this page sells shared lead records; every published figure here is a program or seat fee	A “lead” can be a form fill with a fake number. Volume is easy to manufacture.
Per-meeting-booked	Each meeting placed on your calendar	Split — vendor carries booking risk, you carry attendance risk	Rare as a headline price. CIENCE publishes the mechanism — a per-meeting fee “calculated from the agreed ROI goal, typically 4x ROI” — but not the number	The meeting is billable the moment it is booked. No-shows are your problem.
Pay-per-result on qualified booked appointments	Appointments that meet an agreed qualification standard	The vendor, up to the point the prospect is in front of you	Quoted per campaign. Nobody here publishes a per-qualified-appointment rate card, us included	Only works if “qualified” is defined in writing, with a no-show and disqualification clause.

The fourth model is the one we run, so treat that as disclosure rather than neutrality — and note that it only beats the third if the definitions are tight. A pay-per-result contract with a vague qualification standard is worse than a clean per-meeting deal, because it invites an argument over every invoice line.

What each agency publishes, and what the money buys

Sorted by published entry price, lowest first. Every figure is quoted from the linked page on the company’s own site as it stood on September 5, 2026.

Agency	Commercial model	Published price on its own site	What the entry price includes
EBQ	Outsourced specialist, half or full time	$5,000 / mo half-time, $10,000 / mo full-time (annual commitment)	Business consultant, project manager per service, weekly management meeting, tool suite
Belkins	Retainer with a committed annual appointment range	“from $5,000” starter; schema on the same page says $8,000	1,500 leads/month, 3 outreach channels, 100 guaranteed appointments a year, no-show recovery
Abstrakt Marketing Group	Monthly retainer against a stated appointment floor	$5,250 / $7,250 / $9,250 per month	4+, 8+ or 12+ appointments set a month; ~650 / 975 / 1,300 dials; letters and decision-maker research
CIENCE (graph8)	GTM system setup, then platform plus optional seats	$7,499 first month; US SDR seats $4,500 / $5,500 / $6,500	$5,000 one-time setup, $2,000/mo strategic team, $499/mo platform — before any SDR
SalesRoads	Dedicated US SDR seats	$9,950 per SDR per 4 weeks; $16,750 for two	Dedicated SDR, 500 researched leads/month per rep, sales ops team, client success director
Callbox	Campaign pods	$15,000–$30,000 per pod per month, estimated	1 dedicated SDR, multi-channel cadence, enriched data, campaign manager, weekly reporting
SalesHive	Flat all-inclusive monthly fee	No figure published	Publishes the three variables that set the quote: team model, channel mix, daily touch volume
memoryBlue	Dedicated SDR capacity	No figure printed on the page	Publishes a cost calculator instead; see its entry for the caveat
LeadsNow AI	Pay-per-result on qualified booked appointments	Quoted per campaign; no rate card	You are invoiced on a qualified booked appointment, so ramp and dead campaigns cost nothing

Read down the third column and the spread is about six to one. Read across to the fourth and it stops looking like a spread at all: the cheap end buys dials and appointments set, the expensive end buys a managed multi-market program. Neither end buys a held meeting unless you write that into the contract.

1. LeadsNow AI — best for buyers who want the risk on the vendor

Model: pay-per-result / revenue share on booked qualified appointments. No seat fees, no retainer, no per-minute charges.

Track record: 50,769+ AI-booked sales appointments since 2017 and over 1 million leads generated, across 25 filmed client case studies and a 4.6 rating from 43 Google reviews. Named clients include 121 Brokers (Sam Tajvidi), Colliers, Iron Body (Marcus Wilkinson), Foundr, SheSells.online and Lambda Academy.

What it is good at: AI agents work inbound inquiries, form fills and your own dormant CRM at speed, qualify against criteria you set, and place the booking. Because we invoice only on a qualified booked appointment, ramp weeks and dead campaigns cost you nothing — which is the whole difference between us and every published monthly figure in the table above.

The honest limitation: we are headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, and serve US clients remotely on US numbers and US hours. If procurement requires a US office you can walk into, or a named SDR team you manage directly, that is a legitimate reason to pick someone else here. We also decline campaigns where the underlying offer has no proven close rate, because pay-per-result punishes the vendor first when the offer is broken. And we publish no rate card, so you cannot compare us on price the way you can compare the six agencies that do — only on what triggers the invoice. You can book a call to test the fit.

2. Belkins — best for a committed annual appointment range

Model: monthly retainer. Pricing: an average starter price of “from $5,000” on its appointment setting page, stated against 1,500 leads a month, three outreach channels and 100 guaranteed appointments a year. The structured data embedded in that same page prices the same “Average Starter Price” offer at $8,000. Both numbers are Belkins’ own and they do not agree, so we print both rather than pick one — ask which figure a proposal is built from.

Belkins is headquartered at 8 The Green STE 4331, Dover, Delaware, and has run since 2017. Its homepage commits to delivering “100–400+ qualified appointments in a year through tailored omnichannel strategies” — cold email, LinkedIn, cold and intent calling, voicemail and SMS, plus lead research and HubSpot CRM work. A separate plans page lists three retainer tiers by yearly appointment volume with no figures attached, which is why the appointment-setting page is the one to price from.

Read the risk carefully: a committed annual volume range is unusual among retainer agencies, and the offer description names “no-show recovery” explicitly, which is more than most of this list writes down. But the commitment is to appointments set, not to attendance, and the retainer runs whether or not the range is tracking. Partial risk transfer, not a full one.

3. SalesRoads — best for US-based callers on complex B2B deals

Model: dedicated SDR seats. Pricing: published and unusually granular. Full SDR appointment setting “starts at $9,950 / 4 weeks” for one dedicated rep on salesroads.com/pricing, where a slider prices up to twelve reps: two SDRs is $16,750 per four-week engagement, which the page breaks out as $8,375 per rep and a 15.8% saving. Each seat comes quoted with 500 highly researched leads a month.

SalesRoads operates from 10055 Yamato Road, Suite 512, Boca Raton, Florida, and has traded since 2007. Published results are stated per client: 937 appointments for AchieveIt, 807 opportunities for Protecht, 298 appointments for Crewhu. Its homepage terms read “Cancel anytime. No Commitments.”

Best fit: long-cycle, high-consideration B2B where the caller has to hold a real conversation with an operations or finance buyer rather than follow a script off a cliff. Note what the price is attached to — a rep and a lead volume, not an appointment count. You carry the ramp.

4. CIENCE, now inside graph8 — best for buying the GTM system, not just the seats

Model: one-time GTM system setup, then recurring platform and strategy, with SDR seats optional. Pricing: the most granular card in the category.

On its public pricing page, CIENCE lists a $5,000 one-time GTM system setup, a $2,000 per month strategic team fee and a $499 per month graph8 platform license — a stated $7,499 first month before any SDR capacity at all. SDRs are then quoted by level and region: US seats at $4,500, $5,500 and $6,500 per month by level, Europe at $2,500–$4,500, offshore at $1,500–$3,500, plus $1,000 one-time onboarding per SDR. Larger builds run $9,500 (standard) and $25,000 (deployed) over 60 days. It is also the only page here that describes a held-meeting fee at all, “calculated from the agreed ROI goal, typically 4x ROI” — mechanism published, number not.

Read it as anatomy, not as a floor. CIENCE shows every line item a seat deal is made of, which is useful when you are auditing someone else’s single-number proposal. It is not the cheap end of this market: Abstrakt’s $5,250 a month all-in undercuts CIENCE’s $7,499 first month before a single SDR is added. Use it to work out which line items a rival has folded together, then run the in-house version of the same maths in our AI appointment setting vs hiring SDRs comparison.

Check the entity on the contract. CIENCE now trades inside the graph8 group: the footer of its own site reads “Copyright graph8 2026”, support runs through [email protected], and the site states the division of labor as “Tenbound defines the model. graph8 runs the system. CIENCE delivers the outcome.” Same consolidation pattern as memoryBlue’s acquisition of Operatix — a fair question to put to any vendor here is which legal entity signs.

5. SalesHive — best for month-to-month flexibility

Model: one flat all-inclusive monthly fee. Pricing: no figure published — and it is worth being precise about what it publishes instead. Its pricing page names three tiers and two team options without a dollar amount on any of them, then lists the three variables that set your quote: team model (US-based or offshore SDRs), channel mix (phone only, or phone plus email) and daily volume (150+, 250+ or 500+ touches). “Every quote is built on your targets and your volume,” the page says. That is a rate card with the numbers removed, not a black box.

Trading since 2016, SalesHive sells outsourced US-based SDRs running cold calling on a power dialer, email cadences and meeting booking on its own platform, and claims 129K+ qualified meetings booked, $2.5B+ pipeline generated and 2,285 clients across 47+ industries.

The contract term is the differentiator: the site states “No setup fees. No long-term contracts. Cancel anytime with written notice,” with annual plans running at a lower monthly rate than month to month. That does not move performance risk off you — you still pay a flat fee for activity — but it shortens how long you are stuck, which matters when the published alternatives commit you for four weeks or a year.

6. memoryBlue — best for B2B tech, if you want named seats

Model: dedicated SDR capacity. Pricing: no figure is printed on the site. One caveat we would rather state than suppress: memoryBlue publishes an in-house-versus-outsourced savings cost calculator, and the script behind it fixes the outsourced side of the comparison at a set monthly fee per contracted SDR. That number sits in the page source rather than on the page, memoryBlue describes the calculator’s figures as estimates for US hiring, and it is never offered to a reader as a price — so we count memoryBlue as not publishing a rate, and you should treat the calculator as an indication of order of magnitude, not a quote.

memoryBlue is based at 7925 Jones Branch Drive, Tysons, Virginia, with offices in Austin, London and Singapore, and states 600+ current SDRs, ISRs and AEs, 3,000+ clients served, 20+ years in business, 30+ languages and 107 countries. It acquired Operatix on July 27, 2023 — exactly the consolidation this category keeps producing, and a reason to confirm which entity you are contracting with.

Best fit: B2B software vendors who want vertically-experienced reps carrying their brand into named accounts, in a language the account actually speaks, and who have the internal sales management to run them. Pure seat model, pure buyer-side risk.

7. Abstrakt Marketing Group — best for trades, MSPs and volume SMB

Model: monthly retainer against a stated appointment floor. Pricing: three published tiers on its outbound pricing page — Starter $5,250 a month, Standard $7,250, Advanced $9,250 — each attached to an appointment floor (4+, 8+ and 12+ appointments set a month) and an activity floor (~650, ~975 and ~1,300 outbound dials; ~60, ~90 and ~120 key decision-makers identified). The page asterisks the appointment figures: “The number of qualified appointments may vary by industry and target market.” Its homepage FAQ gives the same band as “starting around $5,000–$7,000 per month for outbound programs.”

Why this entry is the useful one: Abstrakt is the only agency here that publishes a price and the appointment count it is set against, so you can do the division. Its own numbers imply roughly $1,310 per appointment set at Starter, $910 at Standard and $770 at Advanced. That arithmetic is ours, not Abstrakt’s, and it is a ceiling on cost per appointment set, not held, since the counts are minimums carrying the variability caveat above.

Best fit: HVAC, commercial cleaning, IT and managed services, staffing — short buying cycles where the decision-maker is reachable by phone and the volume of first conversations is the real constraint. Abstrakt works from St. Louis, Missouri, across all 50 states and Canada, with a team it describes as 500+ US-based specialists, and claims “Over 100,000 Appointments Per Year” and 2,000 active clients. If your average deal is six figures and takes nine months, this is the wrong shape of program.

8. Callbox — best for multi-region enterprise programs

Model: campaign pods. Pricing: published as a range rather than a fixed fee. One pod — one dedicated SDR, a multi-channel cadence, AI-enriched contact data, campaign manager oversight and weekly reporting — carries an “Estimated Monthly Investment” of $15,000–$30,000 on callboxinc.com/lead-generation-pricing, with exact pricing following a consultation. Add pods to scale. That is the top of the published range on this page by a wide margin.

Callbox runs from 4924 Balboa Blvd, Encino, California, with teams it lists in the US, UK, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Colombia. Its site claims 15K+ companies served, 10K+ campaigns run, 60+ countries and 20+ years in B2B lead generation.

Best fit: a US enterprise that needs the same campaign run into APAC and EMEA with local-language callers — few competitors on this page can. Note the risk shape the price implies: a pod bills monthly for a program, and the program bills whether or not this quarter’s pipeline lands. At $15,000 a pod, a flat quarter is a $45,000 lesson.

9. EBQ — best when the data and CRM are the real problem

Model: outsourced specialist headcount. Pricing: two flat monthly fees on ebq.com/ebq-pricing — $5,000 a month for a half-time employee and $10,000 a month for a full-time one, both marked “*price reflects annual commitment”. Included at no extra cost: one business consultant, a weekly management meeting, one project manager per service and access to EBQ’s tool suite. The page frames disclosure as policy: “we believe that the best partnerships are born out of transparency.” It also runs its own build-versus-buy sum, putting an internal SDR team at $189,500 a year against $120,000 with EBQ.

EBQ operates from 13341 W U.S. 290, Bldg. 2, Austin, Texas, states “over 16+ years” in business, staffs with US-based salaried specialists, and sells appointment setting and outsourced sales development bundled with B2B data, CRM optimization and digital marketing.

Best fit: teams whose outbound is failing upstream — bad CRM hygiene, duplicated accounts, a list unverified in two years. Buying meetings on top of broken data is the most common way these engagements fail, and EBQ fixes the layer underneath before the calling starts. The half-time tier is also the softest published landing here if you want to test the model before committing a full seat.

What “qualified” has to say in your contract

These deals go wrong the same way every time: the price is published, and “qualified” appears in the proposal but not in the definitions schedule. Before signing anything — with us or with anyone above — get all seven of these written down.

• The billable event. Booked, held, or held-and-qualified? These are three different invoices from the same activity.
• Seniority and authority. “Decision-maker” means a named title band, not a self-declaration on a call.
• Company fit. Employee count, revenue band, geography, tech stack, exclusions.
• Timing and budget. Is a prospect with a 12-month horizon and no budget line qualified? Say so either way.
• The no-show clause. Is a no-show replaced free, credited, rebooked once, or billed anyway? Get the number of free rebooks in writing. Belkins is the only agency above whose published offer names no-show recovery at all; everyone else, ask.
• The rejection window. How many days do you have to dispute an appointment, through what mechanism, and who arbitrates? A 48-hour window with a form is workable; “raise it with your account manager” is not.
• Recording access. You should be able to listen to the call that produced any appointment you are billed for. If you cannot, the qualification standard is unenforceable.

A vendor that resists writing these down is telling you which model it actually runs, whatever the proposal says on the cover. A published price is a real convenience, but it prices an input; the definitions schedule is what decides whether you got an output.

Show rate: the number that turns a good report into a bad quarter

Appointments set is a vanity metric. Appointments held is the one that touches revenue, and the gap between them is where per-meeting and per-appointment-floor deals quietly become expensive. Run it against the published numbers: Abstrakt’s Starter tier implies roughly $1,310 per appointment set, so divide by whatever your show rate turns out to be — four in five held makes it about $1,640, three in five about $2,180 — and note that not one pricing page in this list puts a number against meetings held. Ask every shortlisted agency for held-rate, not booked-rate, broken out by channel and lead source — a warm inbound form fill and a cold-list meeting do not behave the same way, and an agency reporting them as one blended number is hiding the weaker half.

The levers are unglamorous and they work: confirm by SMS and email within an hour of booking, reconfirm the day before, use a calendar invite with a real agenda line rather than “intro call”, keep the booking-to-meeting gap under about 72 hours, and route no-shows back into the sequence rather than marking them dead. The mechanics are in our guide to improving sales appointment show rates.

US compliance: what to ask before the first dial

General information only, not legal advice — but a US buyer is on the hook alongside the agency, so these are the questions to put in writing. Our deeper treatment is in AI cold calling and the TCPA.

• TCPA consent. Marketing calls and texts to mobiles made with an autodialer or an artificial or prerecorded voice require prior express written consent. Ask who holds the consent record, in what format, and whether you get a copy.
• The one-to-one consent rule is gone. The FCC’s “one-to-one” lead-generator consent rule was vacated by the Eleventh Circuit in Insurance Marketing Coalition Limited v. FCC, 127 F.4th 303 (11th Cir. 2025), and the FCC removed the language from its rules by Order DA 25-621, adopted July 14, 2025 and effective on Federal Register publication August 29, 2025. A vendor still selling “one-to-one compliance” as a 2026 feature is not reading its own regulator.
• AI voices are “artificial”. In Declaratory Ruling FCC 24-17 (adopted February 2, 2024, released February 8, 2024, CG Docket No. 23-362), the FCC confirmed that the TCPA’s restrictions on “artificial or prerecorded voice” encompass AI technologies that generate human voices, so such calls “require the prior express consent of the called party”. Any agency pitching AI voice into the US must answer to that ruling.
• State mini-TCPAs. Florida’s Telephone Solicitation Act bars automated-system sales calls without prior express written consent and gives the called party a private action for actual damages or $500, with a mandatory 15-day STOP cure period for text claims (Fla. Stat. 501.059). Oklahoma’s Telephone Solicitation Act of 2022 took effect November 1, 2022 (HB 3168). Maryland’s Stop the Spam Calls Act of 2023 took effect January 1, 2024 and makes a violation an unfair, abusive or deceptive trade practice under the Maryland Consumer Protection Act.
• A2P 10DLC. Business SMS to US mobiles runs over the 10DLC channel, in which, per The Campaign Registry, “Brands and Campaign Service Providers (CSPs) are verified prior to being allowed to send messages.” Ask whose brand the campaign is registered under — yours or the agency’s — because that determines who owns the reputation and the throughput. See our A2P 10DLC registration guide.
• FTC Telemarketing Sales Rule and the DNC Registry. The FTC states that “most phone calls between a telemarketer and a business are exempt from the TSR,” excepting calls inducing the retail sale of nondurable office or cleaning supplies. That is not blanket permission: the TCPA is separate, and consumer-facing campaigns sit under the TSR, where the FTC’s guide currently states a civil penalty of $53,088 for each violation. Our own note, not the FTC’s: civil penalty maximums of this kind are revised over time, so check the current figure rather than quoting ours.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between pay-per-appointment and pay-per-result?

Pay-per-appointment usually bills when a meeting is placed on your calendar. Pay-per-result bills when a meeting placed on your calendar also meets an agreed qualification standard. The gap between them is entirely defined by the contract, so the label tells you nothing on its own — the definitions schedule and the no-show clause tell you everything.

Are AI appointment setters legal in the United States?

AI voice calls are not banned, but they are consent-gated. In Declaratory Ruling FCC 24-17, adopted February 2, 2024, the FCC confirmed that the TCPA’s restrictions on “artificial or prerecorded voice” cover AI technologies that generate human voices, so those calls require the prior express consent of the called party absent an emergency purpose or exemption. In practice that points AI calling at opted-in leads, inbound inquiries and your own customer database rather than cold purchased lists. This is general information, not legal advice.

How much do US appointment setting agencies cost?

Most of them tell you. Six of the eight agencies we ranked on this page publish a figure on their own website, and the band runs from about $5,000 to $30,000 a month: Abstrakt at $5,250, $7,250 and $9,250 a month against 4+, 8+ and 12+ appointments set; EBQ at $5,000 half-time and $10,000 full-time on an annual commitment; Belkins from $5,000, with structured data on the same page saying $8,000; CIENCE at $7,499 for the first month before any SDR, then $4,500 to $6,500 per US seat; SalesRoads at $9,950 per SDR per four weeks; and Callbox at an estimated $15,000 to $30,000 per campaign pod. SalesHive and memoryBlue do not print a figure. The number is the easy part — the spread is explained by whether the fee buys dials, a seat, a committed appointment range or a managed multi-market program, and none of those published prices is quoted on meetings held.

Does the National Do Not Call Registry apply to B2B appointment setting?

Generally not for genuine business-to-business calls, which the FTC says are mostly exempt from the Telemarketing Sales Rule. The Registry itself remains very large: the FTC’s National Do Not Call Registry Data Book for Fiscal Year 2025 reports over 258 million active registrations and over 2.6 million Do Not Call complaints. If any part of your campaign touches consumers or sole traders on personal mobiles, scrub and treat it as consumer telemarketing.

Should I choose an agency or hire an SDR in-house?

It depends on whether you can absorb ramp. An in-house seat costs you salary, benefits, tooling and several months of ramp before it produces, and you carry all of it — EBQ’s own published sum puts an internal SDR team at $189,500 a year against $120,000 outsourced to it. An agency seat model moves the hiring risk but not the performance risk. A pay-per-result model moves both, at the cost of accepting the vendor’s qualification standard. We compare the economics in detail in AI appointment setting vs hiring SDRs.

Is this list independent?

No. LeadsNow AI wrote it and ranked itself first, which is disclosed at the top of the page. Every other company listed is a real, currently-trading US agency whose own website we read on September 5, 2026. Six of the eight publish a price, every figure here is quoted from the page it appears on and linked to that page, and the two that do not publish a rate are described as not publishing one rather than guessed at. For an AI-specific cut of the same market, see our companion list of the best AI appointment setting services in the USA.
