One of the 5 publishes a monthly minimum: Arvana at $5,000. 1 offers pay-per-meeting pricing and 1 offers pay-per-lead; the rest work on a retainer or do not say. Besides cold email, the services most often offered here are GTM engineering, LinkedIn outreach and cold calling. 5 build on Clay, 0 work inside HubSpot and 0 use their own or undisclosed tools.
