Where Cleverly may be the better fit
Your budget for outbound is a few hundred dollars a month. Nothing we sell fits that, and we would rather say so.
You want to test one channel cheaply before committing to a real program.
Your ACV is low enough that a personalised, phone led motion cannot pay for itself.
You have someone internally who will work the replies, because volume tools produce replies rather than meetings.
Where BizDev Labs fits
You have already run a cheap LinkedIn test and the replies did not become pipeline.
Your buyer answers the phone more reliably than they answer a LinkedIn message.
You need one specialist per channel rather than a template applied to your account.
You want the message, the infrastructure and the playbook to be yours at the end.
Possible, but you will end up with two owners of LinkedIn messaging and no single view of what is working. If LinkedIn is working for you already, keep them and buy calling and email from us on a separate segment.

Questions before you decide
More on the comparison
Cleverly is a US based LinkedIn lead generation agency and one of the few in this market that publishes its pricing, which is to their credit. LinkedIn outreach starts around $397 a month, cold email is sold separately at a higher tier, and there is a three month minimum. Sales Navigator is not included, so the real monthly cost is higher than the headline.
We are not competing at that price and we will not pretend to. Our email and LinkedIn option starts at $3,000/month; the option with two dedicated callers is $14,000/month. If your budget is a few hundred dollars, use them.
