The short answer

Pick Leads at Scale if you want fewer, deeper phone conversations: custom scripts for your ICP, warm handoffs to your closers, 80% client retention, and published pricing that starts around $2,500 a month for 500 calls. Pick SalesHive if you want maximum outreach volume: 150 to 500+ touches per day across phone and email on their own AI platform, with no setup fee and no long-term contract. Both companies staff US-based SDRs, so geography won't settle it. Our dial data shows an average of 2.95 calls per booked meeting, and 75% of meetings land within the first three calls. SalesHive is built to cover more ground with more automation. Depth or breadth. That's the real choice.

The full analysis

How do the two models actually differ?

We sell calls in monthly blocks: 500, 1,000, or 1,500 dials, made by US-based BDRs working a script written for your ICP. When a prospect qualifies, we hand them to your closer warm. SalesHive sells daily activity: plans sized at 150, 250, or 500+ touches per day, mixing phone and email, run through the AI platform they built. Their AI agents research prospects, build lists, personalize emails, dial, and route replies. A dedicated Sales Strategist owns targeting and messaging on each account.

Both teams are US-based. SalesHive states its core SDR team is 100% US-based and offers an offshore option; our team is 100% US-based with no offshore tier. The geography matches. The models don't.

What does SalesHive do well?

Scale and tooling. Their site reports 2,285 clients across 47+ industries, 129K+ qualified meetings booked, and $2.5B+ in pipeline since 2016. Those are their numbers, not ours, and we can't audit them, but the model behind them is real: high daily volume, AI-assisted email personalization through eMod, a Power Dialer for connected calls, and an inbox system that routes every reply.

Their contract terms are genuinely buyer-friendly. No setup fees. No long-term contracts. Cancel with written notice, and outreach and billing end after your next billing month. Most clients launch within two to three weeks of kickoff, per their site. If you want the widest possible top of funnel with the least commitment risk, that package is hard to argue with.

What do third-party reviews say?

Not much yet, honestly. As of July 30, 2026, SalesHive's Clutch profile shows a single review, and it is negative: 0.5 stars, from a client dispute. One review is not a track record in either direction. Their G2 listing has too few reviews for a score. The same caution applies to anyone in this industry, including us: ask both companies for recent, reachable references before you sign anything.

Where does Leads at Scale fit better?

When quality per conversation matters more than raw activity. Our dial study covered 36,000 contacts and produced 896 booked appointments. 23% of those meetings landed on the first call, 32.1% on the second, and 20.2% on the third. About 75% of everything we book happens within the first three calls, at an average of 2.95 dials per meeting. The lesson we take from that data: a good list and a good script book meetings early. Past call three, returns fall off fast, so we spend our effort on research and script quality instead of volume for its own sake.

The results bear that out. Valpak of Greater Fort Worth closed 11% of appointments before us and 40% after. TEL Education went from flat sales to 2x year over year. And 80% of our clients stay with us, a number we publish because it is the one we would ask about if we were buying.

What does the pricing math look like side by side?

Only one side of this table has published numbers. Ours: 500 calls a month runs $2,500 to $3,100, 1,000 calls runs $4,900 to $6,200, and 1,500 calls runs $7,400 to $9,300, plus a one-time setup of $3,600 to $4,500. Month-to-month prices at the top of each range; a 12-month commitment runs about 20% lower. SalesHive quotes every deal custom after a 30-minute call, with $0 setup and month-to-month or annual billing, annual running lower.

Their $0 setup is a real advantage in month one, and we won't pretend otherwise. Our published rates are the counterweight: you know your cost before you ever talk to us. Whichever way you lean, compare the number that matters. Touches are not meetings. Ask both companies what a booked, held meeting actually costs.
