Pay per meeting vs. hiring or an agency

Compare cost per meeting and cost per year using your own numbers. We don't assume anything for you.

Meetings per month

Or fill from our published plans

Plan figures come from our pricing page. Strategic includes named-account meetings, so its per-meeting figure is an average.

Example numbers only show how the tool works. They are not benchmarks, quotes or Cashewleads pricing.

Side by side

Fill in at least one option (salary and meetings per month, retainer and meetings per month, or price per meeting and meetings per month) to see costs.

Costs are simple arithmetic on your inputs for a 12-month view. They leave out things like management time and tool contracts unless you enter them, and they are not a quote or a promise of results.
