Looking for a Belkins
alternative?
Belkins is a solid agency for mid-market teams that fit its $5,000 to $10,000 a month range and 3 to 6 month minimum. If you're outside that fit, or you want to keep the infrastructure when the engagement ends, here's the real comparison.

Common questions.
What does Belkins typically cost?
Belkins engagements typically run $5,000 to $10,000 a month, with minimum terms of 3 to 6 months. That sweet spot is mid-market budgets, so smaller teams often pay for more than they need.
What happens to my outbound infrastructure when a Belkins contract ends?
Agencies that manage your sending infrastructure typically keep the domains, mailboxes, and sender reputation they built when the engagement ends. You're left rebuilding from zero with a new vendor or in-house.
Is ScaleForce cheaper than Belkins?
ScaleForce engagements start at $4,000 a month, below the $5,000 to $10,000 range Belkins works in, and there's no 3 to 6 month minimum. Pricing is scoped to the specific leak we're fixing rather than a fixed retainer regardless of fit.
