What does an in-house SDR cost by comparison?
The Bridge Group's 2025 report puts median SDR on-target earnings at $80,000 a year, split $55,000 base and $25,000 variable. Benefits, tools, a manager's time and recruiting come on top, and the average SDR takes 3.0 months to ramp and stays 1.9 years.
What is SDR as a service?
SDR as a service is another name for an outsourced SDR: an agency provides the rep, the process and usually the tools for a monthly fee per seat. Getlead is a different model: the research, writing, sending and reply handling run as software, and you pay per email sent instead of per seat.
Can Getlead replace an SDR?
It replaces the email part of the job: picking accounts, finding and verifying the decision maker, writing one email per person, sending from warmed mailboxes and answering interested replies with your booking link. It does not make calls, run LinkedIn or work events. You can run it before a first SDR hire, or to give an existing SDR time back for calls.
How fast does Getlead start compared with hiring an SDR?
The Bridge Group reports an average ramp of 3.0 months for a new SDR. On Getlead you paste your website, the plan is ready in about a minute, and after you add credit from $30 the first campaign waits one hour in review and then sends.
What does Getlead cost each month?
There is no seat fee. You add credit from $30 and each email that goes out costs $0.03, so 4,000 emails a month is $120. There is no contract, and the credit does not expire.
Does Getlead guarantee meetings like some SDR agencies?
No. You pay for emails sent, not for meetings. Replies depend on your offer and your market. What Getlead controls is the targeting, the verified list, the writing, the sending and the reply handling, and you can read every new campaign before it goes.
