CIENCE Alternatives in 2026: 10 Compared, Plus SalesHive
Updated October 2026. CIENCE’s, SalesHive’s and every alternative’s price and terms read from its own site on October 25, 2026, unless a line says otherwise.
The best CIENCE alternative depends on what you’d change. If you don’t want per-seat pricing and a bonus formula, OneAway runs cold email and LinkedIn for B2B SaaS on a flat fee from $3,250 a month with no setup fee, and Leadium sells US-based SDR programs at $3,500 to $5,000 a month, month to month. If you want US-based reps in an office, memoryBlue or EBQ. If you want phone-led programs you can cancel any time, SalesRoads. If you want multichannel pods across regions, Callbox. If you want a yearly appointment count in writing, Belkins.
OneAway wrote this page and sells one of the options on it. Every figure comes from the company’s own site, linked in the sources at the bottom, so you can check them.
What CIENCE offers
- Price, in three parts: a $2,000/mo campaign team, its graph8 platform at $499/mo, and SDRs from $1,750/mo offshore or $3,500/mo in the US and Europe. That’s $4,249/mo with one offshore SDR, $5,999/mo with one US or Europe SDR, and $11,249/mo with five offshore SDRs.
- On top: a performance bonus per SDR once they pass 60% of target, and one setup fee. The pricing page doesn’t show the setup amount; Snipe Outbound’s and Intent Signal’s write-ups put it at $5,000.
- Terms and channels: month-to-month, with SDRs on email, phone and LinkedIn. Its homepage cites 5 to 20+ qualified meetings a month per SDR, as a range.
Why teams look for an alternative
- The bonus. Your bill rises in the months the SDR does well. At 100% of target, one offshore SDR adds about $1,225 that month if the bonus is figured on the SDR’s monthly fee.
- The setup fee isn’t on the pricing page.
- Where the SDR sits. The lowest price is for an offshore SDR. US or Europe SDRs cost twice as much per seat.
