What is pay per lead in B2B lead generation?
A pricing model where you pay a fixed fee for each lead a provider delivers, rather than a monthly retainer. Published B2B outbound prices sit around $200 to $500 per qualified lead, and many providers add a $3,000 to $5,000 setup fee and a pilot period (industry estimates, checked September 2026).
Is Getlead pay per lead?
No. Getlead charges $0.03 for each email that actually goes out, from a $30 deposit, with no setup fee and no contract. Interested replies land in your inbox with your booking link already sent, and you decide which ones count as leads.
How much does a lead cost if I pay per email?
It depends on how many emails it takes to earn one interested reply, which depends on your offer and market. As a worked example, if one in 150 emails earns an interested reply, a lead costs 150 times $0.03, or $4.50. That is an assumption, not a promise, and the calculator on this page lets you change it.
What is pay per appointment lead generation?
The provider is paid for each sales meeting that is booked and held, commonly $300 to $600 a meeting for B2B and more for C-suite buyers. Contracts define what counts: the buyer's title, company size, and whether a no-show is billed.
Who carries the risk in each model?
With pay per lead or pay per appointment the provider carries more of the risk, and prices it into each lead or meeting. With pay per email you carry the risk, but on a few cents at a time, you can stop any day, and you see every email that went out.
Is a Getlead lead the same as an agency qualified lead?
Not exactly. A Getlead lead is a real person who replied with interest to an email written for them. An agency qualified lead usually means it also matched a checklist in the contract. You qualify Getlead leads on the call, the same way an agency's client does in the end.
When is pay per lead the better choice?
When nobody on your team can answer replies quickly, when you need leads qualified by phone, or when your budget only allows paying for delivered results. If you can judge a reply yourself, paying per email is usually far cheaper per lead.
