Common pricing models
- Hourly rate model: you pay per agent hour worked; offshore agents (India, Philippines) run $12 to $20 per hour; US-based agents run $20 to $75 per hour; B2B-specialized agents with industry knowledge command $40 to $90 per hour (indicative 2025 to 2026 ranges). Transparent and easy to audit but rewards activity not outcomes, pair with strict output reporting or you are paying for dials not results
- Dedicated agent monthly retainer: a full-time outsourced caller costs $3,000 to $7,000 per month in a dedicated model, or $1,500 to $3,500 in a shared-agent arrangement; these rates typically include dialer technology, call recording, QA, and compliance infrastructure (indicative 2025 to 2026 ranges). Best for stable, ongoing programs where process continuity and product knowledge depth matter
- Per-lead or per-appointment model: per-lead pricing averages $35 to $60 per lead; qualified B2B appointments range from $75 to $300 per appointment depending on seniority of target and complexity of qualification criteria (indicative 2025 to 2026 ranges). Attractive because you pay for outcomes, but watch how the vendor defines a qualified lead, loose definitions produce volume not pipeline
- Per-call pricing: averages roughly $2 to $10 per call with telemarketing programs averaging around $5 per call; AI-assisted calling is emerging at $0.40 to $0.65 per call versus $7 to $12 per call for human agents (indicative, Juniper Research 2024). Per-call models work for high-volume, simple outreach but are easy to game, a vendor can hit call targets while avoiding difficult conversations
What drives the cost
- Delivery geography (offshore vs nearshore vs onshore) — the single biggest driver.
- Seniority and specialisation of the team (agents vs analysts vs licensed professionals).
- Engagement model — per-hour, per-seat (dedicated FTE), per-transaction, or outcome-based.
- Volume and contract length — larger, longer commitments earn better rates.
- Compliance and security requirements (HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2) add overhead.
- Language coverage and hours (24/7 or multilingual support costs more).
