Feature comparison

- ▸You're earlier stage and need to move fast without enterprise-level spend
- ▸You'd rather have a system that compounds over time than a human process that plateaus
What actually sets Stellar Digital apart
You own the infrastructure
With Belkins, the SDR team, the sequences, the tools all belong to Belkins. When the contract ends, you start from zero. With us, the domains, campaign flows, contact databases, and workflows are yours. The system keeps working after we stop billing you.
Automation vs headcount
Belkins scales by hiring more SDRs. We scale by improving automation. At the same budget, our system can run roughly 5x the volume of a typical Belkins engagement, because there's no labor cost stacked onto every additional contact.
Flexibility on contracts
Most companies aren't ready for a 6-month commitment when they're testing outbound for the first time. We do month-to-month after an initial setup period. You get to validate the channel before you're locked in.
Speed to first meeting
Belkins typically takes 4–6 weeks to onboard a client and launch a campaign. We average 2–3 weeks from signed agreement to first campaign live. First replies usually come in within the first two weeks.

Is Belkins worth the price?
Belkins charges $3,000–$10,000/mo and delivers via manual SDR teams. For enterprise deals where human relationship-building actually matters, the price can pencil out. For companies under 50 employees or deal sizes under $50k ACV, automated outbound usually delivers better ROI.
Does Belkins have long contracts?
Yes. Belkins requires a minimum 6-month commitment in most engagements. That's standard for large agencies that need to recoup SDR onboarding and ramp costs. We do month-to-month after an initial setup fee.
How does Stellar Digital compare to Belkins on results?
Results depend heavily on ICP, offer, and market. Our clients have hit 200+ qualified appointments in 60 days. The structural difference is that automation lets us run more volume, test faster, and ship a lower cost per meeting.
What happens to my campaigns if I stop working with each agency?
With Belkins, campaigns stop. The SDR team and tools belong to them. With us, you keep all the infrastructure: domains, sequences, lead lists, workflow automations. You can run them yourself or hand them to an in-house hire.
