Build it, or run it?
Building outbound in-house means hiring, licensing tools, and waiting months for the first real conversation. Here is what that costs against running it on one subscription.
Run the numbers for your team.
Compare a year of building outbound in-house with a year on the Engine. Change any number to match your situation.
Data provider, enrichment, outreach automation, LinkedIn seats, dialer.
Engine figures assume one Engine: Full subscription ($3,300/mo) per rep you'd otherwise hire, live from week two. In-house outreach assumes a typical 150 touches per rep a month. Estimates only; your audit gives you an exact comparison.
Where the in-house cost actually goes.
Hiring and ramp
Recruiting, onboarding and ramp time typically mean 3–6 months before a new rep is in steady conversations.
Tools and data
Data providers, enrichment, outreach automation, LinkedIn seats and a dialer, each with its own contract and someone to manage it.
The manual ceiling
Even a focused rep typically tops out at 100–150 outreach touches a month once research and follow-ups are counted.
