AI Cold Calling ROI Calculator
See how much your team saves (and earns) by replacing manual SDRs with AI cold calling.
Your team today
Current: Human SDRs
With ClinchRev AI
* AI throughput assumes 5× more dials/day vs human (conservative — AI can run 24/7 in legal windows with no breaks). Your actual results depend on list quality, script, and vertical.
How the calculator works
The ROI calculator estimates your annual savings and revenue impact from replacing human SDRs with ClinchRev's AI cold calling platform. Here's what each input and output means:
SDR headcount and salary
Enter the number of SDRs on your team and their average annual salary (including benefits). The US average for an outbound SDR is $65,000–$80,000 base salary, plus ~30% in benefits and overhead.
Dials per day
A typical human SDR makes 60–100 dials per day with breaks, admin work, and training. ClinchRev's AI makes 500–2,000+ dials per day depending on your plan — the calculator uses these benchmarks to show the activity gap.
Demo close rate and deal value
These inputs project revenue impact. If your current close rate is 20% from demos, and you book 3× more demos with AI, your projected revenue increases proportionally — even before accounting for improved SDR performance on qualified leads.
ClinchRev plan cost
The calculator subtracts your monthly ClinchRev cost from the savings to show net ROI. Plans range from $149/month (Growth) to $899/month (Scale). Most teams recoup the cost within the first month.
Typical results by team size
Based on ClinchRev customers across B2B SaaS, agencies, and solar — here are benchmark results by team size:
| Team Size | Current SDR Cost/yr | ClinchRev Cost/yr | Annual Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solo founder (no SDR) | $0 (founder time) | $1,788 (Growth) | Time savings + 3–8 demos/wk |
| 1 SDR replacing with AI | $75K+ | $4,788 (Pro) | $70K+ in salary savings |
| 3-SDR team | $225K+ | $10,788 (Scale) | $214K+ in salary savings |
| 5-SDR team | $375K+ | $10,788 (Scale) | $364K+ in salary savings |
Savings estimates based on US average SDR salaries. Actual results vary by industry, ICP, and call volume.
Why AI beats human SDRs on pure math
A human SDR's hourly output is fundamentally constrained. Even the most efficient SDR makes 10–15 dials per hour — accounting for dial time, rings, voicemails, actual conversations, logging notes, and breaks. Over an 8-hour day, you're looking at 60–100 meaningful attempts. That's the ceiling.
ClinchRev's AI has no ceiling. It can run parallel campaigns simultaneously, dial the moment the last call ends, and never needs motivation, coaching, or a commission check. The math compounds fast: 500 AI dials per day vs 80 human dials per day = 525% more top-of-funnel activity, from one $149/month subscription.
The flip side — and we're honest about this — AI doesn't replace the human closer. The best results come from AI handling top-of-funnel (cold outreach, qualification, meeting booking) while humans close the demo. That's the playbook: AI for volume, humans for relationship.
525% more dials
500+ AI dials/day vs ~80 human dials/day. More attempts = more connects = more demos.
No ramp period
A human SDR takes 3–6 months to ramp. AI calls on day one with your script.
Scales without headcount
Going from 500 to 2,000 dials/day costs $250/mo more. Not $75,000 more.
