VA Horizon vs Cleverly for Staffing Agency Appointments
Cleverly publishes a $2,997-a-month package for staffing agencies covering 10 to 40 appointments a month of done-for-you cold calling and multichannel outreach, which works out to roughly $75 to $300 per appointment depending on how many the month actually delivers. VA Horizon publishes a flat $300 to $550 per held, double-confirmed meeting plus a one-time $300 setup, so the price does not move with volume.
Pay per booked meeting. No retainer.

What the flat monthly price hides.
A flat package price hides a volume swing
Cleverly bills $2,997 a month regardless of whether that produces 10 appointments or 40. Divide the price across that range and the real cost per appointment swings from roughly $75 to $300, arithmetic run directly from Cleverly's own published figures.
The same fee bills whether the low end hits or not
If a given month lands closer to 10 appointments than 40, the effective cost per appointment lands near the top of that $75 to $300 range, and the invoice is the same $2,997 either way.
Double confirmation is not part of the published offer
This research found no published no-show or exclusivity guarantee on Cleverly's staffing page. VA Horizon's model closes that gap directly: every meeting is double-confirmed, and a no-show is never billed.
A per-meeting price removes the volume guesswork
VA Horizon's $300 to $550 does not change based on how many meetings land in a given month. You know the number before you agree to it, not after the month closes out.
Match the choice to your appetite for volume risk.
Choose Cleverly when

Choose VA Horizon when
You want a fixed, published cost per booked, double-confirmed meeting that does not move with volume, plus a no-show policy that is stated upfront instead of left undisclosed.
