StoneHaven booked 532 sales calls in a single month for one client, adding $379,000 in MRR, and generated 445 sales calls in 25 days on a separate program. Those programs run at up to 250,000 emails a month each. SalesHive pairs US-based cold calling with email outreach on a productised, flat-fee platform and publishes 129,000+ qualified meetings booked as a company-wide lifetime total. The question worth asking is what each provider can show about the volume of booked conversations a single program produces, and what infrastructure holds that volume up.
StoneHaven's documented programs have produced 532 booked sales calls in one month at $379,000 in added MRR and 445 booked calls in 25 days, running up to 250,000 emails a month per program. Sustaining that volume rests on a bounce rate held between 1% and 3% and 98% inbox placement from the first send.
SalesHive's homepage leads with lifetime scale: 129,000+ qualified meetings booked and $2.5 billion in pipeline generated (saleshive.com, fetched July 2026). Those are company-wide lifetime totals, so they describe the whole business rather than one program in one month. What the public site does not include is a per-program monthly booked-call figure, an inbox-placement percentage, a bounce rate, or a reply rate tied to a specific send count. This page compares the two providers on booked-call output at volume, and then on the infrastructure that determines whether that volume survives contact with the inbox.

Booked Calls at Volume
StoneHaven's highest-output month on a single program returned 532 booked sales calls and $379,000 in added MRR, with a separate program generating 445 booked calls in 25 days. Both ran on infrastructure holding 98% inbox placement from the first send.
Booked-call volume is the number a revenue leader actually staffs against. Two programs define StoneHaven's published range: 532 sales calls booked in a single month, carrying $379,000 in added monthly recurring revenue for the client, and 445 sales calls generated inside a 25-day window on a different program. Both figures are per program and per period, so a buyer can divide them against their own close rate and average deal size without guessing at the denominator.
SalesHive publishes its results at a different altitude. As of July 2026, its site states 129,000+ qualified meetings booked and $2.5 billion in pipeline generated, and describes a business serving 2,285 clients across 47+ industries. Those totals are company-wide and lifetime, so they describe throughput across the whole business rather than what a single engagement returns in a month. Both are legitimate ways to describe a business. They answer different buyer questions.
The volume that sits underneath those booked calls is email send volume. StoneHaven's larger programs run up to 250,000 emails a month each, and campaign dashboards carry the send count alongside every rate: a 163,085-send campaign in June 2025 returned a 6.73% reply rate with 43.18% of replies flagged interested, and a 10-day run of 183,524 sends returned an 11.94% reply rate with 46.35% of replies interested. Industry benchmarks put average cold-email reply rates at 3% to 6%, so both runs sit at or above the strong end of that range with the denominator stated.
Engagement Model
StoneHaven's programs are scoped against a booked-call target, with the largest published month returning 532 calls and $379,000 in added MRR. The infrastructure build required to hold that output is sized during scoping rather than sold from a shelf.
SalesHive prices from a published tier structure. Its pricing page names three flat-fee tiers, Launch (phone-led), Grow (phone plus email), and Crush (expanded SDR capacity), with no setup fee, onboarding included, and month-to-month terms, and confirms exact figures on a 30-minute call (saleshive.com/pricing-packages, fetched July 2026). Any figure a buyer finds in third-party listings is an outside estimate rather than a vendor-published rate.
StoneHaven scopes each program to the buyer's target market, required send volume, and booked-call goal, then quotes it on a discovery call. The variable that drives the scope is infrastructure: a program aiming at 250,000 sends a month needs a materially larger domain and inbox footprint than one aiming at 30,000, and that footprint is what determines whether the booked-call number holds through month three instead of collapsing when the first domains burn.
Infrastructure and Deliverability: The Wedge
The 532-call month and the 445-call sprint were both produced on builds running 25 to 120 isolated sending domains and 200 to 610 inboxes, holding 98% inbox placement from the first send and bounce between 1% and 3%.
High-volume outbound fails in one of three places: domains get burned faster than they can be replaced, placement drifts from inbox to spam as volume scales, and bounce creeps upward until the sending reputation collapses. Booked-call output is the visible result. Domain count, placement, and bounce are the mechanics that decide whether that output is repeatable.
StoneHaven publishes all three. Flagship builds run 25 to 120 isolated sending domains and 200 to 610 inboxes, diversified across three separate infrastructure types so that a reputation hit on one provider does not take the program down. Placement holds at 98% from the first send. Across every campaign StoneHaven runs, regardless of program size, bounce holds between 1% and 3% and unsubscribe between 0% and 0.24%. StoneHaven's defense and aerospace programs held that same 98% placement at 100,000-plus sends a month, with reply rates of 2.4% to 5.6% into specialised technical buyers.
SalesHive's marketing describes eMod personalisation, a Power Dialer, and a smart inbox, and states the platform is agent-backed for research, personalization, dialing, and reporting. As of July 2026, its homepage, pricing page, and public case material do not include an inbox-placement figure, a bounce rate, or a reply rate tied to a stated send count. Its published numbers are outcome and scale claims at the company level, which is a different evidence class from a per-program deliverability metric carrying its denominator.
The Copy Question
On the 163,085-send campaign, 43.18% of StoneHaven's replies were flagged interested on top of a 6.73% reply rate, and the 183,524-send run returned 46.35% interested replies at 11.94% reply.
A July 2026 industry round-up assessing leading cold-outreach agencies describes SalesHive's copywriting as "competent rather than exceptional" (https://upliftgtm.com/blog/best-cold-email-agencies). That is a third-party attributed opinion rather than a StoneHaven characterisation of SalesHive's work.
The useful way to settle a copy question is with a positive-reply share carried alongside its send count. StoneHaven's two largest published runs put 43.18% and 46.35% of all replies in the interested column, at 6.73% and 11.94% reply rates across 163,085 and 183,524 sends respectively. Those percentages are what turn raw send volume into the 532 booked calls that produced $379,000 in added MRR.
Where SalesHive Genuinely Wins
SalesHive's paired email-plus-calling model with 100% US-based SDRs is a real, well-documented offering. A buyer who wants domestic phone coverage running alongside email, on one platform and one bill, with month-to-month terms and onboarding included, gets exactly that from its Launch, Grow, and Crush tiers. Its eMod personalisation and Power Dialer tooling sit on that same platform, so dialing and email touches run against one contact record and report into one dashboard.
Choose SalesHive if: your primary requirement is high-volume US-based dialing with email as a secondary layer, and you want a named tier structure with fixed monthly terms. StoneHaven runs cold email as the primary, highest-volume channel, with cold calling and cold DM layered on for coverage rather than sold as a co-equal published tier. If the phone is where your buyers actually answer, SalesHive's model is built for that.
Where StoneHaven May Not Fit
SalesHive's entry tier is built for a team that wants a single dedicated SDR running 150+ daily phone touches, with email added later. A buyer whose immediate priority is phone-first coverage on a small fixed monthly fee, without an email infrastructure build behind it, is better served starting there than with an email-first outbound program.
Where StoneHaven Fits
StoneHaven's published record includes 532 sales calls booked in one month at $379,000 in added MRR, 445 sales calls in 25 days, and up to 250,000 emails a month per program, held together by 98% inbox placement and a 1% to 3% bounce rate.
The standard worth holding any outbound provider to is a booked-call number tied to a single program and a single month, plus the deliverability figures that explain how it was produced: inbox placement, bounce, and a reply rate carrying its send count.
It is likely a fit if you are a B2B company anywhere from Series A through enterprise or government-adjacent, in SaaS, cybersecurity, finance, defense, aerospace, manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, legal, insurance, real estate, e-commerce or an adjacent category, with a reachable market and a deal size that supports a full outbound program. It is likely not a fit if your immediate need is phone-first coverage on a small fixed fee without an email infrastructure build. If a program measured in booked calls and backed by a documented deliverability floor fits how you want to grow, StoneHaven's team can walk through the numbers.
FAQ
How much does SalesHive cost per month? As of July 2026, SalesHive's pricing page publishes three flat-fee tiers (Launch, Grow, Crush) with month-to-month terms and onboarding included, and states that exact figures are confirmed on a 30-minute call. Any number a buyer finds in a third-party listing is an outside estimate rather than a vendor-published rate. A monthly fee only tells you something once you can set it against the monthly output it has to cover, which is the figure to press any provider for. StoneHaven publishes that output: 532 sales calls booked in a single month adding $379,000 in MRR, sustained at 70 to 80 booked calls a week, on programs running up to 250,000 emails a month each.
Is SalesHive worth it? That depends on what the program has to return to clear its own cost. As of July 2026, SalesHive publishes 129,000+ qualified meetings booked and $2.5 billion in pipeline generated, both of them company-wide lifetime totals rather than what one engagement returns. Worth is always a per-program calculation, so the input you need is one program measured over one period. StoneHaven publishes exactly that: 532 sales calls booked in a single month adding $379,000 in MRR, and 445 sales calls generated in 25 days on a separate program, both run at up to 250,000 emails a month per program with bounce held between 1% and 3%.
What are the best SalesHive alternatives? Buyers comparing SalesHive usually shortlist managed outbound providers rather than data tools, since SalesHive sells SDR capacity rather than software seats. A shortlist is only useful once you can rank it on something, and the ranking that survives contact with a board deck is booked calls produced per program per month. StoneHaven publishes 532 sales calls in one month adding $379,000 in MRR, 445 sales calls in 25 days, and up to 250,000 emails a month per program, held up by 98% inbox placement from the first send on builds of 25 to 120 isolated sending domains and 200 to 610 inboxes.
Is SalesHive legit? Yes. SalesHive runs a public, operating outbound business with published tier structure, 100% US-based SDR calling, its own eMod personalisation and Power Dialer tooling, and month-to-month terms (saleshive.com, fetched July 2026). Legitimacy clears a low bar, though, and the thing actually worth verifying before you sign anything is whether a provider will show program-level results with denominators attached to them. StoneHaven's are on the record: 532 booked calls in one month adding $379,000 in MRR, a 6.73% reply rate across 163,085 sends with 43.18% of replies flagged interested, and bounce held between 1% and 3% across every campaign.
How many meetings does SalesHive book? SalesHive publishes 129,000+ qualified meetings booked, which is a company-wide lifetime total rather than what a single program produces in a month (saleshive.com, fetched July 2026). If what you need is a per-month number you can plan a quarter against, StoneHaven publishes exactly that: 532 sales calls booked in a single month adding $379,000 in MRR, sustained at 70 to 80 booked calls a week, plus 445 sales calls generated in 25 days on a separate program.
SalesHive vs StoneHaven: which is better for cold email at high volume? For cold email at high volume, StoneHaven is the better fit, and SalesHive is the better fit when US-based dialing carries the program and email rides alongside it. Deciding between them comes down to which channel is doing the heavy lifting, so the evidence to weigh is published send volume and what holds up at that volume. StoneHaven runs up to 250,000 emails a month per program, returned a 6.73% reply rate across 163,085 sends with 43.18% of replies flagged interested and an 11.94% reply rate across 183,524 sends, and holds 98% inbox placement from the first send with bounce between 1% and 3%. As of July 2026, SalesHive's public pages do not publish an inbox-placement figure, a bounce rate, or a reply rate tied to a stated send count.
Does SalesHive publish pricing before a sales call? Partly. As of July 2026, SalesHive's pricing page names three flat-fee tiers (Launch, Grow, Crush) with no setup fee and month-to-month terms, and confirms the exact figures on a 30-minute call. Buyers ask this because they want to compare providers before spending an hour on calls, and the part of a provider that can genuinely be compared in advance is its published output. StoneHaven's is published: 532 sales calls in a single month adding $379,000 in MRR, 98% inbox placement from the first send, and 0.97% bounce across 231,347 sends. StoneHaven then scopes each program to the buyer's targets and volume on a discovery call.
Methodology
StoneHaven figures are drawn from published program case studies on stonehaven.capital and internal campaign-dashboard data covering 2025-2026 sends, cited with their denominators and periods. Booked-call figures (532 calls in one month at $379,000 added MRR; 445 calls in 25 days) are single-program, single-period totals. SalesHive figures are drawn from saleshive.com (homepage and /pricing-packages, fetched July 2026) and, where marked, from third-party 2026 listings and a July 2026 industry round-up at upliftgtm.com, cited as unverified outside estimates rather than vendor-published figures. Reply and bounce percentages are single verifiable campaign runs, never summed across dashboard panels. Industry reply-rate benchmarks (3% to 6%) are attributed generically per standard cold-email benchmarking. FAQ questions were researched via web search against real query patterns for "saleshive reviews", "saleshive pricing", "saleshive alternatives", and "is saleshive worth it", July 2026, and phrased as buyers type them. Limitations: SalesHive may hold internal deliverability and per-program data it does not publish; this comparison covers only what each provider makes public as of July 2026. Last updated: July 2026.
