These comparisons draw on public product information, not hands-on testing of every tool. Source records identify available references and checks; missing evidence is marked. Buyer fit is an editorial assessment, not a measured performance score. How to use this research.

A B2B SaaS marketing agency is an outside team hired to generate pipeline for software companies that sell to businesses. Engagements range from a single channel, most often paid search and paid social, to a fully outsourced marketing department with its own senior leadership. Agencies in this segment usually report against qualified opportunities, pipeline and revenue in the client’s CRM rather than clicks or traffic, and many now add visibility in AI answer engines to their search work.

The eight agencies compared here fall into three groups. Kalungi and Gripped offer outsourced, multi-channel marketing teams at published price points. SimpleTiger, Powered by Search and Directive combine search, including AI search, with paid media and operations. Hey Digital, GrowthSpree and SaaS Hero specialise in paid acquisition, with GrowthSpree and SaaS Hero publishing flat fees. Pricing notes were checked against each agency’s own website in September 2026, and results quoted are the agencies’ own reporting. Entries with dated source checks appear first; that records research readiness, not agency quality or a ranking.

Agency details and trade-offs

Kalungi

kalungi.com ↗
Consider forB2B SaaS companies between about US$5 million and US$50 million in ARR that want to outsource the whole marketing function, leadership included
Pricing notesFull-service engagement US$50,000+ per month; Syntropy and T2D3 tiers quote-based (checked Sep 2026)
Service distinctionSells a complete outsourced marketing department, led by an Associate CMO, that it says replaces 8 to 12 internal hires

Kalungi is a B2B SaaS marketing agency based in Kirkland, Washington. Its homepage describes the offer as "GTM-as-a-service": an outsourced marketing department of SaaS specialists trained on the agency's T2D3 playbook, which the site says has been purchased more than 14,000 times. The homepage states that more than 150 SaaS companies have worked with Kalungi.

The agency sells three levels of engagement. In the full-service tier, senior leadership and a full execution team take accountability for results, and a pay-per-performance option is available. The homepage marks it as best value for SaaS companies at US$5 million to US$10 million ARR, while the dedicated service page addresses SaaS leaders at US$5 million to US$50 million ARR. Syntropy is a lighter model in which Kalungi provides senior go-to-market leadership and the client keeps execution in-house, aimed at teams between US$1 million and US$5 million ARR. T2D3 is a self-service tier of playbooks, templates and decision logic for pre-product-market-fit and seed-stage companies, with CMO coaching available.

The full-service page is specific about staffing and price. It lists an Associate CMO plus a full execution team, says the engagement replaces 8 to 12 internal hires, asks for two to five hours a week of leadership time, and states a price of US$50,000 or more a month. It says results typically emerge by month three and compound through months four to six.

Case summaries on the homepage are all software companies. The site reports that DataGuard reached US$4 million in pipeline and 330 per cent MQL growth in under six months, that CPGvision added US$4.7 million in pipeline, that Patch grew MQLs 1,500 per cent, and that Beezy generated US$2 million in qualified pipeline. These are the agency's own figures and were not independently verified for this page.

Kalungi fits funded SaaS companies that would rather buy a marketing department than build one, and that have the budget for a five-figure monthly retainer. Earlier-stage teams are steered to the Syntropy or T2D3 tiers.

Potential strengths

  • Three engagement levels, from playbook self-service to a fully outsourced team, mapped to ARR stage
  • Named SaaS case studies include DataGuard, CPGvision, Patch, Beezy and Botdojo

Trade-offs

  • The published full-service rate of US$50,000+ a month is the highest floor in this comparison
  • Syntropy and T2D3 tiers do not show a price on the pages checked

SimpleTiger

Consider forB2B SaaS and AI companies that want SEO, AI search visibility, paid ads and lifecycle email managed as one pipeline programme
Pricing notesPackages quote-based; SEO packages start at 5 per cent of revenue or funding (checked Sep 2026)
Service distinctionTracks AI share of voice alongside traditional rankings, and frames its service as demand creation, capture and nurture run as one system

SimpleTiger positions itself as a B2B SaaS marketing agency with a lead in AI search. Its homepage describes the offer as a "pipeline engine" and groups work into three stages. Demand creation covers paid social, SEO, answer engine optimisation, content and authority building. Demand capture covers high-intent organic and AI search, paid search, display and conversion-focused money pages. Demand nurture covers email sequences, remarketing, lifecycle content and revenue attribution.

Search visibility is the core service. The homepage says the agency combines traditional SEO with generative and answer engine optimisation so that clients are cited in Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Gemini, and that it reports on both rankings and AI share of voice. Content is built around buyer intent, with comparison pages, use-case pages, integration guides and technical content listed as examples. Link building and paid search and social management complete the service list.

The pricing page sets out two ladders. Pipeline packages run from Pipeline Startup, which is foundational SEO and AI search work with attribution, through Launch, Growth and Control to Pipeline Enterprise, which adds lifecycle email and embedded strategy. Standalone SEO and GEO packages are named Kickstart, Scale, Accelerate and Dominate. Every package includes Slack access, a project portal on Monday, performance reporting and a client account manager. No dollar prices are shown. The page instead states that each SEO package starts at 5 per cent of revenue or funding, against what it gives as an industry average of at least 8 per cent. Paid ads and web design are quoted after a demo.

The homepage headline claim is US$3 million in revenue at a 41 to 1 return in under 10 months through AI and organic search. A testimonial comes from the chief branding officer at Gelato. These figures are the agency's own.

SimpleTiger fits SaaS teams whose main acquisition channel is, or should be, search, and who want AI answer visibility measured alongside organic rankings and paid media.

Potential strengths

  • Five pipeline packages and four SEO and GEO packages are described on a public pricing page
  • SEO and AI search optimisation sit alongside paid search, paid social and lifecycle email

Trade-offs

  • No dollar amounts are published; the only price guide is a percentage of revenue or funding
  • Paid ads and web design are quoted only after a demo

Hey Digital

Consider forB2B SaaS companies that want paid search and paid social run by a specialist that works only with SaaS, with creative produced in-house
Pricing notesQuote-based; no rate published (checked Sep 2026)
Service distinctionWorks exclusively with B2B SaaS and states it manages more than US$2.3 million in monthly ad spend

Hey Digital is a performance marketing agency that states it works with B2B SaaS "and only B2B SaaS". The homepage says the agency has worked with more than 200 B2B SaaS companies across growth stages and manages more than US$2.3 million in monthly ad spend for them.

The service is paid acquisition end to end. The homepage divides the work into strategy, execution, creative and reporting. Strategy covers channel and go-to-market planning, ideal customer profile and account-based targeting, and budget allocation and forecasting. Its PPC page lists the channels it runs as LinkedIn, Google, Meta, YouTube, Microsoft and Bing, Reddit, Capterra and G2. Creative is produced in-house, with strategy, copy, design and iteration under one roof so that ads stay aligned with SaaS messaging.

Account structure is described in some detail. Each client is led by a senior B2B SaaS strategist as the main contact, supported by a team across strategy, creative and execution, with dedicated project managers and day-to-day communication in Slack. The agency states that it optimises for pipeline, qualified opportunities and revenue rather than traffic or free signups.

The homepage carries client testimonials with reported results. One head of marketing is quoted on proving paid ROI to the chief revenue officer, alongside a 52 per cent reduction in ad spend and a 159 per cent increase in deal value. A growth marketing manager is quoted on a 119 per cent rise in signups and a 54 per cent reduction in cost per acquisition. These are the agency's own figures.

Hey Digital does not publish fees, ad spend minimums or contract terms on the pages checked; prospects are directed to book a call. Buyers should ask how the management fee is calculated and whether it varies with ad spend.

Hey Digital fits SaaS companies that already have product-market fit and want a paid media partner with SaaS-only experience and in-house creative, rather than a full-service marketing team.

Potential strengths

  • Client base is limited to B2B SaaS, with more than 200 SaaS accounts stated
  • Strategy, copy, design and creative testing are handled in-house

Trade-offs

  • Paid media is the focus; SEO and content are not the core service
  • No pricing, minimum ad spend or contract term is published

GrowthSpree

Consider forB2B SaaS companies that want Google, LinkedIn and Meta ads, ABM and RevOps for a flat fee on month-to-month terms
Pricing notesFlat-fee retainer from US$3,000 per month, no percentage-of-spend fee (checked Sep 2026)
Service distinctionCharges a flat fee regardless of ad spend and states month-to-month contracts

GrowthSpree describes itself as an AI-native marketing agency for B2B SaaS. Its about page lists four co-founders and offices in Noida, India and New Hyde Park, New York. The homepage states more than 300 B2B SaaS clients, more than US$60 million of ad spend managed, Google Partner and HubSpot Solutions Partner status, and a 4.9 out of 5 rating from B2B SaaS teams on G2.

The service combines Google Ads, LinkedIn Ads, Meta Ads, account-based marketing, demand generation and revenue operations, managed as one system optimised toward pipeline and closed-won revenue recorded in the CRM rather than lead volume. The homepage says senior operators run accounts with support from the agency's own AI tooling, which it describes as MCP servers and a system it calls the QLA.

Pricing is the agency's main differentiator. The homepage lists a flat monthly fee on month-to-month terms, and a pricing guide published on the agency's blog in March 2026 states that GrowthSpree uses a flat-fee retainer starting at US$3,000 a month, with no percentage-of-spend fee. The same article argues that percentage-of-spend pricing rewards agencies for higher spend rather than better results. The fee is not listed on a dedicated pricing page, so buyers should confirm the current rate and scope in writing.

The homepage names client results by company. It reports that PriceLabs moved from 0.7 to 2.5 times return on ad spend over nine months while scaling Google Ads spend to US$180,000 a month, that Rocketlane cut cost per demo 36 per cent, that Hubilo grew to US$250,000 of monthly pipeline, and that Gumlet reached 6.5 times return on ad spend on LinkedIn within 60 days. Atomicwork is cited for US$750,000 of pipeline from paid search, LinkedIn and ABM. These figures are the agency's own.

GrowthSpree fits seed to Series B SaaS companies that want paid acquisition and ABM without a long contract or a fee that rises with ad budget.

Potential strengths

  • Lowest published starting fee in this comparison, with no percentage-of-spend charge
  • Named SaaS results include PriceLabs, Rocketlane, Hubilo and Gumlet

Trade-offs

  • Focus is paid acquisition and ABM; SEO and content are not the core offer
  • The starting fee is published in a blog article rather than on a pricing page

Gripped

Consider forUK and European B2B SaaS, AI and tech companies between about £2 million and £20 million ARR that want demand generation, paid media, SEO and GEO from one agency
Pricing notesFrom £3,500 per month plus project fees; channel support from £7,500; full demand generation from £15,000 (checked Sep 2026)
Service distinctionPublishes both its tier floors and the range most clients pay, stated as £8,000 to £12,000 a month

Gripped is a B2B digital marketing agency in London for SaaS, AI and technology companies. Its about page says it was founded in 2017 by people who had scaled B2B SaaS businesses and could not find an agency that understood pipeline and subscription selling. The homepage states that the agency has worked with more than 160 SaaS, AI and tech companies.

The service list covers go-to-market strategy, demand generation, account-based marketing, paid search on Google and Bing, paid social on LinkedIn and other networks, SEO, generative engine optimisation and website design and development. The homepage says the work is built around the buying group behind a deal rather than a single form fill and is judged on pipeline rather than lead volume. It names its audience as SaaS, AI and tech companies at £2 million to £20 million ARR, particularly heads of marketing at Series A and B companies. Reported results include a 252 per cent increase in opportunity value from Google search ads and £1.3 million of new pipeline in one quarter from paid search and social; these are the agency's own figures.

Gripped publishes its pricing. The lowest tier starts at £3,500 a month plus project fees, giving experienced in-house teams strategic guidance or access to a specialist. Channel support in one or two areas such as paid search, paid social, SEO or content starts at £7,500 a month. Full demand generation, in which Gripped acts as the outsourced marketing team across strategy, paid media, content, SEO, conversion work, marketing operations and sales alignment, starts at £15,000 a month. The page adds that a typical investment is £5,000 to £15,000 a month and that most marketing leaders spend £8,000 to £12,000. Fees are a fixed monthly retainer; paid media budgets are billed separately, with typical ad budgets given as £5,000 to £150,000 or more a month.

Gripped fits UK-based or UK-selling SaaS companies past early revenue that want one agency for paid, organic and AI search at a published price.

Potential strengths

  • Three published price tiers, plus a typical spend range and guidance on ad budgets
  • Services span go-to-market strategy, ABM, paid search, paid social, SEO, GEO and website builds

Trade-offs

  • Prices are in sterling and the named ICP is SaaS from £2 million ARR, so very early startups sit outside the stated fit
  • Named clients are not listed on the about page checked

Pricing notesGrowth Team US$4,500 per month, or US$6,000 with creative, for up to US$10,000 monthly ad spend (checked Sep 2026)
Service distinctionPublishes a full price list, including per-page landing page and per-asset creative rates

SaaS Hero is a performance marketing agency focused on SaaS. Its homepage says the client base is SaaS, B2B and professional services companies growing ARR through paid ads, and its FAQ states that SaaS is the main focus while other B2B companies are also accepted.

The service covers paid search and paid social, landing page design and conversion rate optimisation, ad creative, conversion tracking and reporting. Channels named include Google, Microsoft, LinkedIn, Meta, Quora, Reddit and the Gartner network, which includes Capterra. Reporting is built inside the client's CRM so that revenue can be attributed to campaigns. The homepage states that clients generally see SQLs triple within 90 days and that campaigns usually go live three to four weeks after kickoff. These are the agency's own claims.

Two engagement models are described. A Campaign Manager engagement is ads execution by a specialist. A Full Marketing Team engagement adds a senior strategist, a project manager and a heavier strategy cadence.

The pricing page is fully public. The Growth Team retainer costs US$4,500 a month for up to US$10,000 of monthly ad spend and includes a senior account strategist, project manager and campaign manager across all ad channels. Growth Team plus Creative costs US$6,000 a month and adds a designer, eight new creatives and two custom landing pages at onboarding. Programmatic SEO is a US$5,000 monthly add-on or US$6,000 standalone. Landing pages cost US$750 or US$950 each, and static, motion and UGC-style creative is priced per asset. The pricing page states one three-month agreement billed monthly with no long-term lock-in; the homepage FAQ describes month-to-month agreements with discounts for three and six month commitments, so buyers should confirm the term in the proposal.

SaaS Hero fits smaller SaaS teams that want paid acquisition and landing pages at a known price and a short commitment.

Potential strengths

  • Retainer, add-on and creative prices are all published
  • Revenue attribution reporting is built inside the client's CRM

Trade-offs

  • Published retainers cover up to US$10,000 of monthly ad spend; larger budgets need a quote
  • Paid media is the core; SEO is offered only as a programmatic SEO add-on

Pricing notesQuote-based; no rate published (checked Sep 2026)
Service distinctionRuns its own AI platform, Stratos, which unifies CRM, paid media, SEO and operations data for client decisions

Directive is an independent B2B marketing agency founded in 2013. Its homepage states more than 100 marketing strategists, more than 420 brands served and more than US$1 billion of revenue generated for clients. Logos shown include Calendly, Gong, Adobe, Cisco and Uber Freight.

The agency is organised in three divisions. Performance covers content marketing, paid media, performance creative, programmatic, revenue operations and startup packages. Commerce covers marketplace advertising, lifecycle marketing and shopping campaigns. Communications covers PR, influencer marketing and paid and organic social. Its planning framework, DiscoverabilityOS, is described as connecting brand and demand around qualified pipeline, and its Stratos platform brings CRM, paid media, SEO and operations data together to guide client decisions.

Technology is one of three industry groups, alongside industrial and services. The technology page says Directive builds pipeline for tech companies through go-to-market execution, performance creative and demand strategy, and speaks directly to competing in saturated SaaS markets. It lists paid media, content and SEO, conversion and performance design, revenue operations and go-to-market strategy as the services for technology clients, and names Arctic Wolf, Wiz, Pindrop and Zscaler as companies it has helped. Directive also appears in the StatWharf comparison of SEO agencies, where its content and SEO division is covered in more detail.

Directive does not publish fees, minimum budgets or contract terms on the pages checked; engagements begin with a call. Its size and breadth suit companies that want several channels handled by one partner, but buyers looking for a SaaS-only boutique will find the client base wider.

Directive fits mid-market and enterprise B2B software companies, especially in security and cloud, that want paid, organic and RevOps planned together and measured in CRM pipeline.

Potential strengths

  • Covers paid media, content and SEO, creative, CRO, RevOps and go-to-market strategy in one agency
  • Technology clients named include Arctic Wolf, Wiz, Pindrop and Zscaler

Trade-offs

  • Serves industrial and services companies as well as technology, so SaaS is one vertical among several
  • No pricing, minimum budget or contract term is published

Frequently asked questions

What does a B2B SaaS marketing agency do?

It plans and runs marketing for software companies that sell to businesses, measured against pipeline and revenue rather than traffic. Scope ranges from a single channel, such as paid search and paid social, to a fully outsourced marketing team covering strategy, content, SEO, AI search visibility, paid media, account-based marketing and marketing operations.

How much do B2B SaaS marketing agencies cost?

Among the agencies here that publish prices, GrowthSpree starts at US$3,000 a month, SaaS Hero at US$4,500, Powered by Search at US$6,000 for paid media on monthly billing, and Gripped at £3,500 plus project fees. Kalungi's full-service tier is US$50,000 or more a month. SimpleTiger ties SEO packages to 5 per cent of revenue or funding. Hey Digital and Directive quote per engagement. Ad spend is billed on top.

Should a SaaS company hire a full-service agency or a channel specialist?

It depends on the in-house team. Kalungi and Gripped's top tier act as an outsourced marketing department, which suits companies without senior marketing staff. Hey Digital, GrowthSpree and SaaS Hero focus on paid acquisition, and SimpleTiger leads with search, which suits teams that already have strategy in-house and need one channel run well.

Which agencies here offer GEO or AI search visibility work?

SimpleTiger reports AI share of voice across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini and AI Overviews. Powered by Search sells an SEO and LLM ranking service, and Gripped lists GEO as a service line. Directive covers SEO through its content division. The paid media specialists in this comparison do not lead with AI search work.

Do B2B SaaS marketing agencies require long contracts?

Less often than general agencies. GrowthSpree states month-to-month terms, SaaS Hero states a single three-month agreement billed monthly, and Powered by Search offers monthly or lower-priced quarterly billing. Kalungi, Hey Digital, SimpleTiger and Directive do not publish a minimum term on the pages checked, so buyers should ask for it in writing.

Is ad spend included in agency fees?

No agency here includes media spend in its fee. Gripped states that paid media budgets are separate from the retainer. GrowthSpree and SaaS Hero charge flat fees rather than a percentage of spend, although SaaS Hero's published retainers apply up to US$10,000 of monthly ad spend. Buyers should confirm whether fees change as budgets grow.

Which agencies here work only with SaaS companies?

Hey Digital states it works with B2B SaaS only. Kalungi and GrowthSpree describe their client base as SaaS. SimpleTiger and Gripped focus on SaaS, AI and tech. SaaS Hero focuses on SaaS but also accepts other B2B companies, and Powered by Search and Directive serve B2B companies more broadly with software as a major share of published work.

How should this comparison be used?

Use the documented client fit, published pricing and contract terms to shortlist two or three agencies, then ask each for a scoped proposal, named team members, comparable SaaS case studies and references. Results quoted on this page are the agencies' own reporting. The page records public source checks of each agency's website, not hands-on engagement or vendor confirmation.
