Klenty reviews from SDR teams: fast support, integration hiccups, a learning curve
G2 and Capterra scores are those their search results showed in November 2026; Trustpilot and Chrome Web Store figures come from their own listings. G2 holds most of what Klenty’s users have written: 4.6 out of 5 over about 387 reviews.
What reviewers praise
- Support: Capterra users rate customer service 4.8 out of 5, and Klenty promises help 24/5 with a first reply within 2.5 minutes
- Automation: cadences that keep running once set up, a strength G2’s review summaries name
- Ease of use at 4.5 and value for money at 4.5 out of 5 on Capterra
What reviewers flag
- Integration problems with CRMs and other tools, named in G2’s review summaries
- Features some teams miss, and a learning curve before the cadences run smoothly
- Only 2 reviews on Trustpilot, too few to read anything into its 3.0
Prices that look attractive: let’s see what they hide
Klenty promises unlimited mailboxes from $60 a month, billed quarterly, three months upfront. The trap: connecting your mailboxes is the most tedious step, and only once they are plugged in do you discover the caps on contacts and emails. With 100 mailboxes connected, the Starter 25K plan really runs only about 32, barely a third. The Starter 15K plan, barely 19.
The yardstick: a mailbox normally sends to 35 new contacts a day, and 100 emails a day in all, follow-ups included. Over a month of 22 working days, one mailbox is therefore about 770 new contacts and 2,200 emails.
The Starter 25K plan caps at 25,000 contacts and 125,000 emails a month: enough to run about 32 mailboxes. Beyond that, the next tier is the only way on: $150 a month for 50,000 contacts, so $450 paid in one go for the quarter.
At Emelia, Grow at $97 a month connects 50 mailboxes, with no limit on contacts or on emails sent. Scale, at $297 a month, goes up to 1,000 mailboxes.
What unlimited pricing hides
15,000 contacts ÷ 770 per mailbox ≈ 19.5; 75,000 emails ÷ 2,200 per mailbox ≈ 34.1: about 19 mailboxes before a cap stops you.
25,000 contacts ÷ 770 per mailbox ≈ 32.5; 125,000 emails ÷ 2,200 per mailbox ≈ 56.8: about 32 mailboxes before a cap stops you.
50,000 contacts ÷ 770 per mailbox ≈ 64.9; 250,000 emails ÷ 2,200 per mailbox ≈ 113.6: about 65 mailboxes before a cap stops you.
100,000 contacts ÷ 770 per mailbox ≈ 129.9; 500,000 emails ÷ 2,200 per mailbox ≈ 227.3: about 130 mailboxes before a cap stops you.
How we count
Contact cap ÷ 770 and email cap ÷ 2,200 per mailbox: the lower result wins. Klenty does not say whether a monthly contact is a new one, an active one or one stored in the account; the count here takes the reading most favourable to Klenty, new contacts only.
Quarterly prices on Klenty’s pricing page (https://www.klenty.com/sales-engagement-platform/pricing/), shown per month; Klenty has no monthly billing. Checked on November 3, 2026.
When the cap is reached
Klenty does not publish what happens once the monthly contact tier is used up. What its grid does show: going further means the next tier, paid for a whole quarter or a year, even if the extra contacts are only needed for one campaign.
At Emelia
50 mailboxes for $97 a month on Grow, with no cap on contacts or on emails sent. Scale goes up to 1,000 mailboxes (fair use).
Klenty HubSpot integration from Growth, API documentation from Starter
Native CRM sync is a Growth feature. From that plan, Klenty connects to Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Zoho CRM and MS Dynamics, with two-way field mapping, triggers and actions, automatic import and export, and a “CRM Plugin” that brings Klenty into the CRM itself. HubSpot is one of the five, with the same two-way sync.
Starter has no native CRM. Its team gets API, Zapier and CSV instead: Zapier with 9 triggers and 10 actions, or the REST API, listed as “API Connections” on the pricing page.
Klenty documents its API in its help centre. Requests go to api.klenty.com with the key in an x-API-key header, in GET and POST, and list requests return up to 1,000 records at a time; webhooks are available too. Klenty gives no figure for its rate limits.
Around the CRM, Klenty plugs into Gong, Slack, Calendly, Google Sheets, Segment, SendGrid and Hippo Video. At Emelia, a CRM integration and the API come with every plan, Start included (100 API requests a minute on Start, 1,000 on Scale, several CRMs on Scale).
Klenty features, phone first: parallel dialling, cadences, Prospect IQ
Klenty’s own tagline, “The Sales Engagement Platform Built For Phone-First SDR Teams”, sums up the order of its features: calls first, everything else around them. Emelia has no dialer and no calling minutes, so the call features below have no counterpart on its side.
Parallel and power dialling
The dialer rings up to 5 prospects at once according to the Sales Dialer page (another Klenty page says 10 lines). Growth includes 200 calling minutes per user a month and Plus 1,000; the power and parallel dialers are a $45 add-on per user a month on the sales engagement plans.
Local presence
Dynamic Presence gives each seat 350+ local numbers across 335 US area codes, for $50 per seat a month, billed yearly. Each extra US number costs $1.15 a month.
Multichannel cadences
Email, call, SMS and task steps in one cadence, with conditions, A/B tests and AI-written “Agentic Cadences” to approve before they run. LinkedIn and WhatsApp steps are tasks, WhatsApp only on Plus.
Prospect IQ data
A people and company search with filters (title, seniority, headcount, revenue, technologies, location), drawn from what Klenty calls 500 million contacts and 35 million company records. Revealing an email costs 1 credit, a phone number 1, and the credits reset every month.
Call coaching
On Plus: live transcription, AI battlecards during calls and scorecards afterwards, plus account-based selling and team goals.
PlusA dialer sold on its own
Sales Dialer is a separate product without the cadences: Basic $50, Pro $100 and Scale $170 per user a month on quarterly billing, with 500 minutes, 2,000 minutes or unlimited US calling.
3, 50, 100 or 200 mailboxes at full pace: which Starter tier covers them
Each row starts from the mailboxes an Emelia plan connects. Every mailbox sends at Emelia’s quotas (35 new contacts and 100 emails a day, over 22 working days, so 770 contacts and 2,200 emails a month each); Klenty charges the Starter tier that holds both totals. Klenty sells no month on its own: its figure is the quarterly price shown per month, paid three months at a time. Tier by tier, with the yearly prices, on the Klenty pricing page.
Cold email at full pace, prices per month
3 mailboxes (≈ 2,310 new contacts and 6,600 emails a month)
50 mailboxes (≈ 38,500 new contacts and 110,000 emails a month)
100 mailboxes (≈ 77,000 new contacts and 220,000 emails a month)
200 mailboxes (≈ 154,000 new contacts and 440,000 emails a month)
Klenty’s pricing page promises unlimited users and mailboxes on Starter. Two help articles are stricter: up to 3 email accounts on that plan, and 500 emails a day “irrespective of the plans”, with up to 2 paid add-ons of 500 more each, at a price Klenty does not publish. The table keeps the pricing page, the reading most favourable to Klenty. Emelia caps neither contacts nor emails sent. Amounts excluding tax; Klenty’s prices as of November 3, 2026.
Example: 50 mailboxes sending at full pace.

Prospecting on LinkedIn too? Klenty queues tasks, Emelia runs the campaigns
If email is all you send, skip this part. Klenty’s LinkedIn steps exist from Growth upwards and its help centre calls them “semi-automated”: the cadence schedules a task for each prospect, then someone clicks through them one at a time while the Chrome extension performs each action in a browser where LinkedIn is open. Each Emelia plan already counts its LinkedIn accounts, 1, 3 or 10 from Start to Scale, with more at $29 each a month, and the campaigns run on Emelia’s servers once the account is connected through the Chrome extension.

Plans that include LinkedIn
Klenty bills Growth and Plus per user, with calling minutes included; it publishes no price for LinkedIn on its own, so this table compares what each tool does, not a price.
What Klenty looks like
Klenty FAQ
The official website is klenty.com; its “Log in” link opens the web app at app.klenty.com. The Gmail extension works inside Gmail, and the CRM plugin inside Pipedrive, Salesforce and Freshsales, around that same app.
The legal entity is KlentySoft, Inc. Its About page says “HQ in California, Built in Chennai, India”, and its llms.txt file gives a US address in Walnut, California. Klenty does not date its own launch; a 2023 profile by IIM Bangalore says it was established in 2015. It claims 80+ team members and 5,000+ customers in 45 countries.
No. The pricing page offers “Annually” and “Quarterly” only, both paid upfront: Starter starts at $60 a month on quarterly billing, so $180 per quarter. Every tier and option is on the Klenty pricing page.
Klenty’s help centre caps sending at 500 emails a day, per address in one article and for all connected addresses together in another. It spaces two emails by 120 seconds by default (300 at most) and two emails to the same prospect by 12 hours by default, 4 at the shortest. For a mailbox that has been blocked, it advises fewer than 50 emails in the first week, then a climb towards 250. One feature page promises automatic warm-up, but no plan on the pricing page lists it.
“Klenty: Email Outreach & Tracking from Gmail” (1,000 users, 4.5 from 21 ratings) sends and tracks emails from Gmail, adds contacts to cadences and carries the CRM plugin for Pipedrive, Salesforce and Freshsales. It is also what performs the LinkedIn tasks, one at a time. Linkport, the add-on Klenty’s help centre cites for finding emails and numbers on LinkedIn, does not show up in the Chrome Web Store. On a LinkedIn profile, Emelia’s extension looks up that person’s email and phone number, spends credits only for what it returns, and can drop the person straight into a campaign.
Teams that mostly send email and work LinkedIn look at Emelia first, then at senders priced by volume and at multichannel tools billed per user. Each one is set against the Starter, Growth or Plus plan it replaces on the Klenty alternatives page.
