Kalungi review
A B2B SaaS specialist that pairs fractional CMO leadership with an execution bench and publishes unusually concrete pipeline, MQL, outbound, hiring, and handoff outcomes.
No published price we can link to. We do not estimate one — ask on the call, and see the pricing-transparency line in the scores below.
Verdict
Kalungi is the clearest specialist for a B2B SaaS company that needs both executive ownership and a team that can build the engine. Named cases show a 135% increase in pipeline value, 220% quarter-over-quarter growth in outbound qualified opportunities, and a fully onboarded internal marketing team. The model is narrower than a general fractional CMO firm and may be overbuilt for non-SaaS or advisory-only needs. Tie fees to a six-month roadmap, named executive time, pipeline definitions, and a written in-house transition.

What other platforms say
The public proof is unusually outcome-specific for SaaS, but much of it is vendor-published rather than independently audited.
These are other platforms' numbers, not ours. We report them because they are part of the picture, and we do not average them into our score — our score comes from the published rubric above.
