Artisan
Hire Ava, an autonomous AI BDR that finds and enriches leads, runs personalized outbound, handles replies, and books meetings.
Quote-based pricing
Bottom line
Autonomous AI BDR (Ava): find, enrich, outbound, replies, meetings. Sales-quoted; the vendor does not publish a price grid.
Stands out for: Ava as an AI employee for outbound (HubSpot, Salesforce, Slack named), sold like headcount, not like Instantly.
Watch out for: Pricing is not published. Confirm the current credit pack on a demo before you budget.
Overview
Artisan sells Ava, an autonomous AI BDR that finds and enriches leads, runs personalized outbound, handles replies, and books meetings. HubSpot, Salesforce, and Slack are named on the pricing page. It is outreach plus contact data, not an ATS.
Pricing is sales-quoted; the vendor does not publish a pricing grid. Team, Scale and Enterprise plans scale with lead volume, mailboxes, and dialer seats. No free trial is advertised. Confirm the plan that fits on a call.
