The short answer

  • Artisan : Ava autonomous BDR if Ami is the other AI-employee quote. From $600/mo
  • Amplemarket : AI sales platform from $600 with a trial if you want data plus sequences in one login. From $600/mo
  • Salesforge : Cheaper AI email plus LinkedIn if $250 is the wrong altitude. From $48/mo
  • Clay : DIY signal-to-sequence if you do not want an AI SDR brand. From $185/mo

Why people look past AiSDR

Explore is $900/mo and Scale $2,500. There is no free trial; the vendor says warmup makes a 30-day window pointless. Per-campaign managed service is extra.

What we noted

  • No free trial
  • Explore/Scale are $900/$2,500
  • 200 contacts on Solo is not a team motion

Not the right fit for

  • People who need a $40 sequencer
  • Teams that insist on a free trial
  • Enterprises that want a fully managed $2,500 desk on day one without knowing Solo

Worth keeping in mind: A public $250 Solo plan (200 AI-researched contacts) with HubSpot, Salesforce, Close, Clay and Calendly named, and cancel-anytime terms.

What each one does differently

Artisan

$600/mo

Why it comes up: Ava autonomous BDR if Ami is the other AI-employee quote.

Stands out: Ava as an AI employee for outbound (HubSpot, Salesforce, Slack named), sold like headcount, not like Instantly.

Watch out: Pricing is not published. Confirm the current credit pack on a demo before you budget.

Best for

  • GTM teams replacing an SDR with an agent
  • HubSpot or Salesforce shops
  • Companies that will buy credits plus a mailbox stack

Amplemarket

$600/mo Free trial MCP

Why it comes up: AI sales platform from $600 with a trial if you want data plus sequences in one login.

Stands out: Contact data plus intent plus sequences plus a first-party MCP (Salesforce, HubSpot, Outreach, Salesloft, Zapier, Clay named): one login instead of six.

Watch out: $600/mo annual is 2 users. Additional users cost extra. This is not a $29 Instantly alternative.

Best for

  • Outbound teams that want data and send in one platform
  • Salesforce or HubSpot shops
  • Buyers who want a trial before $600

Salesforge

$48/mo Free trial

Why it comes up: Cheaper AI email plus LinkedIn if $250 is the wrong altitude.

Stands out: Agent-written sequences across email and LinkedIn, with a public $48 rung and a 14-day trial (HubSpot, Salesforce, Clay, Slack named).

Watch out: The entry plan allows one LinkedIn sender. Unlimited senders are $96/mo billed monthly, or $80/mo billed annually. The AI agent is a $499 add, not the entry seat.

Best for

  • Outbound teams that want AI copy plus LinkedIn
  • Clay-connected GTM shops
  • Buyers who will take a 14-day trial

Clay

$185/mo Free tier 14 day free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: DIY signal-to-sequence if you do not want an AI SDR brand.

Stands out: 150+ provider waterfall plus Claygent on every row, with MCP and API.

Watch out: Not a sender. Paid plans start at $185/mo on Launch, CRM sync needs Growth from $495/mo, and credit burn adds up.

Best for

  • Sourcers building enriched spreadsheets
  • Teams chaining many data vendors
  • Desks that want Claygent research columns
