Where they pull apart

AiSDR

Stands out: A public $1.50 per person pay-as-you-go plan with HubSpot, Salesforce, Close, Clay and Calendly named, and cancel-anytime terms.

Watch out: Team plans for 1,000+ people a month are priced on volume through sales. No free trial is named. Per-campaign managed service is extra.

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 testing pay as you go

Artisan

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.

Not the right fit for

  • People who need a $29 sequencer
  • Teams that refuse autonomous outbound
  • Buyers who need a published price today

Pros and cons

AiSDR

  • Public $1.50 per person pay-as-you-go price instead of a pure quote
  • HubSpot, Salesforce, Close, Clay named
  • Sign up without a credit card
  • No free trial
  • Team plans are sales-quoted on volume
  • Per-person billing adds up at volume

Artisan

  • Full-cycle AI BDR rather than a sequencer with a writer
  • HubSpot, Salesforce, Slack named
  • Sold as headcount replacement, which is the honest frame
  • No published pricing grid
  • Credits and mailboxes are scoped into the quote
  • Not a cheap Instantly alternative
