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

Clay

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.

Not the right fit for

Teams that need Clay to send the email
Buyers who want a cheap single-finder
