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

Needle

Stands out: One plan with every frontier model included, and bring-your-own LLM keys that do not use credits.

Watch out: Billing is per connected account, and Enterprise (51+ accounts) is custom priced. Lead lists are included with no credit meter.

Not the right fit for

Buyers who want a free plan after the trial
