Head to head

AltaHQ vs Artisan

Same facts, side by side: starting price, free tier, MCP, API and what each one is actually built for.

AltaHQ

Sales-quoted

AI revenue platform with outbound, inbound, and calling agents. Pricing is sales-quoted.

Where AltaHQ fits

  • SDR teams that want AI to cover inbound overflow
  • Outbound shops running signal-based sequences
  • RevOps teams that want one agent stack, not five tools
  • Companies willing to wait on a custom proposal

Autonomous AI BDR (Ava): find, enrich, outbound, replies, meetings. Listed around $600/mo; the vendor does not publish a price grid.

Where Artisan fits

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

Where they pull apart

AltaHQ

Stands out: Agents that run inbound, outbound, and calls on one revenue platform, with CRM connections included.

Watch out: There is no public dollar menu. You submit a quote form and wait for a custom proposal.

Not the right fit for

  • Buyers who need a printed monthly rate
  • Solo reps who want self-serve checkout today

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

AltaHQ

  • Inbound, outbound, and calling agents
  • CRM connections included in the quote
  • White-glove onboarding in the package
  • No public dollar prices

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 will stack on top of $600
  • Not a cheap Instantly alternative
