$49/mo Free tier Free trial MCP API
Why it comes up: Apollo bundles a contact database and sequencer from $49/mo with a free tier, while Regie Pro is $49/mo of AI credits without a first-party people graph.
Stands out: A large people database plus email sequences in one login, with MCP and a Chrome extension.
Watch out: Data quality varies by segment, and it does not match enterprise tools for intent data and org charts.
Best for
- Outbound recruiting and sales on one database
- Teams that want free-tier access to start
- Desks that need sequences next to the data

$47/mo Free trial MCP API
Why it comes up: Instantly is a cold-email sequencer with warmup and unlimited sending seats, not an agentic research-and-dial workspace.
Stands out: Warmup, unibox, and volume send with hosted MCP and a public API.
Watch out: Deliverability still depends on your domains and inboxes, not the tool alone.
Best for
- Outbound recruiting teams sending at volume
- Agencies running many sending accounts
- Desks that need warmup plus a unibox

Why it comes up: 11x sells autonomous digital workers on a quote, a hire-an-agent motion versus Regie's $49/mo Pro credit plan.
Stands out: Alice Growth prints $3750/mo billed annually and includes domain setup, warmup, inbox rotation, monitoring, and bi-directional CRM sync for up to 5 end users.
Watch out: Annual is the default. Pro and Enterprise are custom. Julian (inbound voice/chat) is a separate SKU. There is no public trial.
Best for
- B2B teams replacing a first SDR pod with an outbound digital worker
- RevOps that want mailboxes, warmup, and CRM sync bundled instead of five vendors
- Companies that can commit annually and feed Alice 2,000 new prospects a month

Why it comes up: Artisan sells Ava as an autonomous BDR from about $600/mo, replacing a seat rather than a $49/mo credit workspace.
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
