Why people look past Rox

Unused Agent Actions expire at the end of the billing cycle, and hitting the cap pauses new tasks until renewal or an early reset on paid plans.

What we noted

  • Enterprise security and warehouse features are sales-quoted only
  • Action overages are not a simple self-serve top-up on every plan
  • The product is a revenue agent, not a classic contact database you can export at will

Not the right fit for

  • Enterprises that need SAML, SCIM, and warehouse sync without talking to sales
  • Teams that want unused monthly credits to roll over

Worth keeping in mind: Teams is $255/mo for 15,000 actions and unlimited seats, with CRM writeback, instead of per-rep seat licenses.

What each one does differently

Apollo

$49/mo Free tier Free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: Apollo publishes a $49/mo data-plus-sequencer plan with a free tier, while Rox meters AI agent actions from $100/mo.

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

Clay

$167/mo Free tier 14 day free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: Clay is a waterfall enrichment worksheet with Claygent on every row, not an always-on revenue agent swarm.

Stands out: 150+ provider waterfall plus Claygent on every row, with MCP and API.

Watch out: Not a sender. Paid plans start at about $167/mo, with Launch from $185/mo, and credit burn adds up.

Best for

  • Sourcers building enriched spreadsheets
  • Teams chaining many data vendors
  • Desks that want Claygent research columns

11x

$3750/mo

Why it comes up: 11x sells named digital workers (Alice, Julian) on a high quote, while Rox publishes Individual at $100/mo.

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

AiSDR

250

Why it comes up: AiSDR is a signal-based AI SDR from a published $250 starting point, not a 10,000-action monthly pool.

Stands out: A public $250 Solo plan (200 AI-researched contacts) with HubSpot, Salesforce, Close, Clay and Calendly named, and cancel-anytime terms.

Watch out: Explore is $900/mo and Scale $2,500. There is no free trial; the vendor says warmup makes a 30-day window pointless. Per-campaign managed service is extra.

Best for

  • Founder-led sales that want an AI SDR with a public price
  • HubSpot or Salesforce shops
  • Teams comparing Ava and Ami
