Compare five AiSDR alternatives by the job you need to replace: an outbound agent, a rep-led workspace, CRM handoff or a calling workflow. Current package boundaries matter more than a headline price.

Name the reason for switching first. Then compare matching contact volumes, human controls, CRM updates and contract terms. A cheaper sequencing seat does not necessarily replace an AI SDR.
On small screens, scroll the table sideways.
| Your requirement | Products to evaluate | Decision check |
|---|---|---|
| Different agent workflow | Agent Frank or Jason AI | Compare controls and handoff using the same campaign. |
| An integrated human calling motion | Artisan | Budget for reps and dialer seats. |
| A broader deployment or separate inbound worker | 11x | Separate worker scope and contract obligations. |
| A rep-led workspace instead of delegated outbound | Apollo | Count the human work that remains. |
| A different CRM or more capacity | Compare the actual tiers before switching | A plan upgrade may solve the problem; prove required sync and limits in the demo. |
You want an agent in the Forge stack
Prospecting, email follow-up and meeting workflows, with a review mode.
It does not establish a native CRM connection or include your email infrastructure. Verify the handoff and operating costs.
Agent Frank: US$499/month billed annually on the pricing page; product FAQ lists US$599/month billed quarterly. Infrastructure is additional.
Full Agent Frank profile →You want an alternative agent with approval controls
Sourcing, sequence preparation and reply workflows; evaluate its autopilot and copilot settings.
A calling step does not establish autonomous calling. Check the CRM connector, contact allowance and fair-use terms in the exact package.
Jason AI SDR Starter: published annual options start at US$500/month; monthly options start at US$800/month. Lower-priced Reply engagement plans are different packages.
Full Jason AI by Reply.io profile →You want agent outreach feeding human callers
Ava's sourcing, outreach and reply handling can be assessed as the outbound alternative.
Its dialer requires people to conduct calls. Confirm CRM fields and lead accounting before treating the scope as equivalent.
Team, Scale or Enterprise: custom quote. Standard minimum term was not confirmed in the reviewed pricing. Dialer seats are additional.
Full Artisan profile →You are evaluating a larger outbound deployment
Evaluate Alice for outbound; separately scope Julian if you also need inbound conversations.
An annual deployment is a different commitment from a small monthly trial. Ask for approval rules, ownership and exit terms.
Alice Growth: published annual starting figures conflict. See the 11x profile before budgeting; Pro and Enterprise require a quote.
Full 11x profile →You want a person to operate the prospecting workspace
Data discovery, research and sequencing can replace parts of the workflow when a rep remains responsible.
This is a change in operating model, not a like-for-like autonomous agent. Include staff time and the required research, export and calling allowances.
Free and paid platform options. Select a plan around the actual workflow and confirm its monthly or annual commitment; agent-equivalent scope is not assumed.
Full Apollo AI profile →If your current targeting, review process and CRM handoff work, changing tools introduces new setup and learning. AiSDR has a smaller monthly Solo option; a blanket US$900 entry-price assumption is outdated. Check whether the specific limit is solved by a different tier before replacing the system.
Compare a complete proposal: users, researched contacts, channels, CRM tier, domains, mailboxes, support and commitment. Keep the qualification definition the same and record the team's operating time. No shortlist can tell you which product will book better meetings without testing your workflow.
There is no single answer across different volumes, commitments and operating models. A lower subscription can require more infrastructure or employee time. Compare the required package, not an unrelated platform's cheapest seat.
No. These are source-based shortlists for further evaluation. We have not run comparative trials or independently verified conversion claims.
These are editorial assessments of published product scope. We have not run comparative product trials. Inclusion does not establish better performance, lower total cost or suitability for every business. Confirm current terms and test the workflow with your own data.
