11x is the strongest choice for well-funded teams that want an autonomous AI SDR with phone coverage, Artisan fits teams that want an AI BDR with lead data and a dialer built in, and AiSDR is the easiest to evaluate and launch thanks to published pricing starting at $250 per month.
All three sell an AI SDR that researches prospects, writes personalized outreach, handles replies and books meetings. They differ in how autonomous they are, where the lead data comes from, which channels they cover and how they charge. This comparison uses each vendor’s public information as of November 2026.

11x positions its agents as digital workers. Alice runs the full outbound loop from prospecting to booking, sending from 11x-managed mailboxes, and Julian handles phone and chat. The company targets mid-market and enterprise buyers that want to scale outbound without adding SDR headcount.
Artisan’s Ava finds leads in a built-in contact database, enriches them from multiple sources, prioritizes them using intent signals, sends personalized email and social outreach, and books meetings. Artisan also sells a human power dialer so reps can call leads Ava warms up.
AiSDR runs AI-researched email and LinkedIn outreach that learns from replies, with HubSpot sync on all plans and Salesforce on team plans. It is known for transparent pricing, no long-term contracts on entry plans and a launch process measured in days.
Price is the clearest difference between the three.
Model cost per meeting rather than monthly price. A higher-priced tool that books more qualified meetings can still be cheaper per opportunity.
11x is built for the most autonomy, running sequences end to end with light oversight. Artisan also aims to own the outbound workflow but supports handoffs to human BDRs. AiSDR runs autonomously within the campaigns you approve and leans on its team for setup and tuning.
Artisan’s built-in database is its biggest practical advantage for teams without a data provider. 11x handles research inside its workflow. AiSDR prices around AI-researched contacts, so list quality and ICP definition drive results.
11x is the only one of the three with a native AI phone agent. Artisan covers phone through a human dialer add-on. AiSDR focuses on email and LinkedIn.
These platforms also appear on most AI SDR shortlists and may fit better depending on your stack:
We compared the three using each vendor’s product pages, pricing pages and documentation, checked in November 2026, along with independent pricing reports where vendors do not publish rates.
11x is better for teams that want maximum autonomy and an AI phone agent. Artisan is better for teams that need lead data built in and want to pair AI outreach with human calling.
Yes. AiSDR’s published entry plan is $250 per month, while 11x’s published Growth plan is $3,750 per month billed annually.
All three integrate with major CRMs. AiSDR supports HubSpot on all plans and Salesforce on team plans; 11x and Artisan support both.
Plan for 60 to 90 days, including domain warmup, so you can measure meetings booked and pipeline created against your current cost per meeting.
There is no single winner. 11x leads on autonomy and channel coverage, Artisan on built-in data, and AiSDR on transparency and speed to launch. Pilot the one that matches your biggest constraint, whether that is headcount, data or budget.
