    11x vs Artisan vs AiSDR: Which AI SDR Fits Your Team In 2027

    Last updated: November 12, 2026

    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.

    What Each Platform Is

    11x

    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

    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

    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.

    Pricing Compared

    Price is the clearest difference between the three.

    • 11x publishes its Alice Growth plan at $3,750 per month billed annually, for up to five users and 2,000 prospects a month. Pro and Enterprise are quoted.
    • Artisan uses usage-based credits for Ava, with an Enterprise tier on custom terms and a power dialer add-on. Request a quote sized to your lead volume.
    • AiSDR lists a Solo plan at $250 per month, with Explore and Scale plans for higher contact volumes and discounts on annual billing.

    Model cost per meeting rather than monthly price. A higher-priced tool that books more qualified meetings can still be cheaper per opportunity.

    Autonomy And Control

    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.

    Data And Targeting

    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.

    Channels

    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.

    Best Fit By Use Case

    • Choose 11x if you have a proven outbound motion, larger deal sizes and want the most autonomous system with phone coverage.
    • Choose Artisan if you need contact data included and want one platform for AI outreach plus human calling.
    • Choose AiSDR if you want to test an AI SDR quickly on a defined segment with a known monthly cost.

    Other Tools Worth Considering

    These platforms also appear on most AI SDR shortlists and may fit better depending on your stack:

    • Regie.ai, for blending AI agents with human reps
    • Amplemarket, for signal-led AI copilots with data included
    • Qualified, for inbound AI SDR coverage on your website
    • Salesforce Agentforce, for Salesforce-native SDR agents
