AI SDR services with a person on every draft

AI SDR services use AI agents to do the prospecting half of a sales development rep’s job: researching accounts, writing outreach and following up. On its pricing page on 4 November 2026, AiSDR charged $1.50 per person prospected and $149 to build a campaign for you. Growigami runs the research and drafting for 500 target accounts for $1,999 a month.

Start with one process and have it running in about three weeks. Your CRO, the person who builds and proves each process, writes the first sequences and sends them by hand until they draw replies. AI agents then take over the weekly research and drafting, our team checks every draft, and interested replies go to your sellers the same day.

What are AI SDR services?

There are two kinds of thing for sale under the name. AI SDR software is a product your team runs: you load the targets, set the rules and let it write, send and reply. An AI SDR service puts a team around the work, so someone else builds the campaign and watches it. AiSDR sells both. Its software is self-serve, and for a fee it builds one campaign for you ($149) or runs the whole channel ($2,500 a month).

Our AI SDR glossary entry defines the term, and the AI BDR guide covers what the software does on its own.

What is an AI BDR?

The same job under the other initials. Artisan calls its product, Ava, an AI BDR that books meetings for your reps. Some companies split the roles, giving BDRs outbound and SDRs inbound, and our guide to BDRs and SDRs sets out the difference.

What do AI SDR tools and services cost?

Two of the three AI SDR vendors we checked post a price. On 4 November 2026 we read the pricing pages of AiSDR, 11x and Artisan: AiSDR and 11x showed prices, and Artisan showed none.

Vendor	Published price	What it covers	Who answers replies	Commitment
AiSDR, self-serve	$1.50 per person prospected	Research, lists and writing; email and LinkedIn	The AI classifies and handles replies, with a co-pilot mode	Pay as you go, charged daily
AiSDR, team plans	Priced by volume, up to 40% less per contact	1,000+ people a month, with a GTM engineer	The AI	Billed monthly on quarterly contracts
AiSDR, managed campaign	$149 a campaign	A GTM engineer builds and runs one campaign; you approve before it sends	The AI	Per campaign
AiSDR, fully managed	$2,500 a month	AiSDR runs targeting, messaging, replies and reporting; you take the meetings	AiSDR	Not stated on the page
11x, Growth plan	From $3,750 a month, billed annually	Up to 5 users and 2,000 new prospects a month, with mailboxes set up and warmed	Alice books the meetings	Annual by default
Artisan	Scoped per plan by its sales team	About 2,500 leads contacted a month on Team, about 6,000 on Scale	Ava handles replies; your reps get the meetings	Not stated on the page
Growigami	$1,999 a month	500 target accounts researched, an email and a LinkedIn message per contact	Your sellers, the same day	Minimum three months, then 30 days' notice

The 11x page gives two figures for the same plan: “Starting at $3,750 / mo” on the plan card, and $36,000 a year in its FAQ. Third-party guides put figures on Artisan, whose own page shows none. Use each vendor’s written quote, for the same volume over the same term.

A warmed-up mailbox is $33 extra at AiSDR if you have no sales mailbox of your own. Growigami sends from your own domains, through tools you already pay for.

What does an AI SDR do, and what does a person still do?

Vendors split the work differently, and the split decides who answers for what goes out under your name. This is how it splits in the software we read and in our process:

Task	AI SDR software	Growigami
Find accounts and contacts	The AI, from its own database	We build the list from your closed deals
Research each account	The AI, from live signals	AI agents, each week, for a reason to write now
Write each message	The AI	AI agents draft, and our team checks every draft
Approve before sending	Optional at Artisan	You, for every message
Send	The AI, in your reps’ names at Artisan	From your own domains, after your approval
Answer replies	The AI, at Artisan and AiSDR	Your sellers, the same day
Run the meeting	Your reps	Your sellers

Artisan’s own FAQ says its AI sends in your reps’ names from your own sending domains, so outreach reads as if it came from them. That makes the approval setting the one to ask about first.

Do AI SDRs work?

The category is too new for a long track record. In The Bridge Group’s 2025 study of 351 B2B companies, AI SDRs showed up as a category of their own for the first time, at 1% of respondents. Even guides written by AI SDR service firms list its limits. A weak offer stays weak and the AI does not close deals, while replies still need a person’s judgment.

So test it the way you would test a new hire. Ask for references from customers in your market who have run it for a full year, and read a sample of what it sent for them.

What Growigami runs for sales leaders weighing an AI SDR

Each week, AI agents research every account on your list and draft an email and a LinkedIn message for each contact. Our team checks each draft, and nothing sends until you approve it. Your CRO, who builds the process, sends the first sequences by hand until they draw real replies. Your sellers answer the interested replies, which reach them in Slack the same day.

We build the account list from your closed deals and score each new account against your best customers, so you can start without a list. The research looks for a reason each account would talk now, such as a new head of sales or a funding round. The ABM and outbound service page shows the scoring and the sequences step by step.

If you already employ SDRs, they take the calls and run the meetings, and replies reach them with our research attached. Growigami has worked with 40+ B2B companies. For Reworld, a $3 billion waste-to-energy operator, outbound, a CRM cleanup and campaigns for each buyer segment produced $250M+ in pipeline.

How do you choose an AI SDR service?

Put these questions to each vendor in writing:

• Who reads a message before it sends? Ask whether approval is on by default or a setting someone has to switch on.
• Whose name and domain does it send from? Your reps’ names and domains carry your reputation.
• Who answers the replies? An AI that books meetings on its own is a different product from one that hands replies to a seller.
• Where does the contact data come from? The vendor’s database, your CRM or a list you supply.
• What does a month cost at your volume? Per person, per lead or per campaign, written down for the same three months.
• Who can you call? A reference in your market who has run it for a year.

AI SDR services at Growigami: price and terms

Every price sits in the price builder, which totals any mix of processes before you talk to anyone.

• Outbound to 500 target accounts a month: $1,999 a month.
• Outbound to 1,000 target accounts a month: $1,499 more a month.
• A process costs $500 more in its first month while we build it, and your first build is on us this month.
• A CRO review is optional and extra: $1,499 a month for a monthly review, or $2,999 for a weekly one.
• The minimum is three months. After that you can leave with 30 days' notice.

Three months of one process cost $5,997, because your first build is on us this month. Within a week of read access to your CRM, we show you the first process we would build and what it would produce.

When AI SDR software or a human SDR fits better

Buy AI SDR software if someone on your team can set the targets, read what it sends and watch deliverability, and you want to pay per person reached. AiSDR’s pay-as-you-go plan stops when you stop it. If you want a vendor to run the replies too and leave you only the meetings, AiSDR’s fully managed service offers that for $2,500 a month. Hire a human SDR, in-house or from an outsourced SDR firm, if your buyers answer the phone, because nobody on our side calls.

Our comparison of outsourced and in-house SDRs works through the cost of each. If email is the only channel you want run, see our cold email agency page, and for LinkedIn, LinkedIn lead generation services.
