Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between AiSDR and Artisan AI?
AiSDR and Artisan AI are both autonomous AI SDR products but target different team sizes. AiSDR (~$750/month) targets small-to-mid sales teams (3-10 reps). Artisan AI ($1,500+/month) targets enterprise sales organizations. AiSDR is 2x cheaper than Artisan but requires more team configuration to run. Both are autonomous AI agents — neither is a sequencer with AI assist.
Which is cheaper, AiSDR or Artisan?
AiSDR is significantly cheaper than Artisan. AiSDR starts at ~$750/month ($9,000/year). Artisan starts at ~$1,500/month ($18,000/year) and goes to ~$2,000/month Growth tier ($24,000/year). The 2x cost difference reflects AiSDR's small-team focus vs Artisan's enterprise positioning. For individual reps, both are too expensive; Artra at $59/month ($708/year) is the appropriate tier.
Which has better output quality?
Output quality varies significantly with configuration for both. Independent reviews suggest both AiSDR and Artisan can produce strong output when properly configured (voice training, signal-driven personalization) but both have produced generic-feeling AI emails when reps skip configuration. The product choice matters less than configuration discipline.
Does AiSDR work for solo reps?
AiSDR is designed for small sales teams (3-10 reps), not solo reps. At $750/month for a single team account, the math doesn't work for one rep. Solo reps wanting an autonomous AI SDR should look at Artra at $59/month — purpose-built for individual reps with the same kind of autonomous capabilities at a fraction of the cost.
Should I pick AiSDR or Artisan?
Pick AiSDR if: you have a small-to-mid sales team (3-10 reps), want autonomous AI SDR capability without enterprise pricing, and can absorb $9K/year. Pick Artisan if: you have an enterprise sales org with $18K+/year budget, want broader brand recognition, and need enterprise sales motion support. Pick Artra if: you're an individual rep or want flat per-account pricing rather than team-tier pricing.
