Overview

Artisan, launched in 2023, built its AI SDR agent Ava specifically around email and LinkedIn outbound automation, a narrower channel scope than 11x, also covered in this directory, which adds phone, SMS, and WhatsApp on top of those same two channels.

That narrower focus comes with a meaningfully lower price point: Artisan starts around $999 a month, roughly a fifth of 11x's typical annual contract value on a monthly basis, positioning it for teams that specifically want email and LinkedIn outbound handled well rather than paying for channel breadth they may not use.

Pricing runs from roughly $999 to $2,000 a month depending on plan and usage. For a sales team focused specifically on email and LinkedIn outbound that wants a lower entry cost than broader multi-channel AI SDR platforms, Artisan's narrower scope and more accessible pricing address that directly.
