Deliverability first

Agent Frank

An autonomous email SDR built on infrastructure made for sending at volume.

How we picked

A practitioner read, not a reposted directory

This list covers AI SDR tools a lean, early-stage team would actually run, with every published price checked on the tool's own site in August 2026. We left out 11x and Artisan, and skipped build-your-own agent platforms like Relevance AI, which are a different job than a packaged AI SDR.

We run outbound on several of these every week, so the read comes from using them, not a spec sheet. On whether to buy one at all, we set out what an AI SDR and a GTM engineer are each answerable for.

What this list is, and is not

→ Pricing verified on each tool's own site, August 2026
→ Ratings are live G2, Capterra, or Trustpilot scores, linked and checked June 2026
→ No affiliate links and no paid placements
→ Built for lean, early-stage teams, not enterprise buyers
→ Honest about where each tool is the wrong call

The real split

Three jobs, not one category

"AI SDR" covers three different jobs. Pick the wrong job and you buy a tool that solves a problem you do not have.

Standalone outbound

AiSDR, Agent Frank, Jeeva, Landbase

Standalone agents that run their own outbound motion end to end, from list to send, with you setting the guardrails (Landbase now frames this as GTM data and agents you run from your own AI tools).

Use it when you want cold outbound to run itself with a human reviewing output.

Copilot on platform

Amplemarket (Duo), Gem-E (UserGems), Unify, Regie.ai

AI agents grounded in real signals and bolted onto a fuller outbound or data platform, assisting a human who still approves and edits.

Use it when you want signal-grounded outreach with a person approving each send.

Inbound AI SDR

Qualified (Piper), Breakout

Agents that work your inbound traffic, qualifying, routing, and booking meetings off your website and de-anonymized visitors.

Use it when your real opportunity is website traffic, not cold lists.

The 10 tools

Grouped by the job they do best

These are grouped by the job they are best at, not ranked one to ten. Read the group that matches your situation.

Group A

Autonomous standalone outbound SDRs

Standalone agents that run their own outbound motion end to end, from list to send, with you setting the guardrails (Landbase now frames this as GTM data and agents you run from your own AI tools).

01

AiSDR

4.6 G2 80+ Standalone outbound

A self-serve autonomous SDR that coordinates email, LinkedIn, and SMS from one place, with public pricing and no annual lock-in.

Best for

SMB teams that want a self-serve autonomous SDR across email and LinkedIn with public pricing and no annual lock-in.

Pricing (Aug 2026)

Solo is $250/mo, Explore $900/mo, and Scale $2,500/mo, metered by AI-researched contacts rather than seats, with 20% off annual and no free trial.

Where it shines

Coordinates email, LinkedIn, and SMS from one place, publishes its pricing openly, and gets teams live fast with a dedicated onboarding contact.

Skip it if

You need deep control over signal logic or branching, since the playbooks are pre-built and power users hit a ceiling on customization.

Bottom line

Go-to when a small team wants an autonomous outbound SDR with transparent pricing and is fine letting it run pre-built plays with a human reviewing output. See how it compares to Jeeva.

02

Agent Frank

4.6 G2 250+ Deliverability-led SDR

An autonomous email SDR built on top of strong sending infrastructure, where deliverability and warmup are first-class rather than a separate layer.

Best for

Teams that want an autonomous email SDR built on top of strong sending infrastructure rather than a separate data layer.

Pricing (Aug 2026)

Agent Frank is $599/mo billed quarterly, about $499/mo on annual, for 1,000 active contacts a month, with sending infrastructure extra (Infraforge from $33/mo) and a free trial.

Where it shines

Built by an email-infrastructure company, so deliverability and warmup are first-class, and the agent slots into a stack you may already run for sending.

Skip it if

You want broad multichannel reach, since it is email-first and narrower on channels than agents that lead with LinkedIn and SMS.

Bottom line

Go-to when deliverability is your bottleneck and you want an autonomous email SDR sitting on infrastructure built for sending at volume.

Visit Agent Frank

03

Jeeva

4.6 G2 220+ Usage-based SDR

A cheap autonomous SDR for early teams, bundling lead finding, verified contacts, AI replies, and CRM sync into the base plans.

Best for

Solo founders and early-stage teams that want a cheap autonomous SDR to start running outbound without a big commitment.

Pricing (Aug 2026)

A free plan covers one seat, Growth is $95/mo and Scale $239/mo billed annually ($119 and $299 month to month), with real campaigns also consuming credits on top, and no published per-credit pricing.

Where it shines

The lowest entry price of the standalone SDRs here, with lead finding, verified emails and numbers, AI replies, and CRM sync bundled into the base plans.

Skip it if

You want predictable costs, since credit consumption on top of the subscription means your real spend can climb well above the headline price.

Bottom line

Go-to when you are an early-stage team that wants to try an autonomous SDR cheaply, with the caveat that credits make true cost harder to forecast. See how it compares to AiSDR.

04

Landbase

4.8 G2 10 GTM data + agents in your AI

Now pitched as GTM infrastructure for the agentic era: a 300M-plus contact database with enrichment, signals and AI agents, reached from inside Claude Code, Codex or a CLI install.

Best for

Teams that work from Claude Code or Codex and want targeting, qualification and enrichment on a large contact database inside it, and are willing to pilot on thin public proof.

Pricing (Aug 2026)

Landbase publishes no prices: its pricing page redirects to a contact form with no plans listed. The homepage advertises a self-serve sign-up (Start For Free), but the terms behind it are not published, so get a quote.

Where it shines

Puts a 300M-plus contact database, enrichment, natural-language agentic search, signals and AI agents inside the AI you already work in, installed from Claude Code, Codex or a CLI, on a model it says is trained on 50M-plus GTM campaigns.

Skip it if

You need proven results before you buy, since the marketing is ahead of the adoption: only about 10 G2 reviews and little public proof of the data and agents working at scale.

Bottom line

Go-to when you want GTM data and agents inside Claude Code or Codex and can treat it as a pilot rather than a system you bet pipeline on.

Visit Landbase

Group B

Copilots on a full platform

AI agents grounded in real signals and bolted onto a fuller outbound or data platform, assisting a human who still approves and edits.

05

Amplemarket (Duo)

4.6 G2 600+ AI copilot on platform

A human-in-the-loop AI copilot that lives inside a full data and multichannel outbound platform, so it works from real account context.

Best for

Teams that want a human-in-the-loop AI copilot living inside a full data and multichannel outbound platform.

Pricing (Aug 2026)

Startup is $600/mo on an annual term with 2 users, while Growth and Elite are custom-quoted, all annual, with a 14-day trial through sales and extra seats around $300 to $400/mo.

Where it shines

Duo sits inside one platform that already handles data, signals, multichannel sending, and deliverability, so the AI works from real account context instead of a thin layer.

Skip it if

You want month-to-month flexibility or a low floor, since every plan is an annual contract starting at $7,200/year before seats and overages.

Bottom line

Go-to when you want an AI copilot grounded in a real outbound platform and you are committing to the platform for the year anyway. See how it compares to Gem-E.

Visit Amplemarket

06

Gem-E (UserGems)

4.7 G2 140+ Signal-grounded agent

An AI SDR grounded in champion job-change and intent signals, so outreach is timed to a real reason to reach out instead of a static list.

Best for

Revenue teams that want an AI SDR grounded in champion job-change and intent signals rather than cold lists.

Pricing (Aug 2026)

Published annual contracts: Core is $3,000/mo, Advanced $6,250/mo, and Elite $12,500/mo, plus a one-time $3,000 to $10,000 implementation fee, with a custom Enterprise tier above Elite.

Where it shines

Gem-E acts on real triggers like a champion changing jobs and 21-plus other signals, so the outreach is timed to a reason to reach out instead of a static list.

Skip it if

You are an early-stage team on a tight budget, since pricing starts at $3,000/mo plus implementation and assumes a CRM full of relationships to track.

Bottom line

Go-to when your best pipeline comes from warm relationships and signal timing, and you want an AI SDR that fires on those triggers.

Visit UserGems

07

Unify

4.7 G2 40+ Warm-outbound platform

Signal-based warm outbound with agents and sequencing in one system of action, so you detect intent and act on it without stitching tools together.

Best for

Teams that want signal-based warm outbound with agents and sequencing in one system of action.

Pricing (Aug 2026)

Free covers up to 3 seats, Base is $20/seat/mo and Pro $60/seat/mo billed monthly, and Business is custom on annual billing, with managed Gmail and Outlook mailboxes at $25/mailbox/mo on that tier.

Where it shines

Combines 25-plus signals, AI agents, and built-in sequencing so you can detect intent and act on it without stitching tools together.

Skip it if

You want predictable spend, since reviewers consistently flag unpredictable credit burn and a real learning curve.

Bottom line

Go-to when you want to build warm-outbound plays off live signals and run them from agents and sequencing in the same place. See how it compares to Clay.

Visit Unify

08

Regie.ai

4.4 G2 330+ AI SEP + prospecting agents

An AI sales engagement platform (RegieOne) with prospecting agents that handle discovery, enrichment, personalized outreach and CRM logging across email, calls and LinkedIn, and that also plug into Outreach and Salesloft.

Best for

Larger sales orgs consolidating enrichment, dialing, email, sequencing and reporting into one AI-native SEP, or adding agents to an existing Outreach or Salesloft motion.

Pricing (Aug 2026)

AI SEP is $180/user/mo with a 10-seat minimum and Force Multiplier Rep is $499/user/mo with a 5-seat minimum, both on annual contracts. Add-ons listed on the site: mailbox rotation at $50 or $100 per user a month, and a parallel dialer at $1,800 per user a year, sold only with an agents package.

Where it shines

Its own AI-native SEP with a built-in dialer, and the Force Multiplier Rep tier bundles 10 warmed mailboxes with domains, a parallel dialer and enrichment credits, so enrichment, dialing, email, sequencing and reporting sit in one workflow.

Skip it if

You are a small team, since the 10-seat minimum and annual contract still price out anyone under a full sales org.

Bottom line

Go-to when a larger sales org wants one AI-native SEP with agents instead of a stack of tools, and a team already on Outreach or Salesloft can add the agents rather than switch.

Group C

Inbound AI SDRs for website pipeline

Agents that work your inbound traffic, qualifying, routing, and booking meetings off your website and de-anonymized visitors.

09

Qualified (Piper)

4.9 G2 1.4k Inbound AI SDR

An inbound AI SDR for Salesforce-based teams: Piper works your website in real time, chatting, qualifying, surfacing offers, and booking meetings at enterprise scale.

Best for

Salesforce-based teams that want an inbound AI SDR working website pipeline at enterprise scale.

Pricing (Jun 2026)

All tiers are custom-quoted, with Premier reported around $68,000/yr at list for 25 users and most buyers negotiating to roughly $40,000 to $50,000/yr, on top of a Salesforce stack that pushes total cost into six figures.

Where it shines

Piper works your website in real time, chatting, qualifying, surfacing offers, and booking meetings, and it is deeply wired into Salesforce.

Skip it if

You are not on Salesforce or you are a small team, since the platform assumes a Salesforce stack and prices for enterprise.

Bottom line

Go-to when you run Salesforce, have real inbound traffic, and want a heavyweight AI SDR converting it into booked meetings.

10

Breakout

4.9 G2 30+ Inbound + de-anon

An inbound AI SDR paired with person-level visitor de-anonymization, built to work warm website traffic rather than cold outbound.

Best for

Teams that want an inbound AI SDR paired with visitor de-anonymization to work warm website traffic.

Pricing (Aug 2026)

Signals starts at $500/mo for de-anonymization, enrichment, and buying-group ID, Growth starts at $2,000/mo adding the inbound AI SDR, routing, and scheduling, and Enterprise is quote-only.

Where it shines

Combines person-level visitor de-anonymization with an inbound AI SDR, and reviewers report getting live in a few hours with clean CRM and Slack integrations.

Skip it if

You want the flagship AI SDR cheaply, since the chatbot, routing, and scheduling only arrive on the $2,000/mo Growth tier.

Bottom line

Go-to when you want to identify warm website visitors and have an inbound agent engage and book them, not run cold outbound.

Visit Breakout

How to choose

What should you pick?

Find your situation below and start with the tool next to it. It is a sensible starting point, not the only right answer.

You want an autonomous SDR you can buy without a sales call

AiSDR publishes pricing and starts month to month, and Jeeva is cheaper still if budget is the deciding factor.

Deliverability is your real bottleneck

Agent Frank rides on Salesforge's sending infrastructure, so warmup and inbox placement are handled by design.

Your best pipeline comes from warm relationships and timing

Gem-E fires on champion job-change and intent signals, and Unify is the pick if you want to build the plays yourself.

You already run a full outbound or sales engagement platform

Amplemarket Duo sits inside its own platform, and Regie.ai is its own AI SEP with prospecting agents that also plug into Outreach or Salesloft if that is your stack.

You have real inbound website traffic to convert

Qualified is the enterprise Salesforce pick, and Breakout fits if you want de-anonymization plus an inbound agent.

You want GTM data and agents inside your AI tools

Landbase puts its contact database, signals and agents inside Claude Code or Codex, but publishes no plan or price, so treat any pilot as an experiment given the thin proof of adoption.

Putting it together

How to build your stack

It depends on your motion and your stage. Three common starting points, and the agent matters less than the signals and the human in the loop. If you are not sure which motion you are running yet, start with what a GTM motion is and how to pick your first one.

1

Infra plus agent

Run Agent Frank for the autonomous email motion on top of Salesforge infrastructure so deliverability is owned by the same stack that sends.

2

Signal plus outbound

Feed warm signals from Gem-E or Unify into your sequencing so the AI only reaches out when there is a real reason, with a human approving the send.

3

Inbound plus outbound split

Put Qualified or Breakout on the website to work inbound traffic and pair it with a standalone SDR like AiSDR for the cold outbound side.

Want a second pair of hands? We audit setups and run the whole motion for early-stage teams.

FAQ

Questions people ask

How much do AI SDR tools cost in 2026?

Pricing spans a wide range depending on whether the tool is self-serve or enterprise. Standalone SDRs start low, with Jeeva from $95/mo billed annually, AiSDR from $250/mo, and Agent Frank from $599/mo billed quarterly. Platform copilots and inbound agents spread wider: Unify from $20 per seat a month, Amplemarket from $600/mo on an annual term, Gem-E from $3,000/mo, and Qualified custom-quoted into the tens of thousands a year plus a Salesforce stack.

Can an AI SDR actually replace a human SDR?

Not in 2026, despite the marketing. The set-it-and-forget-it promise is still oversold, and teams that deployed AI SDRs as full replacements have largely moved back to hybrid models. The honest read is that these tools work best as an assist, with a human reviewing lists, editing messages, and handling replies. Treat them as extra capacity for a small team, not a headcount you can delete.

What is the difference between an autonomous AI SDR and a copilot?

An autonomous standalone SDR like AiSDR, Agent Frank, or Jeeva runs its own outbound loop, from building a list to sending, with you setting guardrails. A copilot like Amplemarket Duo, Gem-E, or Unify is grounded in real signals and rides on a fuller platform, built to assist a human who still approves and edits. Inbound agents like Qualified and Breakout are a third category that works your website traffic rather than cold outbound.

Are autonomous AI SDRs reliable enough to run unsupervised?

No, and any vendor promising otherwise is overselling it. Even the strongest tools here benefit from a human checking the output, because off-target lists, generic copy, and clumsy reply handling all still happen. Tools grounded in real signals tend to produce more relevant outreach than ones working from cold lists. Plan for a person in the loop and you will get more out of any of these.

Is Landbase worth buying right now?

It is worth a pilot, not a bet. Landbase now pitches GTM data and agents inside Claude Code, Codex or a CLI, but its pricing page redirects to a contact form with no plans listed, and the self-serve sign-up it advertises has no published terms. The marketing is also ahead of proven adoption: only 10 G2 reviews and little public evidence of the platform working at scale. Ask for a scoped pilot before you commit budget.

Do I need a separate AI SDR for inbound and outbound?

Often, yes, because they solve different jobs. Inbound agents like Qualified and Breakout work your website traffic, qualifying and booking visitors who are already on your site. Standalone outbound SDRs like AiSDR and Agent Frank go find and contact cold prospects. A common stack runs an inbound agent on the site and a separate outbound SDR for cold reach rather than asking one tool to do both well.
