If the reason you are looking at 11x alternatives is that you cannot get a price without a demo, four tools in this category publish one. AiSDR charges $1.50 per person prospected with no monthly fee and quotes Team plans by volume. Salesforge lists Agent Frank at $499 a month billed quarterly, or $416 a month billed annually, on top of a $40 to $96 platform plan. Regie.ai lists $49 a month for Pro. Saleswoman is $149 to $999 a month, flat. Every figure here was read off that vendor's own pricing page.
11x now prints one figure of its own. Alice Growth starts at $3,750 a month billed annually for up to 5 users and 2,000 new prospects a month, and the FAQ on the same page says 11x starts at $36,000 a year. Pro and Enterprise are still quoted, and every plan button still books a call. So the entry price is known, the term is a year, and anything above Growth is a negotiation. The plans and both annual figures are itemized on our 11x pricing page. Older numbers you have seen for 11x in comparison articles are other people's estimates, written before that page existed.
Why buyers go looking for an 11x alternative
Three reasons come up repeatedly, and only one of them is about the product.
The first is the demo gate. A team with a $500 a month budget cannot find out in ten minutes whether they are even in the target market, so they spend a week discovering they are not. The second is contract shape: quote only vendors in this category sell annually, and an annual commitment is a different decision from a monthly subscription regardless of what the software does. The third is volume. 11x bundles contact data and sells by new prospects a month, 2,000 on its entry plan, which suits a team that needs fresh names every month and overshoots a team writing to a few hundred accounts it already knows.
None of those are complaints about the drafting. They are complaints about the shape of the deal, and the shape of the deal is exactly what a published price fixes.
The four AI SDR tools that publish a price
| Tool | Published price | Metered on | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| AiSDR | $1.50 per person prospected; Team plans quoted by volume | People prospected, not seats | You want autonomous outreach with data, email infrastructure and LinkedIn sequences |
| Salesforge (Agent Frank) | $499 a month billed quarterly ($416 billed annually), plus $40 to $96 platform | Flat agent add on, modules priced separately | You want an autonomous agent and are willing to assemble the stack |
| Regie.ai | $0, then $49 a month for Pro | Credits, drawn down per action | One person testing the category on a real budget of nothing |
| Saleswoman | $149 to $999 a month | Flat monthly, never per seat | You already know the accounts and need the claims to be defensible |
Two more names come up on most shortlists and neither belongs in the table, because neither publishes a figure. Artisan names three tiers, says pricing is credit based and leaves every number blank. Qualified names Premier, Enterprise and Ultimate and does the same. If the demo gate is what sent you here, those two are the same purchase experience you are trying to leave. If Artisan is the other quote on your desk, the named options that publish a price are on artisan alternative. The full breakdown of who publishes what, including both of them, is on ai sdr pricing.
Which one fits which situation
These four are not competing for the same buyer, which is why ranking them one to four would be dishonest. The question is which meter matches your list.
AiSDR, if you want autonomous outreach with usage based billing. Pay as you go is $1.50 per person prospected, charged daily with no monthly fee, stop anytime and no sales call. Research, lists and writing cost nothing extra, and email infrastructure and LinkedIn sequences are included. Team plans for 1,000+ people a month are quoted by volume with up to 40% lower price per contact, billed monthly with quarterly contracts. HubSpot sync is on both; Salesforce is on Team plans.
Salesforge, if you want autonomy and do not mind modules. Agent Frank runs in auto pilot or co pilot mode and is sold as an add on rather than as the product, which keeps the headline platform price low and moves the real cost into the assembled stack. Total everything you would actually switch on, including infrastructure and lead data, before you compare it to a single fee. A $40 headline that becomes $700 assembled is not a $40 product, and Salesforge is reasonably open about that.
Regie.ai, if you are one person proving the idea. Free gives 250 one time credits and Pro is $49 a month for 5,000 credits, self serve, no contract. It is the cheapest honest way to find out whether generated outbound works on your segment at all. The ceiling arrives fast: shared agents, team workspaces and CRM sync all sit behind a quoted Enterprise tier, so the moment this becomes a team activity you are back in a sales conversation.
Saleswoman, if the claims have to survive a reply. This is the one we build, so read it with that in mind. The distinguishing behaviour is that every factual sentence in a draft is marked as cited to a source or unverified, and an unresolved unverified claim holds the send rather than shipping with a plausible guess in it. Pricing is flat and never per seat, and the daily cap is a number you set per mailbox. It does not dial, it does not book meetings, and it does not sell you contact data. If you need any of those three, one of the others is the better buy.
One vendor sits outside this list because it is rarely bought on its own. If your company runs on Salesforce, the AI SDR on the table may be Salesforce's own agent, metered at $2 per prospect conversation on top of the right edition. What a flat priced tool writing into the same org looks like is laid out on our agentforce alternative page.
If the half you actually wanted was the phone agent
11x sells two things: an outbound email worker and a voice agent that handles live calls. Every tool in the table above replaces the first one only. If the piece you were buying was the phone, none of them is a substitute, and the category you want is AI cold calling that qualifies leads and books meetings, which is a different product with different failure modes. Swapping an email drafting tool in for a dialer is the most expensive mistake available in this evaluation, because you find out in week six when the pipeline number is flat.
Worth being blunt about it: a drafting tool and a dialer are not ranked against each other. They fail differently, they are bought by different people, and a company that needs both usually buys both.
Three things to settle before you switch
The notice period on the contract you are leaving. Annual agreements in this category commonly auto renew with a thirty to sixty day notice window, which means the decision to leave has to be made about two months before you want to stop paying. Find the date first. Everything else in this evaluation is cheaper if you are not paying twice.
Who owns the sending domains. If the vendor provisioned secondary domains and mailboxes for you, establish whether they transfer, because sender reputation is built on a specific domain over months and it does not follow you to a new one. Starting cold on fresh domains costs you roughly the first six weeks of any new tool's performance, and that is usually blamed on the new tool.
Where the reply history lives. The record of what was claimed to whom is the asset you are least likely to think about and most likely to need. Export threads, opt outs and the suppression list before the account closes. A suppression list you cannot produce is a compliance problem waiting for a complaint, and the requirements are laid out plainly in our CAN-SPAM compliance checklist.
What actually moves, and what does not
Sequences move, roughly. Copy is portable and every tool in the table will import a list, so the visible work transfers in an afternoon. What does not move is the thing that took the longest to build.
Domain warmup does not move. Deliverability history attached to a mailbox does not move. The model's accumulated read on your best performing angle does not move, because it is not a file you can export. And your team's habits do not move: whoever was reviewing drafts in the old tool has to learn a new review queue, and if nobody was reviewing drafts, the new tool will not fix that either.
Plan for six weeks of flat numbers after a switch and you will make a calmer decision in week three. Teams that expect week one performance from a new sender usually push volume to compensate, which is the fastest way to damage the domain they just moved to. The argument for hard caps, and why the queue should stop rather than borrow from tomorrow, is on cold email software.
If you are staying with 11x, negotiate these three things
Leaving is not always the answer, and a renewal is a chance to negotiate. Three asks are worth more than a discount.
Ask for the overage rate in writing, and for the system to stop at the cap rather than continue and invoice. Ask what happens to the contract if your seat count drops, because a headcount change mid term is the most common reason a good contract becomes a bad one. And ask what happens to prospects you do not use in a month, because on a plan sold at 2,000 new prospects a month, the unused part is the line that decides whether the price was fair.
A vendor that answers all three plainly is a vendor worth renewing with. One that will not put the overage rate in the agreement is telling you something about the next twelve months. If you would rather compare on capability than on price, our comparison of AI SDR tools by capability ignores cost entirely, and if your real alternative is an agency retainer rather than another tool, the arithmetic for that is on sdr outsourcing.
