AI SDR pricing and AI SDR cost per month compared

AI SDR pricing in 2026 runs from 49 USD a month for a self-serve plan to more than 36,000 USD a year for an enterprise agent on an annual contract. The number that matters is what you pay per researched contact and how long you are locked in. OutreachAuto costs 99 USD month to month, or 49 USD a month billed yearly, for 1,500 new researched contacts and 3 inboxes, which works out to about 3 to 7 cents per contact.

How much does an AI SDR cost per month

Published AI SDR plans start at 49 to 250 USD a month for a single seat and a few hundred to 1,500 contacts. Mid tiers run 500 to 900 USD a month, usually on quarterly or annual terms. Enterprise agents such as 11x Alice are listed at 3,750 USD a month billed annually. A fully loaded human SDR in the US is commonly estimated at 115,000 to 155,000 USD a year, so even the expensive agents cost less than a hire. The real differences between tools are the contract length, how many contacts you get and what is billed on top.

AI SDR pricing by vendor

Figures come from each vendor's public pricing page where one exists, and from widely reported quotes where it does not, as checked in October 2026. "Contacts" means different things at different vendors (new researched contacts, active contacts in a sequence, or prospects added), so the cost per contact is a rough guide, not an exact match.

The honest reading: the expensive tools are not overpriced for what they include. 11x and AiSDR bundle a large contact database, managed mailboxes and onboarding, and 11x charges per lead rather than per send. OutreachAuto is cheaper per contact because you bring your own inboxes and lists, and you approve the copy yourself. If you want the vendor to run everything, you pay for that service.

The three AI SDR pricing models

Flat monthly tiers

A fixed price for a set number of contacts, inboxes and seats each month. OutreachAuto, AiSDR and Salesforge publish tiers like this. It is the easiest model to budget for, and you can usually test it for a month before scaling up.

Per lead or per prospect

You pay for each new person the agent takes on, regardless of how many emails it sends to them. 11x describes its pricing this way. It rewards long sequences and penalizes broad lists, so it suits teams with a tight, high-value market.

Credits and sales quotes

Usage is drawn from a pool of credits, and the rate is set in a quote rather than on a public page. Artisan works this way. It can be flexible, but you only learn the real price after a demo, and annual terms are common.

Costs that are not on the pricing page

Most AI SDR quotes leave out a few lines that add up over a year. Check each one before you compare two tools.

If you track software spend across many subscriptions, a SaaS and cloud cost tracker makes it easier to see what each outbound tool really costs once the add-ons are billed.

  • Sending domains and inboxes. Cold outreach should go from separate domains, at roughly 10 to 15 USD a year per domain, plus about 7 to 8 USD a month per Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 inbox if the vendor does not supply them
  • Contact data. Tools without a built-in database need a list source, and tools with one often cap lookups or sell extra credits
  • Managed service add-ons. AiSDR, for example, lists optional managed campaigns at 149 USD per campaign on Explore and 2,500 USD a month on Scale
  • CRM sync. Two-way sync with HubSpot or Salesforce is often reserved for higher tiers
  • Onboarding and setup fees. Some vendors include them, some quote them separately
  • Paying in advance. A quarterly or annual prepayment is money spent before the first meeting is booked

How to work out what an AI SDR will cost you

  1. Step 1. Count the accounts you can really sell to

    A narrow US market might hold 3,000 good accounts. Paying for 10,000 contacts a month in that market buys you nothing extra.

  2. Step 2. Pick the contract length you can live with

    If the channel is untested for your offer, choose a plan you can stop after one or two months. Prepaying a year is fine once outbound works.

  3. Step 3. Add the hidden lines

    Domains, inboxes, data, CRM tier and onboarding. Put them next to the headline price so you compare totals.

  4. Step 4. Divide by meetings, not by seats

    Your target is cost per booked meeting. Our guide to the cost of a booked meeting shows the arithmetic with real ranges.

Which price band fits your team

Founder doing sales

One person, one offer, a few hundred to 1,500 good contacts a month. A monthly plan under 100 USD covers it. See AI SDR for small business.

Sales team of two to five

Several reps who need shared sequences, CRM sync and more inboxes. Growth tiers between 124 and 250 USD a month fit here.

Agency running outbound for clients

Separate workspaces per client and 30 or more inboxes. Scale plans around 300 to 600 USD a month, or more if the vendor charges per seat. See outbound for agencies.

Enterprise sales organization

Procurement, security review, multi-language sending and a named account team. This is where 11x and Artisan quotes make sense, and an annual contract is normal.

When a cheaper AI SDR is the wrong choice

A low monthly price is the wrong buy if nobody on your team can answer interested replies within a day, if you need phone calls rather than email, or if you want a vendor to own the whole program end to end. In those cases a managed agent, an agency or a human SDR is worth the extra cost. Read our AI SDR vs human SDR comparison before deciding.

  • Buy a self-serve plan if you can approve copy and take meetings yourself
  • Buy a managed agent if you want the vendor to run campaigns for you
  • Hire a person if phone is your main channel

How much does an AI SDR cost?

An AI SDR costs from about 49 to 250 USD a month on entry self-serve plans, 500 to 900 USD a month on mid tiers, and 3,750 USD a month or more for enterprise agents billed annually. OutreachAuto costs 99 USD month to month, or 49 USD a month billed yearly, for 1,500 new researched contacts and 3 inboxes.

Is an AI SDR cheaper than a human SDR?

Yes, by a wide margin. A fully loaded US SDR is commonly estimated at 115,000 to 155,000 USD a year with salary, benefits, tools and management. Even an enterprise AI SDR at 45,000 USD a year costs less, and self-serve plans cost under 1,200 USD a year. A human still wins on phone calls and complex conversations.

Do AI SDR tools require an annual contract?

Some do and some do not. 11x bills annually by default, Artisan usually quotes annual terms, and AiSDR moves to quarterly prepayment above its Solo plan. OutreachAuto, AiSDR Solo and several others run month to month, so you can test the channel before committing.

Why is AI SDR pricing so different between vendors?

Prices differ mostly because of what is bundled. Enterprise agents include a large contact database, managed mailboxes, onboarding and a named team. Self-serve tools let you bring your own inboxes and lists and approve the copy yourself, which costs the vendor less and costs you more of your own time.

Is an AI SDR worth it?

An AI SDR is worth it when your buyers read email, your market holds at least a few thousand good accounts and someone can answer interested replies quickly. Measure it by cost per booked meeting over two or three months, not by the first week's reply rate.

Can I try an AI SDR before paying?

With OutreachAuto, yes. Enter your website and who you sell to, and it researches a matching company and writes the first email in about a minute, so you can judge the output before you buy a plan.
