AiSDR vs Artisan
Two autonomous reps that overlap heavily on email and LinkedIn. The real differences are narrow but they matter: AiSDR adds phone as a third channel and is quick to stand up; Artisan goes deeper on personalization and starts at a lower published entry price. Here’s how to tell which one fits.
Artisan is the one I’d default to — deeper personalization, a lower entry price, and our Editor’s Choice among autonomous reps. AiSDR earns the look when phone is part of your motion, because Artisan keeps that behind a paid dialer add-on while AiSDR runs it natively. If you only ever touch email and LinkedIn, the phone edge isn’t worth the step up.
The short version.
On our benchmark Artisan takes the higher SDR Score (78 to 77) — but that headline hides where each one really pulls ahead.
On channels, AiSDR is wider — 3 of 4 versus 2. If the channel your buyers answer on isn't covered, the rest barely matters.
On price, Artisan starts lower — from $250/mo against from $900/mo — though the cheaper sticker isn't always the better deal once you factor in how hands-off each one is.
So AiSDR suits smb/mid-market/startup teams; Artisan leans toward mid-market/smb.
