11x Alternatives: AI SDR Platforms Worth Comparing

A practical comparison for teams who priced 11x, hesitated, and started looking sideways.

Updated 14 September 2026: 11x now publishes a price for its Alice Growth plan, and BOSRAI's plans and approval model have changed since this was first written. Both are corrected below. For a side-by-side, see BOSRAI vs 11x.

You booked the 11x demo, liked what Alice did on the call, and then hit the part where the price only exists inside a twelve-month contract. Or you got the number, did the arithmetic against your current pipeline, and quietly closed the tab. Either way you are now searching for 11x alternatives, and every list you find ranks the same seven email-first tools on the same four axes.

That is not a useful way to choose. 11x is a specific bet — enterprise, sales-led, autonomous — and "an alternative" means something completely different depending on which part of that bet failed for you. This piece splits the decision by situation, and starts with the thing most comparison posts skip: what you can actually learn before anyone gets you on a call.

Why people search for 11x alternatives

11x sells digital AI workers. Alice handles outbound prospecting; Julian handles inbound phone. Their own site lists email, phone, LinkedIn, SMS and social as channels. When this post was first written it listed no prices at all; as of 14 September 2026 the Alice pricing page shows a Growth plan at $3,750 a month billed annually, for up to five users and 2,000 new prospects a month, with Pro and Enterprise still priced on request and every plan routed through a sales call.

Before that page existed, third-party write-ups filled the vacuum with estimates that did not agree: one competitor's blog put Alice at roughly $5,000 a month with a $50,000–$60,000 first-year minimum, another at $5,000–$10,000 a month. Use 11x's own number now. Note that the FAQ on the same pricing page describes Growth as starting at $36,000 a year, which does not match $3,750 a month for twelve months, so confirm the figure on your quote. Either way the contract is annual.

The honest summary: if you are a twelve-person company, you probably cannot buy 11x, and you will spend a sales call finding that out.

What you can find out before a sales call

Half of this category will not show you a number. The other half will. That split is itself a selection criterion — a vendor that publishes pricing is a vendor you can evaluate on a Saturday.

Every figure above came off the vendor's own pricing page. Where a cell says "not published," that is the finding, not a gap in the research. For the cost-per-meeting arithmetic behind these numbers, the honest AI SDR tools comparison works it through properly.

Situation 1: the contract was the problem

You wanted the product. You could not sign a $50,000 year.

Look at the tools with month-to-month or quarterly terms. AiSDR's Solo plan is $250 a month billed monthly, which is genuinely cancellable — the constraint is 200 AI-researched contacts a month, one domain, three mailboxes. Salesforge sells Agent Frank at $499 a month on quarterly billing and publishes the unit economics openly at roughly $0.25 per contact above 2,000 a month. Regie.ai has a free tier and a $49 Pro plan, though its channel coverage is email and dialer only.

The trap in this bracket is credit maths. A $250 plan that researches 200 contacts a month is a $1.25-per-contact plan, and if your close rate needs 2,000 touches to produce a meeting, the sticker price is not the price. Work out cost per contact and cost per meeting before you compare monthly fees, because monthly fees are the least informative number on the page.

Situation 2: full autonomy was the problem

This is the quieter reason, and for small teams it is often the real one.

Autonomous outbound means a model writes a message about your company, to a named human, and sends it without anyone reading it. When it works you get leverage. When it drifts — wrong segment, hallucinated detail, tone that lands as spam in a market where that tone is a reputational problem — you find out from the reply, or from the unsubscribe, or from a client who forwards it to someone you know.

If that is your objection, the axis to compare on is not price. It is whether the product has a review step that a human actually stands in, and whether that step is a real gate or a settings toggle nobody uses. Salesforge's co-pilot mode, Regie's agent-plus-workspace design and BOSRAI's approval-by-default all put a person in the loop at the start. Artisan and 11x are both explicit that the point is autopilot, with approval available if you turn it on. Neither approach is wrong; they are different bets about how much you trust the model with your name attached.

The deeper version of this question — where the machine genuinely beats a person and where it does not — is covered in AI SDR vs human SDR, and if you are earlier than that, what an AI SDR actually is is the place to start.

Situation 3: your buyers were never in the inbox

Read the table again and notice what is missing. Every platform on it is built around email, with LinkedIn and phone bolted on. That is a correct design for selling US and Western European B2B software. It is the wrong design for a large part of the world.

Mark Zuckerberg told Meta's Q1 2025 earnings call that WhatsApp has more than three billion people using it every month, and pointed at markets outside the US as where that weight sits. If you sell in the Gulf, Turkey, South Asia, Nigeria or Brazil, the business conversation you are trying to enter is already happening there. A tool that can only reach a cold inbox is not being outcompeted in those markets — it is not present.

None of the major "11x alternatives" roundups I read while writing this mention WhatsApp, emerging markets, or approval workflow at all. That is not because those things do not matter to buyers. It is because the roundups are written by and for companies operating in one market. The channel argument is worked through in more detail in WhatsApp outreach for B2B sales.

A checklist before you sign anything

Five questions, in this order. The first two eliminate most of the shortlist.

1. Can I see the price without a call? If not, budget a sales cycle to find out, and assume the number is enterprise-shaped.
2. What is the term? Month-to-month, quarterly and annual are three different levels of risk. Annual with an implementation fee is a different product to a $250 monthly plan, whatever the feature grid says.
3. What does one meeting cost? Monthly fee divided by meetings booked. Estimate it honestly with your own reply rates, not the vendor's.
4. Who reads the message before it sends? Decide whether you want a gate. Then check the product actually has one.
5. Is my buyer reachable on the channels this covers? If your market lives on WhatsApp and the tool does email, no amount of AI quality fixes that.

Where BOSRAI fits, and where it does not

BOSRAI is the one on this list I built, so hold it to the same test.

Published pricing: Free at $0 for 250 verified contacts a month, Agent at $99 for 1,500, Growth at $199 for 5,000, Scale at $499 and Pro at $999, monthly, with 20% off if you pay yearly. You can read that on the pricing section right now without talking to anyone. Channels are email, LinkedIn and WhatsApp in one sequence, with WhatsApp used only after a person has engaged. Every workspace starts with messages waiting for your approval; after you have approved five drafts on a channel, that channel can run on autopilot, and anything sent without approval carries a line saying an AI wrote it.

The honest limits. BOSRAI has no published case studies, no customer logos, no G2 score and no benchmark numbers, because it has not earned them yet. 11x and Artisan have enterprise deployments and the operational scar tissue that comes with them. If you need a vendor with reference customers at your size, that is a real reason to buy elsewhere, and I would rather you knew it from this page than from a sales call.

BOSRAI is the right answer in a narrow case: a small team, selling into markets where WhatsApp is the business channel, that wants to read the first messages before a stranger does and hand over one channel at a time. Outside that case, one of the platforms above is probably a better fit — and the checklist will tell you which.
