The best AI SDR software in 2026: eight tools compared by what each one does
Eight products sold as AI SDRs, from enterprise agents to a tool you pay per person, compared on who they find, which channels they work, whether you approve before they send and what they cost.
Quick answer: The best AI SDR software depends on where your buyers answer and how much control you want. For a large team that wants AI agents across email, social and calls, 11x or Artisan; for AI inside a full sales platform, Amplemarket or Regie.ai; to pay per person reached, AiSDR; for cold email at volume in 20+ languages, Salesforge's Agent Frank; for signal-led LinkedIn outreach with HubSpot, Valley. If your buyers are on LinkedIn and you want one agent that finds them from what they do, writes to them on LinkedIn and email, finds their work emails and answers replies, FOUND, at $69 a month.

FOUND
FOUND is an AI SDR for LinkedIn that covers the whole week described above: it finds the people, writes to them on LinkedIn and email, finds their work emails and answers their replies. It drafts your buyer from your website or takes your own description and watches seven kinds of buying signal every day: a post about the problem you solve, engagement with a competitor's posts, with your market's topics or with your own page, a new role, a company hiring the team you sell to, a fresh funding round, and, on Premium, a profile view. Nobody becomes a lead until their headline and then their full profile match your buyer and every lead and every rejection carries a named reason.
Two agents come with the plan, each with its own buyer, up to 15 signals and its own campaign, so one can work a competitor's engagers while the other works new roles. Sequences of up to 8 steps mix LinkedIn, the invitation with a note on Premium and then messages, with email from your own mailbox, each message written in your tone from what that person did. For a list on demand, Ask turns one sentence into up to 50 companies, with the right person at each and their email.
- Emails
- Verified work emails for your leads from the credits every plan includes, 100 a month on the $69 plan, with the cost shown before anything runs.
- Replies
- One inbox for LinkedIn and email, with drafted replies and a reply agent you switch on thread by thread: it answers, offers your meeting link when someone is interested and hands you anything it cannot promise.
- Control
- Review mode keeps every invitation, message and email waiting for your approval until you turn on autopilot. A reply cancels what was queued for that person.
- Teach it
- More like this, Fewer like this and Not this person, on any lead.
- Works with
- Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP client: 18 tools that read your pipeline, research, draft, find companies and work emails at a shown price and prepare paused campaigns; nothing sends from chat. Webhooks, a Slack alert on each reply and CSV export.
- Price
- $69 a month for two agents, one LinkedIn account, one mailbox and 100 credits; $59 for each teammate and $39 for each extra agent, with real leads for your buyer shown before you pay.
- Pick it if
- your buyers answer on LinkedIn. For most teams, from a founder selling alone to a full sales team, that makes it the stronger pick: it chooses people by what they did this week and writes from that, runs LinkedIn and email together, finds the emails, answers replies and keeps a campaign per signal, for one monthly price. Another agent fits better if you need voice and a dialer, a large contact database or cold email at volume.
How FOUND chooses which signals to watch and what to say for each, is in LinkedIn buying signals.
How we picked
Each product here is sold as an AI SDR or AI BDR and does at least three parts of the job itself: finding or ranking people, writing to them, following up and handling replies. A product whose pages would not load for us was left out rather than described from memory. Then we compared four things:
- Who it finds. A database you filter, signals that someone is showing need or the list you already have.
- Where it reaches them. Email, LinkedIn, phone or all three. If your buyers answer on LinkedIn, an email-first agent with a social step is a different product from one built around LinkedIn; LinkedIn automation tools covers the sequencers.
- How much control you keep. Whether you can approve each message, set escalation rules and take a thread back.
- How it is priced. Per person reached, per seat, per contact tier or by contract. Price the volume you will really send.
Before you sign with any of them, hold it to the questions in what an AI outbound agent should never do.
How we checked
On 25 Oct 2026 we read each vendor's home page and, where it has one, its pricing page and copied prices with their billing period. Where a site shows no price, we say so. FOUND's side comes from the product itself. These are vendors' own descriptions, not a test, so no reply or meeting rate appears for any of them. Found a price that has changed?

Questions
What is the best AI SDR software?
It depends on where your buyers answer. For an enterprise team that wants AI agents across email, social and calls, 11x or Artisan. For AI inside a full sales platform, Amplemarket. To pay per person reached on email and LinkedIn, AiSDR. For LinkedIn, Valley starts from signals and so does FOUND, at $69 a month: it finds the people from buying signals, writes each LinkedIn message and email from why they were found, finds their work emails and answers replies.
How much does an AI SDR cost?
From $1.50 a person to contracts priced by a sales team. AiSDR charges $1.50 per person prospected; Regie.ai's Pro plan is $49 a month; Valley starts at $199 a seat a month; Agent Frank is $599 a month billed quarterly; Amplemarket's Startup plan is $600 a month on an annual term; 11x and Artisan price on request. FOUND is $69 a month for two agents, one LinkedIn account, one mailbox and 100 credits for work emails.
Can I approve what an AI SDR sends before it goes out?
In most of these, yes. Artisan has an approval mode for Ava's replies, Agent Frank's Co-Pilot mode asks for your review before sending, Valley leaves approvals with you and Amplemarket's reps review Duo's work before it sends. FOUND's review mode holds every invitation, message and email until you approve it and its reply agent answers only the threads you switch it on for.
Which AI SDR tools work on LinkedIn?
AiSDR's sequences include LinkedIn connection requests, DMs, InMails and voice notes; Valley runs its outreach on LinkedIn; Agent Frank runs email and LinkedIn; Regie.ai puts email, LinkedIn and phone on one timeline. FOUND starts on LinkedIn: it finds people there from buying signals, sends from your own account at a human pace and mixes email from your own mailbox into the same sequence.
Can I run an AI SDR from Claude or ChatGPT?
Several offer MCP access. Valley can be used from Claude or ChatGPT, Amplemarket's MCP works from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor and Salesforge lists an MCP and CLI on its Growth plan. FOUND's connector gives your assistant 18 tools that read, draft and prepare work for you; none of them sends. What each server allows is compared in LinkedIn MCP servers.
