Pricing notes
Verified August 2026 at https://www.artisan.co/pricing. Plans are quote-only via Talk to sales: Team, Scale, and Enterprise scoped by leads contacted per month. Every plan includes full platform features and CRM sync; AI dialer is a separate per-seat add-on (dollar rate not published). No public Free tier or list prices on the live page as of this check; ignore stale third-party self-serve figures unless re-confirmed on artisan.co/pricing.
Pros & cons
Editorial notes to help compare fit before opening the vendor site.
Pros
End-to-end BDR workflow (data through booking) in one product
Explicit autonomy/guardrail controls for enterprise buyers
Large built-in B2B contact graph reduces ZoomInfo-only dependency
Strong category mindshare from AI employee positioning
Cons
No published dollar prices
every plan is sales-scoped
Short-lived self-serve pricing was pulled
expect procurement friction
Dialer seat add-on cost is opaque on the public page
Autonomous outbound still needs strong deliverability and brand risk review
Review notes
Context from the listing review and editorial research.
NEW tool. Canonical product is Ava at artisan.co. Ambiguous name: many unrelated Artisan companies exist; do not confuse with Avatar AI directory rows. Direct competitor set: 11x Alice, Jason AI, Regie.
