Six AI SDR tools compared, and the one that keeps your reps as the sender

TL;DR

• Of the best AI SDR tools in 2026, Curviate Automate is the pick for sales teams that want outreach sent from their own reps' real LinkedIn accounts.
• Curviate costs $60 per LinkedIn account a month with nothing metered; the AI SDRs price by plan caps, prospects reached or active contacts, before mailboxes.
• AI SDRs write and send as an agent. Curviate keeps your reps as the sender, hands each contact to the rep already connected, and puts replies in one inbox.

An AI SDR tool is software whose own agent finds prospects, writes the messages and follows up for you. That works when you have no reps. If you have five reps with real LinkedIn accounts and a network behind each, Curviate Automate is the better buy: it runs your outreach from their accounts instead of replacing them. I build Curviate.

How we picked

The AI SDR market splits on one question: who is the sender? Some agents send from mailboxes and accounts the vendor helps you set up. Others work through your own reps. I ranked for a sales team of 1 to 5 reps that prospects on LinkedIn, on five criteria:

• Who sends, and whether the prospect hears from a person with a real profile and history.
• LinkedIn depth: which steps run on LinkedIn, not just on email.
• Team fit: one plan across several reps, and who reaches which contact.
• Price you can read on the site, without a demo call.
• Account safety: limits, pacing and what happens when LinkedIn pushes back.

Who sends, who writes, what it costs

Free trial	7 days, no card	Yes, length not stated	Build free, pay to go live

The AI SDRs sequence email, which Curviate Motions do not. Curviate leads on who is speaking, and on LinkedIn depth. Your prospect gets a message from a rep they can look up, through the account they built themselves.

What the money buys

The prices are not in the same unit, so a bar chart would mislead. Gojiberry PRO is one plan at $99 a month with two AI agents and up to 1,800 prospects contacted. AiSDR charges $1.50 per person prospected with no monthly fee. Agent Frank's pricing card shows $499 a month for 1,000 active contacts, billed quarterly, while its FAQ says $599, before mailbox infrastructure. Artisan and 11x publish no prices.

• $60per LinkedIn account a month, everything included
• $300a month for five reps' accounts
• $0per extra teammate

Curviate prices per connected LinkedIn account, and nothing in it runs out mid-month. The $300 for five reps covers Motions, one inbox for every account, analytics per step, per account and per variant, contacts and lists, and the full API, CLI and MCP server. Teammates and managers are free.

Try it on your own accounts: 7 days of Automate, no card.

1. Curviate Automate: best for teams with their own reps' accounts

Curviate Automate

Sales teams running 1 to 5 reps' LinkedIn accounts

$60 per LinkedIn account a month

Pros

• Sends from your reps' real accounts
• Warm path: each contact goes to the rep already connected
• Your own AI agent can run it through the MCP server

Cons

• No email steps
• Your team writes the messages, or your own agent does

Verdict: The pick when your reps' networks are the asset and you want AI to work through them.

Curviate is not an AI SDR. It is the engine that runs outreach on your team's own accounts. You build one Motion: visit, invite, message, InMail, voice note, follow up, with branches for accepted, not accepted and replied, and message variants to see which text gets more replies. It runs across every rep's account at once.

Each contact can go only to the account already connected to them, so a warm lead hears from the rep who knows them. People already in another Motion or an open chat are skipped, and the Motion stops when someone replies. Every reply lands in one Unibox, where the rep answers as themselves.

The AI is optional and yours. Your own agent, such as Claude Code, can build, start and watch Motions through the hosted MCP server, the CLI or 279 API operations, 133 of them LinkedIn actions and reads. The longer argument is in AI SDR vs agent-native GTM.

Safety is on by default: limits per action per account, set to its LinkedIn plan, that stop the Motion; working hours in each rep's timezone; a warm-up for new or quiet accounts; and Motions that pause when LinkedIn pushes back, with nothing sent into the pause (safety).

2. Gojiberry: best for founders without an SDR team

Gojiberry

Founders who want signal-based prospecting run for them

$99 a month (PRO)

Pros

• Agents detect buying and social signals and score prospects
• LinkedIn and email in one workflow
• Replies pre-written for you

Cons

• Senders per PRO plan not stated
• Team view and more senders only on Custom, no price

Verdict: Good for one founder; a five-rep team gets one plan across every account on Curviate.

Gojiberry's agents watch for buying and social signals, score each prospect against your ideal customer, and send personalized messages by LinkedIn and email. PRO includes two agents and up to 1,800 prospects contacted a month.

It is the closest AI SDR to LinkedIn. For a team, its pages leave the key question open: how many reps' accounts PRO sends from. More senders and a team view sit on Custom, with no listed price. On Curviate, five accounts are $300 and every rep is in the same Motion.

3. AiSDR: best for paying per person reached

AiSDR's agent, Ami, runs campaigns over email and LinkedIn, including InMail and voice notes. Pay as you go costs $1.50 per person prospected, charged daily. Team plans for 1,000 or more people a month are priced on a call, on quarterly contracts.

Per person pricing is easy to start with. Forty people a month already costs as much as one Curviate account, which has no per-person charge.

4. Salesforge Agent Frank: best for email-heavy outbound

Salesforge Agent Frank

Outbound that lives in email, on your own domains and mailboxes

$499 on the card, $599 in the FAQ, billed quarterly

Pros

• Researches each prospect before writing
• Connects your own domains and mailboxes
• Unlimited email and LinkedIn senders listed

Cons

• No free trial
• Mailbox infrastructure costs extra

Verdict: An email-first AI SDR; for LinkedIn on your reps' accounts, Curviate is the focused pick.

Frank finds prospects, researches their company and likely objections, writes the outreach, follows up and books meetings. Pricing is per active contact: the card shows $499 a month for 1,000, billed quarterly, while the FAQ says it "starts at $599 per month". Either way, mailbox infrastructure is extra and there is no free trial.

5. Artisan: best for email sent in your reps' names

Artisan

Teams that want an AI BDR sending email from their own domains

Credit-based, no price published

Pros

• Ava runs outbound end to end
• Email sent from your domains in your reps' names

Cons

• No price on the site
• LinkedIn not mentioned in its product guide

Verdict: For email outbound; Curviate covers the LinkedIn side your reps already own.

Artisan's Ava sources and enriches lists, writes and sends emails, handles replies and books calls. Its product guide says outreach is "sent from your own domains in your reps' names", and plans are "scoped to lead volume, mailboxes, and dialer seats". It publishes no prices.

6. 11x: best for enterprise multichannel sequences

11x

Enterprises that want email, social and dials coordinated

Not published, demo only

Pros

• Alice works email and social in one sequence
• Dials and voice agents in the same platform

Cons

• No price on the site
• Sending mechanics not described

Verdict: An enterprise platform buy; a five-rep team gets going on Curviate today with a 7-day trial.

11x calls Alice its email and social agent, built to "research every account, craft a relevant message, and earn the reply", and coordinates "email, social, and dials in one unified sequence". There is no price on the site; you book a demo.

When an AI SDR is the right tool

• You have no reps to send from. An AI SDR does the prospecting and the writing, and Gojiberry says it is live in 5 minutes.
• Email is the main channel. Agent Frank, Artisan and AiSDR run email sequences; Curviate Motions have no email steps. For email and LinkedIn in one sequence, see the lemlist alternatives.

If this is you	Pick
Five reps, real LinkedIn accounts, replies in one inbox	Curviate Automate
Your own agent should run LinkedIn outreach	Curviate Automate
A founder with no SDR, signal-based LinkedIn prospecting	Gojiberry
Test outbound and pay per person reached	AAiSDR
High-volume cold email on your own mailboxes	Salesforge Agent Frank

Whichever tool you pick, the LinkedIn risk is the same. LinkedIn's help center says members who use automation "risk having their accounts restricted or shut down", and every vendor here limits and paces for that reason. How a team spreads that risk across several accounts is in the guide to LinkedIn outreach from multiple accounts.

Keep your reps as the sender

Connect one rep's account on the 7-day trial, build one Motion and let your agent watch the results per step. When it works, add the other four accounts. The tools that build the list first are in LinkedIn lead generation tools, and the campaign tools beyond AI SDRs are ranked in the best LinkedIn automation tools.
