Where AiSDR / Artisan / 11x Wins
Self-serve control
If you want to tinker with every setting and run campaigns your way, platform-based tools give you more control.
Lower entry price
Some AI SDR tools start at $500/month or less. If budget is the primary constraint, they offer a lower entry point.
Enterprise features (11x)
11x is built for enterprise. If you need SSO, advanced compliance, and custom integrations at scale, they are built for that.
Where SentByTed Wins
Managed service
You do not operate Ted. Ted operates your pipeline. No learning curve. No configuration headaches. No ongoing management.
Infrastructure included
Most AI SDR tools leave sending infrastructure to you. Ted manages domains, warming, authentication, and deliverability end to end.
Production consistency
AI SDR tools often struggle after month 1 when initial prospect lists thin out. Ted continuously sources fresh prospects and optimizes campaigns.
Transparent pricing
No per-email fees. No usage-based surprises. Flat monthly rate for the full pipeline.
