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.
