11x AI Alternatives in 2026
11x Alice is the most expensive named AI SDR, with Vendr putting the median closed contract at $55,050 a year. Most teams searching for an alternative want one of two things: the same outbound prospecting for less, or per-minute cost control on the inbound voice that 11x Julian handles. Here is the honest field of competitors, priced.
Last verified June 2026; every vendor figure on this page re-read from the vendor's pricing page or Vendr's marketplace on 23 September 2026.
The short answer
The cheapest like-for-like alternative to 11x Alice is Artisan Ava, where Vendr's median closed contract is $30,000 a year against $55,050 for Alice, a 45 percent saving with the trade-off of the lowest G2 rating among named AI SDRs. Regie.ai is the only vendor here with a published price, at $0 free and $49 a month on Pro, and is the cheapest way to test the category at all, though Pro is single-user and team features are quoted. To replace 11x Julian (inbound voice) and pay per minute instead of a per-agent subscription, build on Vapi or Retell ($0.082 to $0.149 all-in per minute), accepting that you own the engineering and the TCPA/CIPA/GDPR compliance.
§11x vs the Alternatives at a Glance
| Platform | Starting price | G2 | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 11x (Alice + Julian) | Not published; Vendr median $55,050/yr | 4.4 | Broadest platform; Alice outbound + Julian inbound voice in one suite. The incumbent you are comparing against. |
| Artisan (Ava) | Not published; Vendr median $30,000/yr | 4.0 | Cheapest of the two quote-only AI SDRs on observed contract value, 45 percent below 11x on Vendr's medians. |
| Regie.ai | $0 free, $49/mo Pro, Enterprise custom | 4.4 | The only named AI SDR vendor that publishes a price at all, and the only way to test the category without a demo. Pro is self-serve, cancel anytime, with 5,000 credits a month. |
| Amplemarket Duo | Custom (Amplemarket bundle) | — | Useful if you already run Amplemarket for data and sequencing; one vendor, one contract. |
| AiSDR | Per-email / per-lead | — | Usage pricing suits spiky or seasonal outbound; pay for sends, not a fixed monthly seat. |
| Relevance AI | Enterprise only, custom | — | Flexible if you want to assemble the workflow yourself rather than buy Alice-style packaging. |
| Build-your-own voice (Vapi / Retell) | $0.082-$0.149/min all-in | — | Per-minute cost control instead of a $4,000-$6,000/mo Julian subscription. Vapi's own calculator puts an all-in minute at $0.082-$0.129 on free Vapi Telephony; a comparable Retell stack is $0.149. |
Only Regie.ai, Vapi and Retell publish rates; 11x, Artisan, Amplemarket, AiSDR and Relevance AI are quote-only, so their figures are Vendr-observed contract values, not vendor prices. Vendr's 11x.ai listing shows a $55,050 median contract value, a $38,250 low, an $89,850 high, a named Advanced tier at $45,000 a year carrying 3,500 new prospects a month, and a $30,000 redline threshold, read 23 September 2026. The $45,000 this page previously called the median is that Advanced tier price.
§Each Alternative, Honestly
Artisan (Ava)
Not published; Vendr median $30,000/yr
What it matches
Outbound AI SDR: prospecting, enrichment, email, multichannel sequencing. Agent-class, like Alice.
Where it wins on 11x
Cheapest of the two quote-only AI SDRs on observed contract value, 45 percent below 11x on Vendr's medians.
Watch out for
Withdrew its published $280 and $660 plans during 2026; plans are now sized by leads contacted per month and quoted on a call, with the AI dialer charged per seat on top. Lowest G2 rating among peers; email-quality concerns reported at high send volume.
Regie.ai
$0 free, $49/mo Pro, Enterprise custom
What it matches
Self-serve prospecting workspace (RegieGO): research, enrichment, drafting, dialling and agents, metered in credits.
Where it wins on 11x
The only named AI SDR vendor that publishes a price at all, and the only way to test the category without a demo. Pro is self-serve, cancel anytime, with 5,000 credits a month.
Watch out for
Free is single-user and Pro is built for one person filling the pipeline; team workspaces, shared agents and custom CRM sync all sit behind unpublished Enterprise pricing, so a team is back in a negotiation. Credits do not roll over, and Regie publishes no credits-per-prospect rate.
Amplemarket Duo
Custom (Amplemarket bundle)
What it matches
AI SDR layered on the Amplemarket prospecting data and outreach platform.
Where it wins on 11x
Useful if you already run Amplemarket for data and sequencing; one vendor, one contract.
Watch out for
Demo-gated, custom pricing; value is tied to also buying the underlying Amplemarket platform.
AiSDR
Per-email / per-lead
What it matches
Outbound AI SDR billed on usage rather than a flat per-agent subscription.
Where it wins on 11x
Usage pricing suits spiky or seasonal outbound; pay for sends, not a fixed monthly seat.
Watch out for
Per-email economics get expensive at sustained high volume; model the annualised cost before committing.
Relevance AI
Enterprise only, custom
What it matches
Build-an-agent platform that can run an AI SDR workflow among other agent use cases.
Where it wins on 11x
Flexible if you want to assemble the workflow yourself rather than buy Alice-style packaging.
Watch out for
Relevance withdrew its self-serve tiers during 2026. The $19 to $599 a month plans this page previously listed are gone and the published page now carries an Enterprise tier at custom pricing only, so it is no longer the cheap entry point it was. Not a turnkey SDR out of the box either.
Build-your-own voice (Vapi / Retell)
$0.082-$0.149/min all-in
What it matches
Replaces 11x Julian (inbound voice qualification) with a custom agent you own end to end.
Where it wins on 11x
Per-minute cost control instead of a $4,000-$6,000/mo Julian subscription. Vapi's own calculator puts an all-in minute at $0.082-$0.129 on free Vapi Telephony; a comparable Retell stack is $0.149.
Watch out for
6 to 12 months of engineering, and you own TCPA, CIPA, and GDPR compliance yourself. Neither vendor publishes a volume tier, so scale pricing is a quote. Not a buy-and-deploy SDR.
§Which Alternative Fits Your Reason for Leaving
“11x is too expensive”
Start with Artisan Ava, where Vendr's median closed contract is $30,000/yr against $55,050 for 11x. You give up the broadest platform and accept a lower G2 rating, but cut observed spend by 45 percent for outbound-only prospecting. To test the category for almost nothing first, Regie.ai Pro is $49/mo self-serve.
“I only need inbound voice (Julian)”
Build on Retell or Vapi and pay per minute. Cheaper at moderate call volume, but you own the build and the compliance. See build vs buy.
“I want to test the category before any contract”
Regie.ai is the only one that lets you. Free at $0 with 250 credits, Pro at $49/mo self-serve with no contract. Regie repackaged around RegieGO during 2026 and dropped the Silver, Gold and Platinum data packages this page used to describe, so model your credit burn on the free tier before committing.
“Is it actually worth switching?”
Run the numbers first. The cost-per-meeting calculator compares any monthly fee against your meeting target, so you can see whether a cheaper tool that books fewer meetings is actually cheaper per outcome.
