When Artisan is still the right call

Alternatives aren't always better. Stay with Artisan if:

  • Outbound is your only channel and you want a dedicated SDR tool.
  • You have a sales team that will work the replies.
  • You need enterprise security reviews (SOC 2, SSO).
FAQ

Artisan alternatives, answered

What's a cheaper alternative to an AI SDR?

Sending tools like Instantly or Smartlead cost less, but you write and run the sequences. Cosmo writes and runs them for $99 a month, and each batch waits for your yes.

Can Cosmo replace an AI SDR?

For founders and small teams where outbound is one channel, often yes. If you have a sales team booking many meetings a day, a dedicated SDR tool goes deeper.
