That empty seat already costs $11,200 a month.
One human SDR runs $11,200-$12,800 a month fully loaded (Bridge Group 2025 on-target earnings plus BLS employer-cost factors, tools, and management). A published human-booked meeting is $766+. That hire still stops at the meeting. Team is $1,999 a month for 250 leads worked, and the work goes through close.

Methodology: human figures are published benchmarks: $80,000+ on-target earnings (The Bridge Group 2025 SDR report), 1.25-1.4x employer-cost load (BLS ECEC), $6-10K/yr tools, manager share. $766+ per human-booked meeting, derived from 2026 loaded-cost and output benchmarks. AI Sales Console figures are plan prices and platform capacity, not outcome promises. Your results depend on your ICP and offer.

Get StartedThe Math, in questions.
How much does an AI SDR cost compared to a human SDR?
One human SDR costs $11,200-$12,800 per month fully loaded ($80,000+ on-target per The Bridge Group 2025, plus BLS employer-cost factors, tools, and management), and human benchmarks derive to $766+ per booked meeting. AI Sales Console Team is $1,999 per month ($23,988 per year), live in 72 hours, and works the whole cycle through close. We do not publish a company cost-per-close.
What do you actually get for $1,999 instead of $11,200?
Paying $1,999 instead of $11,200+ does not mean a toy seat. AI Sales Console is built for the output of a team: capacity for 500+ calls a day, under-60-second speed to lead, and first live calls within 72 hours of signup. The point is more of the cycle worked, not a cheaper meeting-setter.
What does AI Sales Console cost per month?
AI Sales Console is priced on leads worked, with no per-seat fee: Team $1,999, Growth Pro $2,999, Growth Elite $3,999, SDR Team $7,999, plus custom Enterprise. Every full-team plan includes all six agents, the learning Brain, and CRM integration. Annual billing saves 17%. Single-agent plans start at $199 for one channel. Tiers above Team work more leads at about $6.00-$6.15 per included lead versus $8.00 on Team.
What is the real fully-loaded cost of a human SDR?
A B2B SDR's on-target earnings are commonly $80,000+ per year (The Bridge Group 2025; base often $52,000-$63,000 per Payscale), before benefits, software, management, and a 3-4 month ramp. Fully loaded, one SDR runs $134,000+ a year. A three-person team is $400,000+ before a closer is paid.
How fast does AI Sales Console pay for itself?
The cost gap is immediate: Team at $23,988 a year is about a sixth of one fully loaded SDR at $134,000+ a year, with no 3-4 month ramp and coverage that does not stop at 5pm. Use the calculator above to see the salary gap on your own headcount. Payback in pipeline is yours to measure. We do not invent a weeks-to-ROI number.

- What Does It Really Cost to Hire an SDR in 2026?
Salary is only the start. Payroll load, tooling, management, and a 3-4 month ramp make a human SDR far more expensive than the offer letter suggests.

- Commission vs Salary vs AI: Three Ways to Pay for Pipeline
Commission indexes your pipeline cost to revenue, salary indexes it to time, and AI indexes it to leads worked. What each one really costs per result.
Human SDR figures ($11,200-$12,800 a month fully loaded) derive from The Bridge Group 2025 SDR report (on-target earnings), BLS employer-cost release (employer load on payroll), RepVue (SDR compensation), plus a typical tool stack and a manager's share. The cost-per-meeting figure divides that loaded cost by a 10-14.6 meetings-a-month median; it is derived, not a published price. Our own numbers are plan prices and capacity, never outcome promises. Model it on the AI SDR cost calculator.
