How does AI Sales Console compare to Artisan?

AI Sales Console is six specialists plus one Brain. They call, email, and text the leads you give them, and carry deals toward close. You approve campaigns, and independence is earned from your own approve, edit and reject record. Artisan does a different job, and the comparison page says which one.

Is AI Sales Console a good alternative to Artisan?

It depends on the job you are buying. If Artisan already does that job for a team you employ, keep it. If the work itself is the gap - research, calls, email, SMS, follow-up, carried past the booked meeting - that is what AI Sales Console does. Team is $1,999/mo for 250 leads worked.

What can AI Sales Console do that Artisan cannot?

Alex places real phone calls on the leads you give us and discloses that he is AI, Mia emails and Zara texts the same lead, and Sage researches before the first touch. The work does not stop at a booked meeting. We publish one named customer, Post Gigs, and no other logos - n=1.

250 leads worked across calls, email and SMS, with booking included. Public ladder, monthly billing, $8.00 per worked lead and extras at the same rate.

Artisan

Email BDR tiers, often annual

Scoped tiers (Team / Scale / Enterprise). Artisan runs a low-cost self-serve door on the email motion, with paid plans reported as annual. Their dialer is a human add-on, not an AI caller. Check artisan.co for the current tiers before you compare.

What Artisan gets right

A published email-BDR ladder with a low entry point
End-to-end email workflow: discovery, enrichment, campaigns, replies, booking
Named account management and customer success support
A built-in contact database for teams that do not have a list

Where it breaks for you

Not an AI caller: the dialer is a human add-on
No native SMS
Annual on paid plans
The mascot-hire pitch is the category cliche we refuse
