What Artisan AI is — in our words
Artisan's Ava is an outbound AI BDR, not inbound lead capture. Given your ideal customer profile, Ava searches a large B2B contact database, enriches prospects, writes one-to-one style email outreach, manages the sending infrastructure around it — warm-up, mailbox health and deliverability controls — handles replies and objections, and books meetings onto a rep's calendar, with an autonomy dial and approval guardrails so a founder can review before full autopilot. Website-visitor and signal features can also flag companies showing intent and trigger outreach. This is the closest pattern to hiring a junior SDR as software, and since its 2026 relaunch it is finally buyable without an enterprise sales cycle at the small end: a free tier for list building and published credit-based startup plans. Read the pricing page carefully, though, because it runs two tracks at once. The Startups tab publishes real prices metered in credits, where a full email campaign costs roughly twenty credits per person contacted. The default Businesses and Enterprises tab — Team, Scale and Enterprise — publishes no price at all and routes you to a demo and a quote. Mailboxes and phone infrastructure can be billed separately, and the human power dialer is an extra per-seat charge, so confirm what a campaign actually consumes before committing annually.
What it does end-to-end
- Find and enrich prospects from a built-in B2B database
- Write, send and follow up personalised outbound email autonomously
- Handle replies and objections and book meetings to your calendar
- Manage warm-up and deliverability infrastructure for its sending
- Offer approval and tone guardrails before full autonomy
What it does NOT do
- Publish prices for its Team, Scale and Enterprise plans — those are quote only
- Include the human power dialer; it is an extra per-seat charge
- Make credit consumption obvious in advance; a campaign costs roughly 20 credits per lead
- Fit founders who want to personally write and control every message
