Allying vs
Artisan.
Artisan sells Ava, an AI BDR that finds leads, writes and sends outreach and books meetings, on plans it prices in a demo. Allying does the job you posted, in your own name, for 30% of the salary in your posting, a month, with a monthly minimum for each job, a named person who answers for it and the first week done before any conversation.
What Artisan does well
Artisan's product is Ava, an AI BDR that finds and enriches B2B leads, writes and sends personalized outreach, handles replies and books meetings [2]. The idea is one platform for the whole outbound stack: B2B data, enrichment, deliverability, sequencing, a dialer and intent signals [2]. Every plan includes the full platform, with autonomous replies and meeting booking; the platform is SOC 2 Type II certified with SSO and audit logs; every plan starts with onboarding sessions and CSM support in a shared Slack channel [1]. For a sales team that wants outbound consolidated in one place, it is a serious product.
How Artisan is sold
Three tiers, none with a published price. Team, for a first serious outbound motion, at about 2,500 leads contacted a month; Scale, for outbound across reps and segments, at about 6,000 leads contacted a month, with a dedicated CSM, CRM setup and priority support; Enterprise for custom volume and security, with a forward-deployed strategist [1]. Pricing is scoped on your plan and you talk to sales; credit volume and dialer seats are tuned to your pipeline, with an AI dialer add-on per seat [1]. The way in is a demo request [2].
The honest differences
Artisan is an outbound platform your reps run. Allying is one job, done in your name, with someone who answers for it.
| What a job is | Artisan | Allying |
|---|---|---|
| Who does the work | A sales tool: Ava prospects, writes, sends and books; your reps take the meetings and, on the dialer, the calls. | Allying does the whole job on the posting, with a named specialist who answers for it. |
| The first week | A demo, then a plan scoped by sales; no figure on the page. | The first week of the job is done before any conversation and before the first dollar; then a free week, starting with a short call. |
| Who answers for it | A CSM in a shared Slack channel; a dedicated one on Scale. | A named person with a face, a phone number and expertise in the job. Every action is on the record, with a daily note and a weekly report. |
| Where the work happens | In its own platform, mailboxes and dialer, synced to your CRM. | In your own channels, Slack, Teams, text, WhatsApp or email, with its own phone number. Nothing reaches a customer without your yes until you say it no longer needs asking. |
| What it costs | Not published; scoped on your plan. Ask them. | $1,500 a month on a $60,000 posting (30% of the posted salary, after a free week) |
