CharacterQuilt is an AI marketing companion. Its agents research accounts, build on-brand ads, one-pagers, emails and landing pages, and launch them in Marketo, HubSpot, Salesforce and your ad platforms after your team approves. AI SDR is one of its plays, alongside ABM, ad and audience optimization, events, intent and AEO.
Artisan is the closest like-for-like 11x alternative for outbound. Its AI BDR, Ava, finds leads in a database of 250M+ contacts, writes and tests personalized email and social sequences, handles replies and books meetings, working inside the approval mode and escalation rules you set. Where 11x adds Julian for inbound voice and chat, Ava focuses on outbound and queues call steps for your reps to dial.
Qualified's Piper is an AI SDR agent for inbound. She meets website visitors over chat, voice or video, follows up with leads by email, serves personalized offers and books meetings, working from your go-to-market data.
Regie.ai fits reps who would rather stay in the loop than hand conversations to agents like 11x's Alice and Julian. Its RegieGO workspace sources and enriches prospects, drafts each day's email in your voice and builds a ranked call queue for a built-in power dialer, while you send and dial yourself. A free plan and self-serve paid plans with no contract also make it an easier first step than an annual 11x plan.
AiSDR is a lighter way to test AI outbound than an annual 11x plan. Its agent, Ami, finds prospects, writes personalized email and LinkedIn messages and books meetings, with a stated focus on lead quality over volume. You can start without a sales call at $1.50 per person prospected.
Unify suits reps who want outbound agents inside their own workflow rather than a separate platform of revenue agents. From a single chat, reps build lists from 40+ data sources, enrich contacts and turn any list into email, social and call sequences, with deliverability managed. You can start free and pay in credits, without the annual plan 11x bills by default.
If missed inbound leads are the leak, look at Qualified. If you need net-new pipeline, Artisan, AiSDR and Unify focus on outbound. If you want both from one platform, 11x's Alice and Julian already cover that.
Artisan and AiSDR can run outreach on their own inside your guardrails, and Unify automates repeatable prospecting. Regie.ai keeps the seller closer to the work, with agents preparing lists, drafts and call queues.
Every tool here except CharacterQuilt is built for sales conversations. If the gap is the campaign around them, such as ABM, ads, events and landing pages, CharacterQuilt is the better fit, and it runs beside any of them.
Regie.ai has a free plan, Unify starts free on credits, and AiSDR offers pay-as-you-go. Artisan, Qualified and 11x's larger plans are quoted through sales.
If you want one platform for AI conversations across inbound and outbound, 11x remains a strong choice, and Artisan is the closest like-for-like alternative for outbound. Pick Qualified when inbound on your website is the priority, Regie.ai or Unify when reps want agents inside their own workflow, and AiSDR to start small on pay-as-you-go. Choose CharacterQuilt when the gap is the marketing campaign itself, and pair it with any of these.
It depends on the motion. Artisan is the closest alternative for autonomous outbound, Qualified for inbound conversations on your website, and Regie.ai or Unify for reps who want agents in their own workspace. If your team needs on-brand campaigns built and launched rather than more sales outreach, CharacterQuilt is the better fit.
Several tools let you start smaller. Regie.ai has a free plan and self-serve paid plans, Unify lets you start free on credits, and AiSDR offers pay-as-you-go pricing per person prospected. 11x bills its plans annually and publishes a starting price for its Growth plans.
Yes. Alice runs outbound across email, social and a rep dialer, and Julian handles inbound over voice, chat, SMS and WhatsApp, qualifying leads and routing them to the right rep.
11x is an AI sales agent platform for pipeline conversations across inbound, outbound and expansion. CharacterQuilt is an AI marketing companion that learns your brand, builds the creative a campaign needs, and launches it in your marketing stack with approvals. AI SDR is one CharacterQuilt play, so many teams use the two side by side.
