AI SDR tools to watch: 8 new AI sales agents in 2026

Unify doesn't sell a "robot rep". It sells a simpler idea: only reach out to companies that show a sign of interest. A visit to your pricing page, a former customer changing jobs, a new hire in a role your product serves. Unify calls it warm outbound: contacting someone who doesn't know you yet, at the moment they show intent. It pulls from 40+ data sources, drafts the email with a language model, and chains emails and calls in one multichannel sequence. Click-to-call is included from the free plan; the Power Dialer sits on the Business plan.

It's the most mature of the young tools on this page. Unify raised a $40M Series B in 2025, led by Battery Ventures, with the OpenAI Startup Fund in the round, and says its revenue grew 8x in a year. Its pricing is also the most transparent: a free plan for up to 3 seats with limited credits and 100 results per search, then Base at $20 per seat per month (800 credits) and Pro at $60 (2,400 credits), with a 14-day Pro trial and no credit card.

In our comparison, the signal layer is what makes the difference on a narrow target: 50 accounts that visited your site beat 2,000 contacts pulled from a database. One detail matters: when your credits run out, actions pause instead of being billed. No surprise invoice at the end of the month. Top-up credits, for their part, carry over for 12 months.

Who it's for: a B2B team that already has site traffic and a clean CRM. Skip it if you're starting from zero, with no visitors and no history: a signals tool with no signals runs on empty.

The risk: website visitor signals, CRM write-back, managed mailboxes ($25 per inbox per month) and the Power Dialer are all on the Business plan, custom-priced and billed annually. Several G2 reviews mention stale contact data and weak phone number coverage. Run your own market through the 14-day trial before you sign an annual deal.

AiSDR was founded in 2023 by a Ukrainian team, went through Y Combinator and raised about $3M. What's new is the pricing model. Where most AI sales agents push an annual contract, AiSDR charges $1.50 per person contacted. Research, list building and copywriting aren't billed on top. You're billed daily, only for people actually prospected, and you can stop whenever you want.

In practice, a 200-prospect test campaign costs you $300. That's the cheapest way to find out whether an AI agent holds up on your market before committing anywhere else. Sign-up needs no sales call and no card: you pay when the campaign launches. A pre-warmed mailbox is a $33 add-on.

Our comparison backs the model for a small team: launch, measure replies over two weeks, cut it if it doesn't land. Above 1,000 contacts a month, AiSDR moves you to team plans on quarterly contracts, priced by volume. Our full AiSDR review looks at the quality of the emails it writes, and the AiSDR pricing page runs the math for your volume.

Who it's for: a founder or small team that wants to test an AI SDR on 100 to 500 prospects. Skip it if most of your outbound runs on LinkedIn: AiSDR is an email tool first.

The risk: the per-contact price climbs fast at volume, and public reviews are still scarce (no Trustpilot reviews when we researched this page). You're buying a young team, not a track record.

Valley starts from something plenty of reps already believe: in B2B, LinkedIn gets more replies than cold email. The New York company, backed by about $3M (Antler, Jason Calacanis), finds prospects, scores them against your ideal customer profile, researches each person, then writes and sends LinkedIn invites and messages. A unified inbox collects the replies.

The pricing is clear, with one catch: every price is per seat. Starter costs $199 per seat per month ($149 billed quarterly) for LinkedIn only. Plus costs $299 per seat ($249 quarterly) and adds email, and Growth is $499 per seat with 1,000 emails a month and $300 in monthly credits. Above 5 seats, the Scale plan is custom. The 7-day trial applies to Starter and requires a card, so put the cancellation date in your calendar the day you sign up.

What stands out in our comparison: the research on each person before the message is Valley's real strength, and it's included in the subscription, along with basic copywriting and LinkedIn sending. What burns credits is finding new prospects, finding and verifying their emails, and enhanced copywriting. At 3 seats, plan on $447 a month minimum on quarterly billing.

Who it's for: a sales team whose buyers live on LinkedIn (agencies, consulting, B2B software). Skip it if you want to push volume by email.

The risk: LinkedIn's User Agreement bans third-party software that automates activity on the site, and LinkedIn can restrict an account. Valley says it stays within LinkedIn's native limits, but it's your personal profile on the line. There are still too few G2 reviews to judge.

Topo was founded in Paris in 2023 and went through Y Combinator. Its founding team comes from sales: CEO Dan Elkaim ran sales strategy at Aircall. What's new is the training step: the agent learns from your knowledge base, your call transcripts and your CRM before it writes a single message. It then watches buying signals on LinkedIn, G2, GitHub and among your website visitors.

The product covers the whole cycle: prospect search, scoring, enrichment, then sequences that mix email, LinkedIn and phone, with a shared inbox. It syncs both ways with HubSpot, Salesforce, Attio and Pipedrive, and the vendor also offers experts who run the outbound for you. Its customer references include Aircall, BearingPoint and Sifflet.

The price is public, which is still rare: Solo at $89 per seat per month (2 seats max, self-serve free trial), Team at $129 per seat from 3 seats, Enterprise custom from 10 seats. Credits come on top of the subscription. In our comparison, the call-transcript training is the most interesting idea on this page for a team that already records its demos. Check the email quality on your own market during the trial anyway.

Who it's for: a B2B SMB or scale-up that wants a multichannel agent and already has call recordings and a CRM worth learning from. Skip it if you only want to pay for what you send: the per-seat subscription runs even in slow months.

The risk: a small team (about a dozen people) and no publicly confirmed funding round. The contract length isn't on the website: get it in writing before you move to Team.

Salesforge is a young company from Tallinn, Estonia, that raised a $500K pre-seed round in 2024. It first sells a cold email sending tool, then an AI agent, Agent Frank, that prospects around the clock. You pick between two modes: Auto-Pilot, where the agent sends on its own, or Co-Pilot, where you approve every message.

What's new is language coverage. Agent Frank works in more than 20 languages, which matters if you sell into Europe or Latin America from a US base. The agent draws on a database of 500M+ contacts. The sending tool alone starts at $40 a month (Pro, 1,000 active contacts, 5,000 emails, one LinkedIn sender), and Growth at $80 adds multilingual sequences and a 14-day trial.

Agent Frank costs $499 a month, billed quarterly, after a mandatory demo. If you don't have sending mailboxes, the managed email infrastructure comes on top ($416 a month billed quarterly for 1,000 active contacts). The real entry cost of the agent is close to $900 a month.

Who it's for: a small team prospecting in several countries that wants to keep control through Co-Pilot mode. Skip it if you want a signals tool: Salesforge starts from a contact database, not from your website visits.

The risk: a modest funding round next to US heavyweights, and a quarterly commitment as soon as you take the agent. Start with Growth and its trial to judge deliverability before you add Agent Frank.

Artisan is the tool everyone has heard of, partly thanks to its "Stop Hiring Humans" billboards in San Francisco. A Y Combinator company, it raised a $25M Series A in 2025, led by Glade Brook Capital with HubSpot Ventures in the round. Its product is Ava: an agent that finds prospects in a database of 250M+ contacts, does the research, writes personalized emails and books meetings, from your own domains and in your reps' names.

What's new is the all-in-one bundle: data, copywriting, sending, deliverability and a dialer in one subscription, where a classic team stitches together lemlist, a data provider and a CRM. Trustpilot reviews are fairly positive (4.1 out of 5 on about forty reviews), driven mostly by the customer success team.

The price isn't public: it's credit-based and quoted on your volume of prospects, mailboxes and dialer seats. Our research turned up one account of an annual commitment around $2,000 a month that couldn't be cancelled mid-term. It's a single testimony, but it says what matters: read the cancellation clause before you sign.

Who it's for: a team that wants to hand off the whole top of the funnel by email, with a budget of several thousand dollars a month. Skip it if LinkedIn or the phone are your main channels: one negative review complains precisely about the lack of LinkedIn outreach.

The risk: an annual commitment on a young tool, and emails that can state false things about the prospect. One Reddit user says they stopped after two months for that reason. Insist on human review of the first sends.

If you sell into Europe and want a vendor in that time zone, Enginy is the name to watch. The company was founded in Barcelona as Genesy (the old genesy.ai address now redirects to enginy.ai). It raised a €5M seed round in 2025, led by Samaipata, one of the largest rounds a Spanish fund put into generative AI that year.

The product brings together what you'd expect from a prospecting agent: an account-finding engine, waterfall enrichment across 30+ data sources, campaigns that mix email and LinkedIn (invite, message, liking a post, with conditions between each step), a smart inbox and analytics. Two published case studies stand out: Factorial, the HR software company, and SeQura, the Spanish buy-now-pay-later provider. The vendor also offers Slack alerts as soon as a prospect replies positively.

Based on the vendor's demo and documentation, its conditional multichannel logic is the most granular on this page: you can, for example, wait for a LinkedIn invite to be accepted before sending the email. The results the vendor publishes (reply rates from 10% to 45% at one customer) are vendor testimonials: don't read them as a promise.

Who it's for: a scale-up prospecting across Europe in several languages. Skip it if you want a public price and self-serve onboarding: everything goes through a demo.

The risk: a recent name change and no public pricing. Ask for the list of native CRM integrations in writing before the demo, since the homepage doesn't name them.

11x became the poster child of the AI sales agent wave: a $24M Series A led by Benchmark, then about $50M in a Series B led by Andreessen Horowitz in 2024. Its agent Alice prospects by email from managed Gmail inboxes, syncs your CRM both ways and, on the Pro plan, writes in 105+ languages.

It's on this page for one simple reason: you'll see it on every list, and its recent history matters before you sign. In 2025, a TechCrunch investigation reported that 11x displayed logos of companies that were no longer customers (ZoomInfo, Airtable) and counted contracts cancelled during their trial period as recurring revenue. The founder stepped down as CEO about two months later, the CTO took over, and Alice was rebuilt.

It's the most expensive tool on the page: the Growth plan starts at $3,750 a month billed annually, for 5 users and 2,000 new prospects a month. The FAQ on 11x's own pricing page mentions $36,000 a year, which is $9,000 less than its own price table. Get the exact amount written into the order form.

Who it's for: a large sales team with a RevOps lead to run the tool day to day. Skip it if you contact fewer than 2,000 prospects a month: you'll pay for capacity you don't use.

The risk: the highest on this page, both financial (annual contract, multi-year terms offered on Pro and Enterprise) and reputational. Ask for three current customers you can call yourself, and check they're still customers.
