The best 11x alternative depends on whether you want one digital worker for outbound or a team of agents that works across the business. The 10 picks are Dock, Artisan, AiSDR, Amplemarket, Regie.ai, HubSpot's Prospecting Agent, Salesforce Agentforce, Relevance AI, Lindy and Bland. Artisan and AiSDR are the closest swaps for Alice, Bland is the closest build-it-yourself swap for Julian, and HubSpot or Salesforce make sense if your CRM already lives there. For a business that wants agents running sales, marketing and operations together, with people approving what matters, we think Dock is the better pick. We build Dock, so weigh our view accordingly.
11x is a serious company. It launched Alice in October 2023 as, in its own words, "the world's first Digital Worker", and TechCrunch reported in 2024, citing sources, that it had raised a $50 million Series B led by a16z. Today 11x sells two products. Alice runs outbound across email, social and a power dialer. Julian runs inbound and expansion, with voice and chat agents that "contact, qualify and book meetings like your best rep, 24/7, across multiple languages."
Every claim below about the other nine links to the vendor's own page or launch coverage.
Why teams look for an 11x alternative
11x sells specialist digital workers for revenue teams, and it is clear about who it is for. Its Alice pricing page describes the entry plan as "for teams putting a digital worker on their outbound pipeline for the first time." The reasons people look elsewhere mostly come from 11x's own pages.
The floor is high and the contract is annual. As of November 2026, Alice's Growth plan is listed at "Starting at $3,750 / mo," billed annually, for up to 5 users and 2,000 new prospects a month. The FAQ on the same page says "11x starts at $36,000 per year on the Growth plan," which does not match the plan card, so get the number in writing. Pro and Enterprise are custom quotes. 11x's help center says annual billing is the default, Pro and Enterprise can run two or three years, and stopping a renewal takes 30 days' written notice. In fairness, 11x also says there are no setup or implementation fees at any tier, and that it charges "per lead, not per send."
Inbound is a second product with a second price. Julian's pricing page lists Growth voice from $5,333 a month for 2,000 calls and 3 concurrent calls, and Growth chat from $2,417 a month for 3,000 chats, both billed annually, as of November 2026. A team that wants both outbound and inbound is buying two annual plans.
It is built for one function. Alice and Julian are sales products. That is their strength. If you also want help with content, SEO, support or collections, those jobs need another tool and another login.
Approvals are not front and center. 11x's outbound page says Smart Replies will "escalate sensitive conversations to your team," and that "your rep makes the call" on dialer steps. We did not find a step on that page where a person approves each email before it goes out. Some owners want that control, especially in the first weeks.
None of that makes 11x a bad choice. It is the shape of a specialist sales product sold to revenue teams on annual terms. Our guide to AI agents for business covers the other shape.
Where Dock is the better fit
These are the reasons we think Dock suits a business that wants agents running its work, and where 11x is built differently.
You hire a team, across functions. On Dock, a business hires agents for sales, lead generation, marketing, support and operations. Each agent has a role, a reporting line and permissions, and a Chief of Staff agent coordinates the specialists. A lead research agent can find buyers and hand them to an outbound agent, while a marketing agent keeps the content calendar moving. 11x gives you Alice for outbound and Julian for inbound, priced as separate products for the sales team.
People approve what matters. Approvals are part of how Dock agents work. You decide which actions wait for a person. Shawn Dej, CEO of YourStory AI, runs an eight-agent sales org in Dock that works 400+ schools and 150+ community colleges, and every send waits for his OK, which he gives by text.
The work stays visible and the memory stays with the company. Dock agents work alongside people in shared workspaces, so the whole team can see what they did. What they learn goes into the Company Brain, a shared company memory that stays with the business when people move on or you change tools. At Mach9, which makes AI CAD software for DOTs and engineering firms, the sales team in Dock reads every recorded call and keeps 82 HubSpot deals current every hour.
Agents run on their own schedule. Cloud AI agents on Dock are always on, so they keep working when nobody is watching. They reach 2,000+ platforms built in, plus the apps you connect, and each agent runs on the model that suits their job, from Claude, GPT, Gemini and others. You can hire ready-made specialists from the Agent Marketplace or set up your own. At Silvr, agents save CEO Josh Lanzet 10+ hours a week and helped double outbound prospects.
The price is published. Dock is priced per person per month, as of November 2026: Starter $40 with 5 always-on agents and 10,000 business credits, Standard $100 with 10 agents and 20,000 credits, and Scale $200 with 20 agents and 50,000 credits, with Custom plans for larger companies (pricing). 11x publishes its Growth tier and quotes the rest on annual terms.
Where Dock is not the right pick
- You want a dedicated outbound engine with managed sending. 11x includes managed Gmail mailboxes, domain setup, warmup and inbox rotation on every Alice plan, and says you can draw on its database of 400M contacts. Artisan and AiSDR are built the same way. If outbound volume is the whole job, a specialist may suit you better.
- You need high-volume inbound phone qualification today. Julian lists concurrent calls, warm transfers and call routing out of the box. Bland lets you build that on your own terms. Both are deeper on voice than Dock.
- You need a completed security report today. Dock is a young company and SOC 2 is in progress; Type II is not yet attested. 11x's security page and Artisan's pricing page both say they hold SOC 2 Type II.
- Your sales team already lives in HubSpot or Salesforce. The agent built into your CRM may be enough, and it keeps everything in one admin console.
- You want to design every agent step by step. A builder like Relevance AI gives you more control over each step, and more to maintain.
How we picked
We read the pages that rank for "11x alternatives," "11x.ai alternatives" and "Alice AI SDR alternatives" in early November 2026, plus 11x's own guide to AI sales agents, and kept the tools a founder would realistically shortlist. We wanted coverage of each way to replace 11x: outbound specialists (Artisan, AiSDR, Amplemarket, Regie.ai), agents inside a CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce), a builder (Relevance AI), a general agent (Lindy) and a voice platform for Julian's job (Bland).
We left Outreach off. Its pricing page lists agents inside its Amplify plans with "Request pricing" on every tier, which suits teams already on Outreach more than a team shopping for its first agent.
Each tool was judged on five questions that matter to a small business:
- What does it cost, in plain dollars, and is it monthly or annual?
- Does a person approve outreach before it sends, or can you set that up?
- Can more than one person on the team see and manage the work?
- Does it cover only sales, or other jobs as well?
- Where does it run, and what do you need to already own?
We checked every price on the vendor's own pricing page or help center in the first week of November 2026, and left out anything we could not confirm there. We did not run paid trials. Several vendors on this list quote prices through sales, and we say so where that is the case. Prices change often, so check the linked page before you buy.

All prices as of November 2026.
1. Dock
Dock lets a business hire a team of AI agents for real work: sales, lead generation, marketing, support and operations. The agents work on their own schedule in the cloud, alongside people, in shared workspaces. Each one has a role, a reporting line and permissions, and a Chief of Staff agent coordinates the specialists. What they learn goes into the Company Brain, so it stays with the business.
Pricing: per person per month, as of November 2026. Starter is $40 with 5 always-on agents and 10,000 business credits. Standard is $100 with 10 agents and 20,000 credits. Scale is $200 with 20 agents and 50,000 credits. Custom plans cover larger companies. Details are on the pricing page.
What it does well: a team that spans functions, with approvals built in. A lead research agent can feed an outbound agent while an operations agent keeps the CRM tidy, and you choose which actions wait for a person. Every agent reaches 2,000+ platforms built in, plus the apps you connect, and runs on the model that suits their job.
Where it falls short: Dock is young. SOC 2 is in progress, and Type II is not yet attested, so if your buyers require a completed report today, check back later. 11x bundles a 400M-contact database and managed mailboxes into every Alice plan. If you want all of that inside one sales contract, 11x or Artisan is the simpler buy.
Best for: a business that wants agents holding standing jobs across sales, marketing and operations, with work the whole team can see and a person approving what matters. Our post on why to hire agents before headcount explains the approach.
2. Artisan
Artisan sells Ava, which it calls an AI BDR, and it is the most direct swap for Alice. Ava finds leads, writes outreach, handles replies and books meetings, sending "in your reps' names, from your own sending domains." Artisan bundles B2B data, enrichment, deliverability, a sequencer, a dialer and intent signals into one platform, with "250M+ verified B2B contacts" included.
Pricing: quote-based, as of November 2026. The pricing page lists a Team plan at about 2,500 leads contacted a month and a Scale plan at about 6,000, both "Pricing scoped on your plan," plus a custom Enterprise plan. The FAQ says plans are sized to "your lead volume, mailboxes, and dialer seats." The AI dialer is an add-on, per seat.
What it does well: control. Artisan's FAQ says you can "Approve before sending, lock tone and CTAs, set banned phrases, and coach Ava's writing," and describes Ava as "Autonomous by default, adjustable by design." Every plan includes CSM support in a shared Slack channel, and Artisan says it is SOC 2 Type II certified with SSO and audit logs.
Where it falls short: no published price, so you cannot compare costs without a sales call. Like 11x, it is built for outbound sales and nothing else.
Best for: teams that want the closest thing to Alice, with an approval step and a hands-on rollout.
3. AiSDR
AiSDR calls itself "AI sales software that focuses on lead quality over volume." It runs outreach "over email, phone, and LinkedIn," with sequences that can add LinkedIn steps, call tasks for your team, and personalized videos or voice notes. Its AI GTM agent, Ami, proposes audiences, hooks and sequences that you adjust in chat.
Pricing: per AiSDR's pricing page, as of November 2026, pay as you go costs $1.50 per person prospected, charged daily with no monthly fee, and you can sign up without a sales call. Team plans for teams "contacting 1,000+ people a month" are quoted on volume, with quarterly or annual contracts and 20% off for annual. Add-ons include warmed-up mailboxes at $33 and a fully managed service at $2,500 a month.
What it does well: the lowest-commitment way into an AI SDR on this list. Before launch, "Your team reviews the audience and sample messages," and you can take over conversations when needed. LinkedIn is a first-class channel.
Where it falls short: the pricing page gives two different campaign minimums in its FAQ, and team pricing is not published. Its strength is outbound; it does not cover jobs outside sales.
Best for: founders who want to try AI outbound on a small budget, paying only for the people they reach.
4. Amplemarket
Amplemarket describes itself as an "All-in-one sales platform for teams & AI agents," with the line "Agents build your pipeline. Your team closes it." Its Duo agents find reasons to engage, research prospects and prepare outreach, and the platform covers "Email, calls, and social steps in one workflow," with a parallel dialer and contact data.
Pricing: per Amplemarket's pricing page, as of November 2026, the Startup plan is $600 a month on an annual term, with 2 users and 27,000 contacts. Growth (4 users) and Elite (10 users) are custom. The page says all plans include a free trial.
What it does well: humans and agents share the work. The homepage says "Your reps review, refine, and start conversations," and for Duo Inbox, "Reps review before sending." The Startup plan is a published, mid-range entry point.
Where it falls short: it is still an annual term, and the bigger plans are quoted. It is a sales platform, so it does not reach into marketing or operations work.
Best for: small sales teams that want a published price, a free trial and reps reviewing every agent draft.
5. Regie.ai
Regie.ai now sells RegieGO, which "uses your website to find matching buyers, enrich contacts, and research reasons to connect." It builds lists from your ideal customer profile, finds emails and phone numbers through waterfall enrichment, drafts messages in your voice, and adds a parallel dialer that calls up to five lines at once. A built-in CRM syncs with HubSpot or Salesforce.
Pricing: per Regie's pricing page, as of November 2026, Free is $0 with 250 one-time credits per person for up to 10 people. Pro is $41 a month billed annually or $49 monthly, with 5,000 credits a month. Team is $125 per seat a month billed annually or $150 monthly, with 15,000 credits per seat, a shared credit pool and a two-seat minimum. Pro and Team are self-serve with no contract.
What it does well: the cheapest real entry point on this list, monthly billing, and a free plan. You send from your own Gmail or Outlook, and enrichment costs nothing when it finds nothing.
Where it falls short: RegieGO is built around a rep doing the prospecting, with research, drafts and a dialer on hand. It reads as a rep's tool more than a fully autonomous outbound worker like Alice.
Best for: founders and reps who want AI research and a dialer for a small monthly price.
6. HubSpot Prospecting Agent
HubSpot's Prospecting Agent researches accounts, finds the right contacts and drafts personalized outreach inside HubSpot. It watches buying signals, scores accounts against your ideal customer profile, and sources contacts from providers including ZoomInfo, Apollo, Surfe and Seamless.
Pricing: the product page lists it at "$1/per lead," charged when the agent recommends outreach for a lead, running on HubSpot Credits, as of November 2026. The FAQ says it is available on Starter, Professional and Enterprise. You also pay for HubSpot itself: the Sales Hub pricing page lists Professional from $90 to $100 per seat a month depending on billing term, plus a required one-time $1,500 onboarding fee, with 3,000 HubSpot Credits a month included.
What it does well: approvals by default. Each time you enroll contacts, you can review and edit the drafted emails before they send, and you can switch to a fully autonomous mode when you trust it. Everything stays in the CRM your team already uses.
Where it falls short: it only makes sense if you are on HubSpot, and the agent is one part of a larger seat-based bill. Its job is prospecting, so the rest of your operations needs other tools.
Best for: HubSpot teams that want a pay-per-lead prospecting agent with a review step.
7. Salesforce Agentforce
Salesforce's AI sales agent, which many people still search for as Agentforce SDR, welcomes prospects on your site, routes inbound leads to the agent, answers questions and objections from your CRM data and content, drafts outreach and books meetings. Salesforce's Trailhead module says the agent runs as a Salesforce user and needs Einstein Activity Capture, Salesforce Inbox and Data 360 turned on.
Pricing: per the Agentforce pricing page, as of November 2026, Flex Credits cost $500 per 100,000 credits, with each Agentforce action using 20 credits. Conversation-based pricing is $2 per conversation. The Agentforce add-on for Sales is $125 per user a month, and Max Edition starts at $550 per user a month. These sit on top of your Salesforce licenses.
What it does well: it lives where your pipeline data already is, and the AI sales agent page lets teams "Choose the right level of AI control," including reviewing and approving pipeline updates first.
Where it falls short: setup has real prerequisites, and pricing has several models to work through. It is a strong fit inside Salesforce and a poor fit outside it.
Best for: Salesforce orgs that want an inbound and nurture agent inside their CRM.
8. Relevance AI
Relevance AI calls itself "The home of the AI Workforce," with the headline "Specialist AI Agents for Every Task." Sales is its lead use case, and its AI BDR agent page describes an agent "Booking meetings 24/7" that researches prospects from LinkedIn, CRM data, Google Search, G2 and other sources, handles objections and schedules meetings.
Pricing: per Relevance AI's pricing page, as of November 2026, the only plan listed is Enterprise, with "Talk to sales." It includes unlimited agents, users and workforces, 2,000+ integrations, calling and meeting agents, and SSO, RBAC and audit logs. The page asks "Is the BDR agent included?" in its FAQ but does not show an answer.
What it does well: flexibility. You can build sales agents and agents for other functions on one platform, with evaluations and A/B testing.
Where it falls short: no self-serve plan or published price today, and you are the one designing the workforce. Our Relevance AI alternatives post goes deeper.
Best for: teams that want to build their own AI workforce, sales first, with an enterprise contract.
9. Lindy
Lindy calls itself "the AI employee that plugs into your tools, learns how you work, and takes real work off your plate." Its homepage lists "Lead gen & outreach" as a hire category, shows examples like updating a HubSpot deal stage and drafting a follow-up on a stalled deal, and lists phone calls as a new feature.
Pricing: per Lindy's pricing page, as of November 2026, the free plan comes with $50 in credits that last seven days. Team starts at $29.99 a month for 3,000 credits, and every active user in the workspace is billed, with credits pooled across the team. Enterprise adds SSO, SCIM, audit logs and HIPAA compliance with a signed BAA.
What it does well: the homepage FAQ says "actions that write or send can wait for your approval," and the team plan lets you pick a model per task. It covers admin work beyond sales.
Where it falls short: Lindy does not describe prospecting or outbound sequences on its homepage, so it is a weaker swap for Alice. Each active user adds to the bill. Our Lindy alternatives post compares it in more depth.
Best for: small teams that want an agent handling deal follow-ups and admin, with approval before anything sends.
10. Bland
Bland calls itself "an enterprise voice AI platform" for building, running and monitoring AI phone agents. Agents work inbound and outbound on "phone, SMS, and web," and Bland says it "runs entirely on its own models," with self-hosted and on-premises deployments for sensitive workloads.
Pricing: per Bland's pricing page, as of November 2026, Start has no platform fee and talk time at $0.14 a minute, capped at 100 calls a day and 10 concurrent calls. Build is $299 a month plus $0.12 a minute, with up to 2,000 calls a day and 50 concurrent. Enterprise is custom. Telephony is billed separately.
What it does well: transparent usage pricing and depth on voice. Bland says it holds SOC 2 Type I and Type II reports, and Enterprise adds BAA, SSO and data residency.
Where it falls short: you build the agent, the scripts and the routing yourself. Warm and live transfers, SMS in calls and appointment scheduling are Enterprise features. Bland's examples lean toward healthcare, insurance and financial services, and its homepage does not mention sales directly.
Best for: teams that want a phone agent for inbound qualification or reminders and have someone to build it.
11x vs Dock
11x sells digital workers for outbound and inbound sales. Dock lets a business hire a team of agents across sales, marketing and operations, with people approving what matters.
| 11x | Dock | |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | Revenue teams running outbound and inbound | A business hiring agents across sales, marketing, support and operations |
| Agents | Alice for outbound, Julian for inbound, sold separately | A team of agents with roles, reporting lines and permissions, coordinated by a Chief of Staff agent |
| Approvals | Sensitive conversations escalate to your team | You choose which actions wait for a person |
| Memory | Knowledge base and playbooks for sales | A Company Brain that stays with the business |
| Price | Alice Growth from $3,750/mo; Julian voice from $5,333/mo and chat from $2,417/mo; billed annually; higher tiers quoted | Starter $40, Standard $100, Scale $200 per person per month, with 5, 10 or 20 always-on agents |
| Data and tools | 400M contacts, managed mailboxes and deliverability included | 2,000+ platforms built in plus the apps you connect |
| Security | SOC 2 Type II, per 11x | SOC 2 in progress, Type II not yet attested |
11x is better if outbound volume is the whole job, you want managed mailboxes and a contact database in one contract, and you are ready to sign an annual plan. For a business that wants pipeline work done alongside its other work, by agents the whole team can see, with an owner approving what goes out, we think Dock is the better fit. The AI-native vs bolted-on agents post explains why we built it this way.

FAQ
What is the best 11x alternative?
It depends on the job. For a business that wants agents working across sales, marketing and operations, with people approving what matters, we think Dock is the better fit; we build Dock, so weigh that accordingly. For the closest swap for Alice, Artisan. For a low-commitment start, AiSDR or Regie.ai. For a phone agent like Julian, Bland.
How much does 11x cost?
As of November 2026, 11x's Alice Growth plan is listed from $3,750 a month billed annually, for up to 5 users and 2,000 new prospects a month, though the FAQ on the same page says $36,000 a year. Julian Growth starts at $5,333 a month for voice and $2,417 a month for chat, billed annually. Pro and Enterprise plans are custom quotes.
Is 11x free?
No. 11x does not list a free plan, and annual billing is the default. For a free or low-cost start, Regie.ai has a free plan, AiSDR charges $1.50 per person prospected with no monthly fee, and Bland's Start plan has no platform fee.
What is the difference between 11x and Dock?
11x sells digital workers for sales: Alice for outbound and Julian for inbound, priced separately on annual plans. Dock lets a business hire a team of agents across sales, marketing, support and operations, with roles, permissions, approvals and a shared Company Brain, priced per person per month.
What is the difference between 11x and Artisan?
Both sell an autonomous AI sales rep for outbound. 11x publishes its Alice Growth price and adds Julian for inbound voice and chat. Artisan quotes every plan, sizes it to lead volume, mailboxes and dialer seats, and lets you approve Ava's emails before they send.
What is the best 11x alternative for a small business?
For a small business that wants pipeline work and other jobs covered by one team of agents, we think Dock fits best, from $40 per person a month. If you only want outbound, AiSDR's pay-as-you-go plan or Regie.ai's Pro plan cost far less to start than an annual 11x contract.
Does 11x require an annual contract?
Yes, by default. 11x's help center says annual billing is the default, Pro and Enterprise can run two or three years, and stopping a renewal takes 30 days' written notice. It also says there are no setup or implementation fees at any tier.
In short: for outbound volume alone, 11x, Artisan or AiSDR; for an agent inside your CRM, HubSpot or Salesforce; for a phone agent you build, Bland; for a business that wants a team of agents across sales, marketing and operations, with people approving what matters, we think Dock is the better fit.
