Artisan sells Ava, an AI BDR that books meetings for reps. Ava identifies prospects from 250M+ verified B2B contacts, runs email and social campaigns with calls queued, replies on its own and books meetings. Campaign types cover cold outbound, intent signals, re-engaging existing and churned CRM contacts, and cross-sell. Plans are sized by volume: Team is scoped for roughly 2,500 leads contacted a month, Scale for roughly 6,000 with a dedicated CSM and CRM setup, and Enterprise adds a forward-deployed strategist and advanced security controls. Every plan includes Salesforce and HubSpot sync and CSM onboarding, and an AI dialer is a per-seat add-on. Artisan positions this as a white-glove rollout with sending infrastructure sized to your motion. The trade-off is transparency: the pricing page says pricing is scoped on your plan, so you cannot compare costs without a sales call.
