The State of AI SDR 2026: The Complete Buyer's Map

Every "best AI SDR tools" list is written by a vendor ranking itself first, covers the same eight famous names, and hides real pricing behind "contact sales." This map is different. We verified 55 vendors from their own sites this quarter: real starting prices, GA versus waitlist status, funding as a trust signal, and the gotchas they leave off the pricing page. If you are choosing which AI SDR tool to actually buy, this is the shortlist tool built for that decision. Delivered as a PDF, an EPUB, and a filterable CSV.

THE STATE OF AI SDR 2026 - FREE SAMPLE

The three questions that eliminate 40 of these 55 vendors:
  1. What is it actually permitted to send today, without a waitlist?
  2. Whose domains and deliverability does it use?
  3. What does it cost at your real sending volume, all in?

A few verdicts (the full map covers all 55):
  - 11x: strong if you have budget and a real ops owner, overkill for a two-person team testing outbound.
  - Qualified: no longer independent, acquired by Salesforce in April 2026.
  - Drift: being sunset, its own site now redirects to Salesloft.
  - Persana: avoid for now, merging into Rox and sunsetting the platform.

The full report: 55 vendors across 7 families, real pricing, GA vs waitlist,
the watch-outs, plus a filterable CSV. Verified July 2026.
