What an AI SDR Costs in 2026

The published prices, vendor by vendor

Read 19 September 2026, 03:0x SGT, one fetch per page with a desktop browser user-agent. Vendors that publish no price are listed as such rather than estimated.

Why a monthly price is not the cost of a meeting

• Credit and action models move the bill. Lindy, Clay and Regie.ai charge per credit or per action, so the entry tier carries the smallest volume. The number on the pricing page is the floor of the range, not the price of a working outbound motion.
• Seat pricing multiplies. A $29.99 per-user price is per seat per month, so it is only comparable with a flat monthly fee once you know how many people need it.
• Outcome guarantees are rare. None of the other ten vendor pages we read on 19 September 2026 attached a booked-meeting guarantee to the fee — Apollo.io's page mentions refunds only for downgrades on its own plans. LinkFly was the one page of the eleven whose monthly fee is tied to an outcome: 20 qualified calls or Month 2 free.

Two questions to ask every vendor

1. "What is the cost per qualified meeting at my volume?" — not per seat, not per 1,000 emails. The vendors that publish no price cannot answer this without a call, by design.
2. "What happens in a month where no meetings are booked?" — if the answer is "you still pay the seat fee", you are buying software effort, not a sales result.
