AiSDR Pricing: Build the Full-Cost Worksheet

Summarize with AI

AiSDR pricing starts with the subscription, but the approval number is the full cost of operating and leaving the system. Record the live plan with its contact and infrastructure limits. Use the same worksheet for optional service and internal review. Add CRM work, contract exposure, and exit effort there too. Do not turn a monthly sticker price into an annual budget without written terms.

Capture the Live Offer Without Filling Gaps

The official AiSDR pricing page currently displays three plans. On that plan comparison, Solo is $250 per month and includes 200 AI-researched contacts; one user; one domain; three mailboxes; and one LinkedIn account. Explore is listed at $900 per month with 800 AI-researched contacts; unlimited users; two domains; six mailboxes; and five LinkedIn accounts. Scale is listed at $2,500 per month with 2,500 AI-researched contacts; unlimited users; six domains; 18 mailboxes; and 20 LinkedIn accounts.

The billing note on the same page says all plans are billed monthly, Solo runs month to month, and Explore and Scale have quarterly contracts with payment in advance. It also displays a 20% annual toggle and service options: $149 per campaign on Explore and $2,500 per month on Scale.

Those are vendor-published terms, not a complete quote. The page does not give enough written detail to assume how the annual option interacts with the quarterly commitment, what happens above included usage, or which export and offboarding work is included. Treat every unclear item as a question for the order form.

Our view: if a cost changes the approval total, "sales told us" is not sufficient evidence. Put the price and unit in writing. The same record should define billing timing and renewal, along with the cancellation deadline, before finance signs off.

Build One Total-Cost Worksheet

Use one row for each cost owner. Record monthly cash, one-time cash, internal hours, contract exposure, and the evidence source separately.

This worksheet is LeadHaste practice. AiSDR does not prescribe your finance model, labor rate, or approval horizon.

Normalize the Usage Unit

"A contact" can mean a researched record, an enrolled prospect, or a person who receives a message. The pricing page labels plan allowances as AI-researched contacts. Its FAQ headings separately refer to unused messages, rollover, additional messages, and monthly contact limits. That mix makes a written unit definition essential.

Ask AiSDR to state what consumes allowance across email and LinkedIn, whether retries or duplicate records count, how suppressed or invalid contacts are treated, and whether unused volume rolls forward. Request the rule for mid-term scaling and any overage price. If the answer depends on the plan or channel, add separate rows.

Then model your expected load. Use your own eligible audience after exclusions, not the size of a purchased list. The denominator should be the unit the contract bills. Do not compare vendors on "contacts" until each one defines the same event.

Separate Included Infrastructure From Ownership

AiSDR's plan specifications list domain and mailbox quantities and say turnkey email setup and warmup are included. The page also describes ordering mailboxes during setup. Those statements support a capability question, not an ownership assumption.

Obtain written answers for registration owner, billing owner, administrator access, DNS control, mailbox provider, replacement charges, suspension handling, and transfer at exit. Record any separate provider bills even when AiSDR coordinates setup. Add internal time for security review and sender setup if your team still performs it.

Do the same for LinkedIn accounts. The pricing page provides included account counts, but the commercial record should say whose accounts are used, what daily controls apply, and what happens when an account becomes unavailable. This is cost and continuity analysis, not a prediction about platform enforcement.

Price Data and Human Work Honestly

The subscription comparison includes AI-researched contacts and says all plans include prospecting and lead generation. Confirm which fields are supplied, the source and refresh expectations, replacement treatment, and whether your existing list can be used on the selected plan. The Explore plan explicitly says it works with existing lists. Do not assume the same entitlement for every tier without written confirmation.

Human work remains a cost even when software performs the first pass. Estimate time for ICP definition, campaign approval, message review, reply escalation, suppression review, CRM exceptions, and weekly operating review. Use the loaded hourly cost your finance team accepts.

Optional service may replace some of that work, but only if the scope matches. For the $149 per-campaign Explore option and $2,500 monthly Scale service shown on the price page, request the deliverables, revision limit, response time, approval boundary, and named owner. Subtract internal labor only after the statement of work transfers that task.

Keep CRM Cost Visible Without Reviewing the Integration

The AiSDR plan comparison lists native two-way HubSpot sync in Solo and says Explore adds AI research and monitoring of HubSpot data. Its official HubSpot page says connecting HubSpot carries no extra AiSDR fee for active subscribers and that no particular HubSpot tier is required for the connector.

"No extra integration fee" does not mean zero implementation cost. Add sales-operations time for field inventory, mapping, duplicate cleanup, acceptance testing, error review, and reporting. Add any HubSpot subscription change only when the required feature and price are confirmed in writing.

Keep this row financial. The separate implementation decision should test identity matching, write authority, activity logging, suppression, routing, errors, and rollback before production.

Price the Contract and Exit

Model committed cash, not only monthly expense. For Explore and Scale, the live pricing page states quarterly contracts and monthly billing paid in advance. Ask the order form to define effective date, initial term, renewal, notice deadline, downgrade timing, pause treatment, tax, refund treatment, and what "cancel anytime" means during a committed period.

For an annual discount, obtain the discounted plan price, billing schedule, full term, renewal basis, and early termination treatment. A toggle is not a signed commercial term.

Exit cost includes exporting contacts, source data, messages, replies, campaign settings, suppression records, CRM correction history, and performance data. It also includes transferring or closing domains, mailboxes, and connected accounts. Ask for export formats, delivery time, retention after termination, and assistance fees. If AiSDR cannot confirm an item, leave the row marked "quote required" rather than entering zero.

Approve the Evidence, Not the Sticker Price

Calculate first-period cash, normalized monthly operating cost, internal labor, maximum committed cash, and exit cost. Preserve the date and URL for public pricing, then attach the signed quote because web terms can change.

Approve when the commercial evidence defines every material unit and the modeled cost fits your expected use. Hold when overage, ownership, contract, or export terms remain oral. Reject when the economics only work by assigning unknown costs a zero value.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hiring an in-house SDR costs $5,500+/month in salary alone, before tools ($3K–5K/month), training, and management. Agencies typically charge $3,000–8,000/month. A managed outbound system like LeadHaste starts at $2,500/month, with infrastructure the client owns and month-to-month engagement after the first three months.

With a properly built system, most clients see their first qualified replies within 2–3 days of campaign launch (after the 2–3 week warm-up period). The real power shows in month 2–3 as domain reputation strengthens, sequences optimize from real data, and targeting sharpens.

In-house works if you have a dedicated ops person, 6+ months of runway for ramping, and budget for 20+ tool subscriptions. Outsourcing makes sense when you want speed-to-pipeline, can't justify a full-time hire, or need multi-channel orchestration (email + LinkedIn + intent data) that requires specialized tooling.

Inbound attracts leads through content, SEO, and ads. Prospects come to you. Outbound proactively reaches prospects through targeted email, LinkedIn, and calls. Inbound scales slowly but compounds over time. Outbound delivers faster results but requires ongoing execution. The best B2B companies run both.

A compound outbound system is an orchestrated set of 20–30 tools (enrichment, sending, warm-up, analytics) that improves automatically over time. Month 2 outperforms month 1 because domain reputation strengthens, AI sequences learn from engagement data, and targeting tightens from real conversion patterns. It's the opposite of starting fresh every month.
