SEOmaticVerified
Autonomous SEO agents that read Search Console data and publish approved fixes into your CMS.
From FreeWhy it's on this listShips it · PartlyIt does publish live: agents write straight into the connected CMS, and for sites built in code the fix arrives as a GitHub pull request that you merge yourself, so on that surface it stops at the diff.Source ↗
Where it improves on Artisan
- +Multi-agent · YesSeveral named role agents (Strategist, Content Writer, Technical SEO, On-Page Optimizer, Link Builder) run one approved campaign in sequence, managed from a single board.Source ↗
- +Claude · YesAnthropic Claude is used for specific jobs by default and becomes the sole writing model for workspaces flagged EU-sensitive, running on your own Anthropic key.Source ↗
Trade-offs against Artisan
- −Runs autonomously · PartlyUnattended operation is real but deliberately bounded: agents arrive switched off, and even in the highest mode new content, redirects, canonicals, noindex and pruning always wait for a person.Source ↗
- −Certifications · PartlyGDPR compliance is substantiated with a published Article 28 DPA and EU rights process, but the vendor states plainly that it holds neither SOC 2 nor ISO 27001.Source ↗
- 02
Warmly
Identifies anonymous website visitors and runs AI inbound and outbound GTM agents on one shared context graph.
From FreeWhy it's on this listMulti-agent · YesInbound Agent and TAM Agent coordinate through one Context Graph; the top plan adds unlimited AI Studio agents plus an Autopilot agent.Source ↗
Where it improves on Artisan
Trade-offs against Artisan
- −Agent permissions · PartlyAgents act on their own; humans get visibility and an override on each decision rather than an approval gate.Source ↗
- −Claude · NoThe AI FAQ names OpenAI as the provider of all Warmly AI.Source ↗
- −Certifications · PartlySOC 2 Type II certified and GDPR-ready; ISO 27001 is listed as in progress on the enterprise security table.Source ↗
- 03
ArgorantVerified
Verified B2B contact data, email verification and outbound campaigns, drivable by your own AI agent over MCP.
From $99/monthWhy it's on this listDone-for-you service · YesArgorant Managed is a done-for-you engagement where their team buys domains, warms inboxes, writes and runs campaigns and works replies; it is quoted on a call rather than priced publicly.Source ↗
Where it improves on Artisan
- +Claude · YesClaude is a first-class client with its own setup guide and a native remote MCP connector covering Desktop, Cowork and Code.Source ↗
- +Open models · PartlyAny MCP-speaking runtime can connect, which admits an open-weight model you host yourself, but Argorant documents no open model specifically and runs no inference of its own.Source ↗
Trade-offs against Artisan
- −Runs autonomously · PartlyAn agent can run the whole loop unattended for free actions, but every credit-spending step and every campaign launch is gated on explicit approval, and destructive tools are annotated so clients ask first.Source ↗
- −Free tier · PartlyYou can start without a card, but it is a 14-day trial rather than a standing free plan: campaigns pause and unused trial credits expire at day 14.Source ↗
- −Single sign-on · NoSign-in is email and password or Google only; no SAML, OIDC enterprise connection or SCIM provisioning appears on the pricing page, in the docs or in the help centre's account and security section.Source ↗

Rox
Revenue agents that research accounts, prospect, run outbound and manage deals, metered in Agent Actions.
From FreeWhy it's on this listFor the reader who wants the agent living inside the existing CRM across the whole deal lifecycle -- research, monitoring, deal updates synced to Salesforce, HubSpot, Gmail, Outlook and Slack -- rather than a standalone prospect-to-meeting funnel. Rox's own pricing page confirms plans from $100/month, with Teams adding more actions, CRM sync and multi-user workspaces, billed on agent actions rather than a flat seat -- with a free trial, not a free tier, correcting this site's own prior tagline. The tradeoff: it is the most expensive entry point of the four, and the action-based meter needs watching on high-volume outbound.
Where it improves on Artisan
- +Multi-agent · YesAn orchestrator builds pipelines of specialised worker agents (research, email composition, verification) per query; Rox brands the layer Agent Swarm.Source ↗
- +Open models · PartlyRox offers to integrate a customer's own trained models on request; it names no open-weight model and exposes no way to run one from the product.Source ↗
- +Model choice · PartlyRox meters by model class and lists six AI/inference providers as subprocessors, so it is multi-model internally, but the buyer never chooses the model; own-model integration is a bespoke conversation.Source ↗
Trade-offs against Artisan
- −Done-for-you service · NoSoftware you run: sign up, connect Salesforce, invite the team. Enterprise adds a Rox deployment/support team and a ProServ integration-and-training line item, not an outsourced revenue team.Source ↗
- −Runs autonomously · PartlyAgents fire on schedules, deal events, transcript completion and webhooks, and auto-prospecting can enrol good-fit contacts without a manual pass; Rox's own engineering docs still say critical actions are queued for human review.Source ↗
- −MCP server · Partly'MCP Support' is ticked only in the Enterprise column of the plan comparison (dashes for Individual and Teams); no MCP server URL, tool list or setup guide is published in the docs.Source ↗

Qualified
AI SDR agent that works inbound website visitors and leads to book sales meetings.
Why it's on this listClaude · YesAnthropic models are used via Amazon Bedrock as a named generative-AI subprocessor.Source ↗
Where it improves on Artisan
- +Opt out of training · YesNo opt-out is needed because the default is already exclusion: the privacy policy states customer information is not used to develop or train generalised AI or ML models and is not stored by its AI providers.Source ↗
- +Data residency · YesThe jurisdiction is stated plainly and is singular: all customer data sits in AWS US-East in Northern Virginia, and the vendor says it offers no EU storage option, so EU-only residency is not available.Source ↗
Trade-offs against Artisan
- −Done-for-you service · NoYou buy and configure software rather than hiring people: the vendor's Agent Studio is where the customer onboards, trains and guides the agent themselves, with Qualified supplying the platform.Source ↗
- −How it meters · PartlyCustom quote with no published metering unit; the only visible cost dimensions are tier gates on websites, contact-database volume and production instances.Source ↗
- −Free tier · NoThere is no self-serve entry: all three published tiers and every call to action on the pricing page lead to a scheduled demo and a custom-built plan, with no free or trial tier offered.Source ↗

11x
AI digital workers Alice and Julian for outbound prospecting, inbound qualification and phone calls.
Why it's on this listFor the reader who wants voice handled end-to-end by the agent, not handed off. 11x pairs Alice -- autonomous multichannel outbound across email, phone, social and SMS with non-templated, researched personalization -- with Julian, an autonomous INBOUND phone agent that runs live sales conversations, adapts to objections and qualifies leads. Artisan, by contrast, only queues calls into a dialer for a human rep to make. The tradeoff: 11x's own site discloses no public pricing or free tier either, so budgeting requires a sales call either way.
Where it improves on Artisan
- +API access · YesA documented public API spans both workers, with webhooks and bi-directional data flow so another system can trigger outbound, inbound and meeting booking.Source ↗
- +Opt out of training · YesNo opt-out is needed: the contract bars 11x outright from training any AI or ML model on customer data, and the privacy policy repeats this for Google Workspace data.Source ↗
Trade-offs against Artisan
- −Done-for-you service · NoYou buy and run the platform yourself with your own CRM and mailboxes connected; 11x staffs a customer success team per account but does not present itself as an agency building bespoke systems for you.Source ↗
- −Agent permissions · PartlyWhat the worker may read and write in your CRM is configurable, but the vendor publishes no account-level approval step or human-in-the-loop gate before an email or call goes out.Source ↗
- −Free tier · NoEvery call to action is a booked demo or a sales conversation; there is no self-serve sign-up, no trial and no standing free plan published, and /pricing returns 404.Source ↗
