Warmly
Identifies anonymous website visitors and runs AI inbound and outbound GTM agents on one shared context graph.
From FreeWhy it's on this listThe closest functional comparator: Warmly does the same job as Qualified -- real-time AI engagement of identified website visitors -- through a purpose-built Inbound Agent, and pairs it with a TAM Agent that works accounts that aren't on the site yet, both drawing on one combined signal layer. It is CRM-agnostic, unlike Qualified's hard Salesforce requirement, and backs the pitch with real named customers (New Relic, Cyberhaven, CircleCI) and $21.9M raised since 2020. The tradeoff: it does not fix the pricing-transparency complaint -- there is no self-serve monthly plan or free tier at all, every paid tier is a quarterly ($4,875+) or annual ($10,000+) contract -- and independently reported person-level visitor identification (15-25%) runs below what specialist identification tools claim.
Where it improves on Qualified
- +Done-for-you service · PartialSoftware you run, with an optional dedicated Warmly engineer and outsourced SDR placements sold as separate service lines.Evidence ↗
- +Multi-agent · YesInbound Agent and TAM Agent coordinate through one Context Graph; the top plan adds unlimited AI Studio agents plus an Autopilot agent.Evidence ↗
- +How it meters · YesMetered in identification credits on top of a plan fee: one credit per company and one per contact, capped at two per unique visitor per month.Evidence ↗
Trade-offs against Qualified
- −Agent permissions · PartialAgents act on their own; humans get visibility and an override on each decision rather than an approval gate.Evidence ↗
- −Claude · NoThe AI FAQ names OpenAI as the provider of all Warmly AI.Evidence ↗
- −Data residency · PartialThe enterprise FAQ claims configurable US, EU and APAC regions, while the architecture section lists only AWS US with GCP EU available.Evidence ↗

Spiich
Agentic sales platform that keeps HubSpot, Attio, Pipedrive or Salesforce updated from chat, voice and meetings.
From €149/monthWhy it's on this listHow it meters · YesTwo meters at once: a per-user seat price plus a workspace credit balance drawn down per enrichment, briefing, agent run and generated table cell.Evidence ↗
Where it improves on Qualified
- +Free tier · PartialA free trial starts at signup and needs a work email and a connected CRM, but no standing free plan exists and pages redirect to billing once it lapses.Evidence ↗
- +Bring your own key · PartialYou may bring your own enrichment provider key (Lusha, Wiza, Apollo, FullEnrich or Lemlist), but not your own model keys, inference endpoint or cloud.Evidence ↗
Trade-offs against Qualified
- −Agent permissions · PartialWide latitude with named stop conditions: it will not overwrite a populated CRM field it was not told about, act across a batch, or destroy a file without asking first.Evidence ↗
- −Single sign-on · NoEmail and password plus OAuth for connected tools is all that exists today; SAML and OIDC are described as in progress, and two-factor is the only extra control.Evidence ↗

Artisan
Autonomous AI BDR that sources B2B leads, sends personalized outbound, handles replies and books meetings.
From FreeWhy it's on this listDone-for-you service · PartialYou run the software on self-serve plans, but Enterprise adds a named human team who scope, configure and launch it for you, including a forward-deployed engineer for CRM and custom work.Evidence ↗
Where it improves on Qualified
- +How it meters · YesPriced by monthly credit allocation rather than per seat, with published per-action rates and a rough 20-credits-per-prospect campaign figure; mailboxes, phone numbers and dialer seats are billed separately in dollars.Evidence ↗
- +Free tier · YesA standing $0 plan with 300 credits a month and no credit card, but it is a lookup and enrichment tier: campaigns, deliverability tooling and integrations all need a paid plan.Evidence ↗
Trade-offs against Qualified
- −Claude · PartialArtisan ships an official Claude connector on all plans, so Claude can drive your Artisan account from a chat. That is Claude acting as a client, not disclosure that Claude powers Ava. The vendor names no model behind Ava, and the connector is flagged as early.Evidence ↗
- −Opt out of training · PartialIdentifiable data needs your prior express consent before it trains anything and Google mailbox data is carved out entirely, but de-identified and aggregated usage data is used for model training with no published opt-out control.Evidence ↗
- −Data residency · PartialJurisdiction is disclosed and it is the United States for everyone; EEA, UK and Swiss transfers ride on Standard Contractual Clauses, and no EU or other regional hosting option is published on any tier.Evidence ↗
34/35 researched criteria · 1 not established - 04
SEOmatic
Autonomous SEO agents that read Search Console data and publish approved fixes into your CMS.
From FreeWhy it's on this listDone-for-you service · PartialPrimarily self-serve software, but the vendor also sells a managed engagement where its own team configures and steers the agents for you at a published monthly fee.Evidence ↗
Where it improves on Qualified
- +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.Evidence ↗
- +Model choice · PartialThe vendor picks the default stack; your choice is limited to flagging a workspace EU-sensitive or supplying your own Anthropic/OpenAI key, not free model selection.Evidence ↗
Trade-offs against Qualified
- −Runs autonomously · PartialUnattended 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.Evidence ↗
- −GPT · PartialOpenAI is used for images, embeddings and some text tasks rather than as the main writer, though a workspace may elect to run its text generation on OpenAI with its own key.Evidence ↗
- −Data residency · PartialInfrastructure is US-only with SCC-based transfers for EU users, and the only residency control is an EU-sensitive flag that changes AI routing rather than where data is stored.Evidence ↗

Argorant
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.Evidence ↗
Where it improves on Qualified
- +Open models · PartialAny 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.Evidence ↗
- +Model choice · YesThe buyer picks the model by picking the client: Argorant is the tool layer behind one MCP endpoint and takes whatever agent you already pay for.Evidence ↗
Trade-offs against Qualified
- −Runs autonomously · PartialAn 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.Evidence ↗
- −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.Evidence ↗
- −Opt out of training · PartialUploaded lists and CRM records are contractually kept out of the sellable database unless you opt into the Chrome-extension contribution programme, but no clause anywhere states whether customer data trains Argorant's own models.Evidence ↗

11x
AI digital workers Alice and Julian for outbound prospecting, inbound qualification and phone calls.
Why it's on this listHow it meters · YesCommercially it is prepaid credits bought on an order form and tied to user accounts, and the vendor separately describes its model as pricing per lead rather than per email sent.Evidence ↗
Where it improves on Qualified
- +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.Evidence ↗
- +Certifications · YesThe vendor publishes SOC 2 Type II and CASA Tier 3 certifications with a trust portal, plus GDPR alignment with DPAs for EU customers and CCPA compliance.Evidence ↗
Trade-offs against Qualified
- −Agent permissions · PartialWhat 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.Evidence ↗
- −Data residency · PartialData is transferred to and processed in the United States with a DPA offered to EU controllers, but no choice of region or EU-resident hosting option is published.Evidence ↗
