Frequently asked
Is Autocloz an Artisan alternative?
Yes for the autonomous-outreach half. Autocloz Autopilot finds matching leads and enrols them into an email sequence on its own, free, on your mailboxes. You bring your own data and AI key instead of a bundled database, live AI voice is a config-gated opt-in, and every lead lands in a free CRM with all five channels.
Do I have to use Autocloz's data like Artisan's bundled database?
No — there is no bundled database to rent. You source leads from your own list, API, or a per-org Apify actor, which keeps your spend off per-record data fees and lets you use whatever source you trust.
Is the AI SDR really free?
The autonomous email leg is part of the free-forever plan with unlimited users, and the AI runs on your own key with no per-lead surcharge. Higher volume and the AI voice leg are on paid plans, but you can prove it books meetings before you pay.
