Key Differences
Understanding what makes each platform unique helps you choose the right tool for your team.
Augmentation vs replacement
This is the fundamental philosophical difference. Autobound makes your existing SDRs dramatically better. 11x tries to replace them entirely.
Autobound's approach
Intelligence layer that handles signal detection, research, and draft generation — so your reps spend time on conversations that close deals, not on data entry and email writing.
11x's approach
Fully autonomous AI SDR (Alice) that handles the entire workflow end-to-end. No human involvement needed for prospecting through meeting booking.
The conversion quality gap
AI SDRs convert meetings to qualified opportunities at just 15% versus 25% for human SDRs — a 40% performance gap (SuperAGI). The hybrid model produces 2.8x more pipeline than full replacement.
Autobound's approach
Hybrid model: AI handles research and drafting, humans handle judgment and relationships. Meeting-to-opportunity conversion stays at 25%.
11x's approach
Full automation drives higher meeting volume but lower quality. The 50-70% annual churn rate for AI SDR tools (UserGems) reflects this quality gap.
Signal depth vs contact volume
11x has a larger contact database. Autobound has deeper signal intelligence. Which matters more depends on your sales motion.
Autobound's approach
350+ buyer signals across 25+ categories including SEC filings, earnings calls, and social sentiment. Every outreach message is grounded in a specific, verifiable signal.
11x's approach
400M+ contact database with basic intent signals. Strong for high-volume outreach, but personalization lacks the signal depth that drives higher response rates.
When to Choose Each
Choose 11x if...
Honest assessment of when 11x is the better fit.
High-volume, low-ACV sales motion
11x excels when deal sizes are small enough that a 15% meeting-to-opportunity rate is still profitable. Volume matters more than per-meeting quality.
You can't hire SDRs fast enough
If you need to scale outreach immediately and can't wait to hire, 11x provides instant capacity.
You want zero human involvement in top-of-funnel
11x handles everything autonomously. If you truly want hands-off prospecting, that's their model.
Choose Autobound if...
Where Autobound delivers the most value.
Enterprise or mid-market ACV above $25K
Higher deal values justify human attention at every touchpoint. Autobound's signal intelligence makes your reps more effective without sacrificing conversion quality.
Brand safety is critical
Autonomous AI at scale creates brand risk. Autobound's copilot model lets humans review AI-generated messages before they send.
You want control over messaging
Autobound lets you define tone, messaging guidelines, and guardrails. 11x is more of a black box.
You already have an SDR team
Autobound makes your existing team 3-5x more productive. No need to choose between humans and AI — use both.
Pricing Comparison
Autobound
Free tier available. Paid plans scale with team size. Transparent pricing on website.
11x
Approximately $5,000-$10,000/month with annual commitment. Not published — requires a demo.
11x costs roughly $60K-$120K/year — comparable to a junior SDR's fully loaded cost. Autobound costs a fraction of that and augments your entire team rather than replacing one headcount.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is 11x better than Autobound for outbound?
Different tools for different approaches. 11x is better if you want fully autonomous AI SDR with zero human involvement. Autobound is better if you want signal intelligence that makes your existing SDR team dramatically more effective. The hybrid approach (Autobound + human SDRs) produces 2.8x more pipeline than full AI replacement.
Can I use Autobound instead of 11x?
Yes, but they solve different problems. 11x replaces human SDRs with an autonomous agent. Autobound augments human SDRs with signal intelligence and AI-generated personalization. Many teams find the augmentation model delivers better pipeline quality and ROI.
Why do AI SDR tools have 50-70% churn rates?
According to UserGems, the primary drivers are: poor meeting-to-opportunity conversion (15% vs 25% for humans), brand safety incidents from unsupervised outreach, and the "garbage in, garbage out" problem when AI works from static data instead of real-time signals.
Which is cheaper?
Autobound is significantly less expensive. 11x costs approximately $5,000-$10,000/month. Autobound offers a free tier and paid plans at a fraction of that cost, while augmenting your entire team — not just one virtual SDR.
