AI SDR Pricing Guide 2026: What Fin, Qualified, Warmly and Meeton Actually Cost

Ask "what does an AI SDR cost?" and you'll find that most vendors would rather not answer on their website. Pricing in this category splits into three models — metered usage, undisclosed enterprise quotes, and published flat plans — and the differences compound fast once your traffic grows. Here is what the major options actually cost as of July 2026, with sources, and a framework for comparing them.

The three pricing models in the AI SDR market

Metered (pay-per-outcome). You pay per resolution, qualification, or conversation. Predictable at low volume, hard to forecast at high volume — the bill scales with activity, not results you keep.

Undisclosed (talk to sales). Common at the enterprise end. The quote depends on your traffic, seats, and negotiating position; budgeting requires a sales cycle just to get a number.

Published flat plans. A fixed monthly price with defined limits. Easier to budget and compare; the trade-off is that limits (traffic, seats) define your tier.

What each vendor costs in 2026

Fin (by Intercom) — metered

Fin — the customer-service AI agent formerly known as Intercom, which Salesforce agreed to acquire for ~$3.6B in June 2026 — charges $0.99 per outcome (resolutions, handoffs, disqualifications) plus $9.99 per sales qualification for Fin for Sales. Running Fin on Intercom also requires seat plans at $39–139 per seat per month (monthly billing; $29–132 annual). Standalone deployment on an existing helpdesk starts from a 50-outcome monthly minimum (~$49/mo) and is sold through sales rather than self-serve. Billing is USD-only with a 14-day free trial. Note that Fin for Sales is inbound-only: per Fin's own documentation it does no outbound prospecting and no standalone email nurture, and books meetings through Calendly or Chili Piper.

Qualified (Piper) — undisclosed

Qualified, the Salesforce-native AI SDR acquired by Salesforce in April 2026 (consideration valued at $1.2B), publishes plan names — Premier, Enterprise, Ultimate — but no prices. Public buyer commentary consistently places it at the enterprise end of the market, and the product assumes Salesforce as your system of record. If you need a number for budgeting, expect a sales process first. Details: [Qualified vs Meeton comparison](https://dynameet.ai/en/compare/qualified/).

Warmly — tiered, AI chat gated to upper tiers

Warmly leads with visitor de-anonymization and warm outbound signals. Its AI chat capability becomes available from roughly the $20,000/year tier; lower tiers focus on identifying visitors and alerting reps rather than autonomous engagement. Comparison: [Warmly vs Meeton](https://dynameet.ai/en/compare/warmly/).

Drift — no longer a realistic option

Drift never published pricing, and in March 2026 Salesloft announced its gradual sunset, directing customers to 1mind. New evaluations should treat it as a migration source, not a candidate. Context: [Drift alternative comparison](https://dynameet.ai/en/alternatives/drift/).

Meeton ai — published flat plans

[Meeton ai](https://dynameet.ai/en/pricing/) publishes its pricing: Capture Leads from $999/month (AI chat + on-site ads + content library, CRM integration included) and Book More Meetings from $1,349/month (adds AI meeting booking — the most popular plan). Annual billing saves 15%. Every setup starts with a 1-month free trial, no credit card required, and you can [create an account](https://dynameet.ai/en/trial/) and start the same day. Traffic-based add-ons are also published (up to 30k sessions/month included; +$399/mo to 100k; +$799/mo to 300k).

Metered vs flat: how to actually compare

A metered model looks cheap until you model a good month. At Fin's published rates, 500 outcomes plus 100 sales qualifications in a month is ~$1,494 before seat costs — and the number moves with every traffic spike, campaign launch, or seasonal surge. A flat plan is the same number in your best month and your worst.

Three questions cut through most comparisons:

1. What happens to my bill if conversations double? Metered: it doubles. Flat: nothing, until you cross a traffic tier. 2. What am I paying for — activity or pipeline? Per-outcome pricing charges for resolutions and handoffs whether or not they become meetings. If your goal is booked meetings, price the tool per meeting booked. 3. Can I get a number without a sales call? If budgeting requires a quote, add weeks to your evaluation and assume the price is negotiable — which also means it's variable.

What's the right budget for an AI SDR in 2026?

For mid-market B2B teams, realistic total spend lands between $1,000 and $3,000/month for a platform that covers capture through booking — roughly the loaded cost of 5–15 hours of a human SDR's time, for 24/7 coverage. Enterprise deployments (Salesforce-native, custom integrations) run well above that, typically on quoted contracts.

The cleanest way to test the economics on your own traffic: run a [free trial](https://dynameet.ai/en/trial/) and divide the monthly price by the meetings booked in month one, or estimate it first with the [ROI calculator](https://dynameet.ai/en/tools/roi/).

Frequently asked questions

How much does Fin AI cost per month?

Fin charges $0.99 per outcome plus $9.99 per sales qualification, on top of Intercom seat plans ($39–139/seat/month) when run on Intercom. A support team resolving 1,000 conversations monthly would pay ~$990 in outcome fees alone before seats. Standalone (non-Intercom) deployment starts around $49/month at a 50-outcome minimum.

Why doesn't Qualified publish pricing?

Qualified sells to Salesforce-centric enterprises where deals are scoped per account. The practical implication for buyers: no self-serve evaluation, and budget certainty only after a sales cycle.

Is a flat-priced AI SDR always cheaper?

No — at very low traffic, metered pricing can cost less. The crossover comes when conversation volume grows: metered bills scale linearly with activity, flat plans don't. Model your peak month, not your average month.

Do any AI SDR platforms offer a free trial without a credit card?

Meeton ai offers a 1-month free trial with no credit card and no auto-billing. Fin offers a 14-day trial. Qualified and most enterprise options require a sales process before any hands-on evaluation.
