Why Choose Skyp as Your Artisan Alternative?

Artisan packages an "AI BDR" agent plus outbound software, positioning itself as an all-in-one solution. Skyp is the Artisan alternative that gives you AI-powered outreach with human-in-the-loop control and transparent pricing.

While Artisan focuses on an autonomous AI BDR agent that researches leads, enriches information, and runs multi-channel outreach, Skyp uses AI to write unique emails while keeping you in control. This human-in-the-loop approach takes AI from 80% to 99% accuracy.

Skyp excels at high-performing use cases like reviving old leads, nurturing existing customers, and engaging warm prospects with 1:1 personalized emails.

What Makes Skyp a Better Artisan Alternative?

Skyp offers human-in-the-loop control, transparent pricing, and full visibility, while Artisan focuses on autonomous agents with opaque pricing.

Why Teams Choose Skyp Over Artisan

  • Human-in-the-loop control: Fully automated AI BDR agents risk choosing wrong prospects, going off-brand, and lacking insights. Skyp's human-in-the-loop approach gives you full control.
  • Unique emails per contact: Skyp writes unique emails for every contact, not generic agent-generated messages. Better personalization means higher response rates.
  • Transparent pricing: Skyp's pricing is straightforward and public. Artisan requires "Talk to Sales" and widely known starting pricing is $2,500/month ($30k/year) with annual contracts.
  • Full visibility: See every email, understand performance. Skyp provides complete transparency, unlike black-box AI BDR agents.
  • 10-minute setup: Get live in minutes, not weeks. Skyp's done-for-you setup gets you sending quickly, while Artisan requires sales-led onboarding.

Risks of Fully Automated AI BDR Agents

  • Wrong prospects: Autonomous agents may target the wrong companies or contacts, wasting budget and damaging sender reputation.
  • Off-brand messaging: Without human oversight, AI agents may send messages that don't match your brand voice or positioning.
  • No insights: Black-box AI agents don't provide visibility into what's working and what's not, making optimization difficult.
  • Limited customization: Autonomous agents offer less flexibility and customization compared to human-in-the-loop approaches.
