HazirMinds vs Artisan / 11x
The verdict
Artisan and 11x sell outbound SDR contracts at $1.5–10k/mo on annual or 24-month terms. That's a different job from ours: they push volume outbound; we build governed inbound-and-ops AI teams with flat tiers, published rate cards and acceptance-tested outcomes.

FAQs
If your single bottleneck is outbound sales development volume — thousands of researched prospect touches per month — and you accept annual commitments, they're credible specialists in that lane.
Outbound SDR results compound slowly and their unit economics depend on long terms — neither Artisan nor 11x publishes pricing; both route to sales, and annual commitments are the norm. Our plans are month-to-month after the first 60 days.
Yes — AI SDR and outbound campaigns are in the Aeon tier. The difference is commercial shape: flat tier + rate card, no 24-month lock-in, and the same governance layer underneath.
Their swarm is outbound-specific. Our Chief-of-Staff model orchestrates across voice, sales, ops, analytics and compliance with approval gates — scoped and acceptance-tested per engagement.
Neither publishes a public evidence standard for their claims. Our proof horizons (Built → Deployed → Operated → Verified outcome → Accepted) are on this site for anyone to audit.
Who should NOT buy HazirMinds
If you need pure outbound volume on a long contract and have staff to QA the pipeline, Artisan or 11x may serve you well. If you want a governed AI team across the whole front office — month-to-month, flat-priced, receipted — that's HazirMinds.
