What Artisan covers —
and what Turgo adds

Read from Artisan's own pages on 15 Oct 2026, and stated plainly.

Where Artisan stops

Ava runs outbound. That is one part of the job.

Strong at one part; the rest is still yours.

One part of the operation
Ava does lead discovery, enrichment, outbound email, replies and scheduling, with a dialer in the stack. Content, LinkedIn messaging, WhatsApp and paid media are not on Artisan's pages — those stay in other tools.
Signals from Artisan's own database
Artisan's intent signals and its 250M+ verified contacts come with the platform. Turgo also uses the signals your own operation produces — site visitors, replies and campaign results — on every channel.
Pricing on request
Artisan's pricing is credit-based and scoped to lead volume, mailboxes and dialer seats; the pricing page publishes no figures and the next step is a demo request. The number comes on the call.
What Turgo adds

The whole revenue operation from one system.

Five channels, one loop, one inbox.

Five channels, one system
Content: LinkedIn and social posts. Email: outreach and follow-ups. LinkedIn: connection requests and messages. WhatsApp: conversations and broadcasts. Paid media: Meta, Google, LinkedIn and ChatGPT Ads.
Replies handled, calls with consent
Every reply from every channel lands in one inbox with the answer drafted in your context. When a prospect agrees to a call, Turgo's AI makes it, follows your script and understands the answers. Every campaign is reviewed on a schedule your plan sets, and the better version is proposed.
Published, flat, no annual lock-in.
Turgo's Business plans are published on turgo.ai/pricing: a flat monthly fee, no setup fee, no per-seat fee, ad spend on your own accounts, and an annual option only if you want it.

Why they switch

What growing teams are looking for

Six reasons teams choose one system for the whole operation over an outbound tool.

They wanted every channel run
Content, email, LinkedIn, WhatsApp and paid media from one system, instead of one tool per channel.
Pricing they could predict
A flat monthly Business plan with no setup fee and no per-seat fee; adding people does not add to the bill. Artisan's prices are not published (artisan.co/pricing, read 15 Oct 2026).
Replies were falling through
Every reply lands in one inbox with the answer drafted in your context, on the channel it came from.
No annual lock-in
Business plans are billed monthly; the annual option is there if you want two months free, not a condition of starting.
Too many tools stitched together
One brief, one system, one report — not a list tool, a sequencer, an inbox and a dashboard held together by exports.
Campaigns that keep improving
Every campaign is reviewed on your plan's schedule and the better version proposed — nothing is launched and left.
Questions buyers ask

Turgo vs Artisan: common questions

What does Artisan actually cover?
Artisan is an AI BDR built around Ava. Its own pages describe lead discovery, enrichment, campaign creation, automatic replies and scheduling with human-in-the-loop controls, and a stack that includes B2B data, deliverability, sequencing, a dialer and intent signals (artisan.co and artisan.co/ai-sales-agent, read 15 Oct 2026). Content, LinkedIn messaging, WhatsApp and paid media are not on those pages. Turgo runs all five — content, email, LinkedIn, WhatsApp and paid media — from one system, with one inbox for every reply.
Does Artisan have voice calling?
Artisan lists a dialer in Ava's stack and scopes its plans partly by dialer seats (artisan.co/llms-full.txt, read 15 Oct 2026); its pages do not describe AI-placed calls. Turgo's AI calls prospects who agree to a call: it follows your script, understands the answers and books the meeting, and every call is made with consent.
How much does Artisan cost, and is there a trial?
Artisan's pricing page describes credit-based pricing with tiers from startups to enterprise, scoped to lead volume, mailboxes and dialer seats; it publishes no figures, and the next step is a demo request (artisan.co/pricing, read 15 Oct 2026). We found no trial terms on Artisan's pages. Turgo's Business plans are published on turgo.ai/pricing: a flat monthly fee, no setup fee, no per-seat fee and no annual lock-in — Ignite is billed monthly, with an annual option if you want two months free.
How does personalization differ between Turgo and Artisan?
Artisan personalises Ava's outbound from its own data and intent signals (artisan.co/llms-full.txt, read 15 Oct 2026). Turgo learns your business from your website — brand voice, ICP, strategy — and writes in that voice on every channel; the signals it uses include your own site visitors, replies and campaign results. The bigger difference comes after the first send: Turgo brings every reply into one inbox and drafts the answer in your context, and reviews every campaign on a schedule your plan sets to propose the better version.
Can I switch from Artisan to Turgo mid-contract?
That depends on your Artisan agreement — check its term and notice period. What you can do now is run Turgo alongside it: Business plans have no setup fee and no annual lock-in, so you can put Turgo on the same ICP and compare results before your renewal.
Is Turgo just an AI SDR too?
No. An AI SDR or BDR automates one role: outbound. Turgo runs the whole revenue operation — content, email, LinkedIn, WhatsApp and paid media from one system — brings every reply into one inbox, calls prospects who agree to a call, and reviews and improves every campaign on your plan's schedule. One system, not five tools stitched together.

"Ava was good at sending email. Turgo is good at running our entire motion. The shift from one agent to fiveis the difference between a productivity tool and a marketing department."
