AI SDR pricing in 2026: what to actually pay

AI SDR pricing has settled into three models. Each has one hidden cost.

The three models

Per-seat — predictable, punishes lightweight teams, rewards volume;;Per-conversation — scales with usage, incentive to under-engage on low-fit leads;;Per-booked-meeting — best alignment, watch for gaming with low-quality bookings

The right choice

  • Per-meeting for early adopters. Per-seat once you're mature and want predictability.

Watch-outs

Booking fees on no-shows. Overage on burst inbound weeks. Confirm both in the contract.
