Jason AI pricing, features and alternatives
Jason AI is worth buying if you already run outbound on Reply.io and your messaging is standard enough for automation to handle. Jason AI pricing starts at $500 a month billed annually for 1,000 active contacts and runs to $3,000 a month for 10,000, with unlimited users on every plan. You are buying audience size, not seats, which is the thing most buyers model wrongly.
The short answer
Buy Jason AI if Reply.io is already your sending platform, your ideal customer profile is defined, and the message does not need deep account research to land. Unlimited users on every plan means a ten-person team and a two-person team pay the same for the same audience, which is unusual in this category and genuinely useful if coverage is your constraint.
Skip it if your deals need custom messaging per account, or if you send at high volume and want control over every step. Skip it too if you run sequences somewhere else, because adopting Jason means moving your sequencing to Reply.io as well. If you want an AI SDR with a published entry price and no platform migration, Jeeva AI starts at $95 a month on annual billing.
Where Jason AI fits
Jason AI is the AI SDR inside Reply.io rather than a product you can run beside your existing stack. It finds prospects, writes email and LinkedIn outreach, handles follow-ups and replies, and books meetings, with an autopilot mode and a copilot mode where a human approves messages before they go. That architecture sets the first filter, and it is a commercial filter rather than a technical one: if you are not on Reply.io, the real decision is whether you want to be, because the AI layer arrives with a sequencing platform attached.
The fit is narrower than the category pitch suggests, and the independent reviews say so consistently. Salesforge calls Jason a decent starting point for simple, low-volume outbound, and a 30-day test by ColdReach says it delivers on basic automation for teams with a simple outreach strategy. Read those as a specification rather than a criticism. Jason works where one message framework covers a segment, where the trigger to reach out is firmographic rather than situational, and where a meeting booked from a generic opener is still a useful meeting. That describes a lot of mid-market outbound honestly.
It does not describe outbound that depends on account research. If your reps open with something they found in a 10-K, a job posting or a product release, you are paying for the part of the job Jason is weakest at and keeping the part it is strongest at anyway. Several reviews note limits on control, which matters most at exactly that end of the market. The sensible response is to run copilot mode first, review what Jason writes before it sends, and only move a segment to autopilot once fifty generated messages have survived a read.
Capacity is the better reason to buy it than cost. The vendor's own positioning is coverage: more accounts touched than your SDR headcount can reach, with follow-up that does not get dropped at the third attempt. That is a real problem and the one Jason is shaped for. It is also why the file's advice holds: treat it as a pilot rather than a headcount replacement, and compare its meetings booked against a human SDR on the same segment for a month. If it books fewer meetings than a rep but costs less than a rep, you have an answer. If it books fewer meetings on a segment a rep was not covering, you have a better one.
Before any of that, define what counts as a booked meeting, because an AI SDR will produce a number against whatever definition you leave loose. Our sales qualified lead definition is the floor, and an ideal customer profile template is the other half: Jason analyses your value proposition to build the profile it prospects against, so a vague profile produces confident targeting of the wrong accounts. The rest of the field sits in our AI SDR software directory.
Jason AI pricing
Jason AI is priced by active contacts rather than by seats, and that single fact changes how you budget for it. Reply.io sells it as its AI SDR product, separate from the core outreach plans. Our September 2026 check recorded Starter at $500, $800 or $1,000 a month billed annually for 1,000, 2,000 or 3,000 active contacts, with monthly billing at $800, $1,200 or $1,500 respectively. Growth is $1,500 or $3,000 a month billed annually for 5,000 or 10,000 contacts, with monthly billing at $2,500 or $5,000. Enterprise, covering 25,000 and 50,000 contacts, is quoted. Every plan includes unlimited users, mailboxes and warmup.
Plans by active contacts
- Starter
- $500, $800 or $1,000 a month billed annually for 1,000, 2,000 or 3,000 active contacts. Monthly billing is $800, $1,200 or $1,500. Unlimited users and mailboxes.
- Growth
- $1,500 or $3,000 a month billed annually for 5,000 or 10,000 active contacts. Monthly billing is $2,500 or $5,000.
- Enterprise

- LinkedIn automation
- $69 per account per month on Reply's price list, charged per connected LinkedIn account rather than per plan.
- Calls and SMS
- $29 per account per month on Reply's price list. Extra data and AI credit packs are sold separately again.
What a ten-rep team pays
Because users are unlimited, headcount does not appear in the arithmetic. A ten-rep team working 300 active contacts each needs 3,000 contacts, which is the top of Starter: $1,000 x 12 = $12,000 a year billed annually, or $1,500 x 12 = $18,000 if you pay monthly. The annual commitment saves $6,000 at that size, which is the largest single lever on this price list and the one you decide in the first five minutes.
Double the working list to 600 contacts per rep and the same team needs 10,000 contacts, which is the top of Growth at $3,000 a month, or $36,000 a year billed annually. Nothing about the team changed. The bill tripled because the audience did. That is the structural point to take into a budget conversation: with Jason you control cost by controlling list size, and a sloppy prospecting brief is directly a cost problem rather than only a conversion problem.
Add-ons move the total again, and they are charged per account rather than per plan. LinkedIn automation is $69 per account per month and calls and SMS are $29 per account per month on Reply's price list, with extra data and AI credit packs sold separately. Multichannel outreach is most of the pitch for an AI SDR, so price the LinkedIn line for the number of accounts you intend to send from before you compare Jason against anything. Our sales tool ROI calculator is the place to set those costs against meetings held rather than emails sent.
The definition that decides the bill
One question matters more than any figure above: how Reply.io defines an active contact, and when a contact stops counting. If a prospect who was contacted once in January still occupies a slot in June, your 3,000-contact plan holds far less live audience than it appears to, and the move to Growth arrives earlier than your model predicted. Ask for the definition in writing, ask whether contacts recycle on a cadence or on an action, and ask what happens on the day you cross your contact ceiling: whether sending stops, overage is billed, or the plan upgrades automatically. The answer is worth more than the $500 gap between two Starter steps.
Jason AI is one of the few AI SDRs in this catalogue with a published price list, and the list is only half the budget. The subscription is knowable: $12,000 a year for 3,000 contacts on annual billing, $36,000 for 10,000. The add-ons and the active-contact definition decide the rest. Note also that our September 2026 check read a September 14, 2026 archived copy of the Reply.io pricing page because the live page blocked automated access, cross-checked against two third-party 2026 breakdowns that list the same Starter and Growth prices, so confirm the current list on the vendor's site before you sign. Read how we review software for what that check does and does not cover.
What Jason AI gives up
You give up your choice of sending platform. Jason runs inside Reply.io, so buying the AI layer means adopting the sequencing underneath it. If you are already on Reply.io that is a feature. If you are on something else, the switching cost is the real price of Jason and it does not appear on the price list: migrating sequences, reconnecting mailboxes, rebuilding reporting and retraining reps.
You give up fine control over messaging. Independent reviews describe Jason as better suited to simple, low-volume campaigns than nuanced ones, and several note limits on control. Copilot mode gives some of it back by putting a human in front of the send, at the cost of the time saving that justified the purchase. Decide per segment which mode it runs in and who reviews replies, and write that down before launch rather than after the first complaint.
You give up predictable costs if your list grows. Pricing by active contacts means the bill tracks audience rather than team, so a wider prospecting brief is a budget decision. The step from 3,000 contacts on Starter to 10,000 on Growth takes the annual figure from $12,000 to $36,000 with no change in headcount. Model the list before you model the seats.
You give up multichannel in the base price. LinkedIn automation at $69 per account per month and calls and SMS at $29 per account per month are add-ons, charged per connected account. An AI SDR that only sends email is a narrower product than the category pitch, so if LinkedIn is central to your motion, add it to the comparison before you decide Jason is the cheaper option.
You give up a clear answer on trialling it. The file is honest that our sources do not confirm whether Jason AI is included in a Reply.io trial, and the plans start at $500 a month. That makes the cost of looking higher than for a tool with a free tier, so ask the vendor directly for a scoped pilot on one segment rather than committing to a year to find out.
How Jason AI compares
This category divides on two lines, and price is the second one. The first is whether the AI SDR is a layer on a sending platform you must also adopt or a standalone product, which is where Jason differs from most of the field. The second is whether the vendor publishes anything at all: Jason AI, AiSDR, Jeeva AI and Salesforge do, while 11x and Artisan quote. Compare the published ones on the unit they charge for, because they do not match. Jason bills by active contacts, AiSDR and Salesforge by plan, and Jeeva AI by seat. Every figure below comes from that product's own page as recorded in our September 2026 pricing check.
| Tool | Best for | Price | Where it breaks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jason AI | Teams already on Reply.io that want AI handling first touch and follow-up | $500 to $3,000/mo billed annually by active contacts; unlimited users | It arrives with Reply.io attached, control is limited for nuanced outbound, and LinkedIn and calling are paid add-ons |
| AiSDR | Teams that want a standalone AI SDR with a published entry price | $250 to $2,500/month | Three fixed plans mean less granularity than contact-band pricing at the small end |
| Jeeva AI | The cheapest published way to test agentic prospecting | Free, then $95 to $239/mo billed annually, one seat | Priced per seat and per credit, and its public reviews are sharply split |
| Salesforge | Running the AI SDR and your own mailbox infrastructure in one vendor | Agent Frank at $499/mo billed quarterly; platform from $40/mo annual | Mailboxes and lead data are priced separately again, so the stack total needs assembling |
| 11x | Enterprise buyers who want an AI SDR sold as a platform | Custom quote; no published rate | Quote-only, so it cannot be compared on a spreadsheet until you hold a proposal |
| Artisan | Teams buying an AI SDR as a named agent with services around it | Custom quote; no published rate | Quote-only, and the pitch assumes you want the surrounding platform too |
What to test in a Jason AI pilot
Run the pilot on one segment, in copilot mode, against a human control. The file's framing is the right one: compare meetings booked by Jason against a human SDR working the same segment for a month, and judge on meetings held rather than emails sent. Every step below exists to produce a number or a written answer you can take into a renewal conversation.
- Read fifty generated messages before anything sends, and score each one for factual accuracy and tone. If you would not let a new SDR send it, Jason should not send it either.
- Run copilot mode for the first two weeks with a named reviewer, then switch one segment to autopilot and compare reply quality. That comparison tells you which segments can ever run unattended.
- Give Jason your real target list and check where it sources contacts from, then test how you exclude an account, a persona or a competitor. Targeting that drifts and cannot be corrected is a data problem you will own, not the vendor.
- Get the active-contact definition in writing, then test it: contact a cohort, wait, and see whether those contacts free up. Your effective plan size depends on the answer.
- Check how replies are classified and where the handoff to a human happens. Send three awkward replies yourself, including an objection and an out-of-office, and see what Jason does with each.
- Price the add-ons you intend to run, at $69 per LinkedIn account per month and $29 per account for calls and SMS, and add them to the subscription before you compare Jason with anything else.
- Run a human SDR on a matched segment for the same month, then compare meetings held, not meetings booked. Put both totals next to the all-in cost and you have the business case either way.
