Common questions

Frequently asked questions

How did you pick these tools?

We weighted output quality, deliverability impact, CRM fit, pricing, and how badly they break when scaled past 200 sends/day. Author: Siddharth Gangal, ex-AE.

Are autonomous AI SDRs actually safe for deliverability?

Mostly no — most break sender reputation under load. Assistive tools that route through warmed-up rep inboxes (like Gangly) preserve deliverability.

Will an AI SDR replace my human SDRs?

Not yet. The strongest results we've seen come from AI-assisted human reps, not bots. Pure autonomous tools struggle with reply handling and discovery.

Do these integrate with HubSpot or Salesforce?

All listed tools integrate with both, though sync depth varies.

Can I try Gangly free?

Yes — 14 days, no card. Full workflow live in under 5 minutes.
