OneAway vs AiSDR
AiSDR’s own page puts it at “5–10 hrs/month to set direction and approve messages”, and says your team “needs to understand the basics of domain health”. OneAway is the other way round. AI agents we built run your cold email and LinkedIn, from $3,250 a month, and you take the meetings.
OneAway wrote this page, and we sell one of the two options on it. AiSDR facts were read from aisdr.com on November 14, 2026, and every one is sourced at the bottom. Where AiSDR is the better pick, we say so.
Who does the work
AiSDR’s homepage lists who it’s not for, including teams that “Want ‘set and forget’ automation”. It’s honest: the agent needs a person. Flip the switch to see who that person is.

$141,000 less than AiSDR pay as you go over a year.
Below about 2,170 people, AiSDR is cheaper.
If you’re testing outbound at low volume, that matters. Against AiSDR’s best stated team rate, the line moves to about 3,620.
The units aren’t identical.
AiSDR’s $1.50 covers email and LinkedIn for each person. Intro is email only; LinkedIn starts on Managed at $6,200.
Neither guarantees meetings.
AiSDR’s pricing page gives 1–3% of cold prospects to a booked meeting as its guide. OneAway does not guarantee a meeting count.

Ami, or your team
Answered in 5 to 10 minutes, by AiSDR’s pricing page. In co-pilot mode, after someone on your team approves it. AiSDR’s homepage adds: “Your team takes over sales conversations when needed.”
Contract
AiSDR pay as you go has no contract at all: “Charged daily · Stop anytime.” Team plans are different. Here is the pricing page, and here is the clause.
“Team plans are billed monthly with quarterly contracts. Cancel anytime.”
Early Cancellation
“You may choose to cancel your subscription early at your convenience provided that, we will not provide any refunds of prepaid fees or unused Subscription, and you will promptly pay all unpaid fees due through the end of the Subscription term.”
Also in the terms: a subscription “will automatically renew under the exact same conditions unless you cancel it”, and notice of non-renewal is due “10 days prior to the expiration of your then-current Term”.
Our terms. All of them.
The same on every plan.
On an AiSDR team plan, your order form may set different terms, so check it for your renewal date. AiSDR, for its part, says you own every domain and mailbox you set up with it.
