Agentic Index
Artisan vs Jeeva (2026)

Artisan's Ava runs inside a consolidated outbound platform with paid tiers at 280 and 660 dollars a month. Jeeva is inbox native, a multi agent system working from inside Gmail or Outlook, with paid tiers roughly at 49, 119, and 299 dollars. Artisan is the fuller platform; Jeeva is the lighter footprint.
This comparison is published by Agentic Index, an independent agentic AI vendor research platform. Artisan and Jeeva are each graded against the same 14 capability Agentic Index taxonomy, from the vendor's own public materials under the Agentic Index verification standard, alongside 956 researched vendors. No vendor pays for placement and no vendor has reviewed this page. How this evidence is graded
Choose Artisan if
- You want the platform version: data, deliverability, sequencing, and Ava under one roof.
- Your volume justifies the 280 dollar tier and will grow into 660.
- A dedicated surface for outbound beats working from the inbox at scale.
Choose Jeeva if
- Two figure monthly pricing is the constraint, and Jeeva is the credible option there.
- The inbox is where your team lives; no new tool to adopt.
- Multi agent discovery, enrichment, and scoring included at the low end is unusual value.
