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.
