Why 11x pricing doesn't work for small businesses

$500–$5,000+/mo is appropriate if you're closing $500k+ in annual pipeline. For a startup or small agency, that's 12 months of runway on a tool that hasn't proven itself. Outpost was built for the teams that 11x's pricing excludes by design.

What $49/mo actually gets you at Outpost

The Starter plan includes 500 leads/month with full AI SDR functionality — ICP targeting, per-prospect research, personalized email writing, follow-up sequences, and reply detection. Not a stripped-down trial. The same engine as Growth, just fewer leads.

Research-driven vs volume-driven outreach

11x is optimized for scale — thousands of contacts per month for enterprise SDR teams. Outpost takes a different bet: research each prospect individually, find a real signal (hiring for X, raised funding, posting about Y), write an email worth reading. Smaller volume, materially better reply rates.

Why month-to-month matters more than you think

AI SDR tools are still maturing fast. The tool that's best today might not be in 6 months. Locking into an annual contract with 11x means you're betting the full year's budget on a snapshot in time. Outpost's month-to-month lets you stay flexible as the market evolves.

When 11x might actually be the right call

This page exists to win over buyers who don't need enterprise pricing. But a straight answer means acknowledging when 11x makes sense — because you deserve that, even if we'd rather convert you.
