How much does AI cold calling cost?
Short answer: AI cold calling is typically priced per minute of talk time. Salesman.ac charges $0.15 per minute with no seats, no contracts, and no monthly minimums. A one-hour block of AI dialing costs about $9.
Key facts
- Salesman.ac price: $0.15 per minute of live talk time.
- No per-seat licensing, no monthly minimum commitment.
- Telephony charges (Twilio or bring-your-own) are separate and metered by the carrier.
- Compared to a human SDR loaded cost of $80k-$120k/year, AI dialing is roughly 90-95% cheaper per hour of conversation.
What's included in the per-minute rate
Voice engine, LLM inference, sales orchestration, transcripts, and analytics. Telephony minutes are billed by your carrier.
Example monthly cost
A team running 200 hours of AI dialing per month spends around $1,800 on Salesman.ac plus telephony.
When it's cheaper than humans
Any workload above roughly 20 calling hours per week is materially cheaper with AI than with a full-time SDR.
