We tested these platforms to replace lead follow-up.

Only one worker didn’t need babysitting.

Why we staged the teardown

Conversica helped pioneer the concept of AI-powered lead engagement. Their “AI Assistants” are designed to converse with inbound leads, follow up on MQLs, and nudge interest toward a sales conversation. It's a valuable starting point for teams looking to scale response coverage.

But in 2025, GTM teams need more than just polite nudges—they need outcomes: booked meetings, CRM-ready leads, real-time response, and multichannel orchestration.

So we put six leading Conversica alternatives to the test—including 11x. The setup? Real leads, live domains, synced CRMs. The clock? 14 days.

Platform Comparison

  • 11x (Alice + Julian): GTM-ready Digital Workers for autonomous inbound + outbound across voice, email, SMS, LinkedIn, WhatsApp
  • Conversica: Email-based AI assistant for lead follow-up and engagement
  • 7Targets: AI-powered email assistant for automated sales follow-ups
  • Apollo.io: Contact data + outbound sequencer + enrichment for cold outreach
  • Kalendar AI: AI SDR that automates email/LinkedIn sequences and booking
  • Regie.ai: AI-powered sequencing and content generation for outbound reps

What We Measured

  • Lever: Real-World Impact
  • Speed-to-lead: Can it instantly respond to demo form fills or trigger signals?
  • Multichannel reach: Is it native across email, phone, SMS, WhatsApp, LinkedIn?
  • Reply handling: Does it qualify, disqualify, route, and book meetings on its own?
  • CRM integration: Bi-directional with Salesforce/HubSpot—or still copy/paste?
  • Setup time: Can it deploy in under a day, or require weeks of configuration?
  • Security posture: Is it enterprise-ready (SOC2, GDPR), or risk-prone?

High-Level Result: 11x Replaced the Role—Not Just the Tasks

Conversica and peers help reps respond faster

But only 11x handled the entire GTM loop—outbound, inbound, follow-up, objection handling, meeting booking, and CRM sync—with no human in the loop.

Inside 11x: Alice and Julian in Action

Day Zero

  • 14:00 – Lead list uploaded
  • 14:02 – Alice dedupes, enriches with 17+ real-time signals
  • 14:05 – Domain health checks pass, CRM sync starts
  • 14:06 – Multichannel outreach launches (email, LinkedIn, SMS)

Inbound = 17s Response Time

  • 03:17 – A VP Marketing submits a demo form
  • 03:17:17 – Julian calls, qualifies, books meeting
  • 03:18 – Calendar invite sent, CRM updated, Slack alert posted

Realtime Adaptation

  • Alice pivots from email to WhatsApp when open rates drop
  • Messages rewrite in-sequence based on new funding signals
  • All logged and routed—no RevOps tickets or rep tasks required

Where Other Platforms Stumbled

  • Conversica – Email + optional SMS; no native voice, WhatsApp, or LinkedIn. Complex replies still escalate to reps; CRM syncing often needs middleware.
  • 7Targets – Automates follow-up, but can't book meetings or attach docs. Lacks multichannel reach, CRM sync, and real-time AI qualification.
  • Apollo.io – Massive data catalog and sequencer, but no real-time signal detection, no reply management, and weak CRM sync—still very manual.
  • Kalendar AI – SMS (beta) supported; still no AI voice. CRM sync via webhooks or Zapier; bi-directional fields limited.
  • Regie.ai – Excellent for content generation and sequencing, but no autonomous execution or AI voice. SDRs still run the playbook.
