Vector Agents' 2026 comparison shows a clean bifurcation. AI-assisted incumbents still price per human (Apollo $49–99/seat, Outreach $100–160/seat) while fully autonomous agents price per outcome or per machine: 11x.ai at $5,000–$10,000/month, AiSDR around $900/month, Artisan/Ava from $280/month. The split is the clearest signal yet that the seat breaks down once the agent, not the rep, runs the sequence, and buyers are being asked to pay for booked meetings instead of logins.
