Comparison

Shadow Workers vs. 11x

11x charges ~$5,000/month for a single AI SDR locked into annual contracts. Shadow Workers give you a full AI workforce for a fraction of the cost.

The verdict

11x (Alice) is an AI SDR focused on outbound prospecting at enterprise prices, roughly $5,000/month with annual commitments. Shadow Workers offer a broader vision at a fraction of the cost: not just SDR, but a full AI workforce across your GTM team. Shadow Workers live in Slack (not another dashboard), onboard themselves (no sales-assisted setup), and expand beyond SDR to AE, AM, and CRM Ops.

Key differences

10x cheaper, more roles

11x charges ~$60K/year for an AI SDR. Shadow Workers use task-based pricing from $0 to $800/month for a full AI GTM team, SDR, AE, AM, CRM Ops, with more roles coming. That's 75x+ the value.

Dashboard vs. Slack-native

11x lives in its own platform, another dashboard to check. Shadow Workers live where your team already works, Slack. No new tool to learn, no context switching.

No lock-in

11x requires annual contracts that are notoriously hard to exit. Shadow Workers offer task-based pricing starting free, try it with 50 tasks/month, then scale when you see results.

Common questions

11x pricing is not publicly listed but reported at approximately $5,000/month with annual commitments (~$60K/year). Shadow Workers use task-based pricing starting free (50 tasks/month), with paid plans from $50 to $800/month, no long-term commitment.

Both offer AI SDR capabilities. Shadow Workers differentiate with 10x lower pricing, Slack-native experience, self-onboarding, flexible contracts, and the ability to hire additional roles (AE, AM, CRM Ops) from the same platform.

Yes. Shadow Workers take minutes to set up in Slack. You can run them alongside 11x and compare results, no annual contract required.

No. 11x operates through its own dedicated dashboard. Shadow Workers live natively in Slack, so your team works with AI coworkers in the same place they already collaborate.
