Watch out: Reaches across a lot of surfaces at once, which is the point and also the thing to check against your own data rules. The free plan stops at five meeting transcripts a month, and the compliance features sit in Enterprise+, which takes a minimum of five licences and so starts near $150 a month.

Watch out: Contact data is never as accurate as the counter suggests, and the AI writes on top of whatever it found. Every plan is metered in credits, so what you pay tracks how much you export rather than how many people log in.

Two things separate these and both are on every card.
Fit
Whether a tool is built for this job, a strong fit for it, or
able to do it without that being its focus.
Free plan
Whether there is a tier you can keep using rather than a
trial that expires.
The order
Fit first, then a free plan, then alphabetical. There is
no score, no weighting we decline to publish, and nothing on this site a company can buy.
Questions
What is the best ai for sales?
There is no single answer, which is why this page lists 10 rather than one: Copy.ai, Fireflies.ai, Fathom, Intercom, Read AI, ChatGPT, Apollo, Clay, HubSpot, Pipedrive. 2 of them are built for this kind of work rather than able to do it. Start with a free one.
Which of these have a free plan?
8 of the 10: Copy.ai, Fireflies.ai, Fathom, Read AI, ChatGPT, Apollo, Clay, HubSpot. Free means a real free tier you can keep using, not a trial that expires.
How was this list chosen?
By hand, from the 750 products this site tracks, and it is checked against the catalogue on every build — a product renamed or removed breaks the build rather than quietly disappearing from here. Nothing on this site can be paid for: no listing, no position, no wording.
