AN HONEST ANSWER

Choose AI SDR tools if

  • Outbound prospecting at volume is the only job you need done.
  • You already have a CRM and a sales team ready for the meetings it books.
  • You want a tool built only for that stage of sales.

AND THE OTHER SIDE

Choose Cadr if

  • Sales is one of several jobs piling up, next to support, orders and invoices.
  • Most of your new business comes from enquiries and repeat customers.
  • You want one workspace and one memory of your customers for every team.
