Our Scoring System

How We Score Each AI SDR

At AISDR.shop, our mission is to help sales teams, founders, and agencies make confident decisions about which AI SDR solution is right for them. That’s why we’ve developed a consistent, expert-led scoring framework to evaluate every AI sales agent featured on the site. We don’t just glance at feature checklists or marketing claims - we assess each agent through a multi-dimensional lens designed to reflect real-world performance and value.

What We Evaluate

Our scoring system is built around core criteria that matter most in real sales environments:

1. Core Capabilities

We examine what the agent can actually do: outbound email, multichannel outreach, prospecting, follow-ups, booking meetings, CRM updates, and more. Agents that execute full-funnel workflows independently score higher than those that rely heavily on human intervention.

2. Personalization & Copy Quality

We assess how well the agent crafts messages. Does it sound human? Can it personalize at scale using buyer signals like LinkedIn data, technographics, or firmographics? Quality of outreach directly impacts reply rates - and we weigh that heavily.

3. Automation & Autonomy

Some agents are “assistants.” Others act like full-fledged SDRs. We score higher for autonomous agents that can run continuously with minimal input, including generating lead lists, writing emails, and scheduling follow-ups on their own.

4. Integrations & Workflow Fit

We look at how easily the agent plugs into your stack. Native integrations with CRMs, enrichment tools, or outbound platforms increase usability and adoption - which influences our scoring.

5. Email Deliverability

An AI SDR is only as good as its inbox placement. We prioritize agents that take deliverability seriously - whether through native infrastructure, partner tools, or smart sending practices.

6. Scalability & Control

Can the agent scale across teams or campaigns? Can you fine-tune tone, frequency, ICP targeting, or workflows? We reward tools that offer balance between autonomy and control.

7. Transparency & Roadmap Maturity

We factor in how open vendors are about their current limitations, product roadmap, and support reliability. Vaporware doesn’t get a free pass here.

8. Real-World Validation

Lastly, we look at the traction each product has - user feedback, case studies, and how widely it’s being used by teams like yours.

Why You Can Trust Our Scoring

Our editorial process is driven by industry experts who’ve worked in B2B sales, cold outreach, and automation for years. Every agent is reviewed manually and independently - and we update our scores as new features are launched or product quality changes.

This isn’t pay-to-play. It’s performance-based.
