MarketBetter vs AnyBiz comparison

AnyBiz.io has positioned itself as the ultimate SDR replacement: an AI sales agent that automates email, LinkedIn, and even cold calls across 400+ B2B companies. Their pitch is bold โ€” "hire AI sales agents to generate meetings for any business." With plans ranging from $949 to $1,745/month and a Super Agent tier for enterprises, they're not cheap. But they promise to do the work of an entire SDR team.

MarketBetter takes the opposite approach. Instead of replacing your SDRs, it turns them into pipeline machines by combining website visitor identification, a daily prioritized playbook, smart dialer, AI chatbot, and hyper-personalized email sequences into one platform.

Both claim to generate more pipeline with less effort. But the underlying philosophy โ€” replace your people vs. empower your people โ€” changes everything about the experience. Here's how they actually compare.

Philosophy: Replace SDRs vs. Supercharge SDRsโ€‹

AnyBiz wants to be your SDR. Literally. Their AI agents handle prospecting, email outreach, LinkedIn engagement, and even cold calls autonomously. You set up your ICP, let the agent learn your product, and it goes to work 24/7. The tagline is "it costs you less than a human employee" โ€” and at $949-$1,745/month, that's technically true compared to a $60K+ SDR salary.

MarketBetter wants to make your SDRs the best version of themselves. Every morning, each rep opens a personalized playbook that says: "Here are the 15 highest-priority prospects to contact today, ranked by intent signal strength. Company X just visited your pricing page twice. Company Y's champion just moved to a new role. Here's what to say and which channel to use." The AI does the thinking; the human does the selling.

This philosophical split matters more than any feature comparison. It determines how your sales team operates, how prospects experience your outreach, and ultimately how many deals you close.

Pricing: What You're Really Payingโ€‹

AnyBiz Pricingโ€‹

AnyBiz charges based on the volume of leads contacted and channels used:

  • Starter: ~$499/month โ€” Email-only outreach, 1,000 leads contacted/month, 5 domains, 15 mailboxes
  • Business: $949/month โ€” Email + LinkedIn, 3,000 leads contacted/month, 10 domains, 30 mailboxes
  • Expert: $1,745/month โ€” All 3 channels (email + LinkedIn + cold calls), 5,000 leads contacted/month, 15 domains, 45 mailboxes
  • Super Agent: Custom pricing โ€” 8,000 leads/month, 15 domains, 60 mailboxes, priority support

AnyBiz includes email infrastructure management (domains, mailboxes, warm-up via Warmy.io), personalized landing pages, and brand awareness auto-posting. No separate tools needed for cold email infrastructure.

However, at $1,745/month for the Expert plan, you're paying nearly $21,000/year for a tool that still lacks website visitor identification, live chat, and a human-controlled dialer.

MarketBetter Pricingโ€‹

MarketBetter prices by active SDR seats:

  • Starter: $500/month โ€” 3 seats, chatbot + visitor ID, 5K outbound actions, 2K enrichment credits
  • Growth: $1,500/month โ€” 5 seats, full SDR dashboard + daily playbook, 25K outbound actions, 5K enrichment credits, champion tracking
  • Scale: $3,000/month โ€” 10 seats, smart dialer, unlimited actions, 15K enrichment credits

At $1,500/month (Growth), you get the complete stack: visitor identification, AI chatbot, SDR playbook, email sequences, champion tracking, and enrichment credits. No separate tools to buy. Compare this to AnyBiz's $1,745 Expert plan, which gives you the AI agent but no visitor ID, no chatbot, and no human-controlled dialer.

Where AnyBiz Winsโ€‹

1. True hands-off automation. AnyBiz is genuinely autonomous. If you have zero SDRs and want AI to handle everything from prospecting to cold calling, AnyBiz is more fully automated than most competitors. The agent doesn't wait for human input โ€” it makes decisions, sends messages, and follows up independently.

2. Email infrastructure included. Domains, mailboxes, deliverability warm-up with Warmy.io โ€” all managed for you. This is a real advantage for teams that don't want to deal with email setup and maintenance.

3. Social media auto-posting. AnyBiz's brand awareness feature auto-posts to LinkedIn, Facebook, and X/Twitter. While the content quality is debatable, it's an included feature that MarketBetter doesn't offer.

4. Personalized landing pages. Each prospect gets a custom landing page, which can increase conversion rates on outbound campaigns. This is a creative touch that most AI SDR tools don't include.

5. LinkedIn automation depth. AnyBiz goes beyond just messaging โ€” it auto-connects, views profiles, endorses skills, follows prospects, and likes recent posts. This creates a multi-touch LinkedIn presence that feels more human-like.

Where MarketBetter Winsโ€‹

1. First-party intent signals. MarketBetter identifies the companies visiting your website right now. This is the warmest signal in B2B sales โ€” someone actively researching your product. AnyBiz has zero website visitor identification. It relies entirely on outbound signals and third-party data, meaning it misses the prospects already coming to you.

2. The daily SDR playbook. Instead of an AI agent autonomously deciding who to contact and what to say (and sometimes getting it wrong), MarketBetter gives each SDR a prioritized, actionable list. The AI handles the intelligence; your reps handle the relationships. This means higher-quality conversations and better close rates.

3. Human-controlled smart dialer. Phone is still the highest-converting outbound channel in B2B. MarketBetter's smart dialer lets your reps make warm calls based on intent signals. AnyBiz offers AI cold calling โ€” but automated cold calls have notoriously low conversion rates and can damage your brand if the AI misreads a conversation.

4. AI chatbot captures inbound. While AnyBiz is purely outbound, MarketBetter's chatbot engages every website visitor in real-time. For companies investing in SEO, content, or paid ads, this captures demand that would otherwise bounce โ€” a channel AnyBiz simply doesn't address.

5. Reliability. G2 users report frequent software bugs with AnyBiz that impact critical operations (14 mentions in G2 pros/cons). MarketBetter maintains a 4.97 G2 rating with consistently positive feedback on reliability and support.

6. Reporting depth. AnyBiz users commonly complain about limited reporting and customization options. MarketBetter provides full SDR performance dashboards, campaign analytics, and pipeline attribution โ€” the data revenue leaders need to make decisions.

What Real Users Sayโ€‹

AnyBiz (G2 + Trustpilot Reviews)โ€‹

What they like:

  • Automation saves significant time vs. manual prospecting
  • Good email deliverability with built-in infrastructure
  • Multi-channel approach (email + LinkedIn + calls) is comprehensive

Common complaints:

  • Frequent software bugs impacting functionality during critical operations (14 G2 mentions)
  • Limited reporting โ€” hard to track specific campaign metrics
  • UI could be more intuitive
  • Features feel limited in some areas, need more training resources
  • Auto-generated content sometimes lacks nuance for complex ICPs

MarketBetter (G2 โ€” 4.97 Rating)โ€‹

What they like:

  • Visitor identification uncovers leads competitors miss
  • Daily playbook eliminates SDR decision fatigue
  • Best-in-class support with fast response times
  • 70% less manual SDR work while keeping humans in control

Common complaints:

  • Full value requires Growth plan ($1,500/month)
  • Initial setup requires ICP configuration time

The Hidden Cost Problemโ€‹

AnyBiz markets itself as cheaper than hiring an SDR. And at $949-$1,745/month, it technically is compared to a $60K salary + benefits. But here's what the math misses:

What AnyBiz doesn't include that you'll still need:

  • Website visitor identification tool ($200-$500/month)
  • Live chat / chatbot ($100-$300/month)
  • Human SDRs for phone outreach and complex deals (AI cold calls convert poorly)
  • Better reporting tool to supplement AnyBiz's limited analytics

Total cost of the AnyBiz stack: $1,245-$2,545/month + SDR salaries for phone work

MarketBetter Growth plan: $1,500/month includes visitor ID, chatbot, dialer, email, playbook, and champion tracking. One invoice. One platform. One login.

When to Choose AnyBizโ€‹

Choose AnyBiz if:

  • You have zero SDRs and no plans to hire โ€” you need fully autonomous outbound
  • Your sales motion is purely email + LinkedIn (no phone outreach needed)
  • You want an AI agent that handles everything without human involvement
  • Social media auto-posting matters to your strategy
  • You're comfortable with autonomous AI decisions about messaging and targeting
  • Bug tolerance is high โ€” you can work around occasional platform issues

When to Choose MarketBetterโ€‹

Choose MarketBetter if:

  • You have SDRs on your team (or plan to hire them) and want to maximize their output
  • Phone outreach is critical to your sales motion
  • You want first-party intent signals from website visitors โ€” not just third-party outbound data
  • You need inbound capture via AI chatbot alongside outbound sequences
  • Reliability matters โ€” you can't afford platform bugs during critical outreach windows
  • You want one platform instead of cobbling together 4-5 tools
  • Human control over every prospect interaction is non-negotiable

The Bottom Lineโ€‹

AnyBiz is for companies that want to remove humans from the SDR equation entirely. It's a competent autonomous agent with solid email infrastructure, LinkedIn automation depth, and genuine hands-off operation. At $949-$1,745/month, it can work for bootstrapped companies with no SDR headcount โ€” if you can tolerate the occasional bugs and limited reporting.

MarketBetter is for companies that believe the best sales teams combine AI intelligence with human relationships. The daily playbook, first-party visitor identification, smart dialer, and AI chatbot create a complete SDR operating system that no autonomous agent can replicate. Your reps sell smarter. Your pipeline grows faster. And every conversation still has a human behind it.

The question isn't which tool has more features. It's whether you trust an AI agent to represent your company โ€” or whether you want AI to empower the humans who do.

MarketBetter vs Topo.io: Full-Stack SDR Platform vs YC-Backed AI Agent [2026]

MarketBetter vs Topo.io comparison

Topo.io launched out of Y Combinator with a simple pitch: an AI agent that runs your outbound playbook so your reps don't have to. Founded by ex-Aircall leaders who scaled ARR from $10M to $110M, the Paris-based startup has attracted 101 G2 reviews and a growing base of European and US sales teams.

MarketBetter takes a fundamentally different approach. Instead of replacing your SDRs with an AI agent, it makes your existing team dramatically more effective โ€” combining website visitor identification, a daily SDR playbook, smart dialer, AI chatbot, and hyper-personalized email sequences into one platform.

Both tools promise to solve the same problem: more pipeline from less manual work. But they solve it in completely different ways. Here's an honest breakdown of when each one makes sense.

The Core Difference: Autonomous Agent vs SDR Operating Systemโ€‹

Topo.io is an autonomous AI agent. You set up your ICP, train it on your product, and it handles prospecting, messaging, and follow-ups. Think of it as hiring a virtual SDR who works 24/7 โ€” finding leads, writing emails, managing replies, and booking meetings. Your human reps barely touch the outbound process.

MarketBetter is an SDR operating system. It doesn't replace your reps โ€” it tells them exactly who to contact, why, and how. Every morning, your SDRs open a prioritized playbook that combines first-party intent signals (website visitors, chatbot conversations, email engagement) with enriched contact data. They use the built-in dialer and email tools to execute. The AI handles the intelligence; humans handle the relationships.

This isn't a subtle difference. It determines your entire sales workflow.

Pricing Breakdownโ€‹

Topo.io Pricingโ€‹

Topo operates on a usage-based model tied to leads contacted per month:

  • Agent Plan: $900/month โ€” 1,000 leads contacted, ICP training, playbook setup, enriched data, email + LinkedIn campaigns
  • Growth Plan: ~$2,000/month โ€” Expanded lead volume for mid-market teams
  • Pro Plan: Custom pricing โ€” Enterprise features, dedicated support

All plans include audience building, intent signals, data enrichment, messaging, multichannel campaigns, reply management, and email infrastructure. No separate tools to buy โ€” Topo handles domains, mailboxes, and deliverability internally.

At $900/month for 1,000 leads, that works out to $0.90 per lead contacted. For teams that need volume, the Growth plan at ~$2,000/month brings the per-lead cost down significantly.

MarketBetter Pricingโ€‹

MarketBetter prices by active SDR seats:

  • Starter: $500/month โ€” 3 SDR seats, chatbot + visitor identification, 5K outbound actions, 2K enrichment credits
  • Growth: $1,500/month โ€” 5 seats, full SDR dashboard + daily playbook, 25K outbound actions, 5K enrichment credits, champion tracking
  • Scale: $3,000/month โ€” 10 seats, smart dialer, unlimited actions, 15K enrichment credits

The key difference: MarketBetter's pricing includes the entire stack โ€” visitor ID, chatbot, dialer, email, enrichment. With Topo, you'd still need separate tools for website visitor identification, phone outreach, and live chat.

Where Topo.io Winsโ€‹

1. Fully autonomous outbound. If you have zero SDRs or a very small team, Topo handles everything. You set it up, train the agent, and it runs. For solo founders or companies that can't justify hiring reps, this is genuinely valuable.

2. Built-in email infrastructure. Topo manages domains, mailboxes, and deliverability for you. No separate Instantly or SmartLead subscription needed. This is a real time-saver for teams that don't want to manage email infrastructure.

3. Slack-native workflow. The agent reports to you in Slack โ€” new responses, hot leads, weekly reports, lead quality insights. For teams that live in Slack, this feels natural.

4. YC pedigree and Aircall DNA. The founding team scaled Aircall to $110M ARR. They understand sales at scale, and the product reflects that operational discipline.

Where MarketBetter Winsโ€‹

1. First-party intent signals. MarketBetter identifies companies visiting your website right now. These are warm signals that no third-party intent provider can match. When someone is reading your pricing page, that lead goes straight to the top of your SDR's playbook. Topo relies on third-party signals from LinkedIn, G2, and GitHub โ€” useful, but not as timely.

2. The daily playbook. Instead of an AI agent running autonomously (and sometimes off-track), MarketBetter gives each SDR a prioritized list of who to contact, why they're a fit, and what to say. Your reps stay in control of every conversation while the AI handles the research and prioritization.

3. Multi-channel with a real dialer. Phone is still the highest-converting outbound channel for B2B sales. MarketBetter includes a smart dialer; Topo is limited to email and LinkedIn. For companies where phone outreach matters, this is a dealbreaker.

4. AI chatbot captures inbound. While Topo focuses exclusively on outbound, MarketBetter's chatbot engages every website visitor in real-time. This captures inbound demand that would otherwise bounce. For companies investing in content and ads, this doubles the return.

5. Human relationships, AI intelligence. MarketBetter's philosophy is that the best SDR teams combine human judgment with AI-powered intelligence. Your reps build real relationships. The AI just makes sure they're talking to the right people at the right time.

What Real Users Sayโ€‹

Topo.io (G2 โ€” 101 reviews)โ€‹

What they like:

  • Easy setup and fast onboarding
  • Agent autonomously handles prospecting
  • Good integration with existing CRM

Common complaints:

  • Multichannel features still limited (some channels "coming soon")
  • Copy can lack deep personalization for complex ICPs
  • Struggles with larger-scale campaigns and datasets
  • Some users report over-hyped reply metrics vs. actual outcomes

MarketBetter (G2 โ€” 4.97 rating)โ€‹

What they like:

  • Visitor identification catches leads they'd never find otherwise
  • Daily playbook eliminates decision fatigue for SDRs
  • Support team is responsive and hands-on

Common complaints:

  • Learning curve for teams switching from manual processes
  • Best value kicks in at Growth tier ($1,500/month)

When to Choose Topo.ioโ€‹

Choose Topo if:

  • You have no SDR team and need a fully autonomous outbound agent
  • Your sales motion is email + LinkedIn only (no phone outreach needed)
  • You want zero manual effort โ€” set it and let the AI run
  • You're a solo founder or very small team that can't manage SDR workflows
  • You're comfortable with an AI agent making autonomous decisions about who to contact and what to say

When to Choose MarketBetterโ€‹

Choose MarketBetter if:

  • You have SDRs on your team and want to make them 2-3x more productive
  • Phone outreach is part of your sales motion
  • You want to capture inbound demand through visitor ID and chatbot โ€” not just run outbound
  • You need first-party intent signals from your own website traffic
  • You want human control over every conversation with AI-powered prioritization
  • You need a single platform instead of stitching together 4-5 separate tools

The Bottom Lineโ€‹

Topo.io is a solid choice if you're betting on fully autonomous AI outbound. The YC backing, ex-Aircall team, and 101 G2 reviews give it credibility. At $900/month for 1,000 leads contacted, the unit economics can work โ€” especially for teams with no existing SDR headcount.

MarketBetter is the better fit if you believe the future of sales is human SDRs powered by AI intelligence โ€” not AI replacing humans. The combination of visitor identification, daily playbook, smart dialer, chatbot, and email sequences gives your team everything they need in one platform. No separate intent data subscriptions. No external dialer. No standalone chatbot.

The real question: do you want to replace your SDRs or supercharge them?
