Two ways to price AI

Buzz AI sells an AI employee.
Seleqt makes AI the default.

Buzz AI is a broad sales engagement platform: LinkedIn, email, calling, voicemail drops, SMS, and video, with a 350M+ contact database. Its most capable AI, including AI Targeting and an autonomous AI Employee, is on a plan priced for replacing an SDR. Seleqt puts AI targeting and research into its entry plan.

Buzz AI
Buzz AI makes sense when

You want calls, voicemail, and SMS in your sequences, or a fully autonomous AI SDR.

Core covers LinkedIn, email, and a dialer for $79 a seat. AI Employee adds autonomous prospecting, AI Targeting, unlimited export, and Salesforce for $695 a seat.

Seleqt
Seleqt makes sense when

You want AI to choose and research your prospects, and you still write or approve the outreach.

Every lead gets an AI verdict with reasoning and sources, plus hiring, funding, and news research. Messages go out on LinkedIn and email from a $79 plan.

01 / TARGETING

AI picks the leads
on the first plan.

Buzz AI lists AI Targeting on its $695 AI Employee plan. Seleqt’s AI qualification is included on Starter and in the trial.

02 / CREDITS

5,000 credits
without the jump.

Buzz AI Core includes 500 credits a month, and 5,000 comes with AI Employee. Seleqt Starter includes 5,000 a month at $79.

03 / DATA

A bigger pool
to target from.

Buzz AI cites 350M+ verified contacts. Seleqt searches a 700M+ contact database, plus your LinkedIn and Sales Navigator imports.

Benchmark: three price points

A few useful answers

Before you choose.

Can HeyReach run multichannel campaigns?

Yes. Its native integrations coordinate LinkedIn activity with separate email platforms, including pausing follow-ups when someone replies. The distinction is where email is sent, not whether the channels can work together. See its documented setup ↗

Can HeyReach personalize messages using AI research?

Yes, through connected workflows. Its Clay integration maps generated icebreakers and research into message fields. Seleqt’s positioning brings research and qualification into the product workflow. See the Clay integration ↗

When is HeyReach a strong fit?

When your priority is operating many LinkedIn senders and you already use a research and email stack. Automatic sender rotation and its shared LinkedIn inbox are clear strengths.

Is Seleqt always cheaper?

No. Compare sender counts, credit usage, and subscriptions you already have. A multi-sender agency needs a different comparison from a small team starting its first campaign.

How should I evaluate the difference?

Use the same qualification criteria and measure campaign preparation time, research quality, and message relevance. Then compare positive replies and meetings on separate audiences.
