Comparison. Prices checked 15 September 2026.SDR Pilot vs SBL.so.
SDR Pilot (sdrpilot.ai) is an AI SDR from $97 a month that runs on your own LinkedIn account and can be driven by your own AI agent. SBL.so is a cloud outreach platform from $99 a month bundling two seats with supplied leads. Both answer with AI. SBL.so supplies the leads, SDR Pilot finds them on your own account.
- Unlimited leads, no quota
- Six sources on your account
- Every cap published
The short answer
These two are the closest match on this site, because both accept that an outreach tool has to hold a conversation rather than just send. The split is where the leads come from and what a seat is. SBL.so sells you a number of ICP matched leads a month with seats and signals bundled in. SDR Pilot sells you one LinkedIn sender that goes and finds its own people from six places on LinkedIn, unlimited.
| SDR Pilot | SBL.so | |
|---|---|---|
| Entry price | $97 a month, one sender | Starter $99 a month, 2 outreach seats |
| Mid tier | $297 a month, 10 client workspaces | Pro $189 a month, 4 outreach seats |
| Top tier | $497 a month, unlimited workspaces | Elite $997 a month, invite only |
| Leads | Unlimited, found from six LinkedIn sources | 1,000 a month on Starter, 2,000 on Pro |
| Channels | LinkedIn only | LinkedIn or WhatsApp seats |
| AI replies | From your playbook, in your inbox | Automated chat replies in over 100 languages |
| Signals | Profile viewers, post engagement, incoming requests | Job changes, funding, competitor monitoring on Pro |
| CRM | None | Built in on Pro |
| Where it runs | Cloud, dedicated residential IP per sender | Cloud based |
What SBL.so does well
It is a broader product. Two outreach seats at the entry price rather than one, a thousand ICP matched leads a month supplied to you, WhatsApp as well as LinkedIn, a built in CRM on the Pro tier, and premium signals such as job changes, funding rounds and competitor monitoring. If you want a system that hands you leads rather than one that works the account you already have, that is a real difference and SBL.so is built for it.
Where SDR Pilot is different
SDR Pilot has no lead quota, because it is not supplying leads. It is working your LinkedIn account: the people who asked to connect with you and never got an answer, the people who viewed your profile, the people who commented on your posts and on posts in your niche, the people a search on your ICP finds, and the connections you already have and never spoke to. That is unlimited on every plan, and every one of them is opened, read and scored before anything is sent.
The second difference is the safety model, which SDR Pilot publishes in full: one dedicated residential IP per sender in the account's own country, one browser identity per sender captured from the real login, one action at a time, 20 connection requests a day with a ceiling of 25, a 16 day warm-up, active hours on your own calendar day, and an encrypted session cookie rather than your password.
The third is the playbook. Every message SDR Pilot sends comes from one document drafted from your website and edited by you, and the same document decides which leads qualify. There is nothing else to configure and no campaign to maintain.
When to pick SBL.so
- You want leads supplied rather than sourced from your own account's activity.
- You need WhatsApp outreach next to LinkedIn.
- You want intent signals such as job changes, funding or competitor monitoring.
- You want a CRM inside the same tool.
When to pick SDR Pilot
- Your own LinkedIn account already has warm signals nobody is working: unread connection requests, profile viewers, post engagers.
- You want the published caps and the safety model to be part of the product rather than a support article.
- You want unlimited leads rather than a monthly lead quota.
- You run an agency and want a separate workspace, playbook and inbox per client.
SDR Pilot does not do WhatsApp. The team's other product, DM Champ, is the WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger and SMS side of the same conversation engine, and it is a separate product with separate pricing.

Which one supplies leads?
SBL.so does, 1,000 ICP matched leads a month on Starter and 2,000 on Pro. SDR Pilot supplies none and sources them instead from your incoming requests, profile viewers, post engagers, posts in your niche, people search and your own connections.
Do both reply with AI?
Yes. SBL.so advertises automated chat replies in over 100 languages. SDR Pilot answers from a playbook drafted from your website, qualifies against your ICP, and stands down on a thread as soon as you reply yourself.
