What does an SDR really cost you — versus an engine you own?
Hiring an SDR is a six-figure annual commitment before a single meeting is booked. Move the sliders to see the first-year math against an AI GTM engine live in your stack in 14 days.
Salary + tools + management + ramp. US average lands near $96k.
An in-house team costs 5.8× more than the engine — and you get full access either way.

How the numbers work
The in-house figure is fully loaded: base salary, tooling, management overhead, and ramp time before an SDR hits quota. Industry benchmarks put this near $96,000 per rep per year in the US. The AI Ropeway figure is the real engagement cost — a $3,000 one-time Sprint, or the Sprint plus a $2,500/month partnership for continuous optimization.
The difference most calculators miss: with an SDR hire you rent the output and lose it the day they leave. With an AI GTM engine, the full system lives in your stack — it keeps running whether or not you keep working with us.
