I replaced a $5,000/month outbound agency with a $63/month AI system.

No fluff. No bloated retainers.

Most teams are still paying agencies for things that are already automated:

Prospect research → done by AI
Personalized emails → generated per lead
Campaign execution → fully automated

With AutoSales, everything runs in one place:

Finds and manages leads
Writes hyper-personalized emails in your tone
Sends campaigns without landing in spam
Tracks replies and performance automatically

All for just $63/month.

No agency. No delays. No guesswork.

If you want to see how it works, I can share a quick breakdown.

  1. 1

    Really? I should try that tool. But is it a free trial?

    1. 1

      Sure May, no time limit

  2. 1

    Tried something similar recently—AI handled 80% of the outbound work, but the real win was still in tweaking the messaging based on replies. Curious how you’re handling that feedback loop inside this setup?

  3. 1

    That's a massive cost reduction. Curious what your conversion rates looked like before and after? Did the agency touch anything the AI setup can't handle yet?

    1. 1

      Before, the agency got some replies but it was inconsistent and slow to optimize. With AI, reply rates are more stable and I can tweak things instantly.
      Still a few edge cases for human touch, but for most outbound it’s been way more efficient—happy to set you up with a free trial if you want to test it yourself 👍

  4. 1

    Interesting shift. Replacing an agency is one thing, but the real question is whether the system can match outcomes consistently. Automation usually handles volume well, but quality and deliverability over time are where most setups start to drift.

    Curious how it’s performing on actual replies or booked meetings so far.

    1. 1

      It actually pulls context from LinkedIn and company websites, so the emails stay highly personalized. Deliverability is also a big focus, so they land in the primary inbox, and built-in follow-ups help keep conversations going.

      If you’re skeptical, totally fair — I can set you up with a free trial so you can test it yourself

    Validating GreenMate: An AI-powered companion for plant lovers worldwide. Would you use this?

    ​Hi Indie Hackers,
    ​I’m currently working on a concept called GreenMate, a mobile application designed to solve the most common challenges for urban gardeners and plant lovers globally.
    ​The Vision:
    Many people want to start gardening but feel overwhelmed by not knowing which plants suit their environment or how to treat a sick plant. GreenMate aims to be a one-stop solution.
    ​Key Features:
    ​AI Diagnosis: Instant health checks and care guides for your plants using AI.
    ​Global Nursery Finder: An interactive map to find local nurseries and gardening supplies anywhere in the world.
    ​Community Hub: A place to connect with fellow gardeners and share knowledge.
    ​Why I'm here:
    I want to build something that people actually need. Before I go full-scale with development, I want to hear from this community.
    ​Does this problem resonate with you or someone you know?
    ​What feature would make an app like this a "must-have" for you?
    ​If you are a plant lover, what is your biggest pain point right now?
    ​I’m really looking forward to your honest feedback and suggestions!

    Curious to know which AI tools you used which you found useful. Can you share?

    1. 1

      That's AutoSales, here: https://autosalesoutreach.com/. It let you try for free and no time limit

  7. 1

    This is a strong cost reduction.

    I’m researching how founders choose between agencies, SaaS tools, and AI tools. What made you trust the $63/month AI system enough to replace the agency?

    1. 1

      We’re an IT team, we used to hire an agency to get quality US/UK leads, but honestly, results were pretty limited. Then I tested this tool and it actually brought in better, real leads… so I figured it’s worth sharing.

      1. 1

        That makes sense, so the trust came from testing it against the agency and seeing better lead quality, not just the lower price.

        I’m curious: before you tested AutoSales, how did you decide it was worth trying in the first place? Was it a recommendation, demo, review, founder referral, landing page, or something else?

  8. 1

    The product is useful.

    “AutoSales” is the only thing slowing it down.

    It explains what it does, but it also makes it sound interchangeable with every other outbound tool trying to automate cold email.

    You’ve built something tighter than that.

    A name like Exirra.com or Xevoa.com gives it more edge, more recall, and a much stronger software feel than another descriptive “AI sales” label.

    That matters more once you’re selling the system, not the automation.

    1. 1

      Hey Aryan, maybe we can connect on LinkedIn and chat more about this?

      1. 1

        Absolutely.

        Here’s mine:
        www.linkedin.com/in/aryan-y-0163b0278

        Send me a connection request there and we can take it off-thread.
        Easier to pressure-test a few tighter directions properly.

        1. 1

          hey I sent it, pls accept it
