Satellyte vs 11x 2026: Signal Layer vs AI SDR

Satellyte and 11x both reduce the cost of outbound, but they do it through opposite means. Satellyte makes humans pickier. 11x replaces them.

Different bets on automation

• Satellyte: Surfaces 30 to 200 in-market accounts per month, with the signal explained and an opener drafted. A human still sends and handles replies.
• 11x: Alice runs the full outbound loop, from sourcing to send to reply triage. Humans intervene on edge cases.

The bet: which is more expensive to get right, the right list or the right reps?

Where each wins

• Satellyte: Founder-led teams, brand-conscious motions, complex products where rep judgment matters.
• 11x: Volume-led motions, simple products, teams that have already maxed out human SDR ROI.

Satellyte is cheaper to start. 11x is cheaper at scale, when it works.

Pricing

Different orders of magnitude.

Stack recommendation

• Founder doing own outbound: Satellyte.
• Mid-market team, brand-conscious: Satellyte plus human reps.
• Growth-stage, volume-led, headcount pressure: 11x.

Caveats worth an editor's eye

• Pricing as of April 2026; 11x quotes vary widely.
• 11x performance is highly ICP-dependent; require references in your vertical.
• Satellyte assumes a human will handle replies; not a full automation play.
