OXYGENvsAttio

Oxygen vs Attio Attio is a CRM for warm email. Oxygen finds leads and reaches them cold.

Oxygen finds emails and phones, runs cold email and LinkedIn from one sequence, and keeps a CRM with deals in the same workspace, from $49 a month with no seat per user. Attio is a deeper CRM with sequences for warm email: it leads on email and calendar sync, permissions and mobile apps, on security, and on a free plan that sends email.

Why switch from Attio to Oxygen

Attio advises against cold outreach from its sequences

Attio's help lists "Cold or high volume sales outreach" among the uses its sequences "should not be used" for, and mail goes out from your own mailbox, 200 a day at most. Oxygen sells inboxes at $4 a month with warm-up, plus placement tests from $1 an inbox a month.

Email deliverability in detail

LinkedIn outreach needs a second tool

Attio sends no LinkedIn steps, and its blog says its own team runs LinkedIn touches through lemlist. Oxygen runs invites, messages and InMail in the cloud at $34 a month per account, in the same sequence as email.

LinkedIn automation in detail

An Oxygen table of 18 leads with company, name, title, industry, employees, funding, a work email column and HQ

Finding emails and phones takes another tool

Attio enriches only from an email or domain you already have; its Hunter app finds emails on your own Hunter key, and its blog says its team enriches in Clay. Oxygen's waterfalls try 17 email and 13 phone providers on plan credits.

Lead data from multiple vendors in detail

Every person who sends needs a Pro seat

Attio's sequences start on Pro, at $99 a seat a month or $79 yearly, and every member is on the same plan, so 3 senders cost $297 a month. Oxygen is one plan per workspace from $49, with no seat per user.

Across 13 criteria: OXYGEN ahead on 9 (lead data, deliverability, LinkedIn, extra channels, sequences, workflows, AI, price, data access), Attio ahead on 3 (security, CRM depth, free plan), even on 1. How we compared

Lead data and signals: Oxygen vs Attio

Where does Attio get its lead data, and how does Oxygen's compare?

Partly. Attio enriches people and companies on every plan, but only from an email or domain you already have, and finds no emails or phones itself; its Hunter and lemlist apps run on your own keys and credits. Oxygen's waterfalls try 17 email and 13 phone providers and charge only on a hit.

Email, LinkedIn and more channels: Oxygen vs Attio

How does Attio protect deliverability, and what does Oxygen include?

With send limits and bounce suppression. Attio sends from your Gmail or Microsoft 365 mailbox, up to 12 emails an hour and 200 a day each, adds hard bounces to its unsubscribe list, and says its sequences should not be used for "Cold or high volume sales outreach". Oxygen sells inboxes at $4 a month with warm-up, plus rotation, a bounce auto-pause and placement tests from $1 an inbox a month.

Does Attio automate LinkedIn, and what does a sender cost?

No. Attio has no LinkedIn steps; its lemlist app adds people to lemlist campaigns on your own lemlist account, and its blog says Attio's team runs LinkedIn touches through lemlist. Oxygen runs visits, invites, messages, InMail, likes and comments in the cloud at $34 a month per account, in the same sequence as email.

Can Attio send WhatsApp or SMS, or place calls, in a sequence?

No. Attio's sequences send email only. Its Aircall and RingCentral apps place calls from a person record, and apps such as Bird send SMS and WhatsApp on their own accounts. Oxygen adds WhatsApp steps at $34 a month per number inside a sequence; its calls are in beta and do not count here.

Can one Attio sequence mix channels, and where do replies land?

No. Attio's sequences, on Pro, send email only, and replies land on each person's record, as Attio has no inbox page. They stop on a reply or a booked meeting and fill AI variables per recipient. Oxygen mixes email, LinkedIn and WhatsApp, branches, tests up to 26 versions of a step and gathers replies in one inbox. See sequences.

CRM and integrations: Oxygen vs Attio

The Oxygen deals board with deals in Lead, In Progress, Won and Lost — Deals on the pipeline board, in the same workspace as the lists and the sequences.

Does Attio have a CRM, and how does Oxygen's compare?

Yes, Attio is a CRM, and this row is even. It gives People, Companies and a Deals object on every plan, custom objects from Pro, and emails and meetings on each record. Oxygen has companies, people, deals on a pipeline board, objects you define and every reply on the timeline, free on every plan.

How deep is Attio's CRM, and how does Oxygen's compare?

Yes, and it is Attio's strongest row. It syncs Gmail or Microsoft 365 email and calendars, reports with funnels and targets, and sets access by team and member from Pro. Kanban boards and iOS and Android apps come on every plan, call recording from Pro. Oxygen has dashboards and a deals board, with no calendar sync, record permissions or mobile app.

Workflows and AI: Oxygen vs Attio

Can Attio automate work outside a sequence?

Yes, and the row is close. Attio's workflows run on every plan with record, schedule and webhook triggers, custom agents and a run viewer that retries from the failed block, paid in workspace credits. We found no approval step in its block library. Oxygen's workflows add approval steps, with 77 workspace events as triggers.

What can AI do in Attio, and can coding agents drive it?

Most of it, and coding agents can drive it through MCP and the API. Attio has Ask Attio, AI attributes over records, a web agent that shows its sources, a hosted MCP server and a REST API. Its documented CLI builds and deploys apps, and we found no commands for CRM data, so that part does not count. Oxygen's CLI drives the workspace, which decides the row.

Oxygen costs less in all 3 setups below. Attio charges per seat, every member on the same plan, and sequences start on Pro at $99 a seat a month or $79 yearly; Plus has none. Oxygen is one plan per workspace from $49, paid in credits, with LinkedIn at $34 a month per account. See Oxygen pricing.

Oxygen vs Attio FAQ

Is Oxygen cheaper than Attio?

Yes, in the 3 setups on this page, on monthly billing. Attio charges per seat and puts sequences on Pro at $99 a seat a month, so one person costs $99 and 3 cost $297, before a LinkedIn tool. Oxygen costs $49 for one person on email and LinkedIn and $118.50 for 3.

Can Attio send cold email?

Attio advises against it. Its help lists "Cold or high volume sales outreach" among the uses its sequences "should not be used" for, and it sends through your own Gmail or Microsoft 365 mailbox, 200 a day at most. Oxygen runs cold email on inboxes at $4 a month with warm-up, rotation and placement tests from $1 an inbox a month.

Does Attio automate LinkedIn?

No. Attio's sequences send email only, and its own blog says its team runs outbound, LinkedIn touches included, through lemlist, which writes activity back into Attio. Its lemlist app adds people to lemlist campaigns on your own lemlist account. Oxygen runs LinkedIn steps in the cloud at $34 a month per account, in the same sequence as email.

Does Attio find email addresses and phone numbers?

Not by itself. Attio enriches a person from an email address and a company from a domain, and its help says enriched data cannot be exported. Its Hunter app finds emails on your own Hunter key and credits. Oxygen's waterfalls try 17 email and 13 phone providers on plan credits and charge only when one finds the value.

Can I use Oxygen and Attio together?

Yes. Keep Attio as your CRM and run sourcing, cold email and LinkedIn in Oxygen, which writes into Attio through a one-way sync. The sync runs from Oxygen to Attio only, so changes made in Attio do not flow back into Oxygen.

When is Attio the better choice?

When the CRM is what you need: email and calendar sync for the whole company, access by team, reports with targets, mobile apps, ISO 27001 and SSO, and email only to warm leads and customers. When you also need to find leads and reach them cold by email and LinkedIn, Oxygen leads.
