Kodlo Review (2026): Pricing, Features & Honest Verdict

TLDR

Kodlo is an AI sales workspace whose agent interviews you for an ideal customer profile, finds matching prospects with cited sources, drafts first-touch messages and keeps the CRM in the same database. Good, but every plan’s usage quota is unpublished. Best for: solo reps and small teams selling high-ticket B2B. Price: from $49/mo plus VAT, free plan no. Rating: 7/10.

What is Kodlo?

We spotted Kodlo on Product Hunt, where it launched on 11 October 2026 with the tagline End-to-end sales workspace with unified context. The vendor styles the name kodlo with a macron on the o; we write it Kodlo, as its own pricing page title does. The idea is one database for the whole cycle: an agent interviews you to build an ideal customer profile, searches the public web for companies and people that match it, writes a cited research report on each, drafts the first message and updates the CRM record.

Kodlo is operated by Reinode Software sp. z o.o., a Polish limited company registered in Warsaw, under Polish law. Reinode’s own site describes itself as an AI product studio that builds agents and SaaS for clients; we mention the studio once and do not review it. The product is sold to organisations and to individual professionals such as freelancers, and the terms say it is not for consumers. The Product Hunt listing says the trial carries full features and mentions a launch discount, which we will not repeat.

What Are Kodlo’s Key Features?

ICP interview and Discovery

The agent builds your ideal customer profile by asking what you sell, who already buys it and what a bad fit looks like, then writes the profile into the campaign document. Discovery searches the open web against that profile and returns candidates, each with a buyer-fit proof line: a funding round, a job ad, a line on their site. Nothing enters the workspace until you review the list and confirm the import. The limits are specific: 25 candidates per run, one run per user at a time. A research assistant’s pace, not a list vendor’s.

Deep search with cited reports

Ask about a company, a market, a person or a topic and the agent fans out several research passes, cross-checks them and writes a report with numbered citations into the Generate section, readable while it is still being written. Web fetches per run are limited, and if the budget runs out you get a shorter report with a Limitations section rather than nothing. Fetched pages are treated as data, never as instructions, the right defence against prompt injection hidden on a prospect’s site. Public web only: no paywalled or logged-in sources.

Knowledge Hub with OCR

Upload price lists, one-pagers, case studies and contracts (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, CSV, TXT, MD and PPTX, 25 MB per file, up to 100 projects) and the agent treats them as fact. Scanned PDFs go through an OCR pipeline run by Mistral in France. The source list under an answer is assembled from the passages actually retrieved, so the model cannot cite a document it did not read. Starter reads up to 1,000 pages a month and Pro 10,000. A private project stays private even from workspace owners and admins.

Scheduled jobs, Telegram and Google Chat

A request can outlive the conversation that started it. “Each Monday, check these accounts for news and open a ticket if anything moved” becomes a job the agent prepares and a human confirms; a job cannot arm itself. Long lists are stored by the system and fed one item at a time, so a 5,000-line list resumes after an interruption, and the vendor says a 500-item job takes days by design. The Telegram and Google Chat connections run the same agent with the same confirmation gate, per person, with no voice notes.

What Is It Like to Use Kodlo?

We did not install Kodlo; this is the workflow as the vendor’s features page and llms.txt describe it. The workspace is a two-pane screen: the agent on the left, your records on the right in six sections (Contacts, Tickets, Campaigns, Knowledge, Generate and Deck). The agent reads whatever record you have open, so “draft something for this one” needs no further context, and its writes land in the database you are browsing rather than in a sandbox that syncs back. Beneath the composer sit a tone picker, attachments, a microphone and a language selector.

Messaging is where the honesty shows. Every draft passes a voice check that flags filler, em dashes, emoji, exclamation marks and the contrastive not-this-but-that construction, and the model gets no sample messages so two prospects never receive the same note. The one-tap hand-off is LinkedIn only today, with connection notes held to the platform’s 300-character limit; email and other channels are described as next. Kodlo never sends anything, so there is no automation risk to your LinkedIn account. A contact set to do not contact is refused outright, and the agent cannot change that status.

Deck is labelled Beta: it reads colours and type off your existing PowerPoint file or website, builds a layout family from them, fills slides from a story you give it and exports to PowerPoint or PDF with up to 12 generated images per deck. Pro adds a long-term memory of past conversations and documents, built nightly with a 90-day initial look-back, and each person can pause or delete their own profile. Tickets carry status, priority, assignee and comments; there is no due-date reminder engine and no sync with an external tracker.

Where Does Kodlo Fall Short?

The biggest gap is the usage unit. Every plan sits on what the terms call a unified usage quota covering AI chat, web search and notetaker minutes, resetting every 30 days, with generation tightening at 100% and chat pausing at 105%. The number itself appears nowhere on the site, in the markdown pricing file or in the terms, so “4X Month Limits” on Pro is four times an unpublished figure. Unused allowance does not carry over.

Its trial contradicts itself. The pricing FAQ says the 7-day trial is full features with nothing locked; the terms say trial workspaces may have reduced quotas relative to paid plans. The pricing cards also show a Free $0 for 7 days column beside a FAQ answer that says there is no free-forever plan, and the Starter card lists “Everything in Free Package for 1 month”, which reads as a copy error on a monthly plan.

Product Hunt visitors were promised an MCP connection so desktop AI assistants and coding agents can use Kodlo’s context. We grepped the marketing site, the features page, the llms.txt file, the terms and the privacy policy and saw no mention of MCP at all, and there is no public documentation site (kodlo.ai/docs returns a 404). Treat that connection as unverified until the vendor documents it.

EU-hosted is true of the application, the database and the stores that hold Knowledge Hub and memory data, which run on an ISO 27001 host in Germany and Finland. But the privacy policy’s subprocessor table shows the default reasoning model is Gemini on US infrastructure, web search goes to a US provider, and file storage is Google Cloud Storage in the US. The no-training promise rests on those providers’ paid-API terms, which is normal, but the label undersells how much of each request leaves the EU.

GDPR-clean sourcing on a documented legitimate-interest basis is a claim, not a certificate. The agent’s web-search provider discovers public person profiles with work and education history by default, the privacy policy names you as the data controller responsible for that lawful basis and for Article 14 notices, and the terms forbid collecting LinkedIn data against that platform’s terms. The vendor hands you the record and the liability together.

Smaller irritations: the terms and privacy policy describe a meeting notetaker (recorded and transcribed by a US provider in Frankfurt, counted against your quota by the minute) that the pricing and features pages never mention; every page carries a “v.2026 ed. spring” label although the terms were updated on 25.09.2026 and the newest blog article is dated 05.10.2026; Deck is a beta; and there are no customer testimonials or named logos anywhere on the site, which is a gap for a sales tool.

How Much Does Kodlo Cost?

Kodlo starts at $49 per month plus VAT for Starter: one seat, every feature, 1,000 OCR pages a month. Quarterly billing takes 15% off, to $43 a month charged every three months. Pro is $199 a month plus VAT ($169 quarterly) for up to three seats, four times the monthly limits, long-term memory, agent learning and 10,000 OCR pages. Custom adds SSO, SLA, DPA, custom agents and optional bring-your-own-key, priced by conversation with no self-checkout.

The arithmetic: Pro costs 4.06 times Starter and gives four times the allowance plus two extra seats, so a two-person team paying $98 for two Starters gets half the allowance of one Pro with no shared memory. Per seat, Pro at full occupancy is $66 a month, more than Starter’s $49, so the upgrade buys allowance and memory, not cheaper seats.

Against the market Kodlo is mid-priced and a different shape. The contact-database incumbent charges $49 per seat per month on an annual plan for its entry tier and keeps a free tier; the enrichment-spreadsheet favourite starts at $167 a month on an annual plan with a usable free plan; the multichannel sequencer charges $69 a month for unlimited users on email and $109 per user for LinkedIn automation. None of the three publishes a cited research agent, and none hides its usage unit the way Kodlo does.

Billing runs through a merchant-of-record payment processor, so VAT is added at checkout. The refund policy says transactions are non-refundable unless the law requires otherwise; the processor may refund within 14 days at its discretion. A new workspace may start a trial without payment details (access pauses at the end) or with a card that converts automatically. Price changes need 30 days’ notice. Disputes go to Polish courts.

Who is Kodlo Best For?

Use Kodlo if you sell high-ticket B2B deals where each account deserves an hour of reading before the first message, you want that reading cited, and you are one to three people who would rather pay a flat $49 to $199 than assemble a database, an enrichment tool and a sequencer. EU buyers who need a DPA, a named Polish entity and no model training on their data will find the paperwork unusually complete.

Skip Kodlo if you run volume outbound. 25 candidates per Discovery run and draft-only sending will frustrate anyone used to thousands of enrichments a month, and the missing email hand-off means every message is still copied into another tool. Skip it too if you need the usage limit in writing before you buy, or if the MCP connection is the reason you came.

Best Kodlo Alternatives

Apollo.io

The contact database, with 240 million contacts by its own count, email campaigns and a dialer. Free plan with 900 credits a year; Basic $49 per seat per month, Professional $79, Organization $119 with a three-seat minimum, all on annual plans, which the page shows as 24% cheaper than monthly. Choose it for volume and data; it does not write cited account reports.

Clay

An enrichment workbench: tables, 150-plus data providers, waterfalls and its own research agent. Free plan with 100 data credits and 500 actions a month; Launch from $167 a month on an annual plan ($185 monthly); Growth from $446 a month on an annual plan ($495 monthly). Far more flexible, far more to build yourself, and credits rather than a flat seat price.

lemlist

A multichannel sequencer: Email plan $69 a month ($55 yearly) with unlimited users and 50,000 emails a month; Multichannel $109 per user a month ($87 yearly) adds LinkedIn automation, SMS and a dialer; 14-day trial, no free plan. It automates the sending Kodlo refuses to do, with the account risk that implies.

Final Verdict: Is Kodlo Worth It?

Kodlo is a thoughtful product. The sourcing discipline (a proof line per candidate, a citation per claim, pages treated as data, human confirmation on every job), the per-person memory controls and the privacy policy’s candour about which provider sees what are better than most of the AI sales tools we read. For a solo rep or a three-person desk selling expensive software or services, $49 to $199 a month plus VAT buys a research assistant that doubles as the CRM.

We would still want two things before committing to a quarter: a published number behind the quota, and documentation of the MCP connection the launch promised. Until then, take the 7-day trial, run Discovery on your real ICP, and judge the 25 candidates it returns. 7 out of 10.
