9 Best Salesloft Alternatives in 2026
Salesloft spent a decade as the default answer to “what do we run our cadences on.” Two things changed that. First, Clari and Salesloft completed their merger on December 3, 2025, which put Salesloft inside a company that already owned Groove — a second sales engagement product it acquired in 2023 and still hadn’t fully absorbed. Second, Salesloft still doesn’t publish a price. Every number you find online is somebody’s reported quote.
Neither is automatically a reason to leave. But if you’re renewing into a multi-year commitment with a combined company that hasn’t published a unified roadmap, it’s a reasonable moment to look at what else exists. Here are nine alternatives, with published pricing wherever the vendor actually publishes it.
1. Outreach
The most direct swap. Outreach does the same core job — multi-step sequences, dialer, email, task queues, CRM sync — at similar enterprise scale, and it’s the platform most Salesloft migrations land on because the mental model transfers almost one-for-one.
Worth knowing before you assume it’s the safe harbor: Outreach moved to outreach.ai and rebuilt its packaging into three quote-only Amplify plans (Core, Plus, Pro), each metered with a pool of AI credits — 25,000, 50,000, and 100,000 respectively, with more available for purchase. So you’re trading one quote-only enterprise contract for another, plus a consumption layer on top of seats.
Best for: Large outbound teams that need Salesloft’s exact feature depth and have the budget for it.
Pricing: Quote-only, annual contracts
2. Apollo.io
The value play, and the one that most often surprises teams downgrading from an enterprise suite. Apollo bundles a 210M+ contact database with sequencing, dialer, and meeting booking — so it replaces both your engagement platform and (often) your data vendor.
Pricing is published, which by itself puts it in a different category than Salesloft: Free, Basic at $49/seat/month, Professional at $79/seat/month, and Organization at $119/seat/month (3-seat minimum), all billed annually. Meeting events are capped by tier — 3 on Basic, 6 on Professional, unlimited on Organization.
Best for: SDR-heavy teams that want prospecting data and engagement in one bill.
Pricing: Free; paid from $49/seat/month annually
3. HubSpot Sales Hub
If your CRM is already HubSpot, this removes the sync layer entirely — sequences, calling, meeting links, and deals live in the same object model, which kills the category of bug where the engagement platform and the CRM disagree about what happened.
Starter runs $20/seat/month. Professional is $90/seat/month billed annually, but note the required one-time $1,500 onboarding fee, and $3,500 at Enterprise. Sequences and meeting links start at Starter; Starter caps you at one personal meetings link with HubSpot branding.
Best for: HubSpot-native teams who’d rather consolidate than integrate.
Pricing: From $20/seat/month; Pro $90/seat/month + $1,500 onboarding
4. Klenty
A genuine mid-market sales engagement platform with published pricing, which is rare in this category. Multichannel cadences, a built-in dialer, and account-based sequencing without the enterprise implementation cycle.
Starter is $50/month (not per user), Growth is $70/user/month with 200 calling minutes, and Plus is $99/user/month with 1,000 minutes and call coaching. A parallel/power dialer add-on is $45/user/month.
Best for: Teams of 5–50 who want Salesloft’s shape without the quote process.
Pricing: From $50/month; per-seat plans from $70/user/month annually
5. Carly
Not a cadence engine, and worth being clear about that: if you need sequence branching, dialer analytics, and rep coaching, Carly doesn’t replace Salesloft. Where it does compete is the part of Salesloft most teams actually touch daily — booking the meeting and doing the follow-up work around it.
You point prospects at an email address instead of a form or a booking widget. Carly reads the thread, checks availability, negotiates the time in plain language, and books it. Free booking pages and group availability polls come with it. Then the recurring work runs on triggers: when a prospect replies, draft the response and book; when a call is logged with a positive outcome, send the follow-up and update the CRM record. It sends through Gmail and Outlook rather than leaving drafts sitting in a window.
Carly reaches Salesloft through your own Salesloft API key — paste it on the integrations page — alongside 200+ native integrations including Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack, and Zoom. Setup is an interview in plain English, not a JSON editor.
The pricing shape is the real difference against a per-seat enterprise contract: free, unlimited Zapier-style workflows, with AI agents from $35/month.
Best for: Founder-led and small sales teams whose bottleneck is booking and follow-up, not sequence volume.
Pricing: Free workflows; AI agents from $35/month
6. Groove
The awkward one. Groove is the lighter, Salesforce-native engagement product — activity capture, email tracking, meeting scheduling, simpler sequences — and it’s a real fit for AE and field-sales teams who find Salesloft heavier than the job requires.
The caveat is that switching from Salesloft to Groove doesn’t change vendors: Clari owns both, and as of mid-2026 the two engagement products still run as separate interfaces with no published unified roadmap. If your reason for leaving is merger uncertainty, this doesn’t solve it.
Best for: Salesforce-first AE teams that want less platform, and aren’t worried about the shared parent.
Pricing: Quote-only
7. Reply.io
Multichannel outbound — email, LinkedIn, calls, SMS, WhatsApp — with a built-in meeting scheduler, and an unusual pricing wrinkle: the Email Volume plan is $159/month for unlimited users (billed annually, 10,000 active contacts), which inverts the per-seat math if you have a lot of reps sending modest volume. The Multichannel plan is $89/user/month annually.
Best for: Teams where seat count is the thing making enterprise pricing hurt.
Pricing: From $159/month unlimited users, or $89/user/month annually
8. lemlist
Strongest on cold outbound and deliverability specifically — warm-up, inbox rotation, and multichannel sequences across email, LinkedIn, calls, and WhatsApp, on top of a 650M+ lead database. Less of a full revenue platform, more of a focused outbound machine.
The Email plan is $55/month billed yearly ($69 monthly) with unlimited users; Multichannel is $87/user/month yearly ($109 monthly).
Best for: Outbound-led teams whose main problem is landing in the inbox.
Pricing: From $55/month yearly, unlimited users
9. Revenue.io
The Salesforce-native option for teams that want engagement, dialer, and real-time rep coaching running inside the CRM rather than beside it. Real-time call guidance is its distinguishing feature — the thing Salesloft’s Conversations does, but delivered live during the call.
Best for: Salesforce-committed orgs that care most about call execution and coaching.
Pricing: Quote-only

When Staying On Salesloft Is The Right Call
Salesloft is still a top-tier sales engagement platform, and the merger hasn’t taken anything away from the product. Stay if you have a large team running genuinely complex multi-touch cadences, RevOps headcount to administer it, deep Salesforce customization already wired in, and Conversations data your managers actually coach on. Ripping that out is a two-quarter project, and the replacement has to be clearly better, not just cheaper.
Leave when the calculus is one of these:
- You’re paying enterprise per-seat rates for what is functionally email sequencing (Apollo, Klenty, lemlist)
- Your CRM is HubSpot and the sync is where your data goes wrong (HubSpot Sales Hub)
- Seat count, not feature depth, is what’s expensive (Reply.io)
- You want a price you can see before a sales call (Apollo, Klenty, Reply.io, lemlist)
- The bottleneck is booking and following up, not sending more sequence steps (Carly)
One thing to check before you migrate either way: pull your own numbers on how many booked meetings actually came from cadence step 4 and beyond. For a lot of teams the answer makes the whole tier decision easier.

See what people say
"Before Carly, I relied on a Calendly link, but the whole process felt impersonal and not very professional. Carly changed that by handling all the back-and-forth, so I'm no longer stuck in endless email threads trying to line up schedules.
Now Carly reaches out to candidates, shares my real-time availability, lets them pick a slot, then sends a Zoom link and drops it straight into my calendar. She sends reminders to both of us before each call, which has significantly reduced no-shows and last-minute confusion.
On top of scheduling, Carly acts like a full executive assistant, sending me my schedule the night before so I can prepare for each call. It reminds me of the old x.ai assistant, but Carly is noticeably smarter, faster, and better suited to my healthcare recruitment business."
