Salesloft alternatives

Reachkit makes a competing cold email tool, which overlaps with the prospecting part of Salesloft. Every price below was checked in October 2026 against each vendor’s own pages, and figures from purchase trackers such as Vendr name their source.

Salesloft is several products on one contract: Cadences for reps, call recording, Deals and, since the Clari merger, Clari Forecast. Which of those are you replacing?

• The whole platform, for a Salesforce sales org: Outreach.
• Email, LinkedIn and calls per rep, at a published price: Reply.io.
• Call minutes included in every seat: lemlist.
• Lead data, a CRM and a dialer for a small team on a budget: Saleshandy.
• Follow-up from each rep’s own Gmail: Mixmax.
• An AI SDR doing the first touch: Artisan.
• Cold email on separate domains, inboxes set up for you, one workspace price: Reachkit.
• High-volume cold email: Instantly.

If your managers run forecasts in Salesloft, Outreach is the option here built around that job: forecasting sits in its top package. The other seven replace the prospecting side.

You use most of Salesloft and want the same kind of platform: entry 1.

Outreach appears near the top of both Gartner’s and G2’s Salesloft alternatives pages. Reps work sequences of emails, calls and tasks from a daily list, dial through Outreach Voice and record meetings with Kaia, while managers run deals and, on Amplify Pro, forecasts in the same product.

Cost, October 2026: quote only. The pricing page shows four Amplify packages marked “Request pricing”, billed per seat plus AI credits, and credits past your order cost $1.40 each. Purchase tracker Vendr reported a median Outreach deal of $45,600 a year in February 2026, against $30,740 for Salesloft.

Strengths:

• Forecasting is part of Amplify Pro rather than an add-on, and Outreach publishes how many credits each AI action uses.
• Every package includes its MCP server, which lets Claude or ChatGPT enroll prospects in Outreach sequences. Salesloft’s needs a purchased Agent package.

Drawbacks:

• The contract will look familiar: orders are non-cancelable and non-refundable. Its standard terms renew it for another year unless you give notice at least 30 days ahead, and an order form can say otherwise.
• G2 users score it below Salesloft on ease of use (8.3 against 8.8) and setup (7.7 against 8.6), and each user gets 2 mailboxes unless the contract says more.

Versus Salesloft: a sideways move. Sending from rep mailboxes, the CRM-first design and the buying process stay the same, and Vendr’s median bill is higher. Switch for AI costs you can model or forecasting in the package. More: Outreach vs Salesloft, Outreach profile.

You want cadences with calls and LinkedIn, sold to a smaller team at a list price: entries 2 to 4.

Reply.io builds one sequence out of email, LinkedIn actions, calls, SMS and WhatsApp tasks, with an AI SDR called Jason sold separately. An October 6, 2026 update added a power dialer for its cloud calls.

Cost, October 2026: Multichannel is $99 per user monthly or $89 billed yearly. Each user gets a LinkedIn seat and calls and SMS. The plan lists 5 mailboxes on monthly billing and 10 on yearly, though Reply.io’s pages differ on whether that’s per user; more cost $29 a month each. Number rental, calls and SMS draw on a prepaid wallet. The 14-day trial asks for no payment commitment.

Strengths:

• Native two-way sync with Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive and Copper, which matters if Salesloft was your bridge to the CRM.
• A 4.6 on G2, where the pricing summary says many reviewers see it as good value next to Outreach and Salesloft.

Drawbacks:

• The plan includes 50 data credits a month and an email lookup costs 2, so plan on another data source.
• Calling usage is billed from the wallet on top of the seat, and the same G2 summary calls the price steep for very small teams.

Versus Salesloft: a seat price you can see and pay monthly, with LinkedIn steps and a dialer in the seat (call usage aside), for teams whose work is mostly prospecting. More: Reachkit vs Reply.io, Reply.io profile, Reply.io alternatives.

A lemlist sequence can branch between email, LinkedIn steps such as voice notes and InMail, phone calls and SMS; WhatsApp costs extra. A lead database and lemwarm warmup come with it, and lemlist pitches itself to founders and small to mid-size sales teams, from 1 to 200 seats.

Cost, October 2026: Multichannel Expert, the plan with these channels, costs $109 a seat each month, or $87 a month if you pay yearly. A seat includes five sending addresses, 400 credits and 400 minutes of calling every month, and each added sender costs $9. Enterprise is custom and annual only, with a 5-seat minimum and 800 call minutes per user. The 14-day trial needs no card but leaves out in-app calls.

Strengths:

• Calling minutes come with the seat. Salesloft sells its dialer as an add-on, and its “unlimited” dialer plans carry a fair-use line of 3,000 minutes per user a month.
• Native two-way Salesforce and HubSpot sync, with Pipedrive, Attio, Close and Zoho CRM also on the list.

Drawbacks:

• G2’s AI summary of reviews lists an expensive credit system and an interface that’s confusing at times; finding and verifying one email takes 5 credits.
• Paid plans run on a fixed term, which lemlist’s terms say is “generally set to 12 months”, and unused time isn’t refunded pro rata.

Versus Salesloft: a published price with calling bundled in, aimed at teams that spend the day prospecting rather than reviewing pipeline. More: Reachkit vs lemlist, lemlist profile, lemlist alternatives.

Saleshandy combines email sequences, call, LinkedIn and WhatsApp tasks, its own Lead Finder (852M+ contacts, it says), one inbox for replies and a CRM. A dialer, launched in April 2026, and bought mailboxes are paid add-ons.

Cost, October 2026: Starter is $41 monthly or $34 yearly for one user. Pro, at $99 monthly or $76 yearly, covers 10 users, 30,000 active prospects, 100,000 emails and 4,000 lead credits a month. The dialer starts at $29 a month ($23 yearly), mailboxes run $2.99 to $3.99 a month and domains $14 a year. A 7-day trial allows up to 100 sends.

Strengths:

• Saleshandy never bills per user, so ten reps share one Pro plan.
• Native Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive and Zoho sync on Pro, and lead credits charged one per verified email.

Drawbacks:

• Warmup runs in TrulyInbox, a separate app from the same owner.
• Mailboxes bought there can’t be switched or refunded, come without login credentials, and their domains transfer only once you cancel.

Versus Salesloft: at list price, ten reps on Pro cost $99 a month, less than a single Salesloft seat at the $125 to $165 trackers report. LinkedIn and WhatsApp steps are tasks a rep finishes by hand. More: Reachkit vs Saleshandy, Saleshandy profile, Instantly vs Saleshandy.

Your reps mostly send follow-ups from their own inbox: entry 5.

Mixmax is a Chrome extension that runs sequences inside Gmail, with an Outlook add-in for Outlook on the web and recent Windows versions. Each follow-up leaves from the rep’s own mailbox as a reply in the same thread and stops when the person answers. Tracking, scheduling links, AI meeting notes and logging to Salesforce or HubSpot come with it.

Cost, October 2026: each user is priced by how many people they sequence a month: $29 yearly or $34 monthly for 100, $89 or $105 for 1,500, up to $229 or $279 for 15,000. Each add-on adds $9 a month per paid member, billed yearly. The free plan covers 50 recipients a month, and the 14-day trial needs no card.

Strengths:

• Reps stay in Gmail, and Mixmax’s homepage cites G2 badges for setup and usability.
• Steps are per person, so an SDR on 1,500 and a manager on 100 pay different amounts in one workspace.

Drawbacks:

• One mailbox per user, and admins set its sequence cap anywhere from 100 to 1,000 emails a day; Mixmax’s own deliverability guide suggests 300 or less.
• No lead data, and calls placed from Mixmax go through a Dialer add-on at $9 a member a month plus per-minute rates Mixmax doesn’t publish.

Versus Salesloft: Mixmax describes itself as “a lightweight platform inside Gmail”, so expect the email half of a cadence at a visible price, not a revenue suite. More: Mixmax profile.

You want software to do the prospecting: entry 6.

Artisan’s product is Ava, marketed as an autonomous AI BDR: it builds the lead list, enriches it, writes and sends the emails, follows up, handles the replies and puts meetings on the calendar. It runs on its own by default, and you can require approval at any stage.

Cost, October 2026: on the self-serve Startups tab, Intern costs $280 a month, or $250 on yearly billing, and includes 10,000 credits, which Artisan says covers roughly 500 leads. Employee is $660, or $600 yearly, for 25,000 credits. Mailboxes and phone numbers are billed separately at rates Artisan doesn’t publish, and the Businesses tab is quote only. The trial gives 30 days and 10,000 credits, no card.

Strengths:

• You decide how Ava treats replies, with up to five conditions that qualify a lead, instructions for when to escalate to a person, meeting routing across reps and alerts in Slack.
• Human reps can still call through Artisan’s dialer, $67 a seat a month on yearly billing.

Drawbacks:

• On the self-serve plans, Salesforce sync starts at the Enterprise tier; HubSpot is included from Intern.
• Its Trustpilot score was 4.1 across 42 reviews in October 2026, and several of the critical reviews there report weak results, one citing a 0.07% positive response rate.

Versus Salesloft: Salesloft’s agents, such as Ask Salesloft and its research agents, help a rep prepare and decide. Ava does the outreach itself. More: Reachkit vs Artisan, Artisan profile.

You used Salesloft to send cold email at volume: entries 7 and 8.

This is our product. Reachkit sends email only, and it takes on the part Salesloft leaves to you: the domains and inboxes cold email should go out from. You describe a campaign in one sentence, and the AI writes the emails and shows how big the matching audience is in its Lead Finder of 500M+ profiles. If you order inboxes, Reachkit registers fresh lookalike domains for you, sets their SPF, DKIM and DMARC records, then opens Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 mailboxes that start AI-written warmup by themselves. By default each inbox sends up to 20 campaign emails a day, starting at 3 and adding 3 a day.

Cost, October 2026: Growth is $39 a month or $29 billed yearly for the whole workspace, with 5,000 stored contacts, 15,000 emails and 1,000 lead credits a month. Scale, $99 or $79 yearly at its first tier, brings the built-in CRM, API access, webhooks and HubSpot, Zoho, Odoo or GoHighLevel sync. Each inbox Reachkit sets up is $5 a month and each domain $15 a year, while inboxes you bring carry no per-inbox charge. Try it free for 30 days without a card, and cancel anytime after.

Strengths:

• Teammates are unlimited and free on every plan, so adding reps doesn’t move the bill.
• Replies from every inbox land in one Unibox under 12 AI labels, and a lead credit buys one verified lead, refunded when no email verifies.

Drawbacks:

• No dialer, LinkedIn steps, call recording or forecasting, and no Salesforce or Dynamics sync. The AI labels replies; it doesn’t answer them.
• New inboxes need at least 3 weeks of warmup. Growth stores 5,000 contacts, so adding 1,500 new leads a month fills it in about four months unless you delete finished ones.

Versus Salesloft: you can keep reps’ follow-up in Salesloft and move first-touch volume to separate domains here. A whole Growth workspace, every teammate included, costs less than one Salesloft seat at the $125 to $165 a month trackers report, though Salesloft does far more for each rep. More: Reachkit pricing, Reachkit vs HubSpot.

Instantly started as a cold email sender and still centers on it: connected sending accounts carry no per-account fee, warmup runs through a peer network Instantly sizes at more than 1,000,000 accounts, and replies collect in a Unibox. Its SuperSearch lead database and AI agents run on a separate credits subscription, and a CRM with calling and SMS is an add-on.

Cost, October 2026: the $47 Growth plan ($37.60 a month on yearly billing) sends 5,000 emails a month and lets you upload 1,000 contacts in total; that count doesn’t reset. At $97 ($77.60 yearly), Hypergrowth raises that to 25,000 contacts and 100,000 to 125,000 emails a month (Instantly’s pricing page lists both). Instantly also sells Google inboxes at $5 a month, with domains at $15 a year. Its trial lasts 14 days and asks for no card.

Strengths:

• High sending volume at $97. Email accounts are unlimited on the pricing page; the terms cap a workspace at 100.
• API access starts on the $47 plan, and Instantly’s official MCP server covers the full API.

Drawbacks:

• On the $47 plan you can’t invite teammates (that takes Hypergrowth or a CRM plan), reply inside the Unibox or use webhooks.
• Salesforce connects only through a third-party tool, OutboundSync, over webhooks, and domains bought from Instantly stay Instantly’s.

Versus Salesloft: priced for volume rather than per rep. A Salesloft team moving over would put first-touch email here and keep calls in another tool or Instantly’s CRM add-on. More: Reachkit vs Instantly, Instantly profile, Instantly alternatives.

Look at what your team actually did in Salesloft last quarter, then price only that.

• Calls, deals and forecasts for a Salesforce org: Outreach, or a renegotiated Salesloft renewal. Both mean an annual contract.
• Sequences with calls and LinkedIn for a smaller team: lemlist if reps call a lot, Reply.io for a lower seat price and the option of its Jason AI SDR, Saleshandy if budget comes first.
• Mostly email follow-up from reps’ inboxes: Mixmax.
• Fewer SDR hours on first touch: Artisan, once you know what its mailboxes cost.
• Cold email to new prospects at volume: Reachkit or Instantly, next to Salesloft or instead of it.

Before you leave, find the renewal notice date in your order form, since the contract itself sets none and committed fees can’t be cancelled unless the order form says so. Your data stays exportable for 90 days once the term is over. Reps’ mailboxes reconnect with their sending history, CRM records stay put, and cadences need rebuilding and testing.

I’d only move from Salesloft to Outreach if something specific pulls you there, like AI costs you can price before signing or forecasting in the package. Otherwise it’s a big migration into the same model. The larger savings go to smaller teams paying per seat for a revenue suite they use as a sequencer: lemlist, Reply.io and Saleshandy publish their prices and offer monthly billing.

If reps have been sending cold email to strangers from their main-domain mailboxes, I’d move that first, whatever else you decide. That’s the job I built Reachkit for. Related: Outreach vs Salesloft, the Salesloft profile and Reply.io alternatives.
