The answer: the best Salesloft alternatives in 2026 are Outreach (the other enterprise platform, median contract $45,600 a year), Apollo (data and sequences from $49 per seat), Reply.io (multichannel from $49 per user), HeyReach (LinkedIn outreach at $79 per sender) and Valley (signal-based prospecting and messaging from $149 per seat). Stay with Salesloft if you already have the seat count for its minimums and use its deal and coaching features.
TL;DR: the enterprise swap: Outreach. No seat minimum and data included: Apollo. Cheapest multichannel: Reply.io. LinkedIn-heavy teams and agencies: HeyReach. Fewer, better-targeted conversations: Valley.
Disclosure: Valley makes one of the tools on this page. We have marked our entry clearly and included tools that beat us for specific jobs. Prices were read from each vendor's pricing page, or from Vendr where the vendor publishes none, on October 6, 2026. We have not run hands-on tests of every tool here.

How we picked
The usual reasons teams leave Salesloft are the seat minimum and the add-on bill, so we chose tools with published per-seat prices and no minimum, plus Outreach for teams that want the same category. Salesloft publishes no prices; Vendr reports about $75 to $100 per user a month on annual billing, minimums of roughly 10 to 15 seats, and a median contract of $30,740 a year across 708 purchases.
Tool | Starting price | Seat minimum | Channels | Trial |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Salesloft | about $75 to $100 per user/mo (Vendr) | roughly 10 to 15 | Email, phone, LinkedIn steps | demo |
Outreach | median $45,600/yr (Vendr) | contract minimums apply | Email, phone, LinkedIn steps | demo |
Apollo | $49 per seat/mo, annual | none on Basic and Professional | Email, phone | 14 days |
Reply.io | $49 per user/mo, annual | none | Email; LinkedIn, calls, SMS on Multichannel | 14 days |
HeyReach | $79 per sender/mo | none | 14 days | |
Valley | $149 per seat/mo, quarterly | none | LinkedIn; email on Plus | 7 days |
1. Outreach - the enterprise swap
The other large sales engagement platform, with sequencing, conversation intelligence and forecasting.
What works well: equal or greater depth for large teams.
What doesn't: it costs more on Vendr's medians, and modules such as Kaia and Commit are priced separately.
Pricing: not published. Vendr's median is $45,600 a year across 917 purchases.
Verdict: pick it only if Salesloft is missing something specific you need. See Outreach alternatives for the reverse view.
2. Apollo - no minimum, data included
A contact database with sequencing, a dialer and deal tools built in.
What works well: you can start with one seat, and the contact database comes with it.
What doesn't: credits are pooled and expire each billing cycle; a phone number costs 8 credits.
Pricing: $49 per seat a month on annual billing (Basic), $79 (Professional), $119 (Organization, 3-seat minimum). Full breakdown.
Verdict: pick it if you are under ten sellers and were paying Salesloft's minimum for empty seats.
3. Reply.io - the cheapest multichannel
A multichannel sequencer covering email, LinkedIn, calls, SMS and WhatsApp steps.
What works well: a 14-day trial, published prices, and every channel in one seat on the Multichannel plan.
What doesn't: reporting and deal features are lighter than Salesloft's.
Pricing: Email Volume from $49 per user a month, Multichannel from $89, both billed annually. Full breakdown.
Verdict: pick it if cadences across channels are all you used.
4. HeyReach - for LinkedIn-heavy teams
LinkedIn outreach built around running many sender accounts from one inbox.
What works well: per-sender pricing with an Agency plan at $999 a month for 25 senders.
What doesn't: it is LinkedIn only, and personalization is template-based.
Pricing: $79 per sender a month. Full breakdown.
Verdict: pick it if LinkedIn is where your replies come from.
5. Valley (our product) - fewer, better conversations
An AI outbound platform that finds people from live buying signals, qualifies them against your ICP, researches each one and drafts a personalized message for LinkedIn and email.
What works well: it chooses who to contact as well as what to say, and a person reviews and approves before anything sends.
What doesn't: it is not a dialer or a forecasting tool, and it is not built for high-volume cold email.
Pricing: from $149 per seat a month billed quarterly ($199 monthly) for LinkedIn; Plus, with email, is $249 billed quarterly. Valley pricing.
Verdict: pick it if you want the tool to decide who is worth contacting. Head-to-head: Valley vs. Salesloft.
Salesloft is the right tool when you have a real sales floor: enough seats to clear the minimum, managers who use the coaching and deal views, and a revenue operations person who keeps it tidy. For that team the per-seat alternatives will feel thin. If the renewal is the issue, Vendr reports that multi-year agreements of 2 to 3 years typically bring 15-30% lower annual pricing, and that buyers save 18% on average.
