The main Outreach alternatives are Salesloft (now merged with Clari) and Gong Engage for enterprise teams, HubSpot Sales Hub for teams already on HubSpot, Apollo and Amplemarket for teams that want contact data and sequencing together, and Reply.io and Instantly for high-volume outreach on a published price. Outreach does not publish prices: it combines per-seat pricing with consumption-based AI credits, packaged as Amplify Essentials, Core, Plus and Pro.
This page compares those options fairly. It also covers one job none of them is built for, getting a warm introduction to a buyer, and where Boomerang fits alongside whichever engagement tool you choose. Boomerang is not an Outreach replacement.
What changed at Outreach in 2026?
Outreach's Spring 2026 release on 27 April introduced Outreach Omni, a conversational agent available in the app, Slack and mobile, plus Agent Studio for building custom agents, and the company moved its website to Outreach.ai. Its pricing now pairs seats with AI credits, from 10,000 credits on Amplify Essentials to 100,000 on Amplify Pro, with more credits available to buy. In October Outreach was named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Revenue Action Orchestration for the second year.
Why do teams look at Outreach alternatives?
Outreach covers sequencing, a dialer, conversation intelligence, deal management, forecasting and agents in one platform. Teams usually compare for one of four reasons. Pricing, since credits make cost depend on AI usage as well as headcount. Scope, when a smaller team mainly needs sequences and contact data. CRM fit, when the team runs on HubSpot and wants engagement in the same place. And consolidation, when the team already pays Gong or Salesloft for adjacent capabilities.
How do the alternatives compare?
| Tool | Best for | Starting price | What it does well | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Salesloft (with Clari) | Enterprise teams wanting engagement plus Clari Forecast | Quote based (talk to sales) | Cadence, conversation intelligence, deal management and forecasting | Integration of the two products is ongoing |
| Gong Engage | Teams already on Gong | Quote based (per user plus platform fee) | Sequences built on Gong's call and email data | Strongest value inside the Gong platform |
| HubSpot Sales Hub | SMB and mid-market teams on HubSpot | Professional from $90 per seat a month billed annually, plus a $1,500 one-time onboarding fee | CRM and sequences in one place | Sequences start at Professional |
| Apollo | SMB and mid-market outbound teams | Free plan; paid Basic, Professional and Custom tiers on apollo.io/pricing | Large contact database plus sequencing and a dialer | Lighter enterprise forecasting |
| Amplemarket | Startups and mid-market teams wanting data and AI outreach together | Startup from $600 a month on an annual term, 2 users included; Growth and Elite custom | Multichannel outreach with built-in data and AI | Lighter deal and forecasting features |
| Reply.io | Teams running high-volume multichannel outreach | Free plan; Reply Unlimited from $166 a month | Multichannel sequences with built-in data | Lighter deal and forecasting features |
| Instantly | Cold email at volume | Outreach Growth from $47 a month ($37.60 billed yearly) | Unlimited email accounts and warmup | Email first; not a full deal platform |
| Staying on Outreach | Teams using engagement, deals and forecasting together | Quote based (seats plus AI credits) | One platform from prospecting to forecast, with Omni and Agent Studio | Plan credit consumption before renewal |

Which Outreach alternative fits your team?
Enterprise team that wants one vendor for engagement, deals and forecasting: compare Salesloft with staying on Outreach, or Gong Engage if Gong is already your system for calls. Team that runs on HubSpot: Sales Hub Professional keeps CRM and sequences together. Smaller team that also needs contact data: Apollo or Amplemarket. High-volume outreach on a published price: Reply.io or Instantly.
What none of these do: warm paths
Every option above helps you send better outreach. None is designed to find who already knows your buyer and get the introduction made. That is a separate layer. Boomerang AI is a warm introduction platform. Its agent, Rudy, maps who already knows your buyers across four connector types (your team, investors and board, customers, and partners), scores each path on 80+ signals, drafts the ask for the person who should send it, and tracks it to the meeting. The relationship owner approves and sends every ask from their own account, and it works alongside Outreach, Salesloft or HubSpot rather than replacing them. For a side by side look, read our honest comparison of Boomerang and Outreach. Armis used Boomerang to find 26K+ warm paths into its top 5K accounts, with 10x ROI on revenue booked. Starter is $80 a month billed annually ($100 month to month), Team is $1,000 a month billed annually ($1,200 month to month), Company is $30,000 a year (annual only) and Enterprise is custom.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Outreach cost?
Outreach does not publish prices; its pricing page asks you to request a quote. Pricing combines per-seat access with consumption-based AI credits, and packages run from Amplify Essentials with 10,000 credits to Amplify Pro with 100,000. Additional credit packs can be bought. Ask for a quote scoped to your seats and expected AI usage.
What are the main Outreach alternatives?
The closest alternatives are Salesloft and Gong Engage for enterprise teams, HubSpot Sales Hub for teams on HubSpot, Apollo and Amplemarket for teams that want contact data with sequencing, and Reply.io and Instantly for high-volume outreach with published pricing. Staying on Outreach is reasonable if you use its deal and forecasting features.
Outreach vs Salesloft: which should I pick?
Both are enterprise sales engagement platforms with conversation intelligence and deal management. Salesloft now includes Clari Forecast after the December 2025 merger. Outreach sells seats plus AI credits and added Omni and Agent Studio in 2026. Compare forecasting needs, total cost and integration plans in a trial on your own data.
Should I switch from Outreach?
Not automatically. Switching engagement tools means migrating sequences, templates and reporting, and retraining reps. Use your renewal to compare total cost including credits, which features your team uses, and whether your CRM or call recording vendor already covers sequencing. A smaller team may get more from a simpler tool.
Is Boomerang an Outreach alternative?
No. Boomerang does not send sequences or dial. It finds warm paths into target accounts across your team, investors and board, customers and partners, drafts the ask for the right person to send and tracks it to a meeting. Teams run it alongside Outreach, Salesloft or HubSpot.
Can I use Boomerang with Outreach?
Yes. Use Outreach for sequences, deals and forecasting, and Boomerang to check for a warm path before an account goes into a cold sequence. When Rudy finds one, the right colleague, investor, customer or partner can make the introduction, and follow-up runs in Outreach.
