Why teams pick Engage over Outreach.
The handful of things that genuinely matter — based on what customers say after the switch.
Salesforce is the system of record, not a sync target
Engage is a managed package in your own org. Campaigns, members, emails, opens and replies are Salesforce records on your Contacts and Leads, so there's no second database to keep in step and you report on outreach like anything else.
A fraction of the per-seat cost
Engage Starter is £49 per seat a month and Pro, with AI search, AI-written sequences, Opportunities and Automations, is £79. Outreach's typical starting commit is $130+ per user per month, often with add-on charges for AI and analytics.
No seat minimum, no enterprise commit
Outreach typically requires seat minimums and an annual commit. Engage has no seat minimum, monthly billing and no setup fee. Start small and add seats as you grow.
Built for Leads as well as Contacts
Switch on Leads and Engage finds Leads from a plain-English search, writes a personal opening line for each one from their title, company, industry and lead source, and lists new and quiet Leads on its Opportunities tab (Pro).
When Outreach is the right call.
Honesty isn't a tactic. If one of these is core to your team, Outreach is the more complete tool today — and we'd rather you know that before you try it.
Multi-channel sequences (call + email + SMS + LinkedIn)
Outreach has built-in dialer steps, SMS and LinkedIn task automation inside the same sequence. Engage is email-first, so teams usually pair it with the dialer they already use.
Manager coaching depth
Outreach ships extensive coaching analytics, deal forecasting and call analysis. Teams with a dedicated sales-ops function may find that breadth useful.
Established G2 / Gartner footprint
Outreach has a longer track record, hundreds of integrations and a Gartner Magic Quadrant position. For procurement teams that score heavily on analyst recognition, that's part of the calculus.
Questions buyers ask.
The things teams switching from Outreach ask us most often.
01Can Engage handle the volume Outreach does?
Engage sends from each rep's own mailbox at a human pace, with daily limits you control. That suits personal, one-to-one outreach rather than bulk blasts, and it uses your own domain's reputation instead of a shared sending pool.
02Does Engage have a dialer like Outreach?
No. Engage is email-first. Most teams pair it with the dialer they already use rather than consolidate everything into one tool.
03Can I migrate my Outreach sequences into Engage?
There's no automated migrator, but sequence structures map across cleanly. We'll help you rebuild your most important sequences on the onboarding call.
04What about deliverability: does sending from Gmail or Outlook hurt me?
Usually the opposite. Sending from each rep's own mailbox uses their existing domain reputation rather than a shared marketing IP, and the emails read like the one-to-one messages they are.
05Does Engage work on Leads?
Yes. Switch on Lead campaigns in Overdrive Setup and each campaign can target Leads or Contacts, on both plans. On Pro, AI search, personal opening lines, Automations and the Opportunities tab work on Leads too.
