Why teams pick Engage over Salesloft.
The handful of things that genuinely matter — based on what customers say after the switch.
Inside Salesforce, not an integration
Salesloft syncs activity into Salesforce over its own API. Engage is a managed package in your org, so campaigns, emails, opens and replies are Salesforce records on your Contacts and Leads from the start.
A fraction of the per-seat cost
Engage Starter is £49 per seat a month and Pro is £79. Salesloft Essentials is typically $125+ per user, with AI and conversation intelligence in higher tiers.
Lower commitment threshold
Engage bills monthly with no seat minimum. Salesloft's standard motion is an annual commit with seat minimums. Easier to start small and grow into it.
GBP pricing for UK teams
Direct GBP billing through Stripe with VAT calculated at checkout. No currency swings and no separate billing entity.
When Salesloft is the right call.
Honesty isn't a tactic. If one of these is core to your team, Salesloft is the more complete tool today — and we'd rather you know that before you try it.
Multi-channel sequences (dialer + SMS + LinkedIn)
Salesloft ships a built-in dialer with call recording and conversation intelligence. Engage is email-first, so teams usually pair it with the dialer they already use.
Conversation intelligence
Salesloft records, transcribes and scores sales calls. Many teams use a dedicated tool for this alongside their sequencing tool.
Maturity and analyst recognition
Salesloft has been around since 2011, has hundreds of integrations and ranks highly with analysts. For procurement processes that weigh analyst position heavily, that's part of the picture.
Questions buyers ask.
The things teams switching from Salesloft ask us most often.
01Why pick Engage over Salesloft?
Three common reasons: you live in Salesforce and want outreach to be part of the CRM, not a separate platform; you mostly run email sequences and don't want to pay for dialer, SMS or LinkedIn features you won't use; and the price gap frees up real budget.
02Can Engage do call steps like Salesloft's dialer?
No. Engage is email-first, and most teams pair it with the dialer they already use.
03Does Engage have anything like conversation intelligence?
No. Teams that need call recording and transcription usually run a dedicated tool alongside Engage.
04How long does an Engage rollout take?
Most teams send their first campaign the same afternoon. Every subscription includes an onboarding call where we install Engage with you, connect mailboxes and build your first campaign.
