Pricing

Neither tool publishes prices. Outreach sells custom annual contracts that typically land around $100+/seat/mo at scale, reflecting its full execution suite. Salesloft also runs on custom annual pricing through tiered Advanced and Premier packages, with premium features gated to the higher tiers. Both are real budget commitments, and smaller teams will find either heavier than a standalone sequencer; a tool like lemlist is a far cheaper starting point for SMB outbound.

Verdict: A wash on model. Both are premium annual purchases; price the specific packages you need rather than the headline number.

Features

Outreach is the enterprise execution platform, with best-in-class sequencing, admin controls, bundled conversation intelligence, deal management, and forecasting. Salesloft is its closest rival and covers the same ground, with cadences, a dialer, built-in Conversations call recording and analytics, and deal management. Outreach tends to win on raw depth and reporting maturity; Salesloft matches the core feature set with a lighter-feeling build.

Verdict: Outreach for the deepest execution and forecasting; Salesloft for the same essentials with less weight.

Integrations

Both plug into the enterprise stack. Outreach has around 100 integrations including Salesforce, HubSpot, ZoomInfo, LinkedIn, and Gong. Salesloft offers roughly 90, including Salesforce, HubSpot, LinkedIn, ZoomInfo, and Drift, with particularly strong Salesforce sync. The catalogs overlap heavily, so the deciding factor is usually how clean the sync is with your specific CRM and data provider.

Verdict: Near tie. Outreach for slightly broader breadth; Salesloft for tight, dependable Salesforce sync.

Ease of use

This is where they diverge most. Salesloft is widely seen as the more intuitive of the two, with a cadence builder reps adopt quickly and lower day-to-day friction. Outreach is more powerful but heavier, with more setup and admin burden, which pays off for large teams that want control but slows smaller ones down.

Verdict: Salesloft for faster rep adoption; Outreach for teams that want maximum control and will invest in setup.
