Draup is an enterprise AI platform that combines talent intelligence and sales intelligence into a single platform. Originally focused on workforce planning and skills taxonomy, Draup has expanded into account intelligence with capabilities around org chart mapping, stakeholder analysis, and deal intelligence.
Draup's strength is its labor market analytics and skills mapping infrastructure. The platform provides detailed workforce composition data, skills adjacency analysis, and talent supply-demand intelligence that helps large enterprises make strategic workforce decisions. On the sales side, Draup offers AI-generated account dossiers, stakeholder influence mapping, and engagement recommendations.
Draup is positioned as an enterprise-grade solution with custom implementation, dedicated customer success, and integration with major CRM and HR platforms. The platform requires a structured onboarding process with data configuration, taxonomy alignment, and workflow setup — reflecting its origins as an enterprise consulting tool rather than a self-serve product.
Best for: Large enterprises that need combined talent intelligence and sales intelligence with deep workforce analytics, skills mapping, and custom implementation
G2 rating: 4.4/5
Pricing: Enterprise-only custom pricing. No published pricing or self-serve plans. Requires sales engagement and custom scoping for implementation.
Salesmotion is an account intelligence platform purpose-built for B2B sales teams. Instead of combining HR and sales use cases, Salesmotion focuses exclusively on giving sellers the deep business context they need to have relevant, compelling conversations with enterprise buyers.
The platform synthesizes intelligence from over 1,000 sources — earnings calls, news articles, SEC filings, job postings, patent applications, leadership announcements, clinical trial data, and more — into comprehensive, interactive account briefs. It monitors target accounts 24/7 for buying signals like strategic initiative announcements, leadership transitions, funding rounds, competitive displacement, and expansion plans.
When a signal fires, Salesmotion generates contextual talking points so reps know not just who to reach, but why they should reach out now and what to discuss. Setup takes minutes, not months — teams are up and running the same day with no custom implementation or taxonomy configuration required.
Best for: B2B sales teams of any size that need deep, real-time account intelligence to personalize outreach, prepare for calls, and accelerate deal velocity
G2 rating: 4.8/5
Pricing: From $85/mo — flexible account-based pricing, unlimited users on team plans
How Draup and Salesmotion stack up across key capabilities.
| Feature | Draup | Salesmotion |
|---|---|---|
| Account Research | AI-generated dossiers from structured data sets | Real-time briefs synthesized from 1,000+ live sources |
| Buying Signals | Limited signal coverage, workforce-centric | Earnings calls, leadership changes, funding, strategy, clinical trials |
| Earnings Call Analysis | Not a core capability | Deep AI analysis of executive commentary and guidance |
| Workforce Analytics | Core strength — skills taxonomy, talent supply/demand | Hiring signals and leadership tracking (not workforce planning) |
| Org Chart Mapping | Built-in stakeholder and org chart intelligence | Leadership tracking with decision-maker context |
| Setup & Onboarding | Enterprise implementation with custom configuration | Self-serve setup, live in minutes |
| Data Freshness | Periodic updates to structured data sets | Real-time monitoring with 24/7 signal alerts |
| Pricing Transparency | Enterprise-only, no published pricing | Published pricing from $85/mo |
Draup operates on an enterprise-only pricing model with no published rates. Pricing is custom-scoped based on the number of users, data modules, and implementation complexity. Expect enterprise-level pricing that reflects the platform's workforce planning and sales intelligence breadth, plus implementation and onboarding costs. Organizations typically need to commit to annual contracts with minimum seat requirements.
Salesmotion offers transparent, published pricing starting at $85/month for individuals. Team plans start at $990/month with unlimited users — the entire sales organization gets access regardless of headcount. There are no implementation fees, no custom scoping, and no minimum seat requirements. Teams are up and running in minutes, not months.
The pricing models reflect fundamentally different philosophies. Draup's custom pricing suits large enterprises that need combined talent and sales intelligence with bespoke implementation. Salesmotion's transparent pricing democratizes access to deep account intelligence for teams of any size. For organizations that primarily need sales-focused account intelligence rather than workforce planning, Salesmotion provides faster time-to-value at a fraction of the cost. See our pricing page for full details.
“All of the vendors that I've worked with, all of the onboarding that I have had to deal with, I will say, hands down, Salesmotion was the easiest that I have had.”

Salesmotion gives your reps the account intelligence they need to book more meetings and close bigger deals.
It depends on your use case. If your primary need is sales-focused account intelligence — deep research, real-time buying signals, and AI-generated talking points — Salesmotion provides this with faster setup and transparent pricing. If you also need workforce planning, skills taxonomy, and labor market analytics, Draup's broader platform covers those additional use cases.
Salesmotion monitors over 1,000 sources for buying signals including earnings call analysis, leadership changes, funding rounds, strategic initiatives, clinical trials, and competitive intelligence. Draup's signal coverage is more workforce-centric, focusing on talent movements and organizational changes. For sales teams, Salesmotion's signal-based selling approach provides broader and deeper coverage of business events that drive buying decisions.
Earnings call analysis is a core Salesmotion capability — the platform uses AI to extract executive commentary on strategic priorities, revenue guidance, investment areas, and competitive dynamics from quarterly calls. This is not a primary Draup capability. See our guide on how to analyze earnings calls for pipeline generation.
Salesmotion provides specialized intelligence for selling to IT services firms (Capgemini, Accenture, Cognizant) and management consulting firms (McKinsey, BCG, Bain) — including practice launches, deal wins, and partner movements. Draup's workforce analytics can complement this with talent composition data, but Salesmotion's real-time signals and earnings call analysis provide the intelligence sellers need for these conversations.
Salesmotion is self-serve — teams are up and running in minutes with no implementation project required. Draup requires enterprise implementation including data configuration, taxonomy alignment, and workflow setup that typically takes weeks to months. For teams that need account intelligence quickly, Salesmotion's time-to-value is significantly faster.
Cytel cut research time by 50% and consolidated 5 tools into one with Salesmotion. Frontify achieved 4x self-sourced revenue and 42% faster sales velocity. Analytic Partners increased pipeline by 40%. These results were achieved with same-day setup and transparent pricing — no enterprise implementation required.
