Salesloft is a leading sales engagement platform that helps teams execute multi-channel outreach through email sequences, phone cadences, and social touches. It tracks engagement metrics, automates follow-ups, and provides coaching insights for sales managers.
But Salesloft answers the question 'how do I reach out?' — not 'who should I reach out to and why?' It has no account research, no buying signal detection, and no prioritization engine. Reps still need to manually decide which accounts to target and what to say.
Best for: Sales engagement execution — email sequences, cadences, phone tracking, and activity management
G2 rating: 4.5/5
Pricing: Custom pricing; typically $125-165/user/month
Salesmotion is an account intelligence platform that tells your reps who to reach out to, why now, and what to say. The platform monitors 1,000+ external sources to surface buying signals, generate AI account briefs, and draft signal-based outreach — all grounded in real account events, not generic templates.
Where Salesloft helps you send emails, Salesmotion ensures those emails are worth sending. Every outreach draft is anchored to a real trigger — a leadership change, a funding round, an earnings insight — so reps send fewer, better messages that actually get replies.
Best for: B2B sales teams that need account intelligence and buying signals to power smarter, more targeted outreach
G2 rating: 4.8/5
Pricing: From $85/mo for individuals; team plans from $990/mo with unlimited users. Scales by accounts monitored, not headcount.

| Email sequences | Best-in-class cadence builder | Not a sequence tool (complements engagement platforms) |
| Call tracking | Built-in dialer with recording | No dialer (focused on intelligence) |
| Outreach personalization | Template variables and snippets | AI drafts grounded in real signals and research |
| Lead prioritization | Engagement-based scoring | Signal-based prioritization (who's showing intent now) |

| Team coaching | Conversation intelligence and dashboards | Account-level intelligence reports for managers |
Salesloft uses per-seat pricing, typically $125-165/user/month depending on the plan and features needed. For a 20-person sales team, that's $2,500-3,300/month ($30,000-39,600/year) just for the engagement platform — before you've solved the intelligence problem.
Salesmotion starts at $85/month for individuals. Team plans start at $990/month and include unlimited users, so every rep gets full access to account briefs, buying signals, and AI outreach without additional per-seat fees. The pricing scales by accounts monitored, not headcount.
Many teams use both: Salesmotion for intelligence (who to target, why now, what to say) and Salesloft for execution (sending the sequences). The key question is whether your bottleneck is sending capacity or targeting accuracy. Salesloft helps you send more emails; Salesmotion helps you send better emails.

Salesmotion gives your reps the account intelligence they need to book more meetings and close bigger deals.
No. Salesloft and Salesmotion solve different problems. Salesloft is a sales engagement platform for executing multi-channel sequences. Salesmotion is an account intelligence platform that surfaces who to target, why now, and what to say. Many teams use both together — Salesmotion feeds the intelligence, Salesloft executes the outreach.
Yes, and many teams do. Salesmotion identifies accounts showing buying signals and generates research-backed outreach drafts. Reps then use those insights and drafts to build targeted sequences in Salesloft. The combination means higher-quality outreach at scale — intelligence-driven, not spray-and-pray.
Salesloft provides templates, variables, and snippets for personalizing emails — but the rep still decides what to say. Salesmotion generates complete outreach drafts anchored to real account events: a leadership change, a funding round, an earnings insight. Every message cites its source, so the personalization is genuine, not superficial.
Salesloft's AI focuses on engagement optimization — subject line suggestions, send-time optimization, and conversation intelligence. It makes your sequences perform better. Salesmotion's AI operates at the account intelligence level — synthesizing 1,000+ sources into briefs, detecting buying signals, and generating context-aware outreach. They're complementary AI applications.
Salesloft improves reply rates through better execution — A/B testing, send-time optimization, and multi-channel touches. Salesmotion improves reply rates through better targeting and personalization — reaching the right accounts at the right time with messages grounded in real intelligence. The biggest reply rate gains come from combining both.
Yes, for most teams. Salesloft typically costs $125-165/user/month. Salesmotion team plans start at $990/month with unlimited users. For a 10-person team, Salesloft runs $1,250-1,650/month while Salesmotion costs $990/month total. But since they solve different problems, the better question is which problem you need to solve first. See our pricing page for details.
Account intelligence, live signals, and AI-driven outreach — so your team spends less time researching and more time closing.
