Choose Salespeak if you want visibility into how buyers research via AI (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity), same-day deployment, and transparent pricing. Choose Drift if you're already in the Salesloft ecosystem and need conversational AI with CRM workflow integration.

When buyers ask ChatGPT or Claude "what's the best solution for [your category]," do you know what they're told? Salespeak shows you exactly how LLMs represent your product—and helps you optimize for it. Drift has no visibility into this critical research channel where more and more B2B buying journeys now begin.
Drift has evolved into a capable conversational AI platform, now integrated into Salesloft's sales engagement suite. Salespeak takes a different approach: purpose-built intelligence infrastructure that helps you understand what buyers are asking, where your content gaps are, and critically—how to appear when buyers research via AI.
Drift requires implementation cycles, workflow configuration, and sales team training. Salespeak goes live in under 30 minutes. Upload your docs, configure your voice, start engaging buyers—today. No implementation team. No IT tickets. No waiting.
No annual contracts. No hidden implementation fees. No sales call required to see pricing. Salespeak publishes prices openly. Drift requires a demo just to learn what it costs.
| Metric | Salespeak | Drift |
|---|---|---|
| Time to Value | Same day | 2-4 weeks |
| Onboarding Cost | $0 | Implementation fees |
| Contract Terms | Month-to-month | Annual |
