# Qualified Alternatives (2026): 5 Compared

> Source: https://theagentsindex.com/qualified/alternatives (curated, quality-gated, re-verified)

Qualified is an inbound AI SDR platform built around Piper, an agent that engages website visitors in real time, qualifies them against your ICP, and books the meeting -- deeply wired into Salesforce rather than treating the CRM as just another integration. That depth is also the constraint: Salesforce is a hard requirement, not an option, and the required Salesforce subscription is billed on top of Qualified's own contract. Named case studies (Asana, Greenhouse) and a documented public API back a real product, and Salesforce itself paid roughly $1.2 billion to acquire the company outright in April 2026, a strong signal of staying power -- but also means the roadmap now moves with Agentforce's priorities rather than an independent vendor's. There is no public price list: independent procurement data (Vendr, 183 real deals) puts the median annual contract at $61,000, ranging $35,280-$114,600, with a competitor cost breakdown estimating enterprise deployments reach $72,000-$100,000+ once Salesforce infrastructure and onboarding are included. Qualified's own listing names exactly who should look elsewhere, in its own words: teams on a non-Salesforce CRM, teams whose bottleneck is outbound prospecting rather than inbound conversion, or anyone wanting transparent self-serve pricing. Stay with Qualified if you're Salesforce-native and inbound-traffic conversion is genuinely your bottleneck; move if any of those three apply. The five tools below are independently researched, Published listings on this site, not a scraped or AI-generated list: each carries current pricing we verified, sourced pros and cons, and an honest best-for and not-for call.

| # | Name | What it is | Why it's here | Pricing | API |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | [Warmly](https://theagentsindex.com/warmly.md) | Person-level website visitor identification plus two named AI agents (Inbound Agent and TAM Agent) that engage buyers in real time. Acquired by HubSpot, June 2026. | The closest functional comparator: Warmly does the same job as Qualified -- real-time AI engagement of identified website visitors -- through a purpose-built Inbound Agent, and pairs it with a TAM Agent that works accounts that aren't on the site yet, both drawing on one combined signal layer. It is CRM-agnostic, unlike Qualified's hard Salesforce requirement, and backs the pitch with real named customers (New Relic, Cyberhaven, CircleCI) and $21.9M raised since 2020. The tradeoff: it does not fix the pricing-transparency complaint -- there is no self-serve monthly plan or free tier at all, every paid tier is a quarterly ($4,875+) or annual ($10,000+) contract -- and independently reported person-level visitor identification (15-25%) runs below what specialist identification tools claim. | $4,875 / quarter (or $10,000/yr, annual) | Yes |
| 2 | [Unify](https://theagentsindex.com/unify.md) | A single conversational GTM agent for warm outbound — self-serve from $0, built to augment a seller rather than replace one. | For the reader who wants transparent, self-serve pricing and no CRM lock-in -- Unify is the only tool in this outbound-adjacent cluster with a genuine $0 self-serve tier, and explicitly positions itself as augmenting a human seller rather than replacing one. It syncs natively to Salesforce or HubSpot via real-time Change Data Capture and webhooks, so it never requires Salesforce the way Qualified does. The tradeoff: it just completed a dramatic pricing-model pivot, so third-party sources still describe a different, enterprise-only motion -- check unifygtm.com/pricing directly -- and its deepest features (the GPT-5.6 model, write-access CRM sync, website intent signals) sit behind a custom-quoted Business tier. | $0 | Yes |
| 3 | [Amplemarket](https://theagentsindex.com/amplemarket.md) | An all-in-one sales engagement platform whose Duo Copilot scans 100+ buying signals daily and drafts multichannel outreach — reps review, edit or dismiss every action before it sends. | For the reader who wants transparent entry pricing and a human reviewing every send rather than full autonomy. Amplemarket bundles contact data, multichannel sequencing and AI signal detection into one platform, with Duo Copilot drafting and prioritizing outreach that a rep must approve before it sends -- a real, published price at $600/month for 2 seats, unlike Qualified's fully custom contracts. The tradeoff: pricing beyond 2 seats is entirely custom-quoted, the company's own pricing page and blog disagree on that same tier's credit numbers, and disclosed funding ($12M, last announced 2022) is modest next to better-capitalized category peers. | $600 / month, billed annually, 2 seats included | Yes |
| 4 | [Rox](https://theagentsindex.com/rox.md) | An AI-native revenue operating system, "agent swarms" (one per account) that research, monitor and update your existing CRM across the whole deal lifecycle, with a genuine free self-serve tier. | For the reader who wants an ongoing AI layer over whatever CRM they already run, not a point-in-time inbound-conversion tool tied to one vendor's ecosystem. Rox assigns a persistent agent to every account that keeps researching, monitoring and updating your existing CRM, and backs it with the most transparent pricing in this set: a genuine free tier (2,000 agent actions/month) plus a $100/month entry paid tier, real public pricing that neither Qualified nor Artisan offer at all. The tradeoff: users report limited customization connecting Rox to some existing tools, the free and $100 tiers cap out fast for a real book of accounts, and at two years old (founded 2024) it carries far less production history than the CRMs and sales tools around it. | Free | No |

## Methodology

We only draw alternatives from this site's own Published, individually-researched AI SDR platform listings, never a fresh, unverified list. A tool qualifies only if a reader would genuinely move to it for one of the specific reasons Qualified's own listing names -- CRM independence, outbound prospecting, or transparent pricing -- fact-checked against its own pricing and deployment model, with sourced pros, cons and a best-for call already in place. Two nominal category peers, 11x and Artisan, were checked and left out: both are custom-quoted and sales-gated, the same pricing opacity a Qualified-leaver is already trying to escape, and both carry unresolved reputational issues a recommendation should not paper over. The order below runs from the closest functional match, through the outbound-specific pick, to the three transparent-pricing alternatives, each doing a genuinely different job.
