Qualified Alternatives (2026): 5 Compared
5 real alternatives to Qualified: Warmly, Clay, Unify, Amplemarket and Rox, compared on Salesforce-independence, outbound prospecting, and transparent self-serve pricing, verified against this site's own researched listings.
On this page
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.
Why these 4 made the shortlist
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.
How we chose these alternatives
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.

4 alternatives to Qualified, in detail
Warmly
from $4,875 / quarter (or $10,000/yr, annual)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.
Best for RevOps/GTM teams with meaningful inbound website traffic who want one connected system for identifying, engaging and routing visitors, plus coordinated outbound account orchestration, rather than two separate tools.
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.
Unify
from $0A single conversational GTM agent for warm outbound — self-serve from $0, built to augment a seller rather than replace one.
Best for Sales reps and small-to-mid-size revenue teams that want one chat-based agent to handle prospecting, enrichment and sequencing without hiring a dedicated GTM engineer to build workflows (Clay's audience) or signing a full sales-led enterprise contract (11x's or Artisan's).
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.
Amplemarket
from $600 / month, billed annually, 2 seats includedAn 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.
Best for B2B sales teams that want prospecting data, multichannel sequencing and an AI signal-detection copilot in one platform, with a human still reviewing every message 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.
Rox
from FreeAn 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.
Best for Enterprise sales and revenue-operations teams that want continuous, per-account research and CRM hygiene layered on top of Salesforce/HubSpot, queried in plain English.
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.

Sponsor this page →Featured · top of your category →Frequently asked questions
- Is there a free alternative to Qualified?
- Rox has a genuine free self-serve tier (2,000 agent actions/month) and Unify is self-serve from $0 -- real ways to start without Qualified's fully custom, sales-gated contract, though neither does Qualified's exact job of real-time inbound-website-visitor engagement the way Warmly does.
- What is the closest alternative to Qualified?
- Warmly -- it does the same core job, real-time AI engagement of identified website visitors, through a purpose-built Inbound Agent, and is CRM-agnostic where Qualified requires Salesforce. It does not fix Qualified's pricing-transparency complaint, though: every Warmly plan is a quarterly or annual contract, not self-serve.
- Which Qualified alternative has transparent, published pricing?
- Rox ($0 free tier, $100/month entry tier), Unify (self-serve from $0) and Amplemarket ($600/month for 2 seats) all publish real prices, against Qualified's fully sales-gated contracts with a $61,000/year median deal.
- Is there a Qualified alternative that doesn't require Salesforce?
- All five: Warmly, Clay, Unify, Amplemarket and Rox each work without a Salesforce subscription. Unify natively syncs to either Salesforce or HubSpot rather than requiring one specific CRM.
- Is there a Qualified alternative built for outbound prospecting instead of inbound?
- Clay, the GTM data layer for outbound teams -- waterfall enrichment plus Claygent, an AI research agent, for building and enriching outbound lists at scale, unlimited seats on every plan.
