Why is Drift shutting down?
Drift was acquired by Salesloft, and a sunset of the standalone product was announced in March 2026. Existing Drift customers should expect to migrate to a different tool.
Drift alternative
Looking for a Drift alternative? You're not the only one.
Drift's Premium plan starts at $2,500/month, and Drift is being wound down following its acquisition by Salesloft. Remote Specialist Hub is a plan-based AI sales widget built for businesses Drift's enterprise pricing was never really for.

Why businesses switch
Where Remote Specialist Hub and Drift differ.
Drift was built for enterprise B2B sales teams, with Premium plans starting around $2,500/month and Advanced/Enterprise tiers running $4,000–$6,000+/month on negotiated contracts. Following Drift's acquisition by Salesloft, a sunset has been announced — which means many Drift customers now need a migration plan regardless of budget. Remote Specialist Hub covers the same core job — qualify a visitor and turn the conversation into a real next step — at a price built for small and mid-size businesses, plus quote requests and in-chat payment, which were never Drift's focus.

When Drift might be the better fit.
If you're a large enterprise sales organization with dedicated account-based marketing tooling and budget, Drift's ABM routing and Salesforce-depth integration were built for that scale — worth confirming directly with Salesloft given the sunset, though.
Common questions
FAQ
What should Drift customers switch to?
It depends on your budget and use case. If you need enterprise ABM routing, ask Salesloft about their migration path. If you're a small or mid-size business that mainly needs lead qualification, quote requests, and in-chat payment, Remote Specialist Hub is built for that at a fraction of Drift's pricing.
