Drift alternative
Drift alternative for qualifying website leads
Clari + Salesloft announced the gradual sunset of Drift in March 2026 and points existing Drift customers to 1mind. If you used Drift to answer website visitors, ask qualification questions, and route good-fit buyers to a meeting, MadeAgentic covers that website job without an enterprise sales stack.
Short answer
MadeAgentic is a Drift alternative for teams that want the website part of Drift: a voice and text agent that answers visitor questions, asks your qualification questions, captures context, and opens Calendly or Cal.com only for good-fit visitors. It costs $99 per agent per month with a 30-day free trial. It is not a replacement for Drift features tied to Salesloft, such as rep routing from CRM ownership or account-based playbooks.

FAQ
Drift alternative questions
Is Drift shutting down?
Clari + Salesloft announced the gradual sunset of its Drift conversational marketing product on March 5, 2026, and refers existing Drift customers to 1mind under an exclusive agreement. Check with Salesloft for the date that applies to your contract.
What is the best Drift alternative for small teams?
For small teams that used Drift to qualify website visitors and book meetings, look for a self-serve tool with a public price that can ask qualification questions and open your existing calendar. MadeAgentic does this for $99 per agent per month. Enterprise teams that relied on Salesloft routing and ABM playbooks should also look at 1mind, Qualified, and Intercom.
Can MadeAgentic route leads to different sales reps like Drift?
Not by CRM account owner. MadeAgentic qualifies the visitor, captures context, and sends a summary by email or Slack and can open your Calendly or Cal.com calendar. Rep-level routing by CRM ownership is a Drift and Salesloft feature it does not copy.
Does MadeAgentic book the meeting itself?
No. After the agent checks fit, it opens your Calendly or Cal.com calendar inside the chat and the visitor picks a time. It does not read availability or reserve slots.
Can I run MadeAgentic and Drift at the same time while I switch?
Yes, on different pages. Run MadeAgentic on a few high-intent pages, compare the conversations, then move the rest of the site.
Test it on your own website first.
Generate an agent from your website, ask it the questions your visitors ask, and decide when it should qualify, capture details, or open your calendar.
