Drift Alternative

Looking for a
Drift Alternative?

Drift — now part of Salesloft — charges $2,500+/mo for their conversational marketing platform. That's enterprise pricing for what is essentially a chatbot with routing. BrickByClick gives you an AI chatbot that knows your business, captures leads, and feeds your CRM — for a fraction of the cost.

Common Pain Points

Why People Leave Drift

01

$2,500+/mo — Completely Out of Reach

Drift's pricing starts at $2,500/mo. For a local service business doing $300K–$2M in revenue, that's absurd. BrickByClick's plans — AI receptionist, CRM, website and email follow-ups — start at $399/mo, and Growth adds local SEO at $599/mo.

02

Enterprise Platform, Enterprise Complexity

Drift was built for B2B SaaS sales teams with dedicated RevOps resources. The setup requires playbook configuration, routing rules, and Salesforce integration. If you don't have a Salesforce admin on staff, you're fighting the tool instead of using it.

03

Acquired by Salesloft — Product Future Uncertain

Drift was acquired by Salesloft and is being merged into their sales engagement platform. Features are being consolidated, pricing is changing, and the standalone chat product may not exist in its current form much longer. BrickByClick is purpose-built and independently operated.

04

Designed for B2B Pipeline, Not Local Service

Drift's value proposition is routing enterprise website visitors to the right sales rep based on account data. That's irrelevant for local businesses. You need a chatbot that answers 'how much does a roof replacement cost?' with your actual pricing — not one that asks visitors to book a meeting with a BDR.

Common Questions

Switching from Drift

Is BrickByClick's chatbot as advanced as Drift's?
For local service businesses, it's more effective. Drift optimizes for B2B pipeline routing and meeting booking. BrickByClick's chatbot is optimized for answering customer questions with your actual business data — pricing, services, availability — and converting visitors into leads in your CRM.
We're on Drift but it's too expensive — how do we switch?
Simple. Sign up for BrickByClick, and we'll have your AI chatbot live in about 2 weeks. Your website content becomes the chatbot's knowledge base automatically. Cancel Drift when your contract expires. There's no data migration needed.
Does BrickByClick have Drift's routing features?
Drift routes conversations to sales reps based on account matching. BrickByClick's AI handles the conversation entirely — it doesn't need to route because it already knows the answers. For complex inquiries, it captures the lead and flags it for follow-up.
What about Drift's email sequencing?
BrickByClick includes email automation: quote follow-ups, review requests and win-back emails trigger automatically from the CRM, and you can send email campaigns to your contacts. No separate email tool needed. Text messaging is coming soon.
