Common questions about switching from Drift

Drift never published pricing publicly. Based on customer reports and reviews, Drift's plans typically started at $2,500/month and could exceed $10,000/month for enterprise features. After the Salesloft acquisition, standalone Drift is being retired in favor of Salesloft Chat Agents, so it is no longer an option for new customers. Social Intents publishes all pricing on our website, starting at $39/month.
Yes! Social Intents offers AI chatbots powered by ChatGPT (GPT-5.2), Claude, AND Google Gemini. You can train the AI on your website content, documents, and FAQs, just like Drift's conversational AI. The difference is you get to choose from 3 leading AI providers instead of being locked into one.
Yes! Social Intents integrates with Salesforce, HubSpot, Dynamics 365, and 50+ other apps through Zapier. You can automatically create leads, log conversations, and sync data with your CRM. All integrations are included in every plan.
Drift requires sales calls, onboarding meetings, and complex implementation. Social Intents is self-serve: sign up, connect your team chat app (Teams, Slack, etc.), add the widget to your website, and you're live. Most teams are up and running in under 15 minutes.
Yes! We offer a 14-day free trial with full access to all features including AI chatbots, team integrations, and CRM connections. No credit card required. Drift doesn't offer a free trial. You have to commit to an expensive annual contract.
Social Intents supports multiple websites on all plans. You can create different chat widgets for each site, all managed from one dashboard. No need to pay extra for additional domains like some enterprise platforms require.
