Quick answer: Pick Outreach if you run a large revenue team and want sequencing, call coaching, deal management and forecasting in one enterprise platform, and you are fine getting a custom quote, because Outreach does not publish prices. Pick Buzz if you want LinkedIn, email and calls in one seat for $79 a month, billed monthly, or an AI Employee that runs outbound and books meetings for you. Outreach details below come from its pricing page, checked on October 30, 2026.
Buzz and Outreach both help B2B teams build pipeline, but they are built for different buyers. Outreach is a revenue platform for sales orgs with reps, managers and RevOps, and it prices by seat plus AI credits through a sales conversation. Buzz gives you a self-serve seat across three channels, or an AI Employee that does the prospecting, writing, replies and booking. This guide compares them on channels, AI, data and price, using each company's own public pricing.

Pricing: what you actually pay
Outreach does not show any dollar prices. Every package has a Request pricing button, and Outreach says cost depends on team size, usage and which AI workflows you turn on. Here is what each package includes:
- Amplify Essentials: 10,000 AI credits, focused on conversation intelligence and coaching.
- Amplify Core: 25,000 AI credits, focused on pipeline creation, with multi-channel sequences, the Outreach Voice dialer and 250,000 API calls.
- Amplify Plus: 50,000 AI credits, adding live coaching, deal and pipeline management and meeting AI. Outreach marks this as most popular.
- Amplify Pro: 100,000 AI credits, adding forecasting, territory management and managed services.
- Extras: more AI credit packs, add-ons such as Data Sharing, Connectors, Additional Instances and Listener Licenses, and professional services for onboarding, all quoted on request.
Buzz keeps it to three options with public prices:
- Core: $79 per seat per month, billed monthly. Includes LinkedIn and email outreach, phone calling, voicemail drops, CRM integrations and AI message drafting.
- AI Employee: custom priced, so you talk to sales.
- White Label: $1,000 a month for 20 seats, billed annually. See Buzz white label.
Bottom line on price: with Buzz you can see the price and start the same day. With Outreach you need a sales call and a quote, and your bill has two parts, seats and AI credits.

Channels: email, LinkedIn and calls
Outreach's pricing page lists multi-channel engagement and sequences, meeting scheduling and its own Outreach Voice dialer. It does not name LinkedIn in any package, so check with Outreach if LinkedIn steps matter to you.
Buzz includes email, LinkedIn and calls from the first paid seat. That matters because email-only outreach tends to stall as inboxes get stricter. Our guide on why email-only AI SDRs stall explains why, and how to build one LinkedIn and email sequence shows how to set it up.
AI: who does the work
Outreach's AI agents help your reps. Research, Personalization, Revenue and Deal agents prepare accounts, draft emails, flag deal risk and summarize meetings, and higher packages add live coaching and forecasting. Your reps still run the sequences and the deals, and AI use draws down your credits.
Buzz's AI Employee runs outbound for you. It learns your business, finds prospects that match your ideal customer profile, builds campaigns across LinkedIn and email, handles replies and objections, follows up when people go quiet, and books meetings in Calendly. Learn more in what an AI Employee is.
Beyond prospecting
Outreach goes well past outbound. Conversation intelligence, rep coaching, deal management and forecasting are big parts of its packages, which is why it suits sales orgs with managers and RevOps. Buzz is focused on the top of the funnel: finding prospects, reaching them on three channels and booking the meeting, then syncing to your CRM.
Who should pick which
