Quick answer: Pick Salesloft if you run a sales team with reps and managers and want cadences, a dialer, call coaching, deal management and forecasting in one platform, and you are fine getting a custom quote, because Salesloft 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. Salesloft details below come from its own website, checked on November 2, 2026.
Buzz and Salesloft both help B2B teams build pipeline, but they suit different buyers. Salesloft is a revenue platform: your reps run cadences and calls, and managers use it for coaching, deals and forecasts. You buy it 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.

Pricing: what you actually pay
Salesloft does not show any prices. On November 2, 2026, its pricing link went straight to a Talk to Sales page with a booking form: a quick intro call, a walkthrough of your sales process, then next steps. The page lists no plans, packages, seat prices or free trial, so the only way to learn the cost is to get a quote.
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 Salesloft you need a sales call and a quote before you know what you will pay.

Channels: email, LinkedIn and calls
Salesloft runs outreach through multi-channel Cadences. Its sales engagement page shows cadence steps for calls, emails and LinkedIn touchpoints, a dialer to call or text buyers, and Salesloft Meetings so buyers can book time from your emails. Your reps work through those steps each day, helped by an AI-sorted to-do list.
Buzz includes email, LinkedIn and calls from the first paid seat, and the AI Employee can run those steps for you. 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
Salesloft's AI agents help your reps. They research accounts and buyers, suggest people to add to your outreach, write emails for cadence steps, sort each rep's daily to-dos, sum up deals and point out stalled deals so managers can step in. Salesloft also offers an MCP server so AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude can read your Salesloft data. Your reps still run the cadences, calls and deals.
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.

Beyond prospecting
Salesloft goes well past outbound. Conversation Intelligence records and reviews calls, Deals and Inspect track pipeline risk, Analytics reports on performance, and Clari Forecast predicts revenue. That is why it suits sales orgs with managers and revenue operations staff. 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.
