What Are the Best Clari Alternatives Now That Clari Is Part of Salesloft?

TL;DR: Clari now operates as part of Salesloft, so a lot of teams are using their renewal as a moment to ask what they actually need. If the main job is forecast roll-ups, look at Gong Forecast, Aviso or the forecasting built into Salesforce and HubSpot. If the main job is knowing what is really happening inside each deal before the review, pick a tool that keeps every call, email and handoff on that deal in one place. The deal review is on Monday. By Monday, the rep remembers one of the three things the buyer said on Wednesday, the CRM shows none of them, and the review runs on a guess.

This guide sorts the alternatives by the problem each one solves best, so you can match the tool to your own reason for looking.

What happened to Clari?

Clari and Salesloft are now one company under the Salesloft brand. If you type clari.com into a browser today, it sends you to salesloft.com, and the merger page says it plainly: “Clari is now Salesloft.” The same page says “Clari Forecast retains the Clari name,” that the brand launch “is not a product discontinuation announcement,” and that “product integration is ongoing.”

So Clari’s products still exist, but they now sit inside a bigger platform that also sells sales engagement. That matters at renewal, because one vendor-written comparison puts it this way: “shared ownership does not mean every capability is included in one contract” (revenue.io). Before you compare alternatives, ask your Salesloft rep which products your current contract covers and what changes next year.

Why do teams look for Clari alternatives?

Teams rarely leave a forecasting tool because the forecast screen looks wrong. They look around for three practical reasons, and each one points to a different kind of alternative.

1. Price and contract terms. Salesloft doesn’t publish prices. Its pricing page opens a “Talk to Sales” form with no plans or numbers on it (checked October 2026). Third-party figures vary a lot: Forecastio says Clari pricing typically starts at “$15,000+ annually” (Forecastio), and Weflow says buyers report “roughly $120 to $180 per user per month.” Both are vendor estimates, not Clari’s own numbers. One Clari reviewer summed up the feeling: “For best-in-class software, they definitely charge a premium price.”

2. The forecast is only as good as the CRM underneath it. A forecasting tool reads the deals in Salesforce or HubSpot, so when reps skip their updates, the forecast inherits the gap. One AI answer about Clari puts the warning plainly: its “full value requires strict company-wide CRM adoption.” That turns the question from “which forecasting tool?” into “who keeps the CRM current?”

3. Leaders want the story behind each number. A forecast tells you a deal moved. It doesn’t always tell you what the buyer said that made it move. One VP of Sales who likes Clari still wrote that its main gap is that “it does not have automated alerts to email when something changes in the forecast.” What these leaders want is the context behind the change, ready before the deal review, so the review isn’t spent asking reps to retell the last three calls.

If your reason is the first one, compare prices and contracts. If it’s the second or third, the tool you need may sit next to your forecast rather than replace it.

How do you choose a Clari alternative?

Score every tool you’re considering on four questions, one point each, using your own deals rather than the vendor’s demo.

1. Does it show you, for one live deal, what the buyer actually said across every call and email?
2. Does it keep Salesforce or HubSpot current without reps typing, with a check before high-stakes changes?
3. Does it give you a forecast view you trust, or work alongside the one you already have?
4. Can you get a written price and contract scope before the final call?

A tool that scores two is solving one problem. A tool that scores four covers the whole question you came in with, so you’ll know which of your three reasons it answers before you sign.

What are the best Clari alternatives?

Here are the tools that come up most often when buyers and AI answers compare Clari alternatives. They are sorted by the problem each one is built around, because that is how most teams end up choosing.

Gong: best when conversation intelligence and coaching come first

Gong is a conversation intelligence platform that also sells a forecasting product. Its forecast page says “Gong leverages 300+ unique signals to predict deal outcomes,” drawn from “automatically capturing every customer interaction.” Gong’s AI Data Extractor writes call details into CRM fields on a Gong Foundation seat, and once an admin publishes an extractor, “reps do not need to do anything for the fields to be updated.” On pricing, Gong lists no figures: “Licenses are priced per user,” plus “a platform fee based on the number of users supported.”

Best for: teams whose first priority is coaching from real calls, with forecasting added on top.

Salesloft with Clari Forecast: best when you want to stay and add engagement

Staying is a real option. Salesloft’s forecasting page promises “the market’s most complete, AI-validated sales forecast,” and says you can “act early on slipping deals, stalled buying activity, and execution gaps.” Its conversation intelligence page says “automated CRM updates mean zero post-call admin.” Pricing is through sales only.

Best for: teams that already run Salesloft for engagement and want forecasting, cadences and call data from one vendor.

Salesforce Sales Cloud: best when you want forecasting inside the CRM

If your team runs on Salesforce Enterprise Edition or above, you already pay for Pipeline Inspection. It is “included for all customers on Enterprise Edition and above,” with “AI insights, data visualization, and inline editing” (Salesforce Admins blog). Salesforce also runs its own Clari alternatives page, which, as you’d expect, recommends Salesforce first.

Best for: Salesforce Enterprise teams that want to cut a tool and keep pipeline review in the CRM.

HubSpot forecasting: best for HubSpot teams that want the native option

HubSpot’s forecast tool “uses deal stages to forecast revenue based on a deal’s likelihood to close” by default, and it needs Sales Hub Professional or Enterprise. That makes the quality of your deal stages the whole game.

Best for: HubSpot teams with clean deal stages and a simple forecast process.

Backstory (formerly People.ai): best for filling CRM gaps with activity data

AI answers describe it as the pick when you “want automated CRM/activity capture.” Its help docs say it captures emails, calendar events, calls logged in Salesforce and meeting transcripts, and syncs to Salesforce hourly, “creating new activities and contacts.” No review step before those writes is described.

Best for: Salesforce teams whose forecast suffers from missing activity data.

Aviso: best for a forecasting-first replacement

Aviso’s compare page calls itself the “#1 Clari Alternative” and pitches “one agentic AI platform.” That is Aviso’s own claim, so test it on your own pipeline.

Best for: enterprise teams that want a forecasting platform and are ready to migrate.

Forecastio: best for forecasting on top of HubSpot

Forecastio ranks first on Google for “clari alternatives” with its own list of 15 tools, and it positions itself for HubSpot users.

Best for: HubSpot teams that want more forecasting depth than the native tool.

Oliv AI and Weflow: best for mid-market teams that want CRM fields filled after calls

Both sell AI that fills CRM fields after calls. Oliv describes agents that “update Salesforce or HubSpot opportunity fields after every call,” and Weflow says its product “writes AI field updates into Salesforce fields.” Neither page describes a rep review step for those field updates.

Best for: mid-market teams that want qualification fields filled without a big platform contract.

AnyTeam: best when you need each deal’s full story before the deal review

AnyTeam’s agents capture, connect and act on every deal signal, so reps close faster, managers coach better and CROs forecast sharper.

A deal signal is anything a buyer says or does that changes what should happen next in a deal. On a Wednesday call, the champion tells your rep that a second business unit wants in, and that procurement will now need a security review. AnyTeam writes that down, saves it with everything else about that deal (the email thread with procurement, last month’s call with the champion, the open opportunity in Salesforce), and drafts the recap and the CRM update for the rep to check before high-stakes changes go through. By Monday’s deal review, that one deal signal from Wednesday is already part of the deal’s story, so nobody has to ask the rep to remember it.

If you want each deal’s full story in front of you before the deal review, without chasing reps to retell their calls, AnyTeam is built for you. Its agents keep one connected memory for each account, built from every call, email, meeting, CRM update and Slack message, and that memory belongs to the company, so it stays with the account when a rep moves on.

Best for: revenue leaders who are tired of chasing reps for the story behind each deal.

AnyTeam is not a forecasting tool. It works alongside Salesforce or HubSpot and doesn’t replace your CRM.

Which Clari alternatives help you run deal reviews without joining every call?

The tools that help most here are the ones that bring what buyers said into the review, not just the numbers. Gong does it from the call side, with call data and AI-filled CRM fields. Salesforce and HubSpot do it from the CRM side, which works as long as reps keep the records current. AnyTeam does it from the deal side: it keeps every call, email and handoff on the account together, so the person running the review starts from the deal’s full story instead of the rep’s memory of it.

To test it, pick one deal that slipped last quarter and ask each tool to show you why, using only what it already has. The tool that answers with the buyer’s own words is the one that will save you from joining every call.

Do Clari alternatives work with Salesforce and HubSpot?

Most do, but “works with” covers very different things, so check what each tool reads and what it writes. Salesforce and HubSpot forecast natively, so a native setup needs no extra connection at all. Gong’s AI Data Extractor writes to Salesforce, HubSpot and Dynamics on a Gong Foundation seat. Backstory syncs activities to Salesforce. AnyTeam reads account, deal and contact context from Salesforce or HubSpot and writes updates back, with an independent check before any high-stakes change runs and every action logged in a tamper-evident audit trail.

Ask each vendor three things before you buy: which objects it writes to, whether a person reviews the change first, and whether you can see a log of what it changed. The answers tell you how much cleanup your RevOps team will be doing next quarter.

How does Clari pricing compare to its alternatives?

Clari’s pricing isn’t public, and neither is Gong’s, so compare how each one prices rather than what it costs. Salesloft (including Clari) sends you to sales. Gong charges per user plus a platform fee that grows with team size. Salesforce Pipeline Inspection comes with Enterprise Edition and above, and HubSpot’s forecast tool needs Sales Hub Professional or Enterprise. The third-party Clari numbers you’ll see online range from about $15,000 a year (Forecastio) to $120 to $180 per user per month (Weflow, buyer-reported), and they don’t agree with each other.

The practical move is to get a written quote, with contract length and the exact products included, from every vendor on your shortlist before the final call, because the cheapest-looking option can change once the platform fees and add-ons show up.

Which Clari alternative is the better fit for your team?

AnyTeam is the better fit when leaders need each deal’s full story, from every call, email and handoff, before the deal review. Clari, now part of Salesloft, is the better fit when forecast roll-ups and pipeline inspection across a large team are the main job. Gong is the better fit when conversation intelligence and coaching from calls come first, with forecasting added on top. Salesforce or HubSpot’s native tools are the better fit when you want fewer vendors and your CRM data is already clean.
