Switching from Outreach to Salesloft
Switching from Outreach to Salesloft means manually rebuilding your sequences in Salesloft’s Cadence tool, since neither sales engagement platform offers a native importer for the other.
Why teams switch from Outreach to Salesloft
UI and workflow preference
Reps and admins sometimes find Salesloft’s Cadence builder and activity feed more intuitive day-to-day, though this is largely a matter of team preference rather than missing functionality in Outreach.
Different native integration ecosystem
Salesloft’s conversation-intelligence and CRM integrations may line up better with an existing tech stack than Outreach’s for some teams.
Contract or pricing negotiation leverage
Some teams switch platforms during a renewal cycle purely to negotiate better enterprise pricing, since both vendors are quote-only and pricing is heavily negotiated.

How to migrate your data
Since there’s no vendor-provided migration tool between the two platforms, plan on exporting your data and manually recreating sequence content.
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Export your Outreach sequences and templates | Pull your sequence step content, email templates, and call/task scripts out of Outreach as text or CSV so you have a reference to rebuild from. |
| 2. Export prospect and contact lists | Export your prospect records and any custom fields from Outreach before your contract access ends. |
| 3. Import contacts into Salesloft | Upload your cleaned contact export into Salesloft’s People records, mapping custom fields to Salesloft’s schema. |
| 4. Rebuild each cadence manually | Recreate every Outreach sequence step-by-step as a Salesloft Cadence, since sequence logic, timing, and A/B variants don’t transfer between the platforms. |
| 5. Reconnect your CRM sync | Re-point your Salesforce or HubSpot integration to Salesloft and reconfigure activity logging and field mapping. |
| 6. Re-verify sending mailboxes | Connect and verify your sending email accounts in Salesloft, since sender authentication and deliverability history don’t carry over from Outreach. |
Pricing during the transition
Neither vendor publishes self-serve pricing; both require a sales conversation, so any figures here are third-party estimates rather than confirmed rates.
| Plan | Outreach | Salesloft |
|---|---|---|
| Free plan | No free plan – quote-only | No free plan – quote-only |
| Entry paid tier | Amplify Core commonly estimated around $100-120/user/month | Entry tier commonly estimated around $125-165/user/month |
| Mid tier | Higher Amplify tiers add AI credits and advanced features at additional cost | Higher tiers add conversation intelligence and forecasting at additional cost |
Both Outreach and Salesloft are sales-led, quote-only products – the figures above are third-party estimates from buyer-research sites, not published vendor pricing, so get an actual quote before budgeting (as of September 2026).

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a native Outreach-to-Salesloft migration tool?
No – neither vendor documents a built-in importer for the other’s sequence or contact data, so migration is a manual export/rebuild process.
Will my Outreach sequences transfer to Salesloft?
No, sequence steps and templates need to be manually recreated as Salesloft Cadences.
How much does Salesloft actually cost compared to Outreach?
Neither company publishes list pricing – both require a sales quote, and third-party estimates suggest the two land in a broadly similar per-user range.
Why do teams switch between two such similar platforms?
Usually UI preference, a specific integration need, or using a renewal/RFP cycle as leverage to negotiate pricing – feature parity between the two is generally close.
How long does a full sequence rebuild typically take?
It depends on how many active cadences you run, but teams commonly report several weeks of parallel-running both tools to fully validate a rebuild before cutting over.
