Drift is being sunset by Clari + Salesloft. It carried B2B sales chat with rep routing and ABM, an enterprise category most sites never needed. If you just want an AI bot that answers visitor questions, Amabrik does that with your own AI key, at a flat price, with no per-seat or per-conversation bill.
A content-trained AI chatbot with your own key, no seats, plus a website toolkit, against an enterprise sales-chat platform that's winding down.
In early March 2026, Clari + Salesloft announced the gradual sunset of Drift and named 1mind as the successor they refer existing Drift clients to. So Drift is no longer a forward-looking purchase, it's being wound down. Amabrik's AI chatbot is actively built and one of 10 widgets on a single bill.
Drift's pricing is seat-based, quote-led, and enterprise from day one. Third parties report the entry Premium plan around $2,500/mo billed annually, with extra seats reportedly $50 to $150 each per month (estimates vary). Amabrik is a flat $29/mo for 1 site, no seats, no demo call.
Amabrik's chatbot runs on your own provider key (OpenAI, Anthropic, others). You pay the model provider directly at their cost. There's no per-resolution or per-conversation fee added on top, and no visitor or pageview caps on any plan.
Point the chatbot at your site and docs and it answers visitor questions from your own material. It answers visitor questions rather than routing them to a sales rep, with no human handoff, ABM, or pipeline workflows.
Anything the chatbot or forms capture is a pure pass-through, forwarded to your connected CRM, email tool, or webhook the instant it lands. Amabrik never stores, logs, or sells captured leads. There's no submissions table.
No Amabrik logo or link on your widgets, on any plan. The loader is under 5 KB, code-split and lazy-loaded, with heavy widgets in their own frame so the page stays fast.
Every row is a concrete fact. Drift figures verified as of June 2026; reported prices are third-party.

~$2,500per month (reported)
Drift's cost is enterprise seat-based and quote-led, climbing with each rep added, and the product is being sunset. Amabrik's chatbot stays at your flat plan price no matter how many visitors chat, and your only AI cost is what your provider charges you directly. See Amabrik pricing.
Drift is a sales-chat platform. Amabrik gives you an AI chatbot plus nine more widgets and two scanners from one snippet, with no Powered-by badge.
It depends on what you used Drift for. Enterprise conversational marketing with human rep routing, ABM playbooks, and Salesforce-grade integration is a separate, heavyweight category (Clari + Salesloft are sunsetting Drift). For what most sites actually need, an AI chatbot that answers visitor questions from your own content at a flat price, Amabrik is the better choice and much cheaper.
Yes. In early March 2026, Clari + Salesloft announced the gradual sunset of Drift and named 1mind as the successor they refer existing Drift clients to. Drift is being wound down rather than sold as a standalone product, which is why many teams are looking for an alternative now.
For most sites, by a wide margin. Drift's entry Premium plan is reported around $2,500/mo billed annually (about $30,000/yr) before seats and implementation, with figures rising from there. Amabrik is a flat $29/mo for 1 site ($23/mo billed annually) with no seats and no per-conversation fee. Note Drift's pricing was always quote-led, so those numbers are third-party reported.
No, and that's by design. Amabrik's chatbot is an AI answer bot trained on your content. It doesn't route conversations to human reps, book meetings into a rep's calendar, or run ABM playbooks. A live sales team chatting with prospects is a separate enterprise category. Most sites just want fast, accurate answers from their own material, and for that Amabrik is the right fit at a flat price.
You connect your own AI provider key (OpenAI, Anthropic, others) and point the chatbot at your site and docs. It answers visitor questions from your own material. You bring your own key, so you pay the model provider directly at their cost, with no markup and no per-resolution fee from Amabrik.
Amabrik isn't a forever-free public tool, but every plan starts with a 7-day free trial with no card, and there's a 14-day money-back guarantee. Drift historically had a limited free live-chat tier, but reports since the Salesloft acquisition indicate the public free plan is gone; either way, every paid Drift plan is enterprise-priced with an annual contract.
Straight to your own connected CRM, email tool, or webhook, the instant they land. Amabrik is a pure pass-through and never stores, logs, or sells captured leads. There is no submissions table. Amabrik is not a CRM.
The loader is under 5 KB, code-split and lazy-loaded, and heavy widgets run in their own frame. There are no visitor or pageview caps on any plan, so traffic spikes don't change your bill.
No. There's no Powered-by badge, logo, or link on any widget, on any plan.
One snippet adds 10 widgets total: cookie consent, banner, popup, forms, the AI chatbot, reviews, social feeds, social proof, bookings, and a chat button. It also includes two scanners, a Security scan and an SEO/AEO scan. Every plan includes all of them, with plans differing only by number of sites.
Yes. The snippet works on WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace, custom sites, and AI-built sites from Lovable, v0, Bolt, Cursor, and Framer.
