Ken is our productBest Outreach Alternatives (2026)
Ken (our product) is the top Outreach alternative for a published price with unlimited seats. Next: Salesloft for enterprise teams that want cadences, calls and forecasting, then Apollo.io for teams that want data, sequences and a dialer.
Ken is our product. We list it first, and every fact about other tools comes from their public pages on the date shown.
Should You Switch From Outreach to Ken?
In short Ken's view: switch if you want a published price, unlimited seats, and email and LinkedIn in one sequence; stay on Outreach if you run a large Salesforce or Dynamics team and want sequences, a dialer, call intelligence and forecasting from one vendor.
Ken or Outreach?
Ken's view: Ken publishes its prices and includes unlimited seats, and its LinkedIn steps run in the same sequence as email instead of as manual tasks. Ken has no phone dialer, so a team that works from a call queue needs another tool.
Pick Ken if
- you want a published price: Platform is $200/month for unlimited seats and workspaces, with 200,000 sends and 5,000 credits a month
- you want email and LinkedIn steps in the same campaign
- you want contacts from 250M people and 24M companies in the same product
Pick Outreach if
- you run a large Salesforce or Dynamics team and want sequences, a dialer, call intelligence and forecasting from one vendor
- you want AI agents sold as per-user seats plus credits, and you are fine buying through sales
