The fine print
From Salesloft’s own pages, which now serve drift.com, Aug 5, 2026.The product has been retireddrift.com redirects to salesloft.com, and Salesloft states it has transitioned from Drift to 1mind. Buying Drift today means buying something else under a new name, on Salesloft terms.
You are migrating either wayCustomers on the old product face a move regardless. That makes it the right moment to ask whether the replacement is the tool you actually want, rather than the one your vendor picked for you.
Pricing was never publicDrift published no prices and Salesloft continues that, pointing you to contact sales for anything specific. Budgeting starts with a call and a quote.
Built for B2B sales, not supportThe product exists to turn website visitors into pipeline for sales teams. If what you need is to answer customer questions across chat, WhatsApp and email, that was always a different tool.

Common questions
Is Drift shutting down?
Drift has been folded into Salesloft: drift.com redirects there, and Salesloft says it has transitioned from Drift to 1mind chat agents. Existing customers still log in, but the Drift product is no longer sold as its own thing.
What is the best Drift alternative?
It depends what you used Drift for. For qualifying website visitors and answering their questions, Invent runs an AI agent on your site, WhatsApp, Instagram and email, with a shared inbox and a CRM behind it, from $29/mo a month.
How much did Drift cost?
Drift never published pricing, and deals were negotiated with sales, typically as annual enterprise contracts. Salesloft does not publish pricing either.
Is Invent a replacement for Drift?
For most teams, yes, and it is not identical. Invent is stronger on support resolution, messaging channels and price transparency; Drift was purpose-built for enterprise B2B pipeline generation and ABM plays alongside a sales engagement suite.
How do I migrate from Drift?
Book a short migration call. We rebuild your playbooks as agent instructions, connect your website and channels and import your contacts, so you land somewhere you chose.
