Drift Alternatives in 2026: 11 Tools After the Drift Sunset

What happened to Drift, what it did that you need to replace, and 11 alternatives grouped by what the visitor gets: a product demo or a chat. Every fact comes from the vendor’s own site.

Checked 26–27 September 2026 · Written by Floe, one of the tools listed

Clari + Salesloft announced the gradual sunset of Drift in March 2026 and refers Drift customers to 1mind; no end date has been published. The replacements split in two. Chat and AI SDR tools (Qualified, Warmly, Chili Piper, Fin, HubSpot Customer Agent) talk with visitors and book meetings. AI demo agents (Floe, Karumi, Naoma, Docket, 1mind, Storylane RepX) also show the visitor your product. Every entry is checked against the vendor’s own site.

How this list was made. Floe wrote this page and is listed first because it is ours; the rest are alphabetical within each group. Each entry quotes the vendor and links to where it said so. Where a vendor’s site does not say something, the entry says so instead of guessing. Vendors: if anything here is out of date, email hello@floe.so and we will correct it.

What happened to Drift

On 5 March 2026 Clari + Salesloft announced the gradual sunset of Drift, its conversational marketing product, and said it will refer existing Drift customers to 1mind as the successor under an exclusive agreement (Clari + Salesloft). drift.com now redirects to a Salesloft page that says it has moved from Drift to 1mind. From 30 May 2026, 1mind is a subprocessor for the Salesloft and Clari services, Drift included (Clari + Salesloft Trust Center).

No end date has been published. The release says only “gradual sunset”. The 60-to-90-day window quoted in some articles comes from a competitor’s blog, not from Clari + Salesloft.

What to replace. Drift combined live chat with your team, bots that qualify and route, and meeting booking. The tools below split along one line: the chat and AI SDR agents talk with the visitor and book a meeting, and the AI demo agents show the visitor your product in the same conversation.

Where Floe fits, and where it does not. Floe is an AI demo agent, not a chat inbox. It runs a live, voice-led demo in your real product, answers questions, qualifies the visitor and books the meeting, but your team cannot chat with visitors through it. If live chat with your reps was the main thing Drift did for you, choose a chat tool below, and consider Floe alongside it on the demo call-to-action.

Operate your real product

The vendor says its agent navigates your actual product while the prospect watches. Ask each one which account it logs into and what it does at an MFA prompt.

Floe

How it talks: Voice-led demo; the website agent takes text or voice; optional video avatar
Qualifying and booking: Asks up to eight of your qualification questions; summary to Slack, Microsoft Teams or email (HubSpot and Salesforce enabled on request); booking through your Cal.com or Calendly

How to choose a Drift alternative

What did Drift do for you? Drift did three jobs: live chat with your team, bots that qualify and route, and meeting booking. List which of those you actually used before you compare tools. Few replacements do all three.

Do your reps need to chat live? If your reps chatted with visitors live, you need a chat tool with an inbox (Qualified, Warmly, Chili Piper). AI demo agents such as Floe have no inbox for your team.

Should the visitor see the product? A chat agent answers and books a meeting. An AI demo agent shows the product in the same conversation. If buyers ask to see the product before they talk to sales, the second closes that gap.

What will the vendor do to move you? Chili Piper and Warmly offer free migration, and Warmly says it will match your remaining Drift contract price. Qualified runs a switch programme. Ask each vendor what they will do for a Drift customer.

How is it priced? Per seat (Chili Piper), per year (Warmly), per outcome (Fin, HubSpot), per demo or by demo volume (the demo agents). Work out the cost for your traffic, not the entry plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Drift being shut down?

On 5 March 2026 (6 March on the wire release) Clari + Salesloft announced the gradual sunset of Drift, its conversational marketing product, and said it will refer existing Drift customers to 1mind as the successor under an exclusive agreement. drift.com now redirects to a Salesloft page that says it has moved from Drift to 1mind.

When does Drift stop working?

No end-of-service date has been published by Clari + Salesloft. The 60-to-90-day window repeated in some articles traces to a competitor's blog, not to Clari + Salesloft. Ask your Salesloft account team for your own date.

What is the best Drift alternative?

It depends on what Drift did for you. For live chat with your team plus AI qualification, look at Qualified or Warmly. For routing and booking from forms and chat, Chili Piper. For a low-cost AI chat agent, Fin for Sales or, if you run HubSpot, HubSpot Customer Agent. If you want the visitor to see the product rather than chat about it, an AI demo agent such as Floe, Karumi, Naoma or Docket.

Is Floe a replacement for Drift chat?

No. Floe is an AI demo agent: it answers questions and runs a live, voice-led demo in your real product, qualifies the visitor and books the meeting. It has no inbox for your team to chat with visitors. Teams that relied on Drift's live chat pair a chat tool with Floe on the demo call-to-action.
