Frequently asked questions
- How much does Drift cost?
- Drift's pricing is not publicly listed and requires a sales conversation, but it typically starts in the thousands per month for enterprise teams. FrontFace is free during beta. For startups, the cost difference is the decision.
- Is there a free alternative to Drift?
- FrontFace is free during beta and handles AI support and lead capture for small teams. For conversational marketing features aimed at enterprise B2B sales pipelines, there isn't a direct free equivalent — Drift targets a different audience with a different budget.
- Can FrontFace do what Drift does for a startup?
- For the support and lead capture functions, yes. FrontFace answers customer questions, captures contact info, and routes high-intent leads. It doesn't replicate Drift's ABM targeting, Salesforce routing, or enterprise sales features — but those aren't startup-scale needs.
- What is Drift mainly used for?
- Drift is primarily a conversational marketing and sales tool — it routes target accounts to specific sales reps, runs account-based playbooks, and integrates deeply with enterprise CRM and marketing automation. It's a revenue acceleration tool, not primarily a support tool.
