Context

SalesRobot is a hybrid LinkedIn + email outreach platform with a heavy AI-first positioning (auto-generated icebreakers, conversation-style sequences). Per-account pricing starts at $43/account/month on Growth (annual). Best for solo founders and 2-5 person teams who want AI-heavy automation ; less compelling for agencies running 10+ accounts.

SalesRobot works well for its core ICP, but teams routinely shop alternatives once they run into per-account economics don't scale for agencies or hit the platform's pricing ceiling. We compared 10 serious alternatives below, with a fit-decision matrix sized to real procurement criteria (budget, workflow shape, team size, geography).

Our top recommendation for SMB + freelance use cases : Derrick App from €20/month. The full comparison below maps each of the 10 options to a specific buyer profile so you can shortlist quickly.

What you might lose

AI icebreakers are best-in-class for the price tier

Bundled email + LinkedIn in one sequence
Multichannel campaigns (LinkedIn message → email → LinkedIn voice note) live in a single sequence builder, not two tools wired together. The integrated email-finder removes the Hunter-or-Apollo step f…
Support team responds in minutes, not days

The verdict

Verdict : which SalesRobot alternative to pick

Final recommendation by profile : SalesRobot's alternatives fall into 4 clear buckets depending on what you optimise for.

  • For Sheet-anchored workflows : Derrick App is the clear pick from €20/month. Enrichment runs in the web app or right in the Sheets sidebar, period.
  • For the lowest entry price : Dux-Soup starts at $11.25/mo (Pro Dux, annual) - fits tight budgets with workable feature surface for long-time linkedin automation users + budget sdrs.
  • For closest head-to-head match : Closely is the most direct comparable to SalesRobot on positioning + price ($49/sender/month).
  • For enterprise depth : the top of the price tier (Cognism, ZoomInfo, 6sense, or category-specific enterprise platforms) delivers proprietary data + procurement maturity.

SalesRobot is a defensible default for its ICP. These alternatives become relevant when a specific constraint (pricing, workflow shape, compliance posture, geographic coverage) tips the scale. Trial 2-3 candidates head-to-head before committing.

What is the best SalesRobot alternative in 2026?

+
The best alternative depends on your use case. For no-install enrichment (web app, Sheets, Claude, API), Derrick App (free plan, then €20/month). For linkedin outreach automation similar to SalesRobot, Closely is the closest comparable on positioning + price. For the cheapest entry point, Dux-Soup starts at $11.25/mo (Pro Dux, annual).

Is there a free SalesRobot alternative?

+
Several alternatives offer free tiers : Derrick App (free plan, 100 credits per month, no card), Apollo (Free forever with 10K credits), and Hunter (limited free tier). Derrick's free plan renews 100 credits every month, with no card and no trial clock, so an evaluation can run as long as it needs to. Most paid alternatives start in the $10-50/month range for solo use.

How does SalesRobot pricing compare to its alternatives?

+
SalesRobot starts at $43/account/month. Comparable alternatives range from $11.25/mo (Pro Dux, annual) (cheapest) to enterprise custom contracts ($1K-10K+/year) at the high end. The right comparison isn't just headline price - factor in credit caps, seat fees, and bundled features per tier. Derrick App's 20 EUR/month entry plan is unique in giving you 10,000 credits to spend row by row in its web app, Google Sheets, Claude or the API.

Can I switch from SalesRobot to a tool that also runs in Sheets?

+
Yes - Derrick App is built specifically for this migration. Export your data from SalesRobot as CSV, then import it into the Derrick web app, or paste it into Google Sheets and use the Derrick sidebar (pick the feature, map your columns) for enrichment. No platform onboarding, no Zapier integration to maintain. Most teams complete the switch in under 30 minutes.

Which SalesRobot alternative is best for linkedin outreach automation?

+
For pure linkedin outreach automation use cases, Closely is the closest like-for-like alternative. For broader feature coverage including linkedin outreach automation + adjacent workflows, Apollo or Reply.io bundle more in one platform. For web app or spreadsheet data workflows, Derrick App from 20 EUR/mo replaces the data layer of any linkedin outreach automation tool.
