Best Clari Alternatives in 2026

Why teams look for alternatives

Teams look for Clari Forecast alternatives for three reasons. Pricing is quote-only with no published seat rate, which smaller organizations often cannot justify. Some teams want conversation intelligence or engagement as the primary purchase and forecasting as a by-product, rather than the other way round. And teams already standardized on a CRM frequently prefer forecasting native to it over a separate platform to integrate and maintain.

Clari Forecast is built for organizations that have to defend a number: pipeline analytics, AI forecast predictions, deal inspection and forecast variance tracking, with the engagement side of the platform sold alongside it. That focus is also what sends people looking. The alternatives below divide into revenue intelligence bought for its own sake, forecasting that comes native to a CRM, and lighter pipeline tools for teams that do not need enterprise-grade forecasting at all.

Choose Gong when conversation intelligence and rep coaching matter more than the forecast. It records and analyzes calls, surfaces deal risk from what was actually said, and coaches reps on it, with forecasting layered on top rather than at the center. Quote-only.

Choose Outreach when you want forecasting attached to the engagement platform your reps already work in. Sequencing, deal management, conversation intelligence and forecasting sit in one system, which suits teams whose forecast problem is really an execution problem. Quote-only.

Choose Salesforce Sales Cloud Einstein when the CRM is Salesforce and consolidation matters more than best-of-breed forecasting. Einstein forecasting, deal insights and pipeline analytics run natively on the data already in the CRM, with no second platform to sync. Plans start from $25/mo.

Choose HubSpot Sales Hub when you want forecasting, pipeline management and deal insights inside the same system as marketing and service, at a published price. Plans start from $7/mo billed annually.

Choose Backstory when the gap is activity capture rather than forecast modelling. Formerly People.ai, it connects email, meetings, calls and CRM into direct answers for revenue leaders, which helps most when the underlying activity data is the thing nobody trusts. Quote-only.

Choose Ebsta when you want an independent forecasting specialist rather than a module of a larger platform. It focuses on forecast accuracy, pipeline qualification and seller productivity, and it is the smallest vendor on this page, with a correspondingly narrower feature surface. Quote-only.

Choose Pipedrive AI when the team is small enough that enterprise forecasting is more machinery than the problem needs. Visual pipeline management, AI deal recommendations and email integration cover it. Plans start from $14/mo billed annually.

Choose Close CRM when the team runs high-velocity inside sales and wants calling, email and pipeline in the CRM itself rather than in a layer above it. Plans start from $9/mo billed annually.

The decision usually comes down to where the forecast should live. Teams that need a defensible enterprise forecast as a discipline in its own right are choosing between Clari Forecast, Ebsta and Backstory, all quote-only. Teams whose forecast is downstream of execution are better served by Gong or Outreach. Teams that want to stop maintaining an integration should look at forecasting native to their CRM in Salesforce Sales Cloud Einstein or HubSpot Sales Hub. And teams under a few dozen reps will usually find Pipedrive AI or Close CRM enough, at a price they can read on a page.
