Agentforce runs autonomous, per-action agents on top of Salesforce and Data Cloud. SealDeal takes the opposite stance: augmentation you approve, every next step grounded in evidence and gated on your methodology, with a built-in holdout on your own pipeline as a reference, and a free CRM to start, no Data Cloud project required.
SealDeal is the Salesforce Agentforce alternative for teams that want the rep to stay in control. Agentforce runs autonomous agents and bills per action, usually on top of a Data Cloud project; SealDeal proposes every next step for a human to approve, cites the evidence behind it, gates stages on your qualification methodology, and starts as a free CRM with no data-platform work first.

Yes, and you do not have to cut over to do it. SealDeal has a two-way Salesforce connection built for coexistence: it imports your accounts, open opportunities, contact roles and logged activity, matched on the Salesforce record ID so re-running it never duplicates anything, and it mirrors SealDeal activity back. You can leave Salesforce as your system of record and use SealDeal for the grounded next step, or move the pipeline over and keep Salesforce read-only. Imported deals also stay out of the win-probability model until they have accrued real signal in SealDeal, so you never get a confident score computed from an empty record.
Stay on Salesforce if you need its depth: heavy custom objects and Apex, a large admin team, procurement that is already standardized on it, or org-wide reporting other departments depend on. SealDeal deliberately does not reproduce that surface area. The realistic path for a Salesforce shop is coexistence, Salesforce keeps the system of record and SealDeal supplies the grounded next step, rather than a rip and replace.
SealDeal is a free CRM for the whole team, with no seats. You pay only for the intelligence it produces, measured in actions: a researched prospect is 10, a deal review 5, a questionnaire answer 1. Plans start at $100 a month for 1,000 actions and the Team plan is $400 a month for 5,000; Free includes 300 actions to start, with no card. Agentforce is priced per agent action, typically alongside a Salesforce edition and often a Data Cloud commitment, so its cost tracks usage volume while a SealDeal plan is a flat monthly amount for a published number of actions.
Both are supported, but coexistence is the common one. SealDeal is a full CRM and can be your system of record, and it also has a two-way Salesforce connection for the case where Salesforce stays the system of record and SealDeal supplies the grounded next step, mirroring activity back.
Grounded outbound means every factual claim in a draft traces to a source you can click, and anything the engine inferred rather than found is labeled as inferred. Claims that cannot cite a source are blocked before a rep ever sees them, so what reaches the rep is short enough to actually check before they put their name on it.
No. SealDeal researches each company and contact itself and reasons over your own deal records, so the engine has evidence to cite on day one. There is no separate data-platform build to fund before the first grounded recommendation.
Because an ungrounded autonomous send is the failure mode that burned the category, and it burns the sender domain and the buyer relationship, not the vendor. SealDeal researches, drafts and recommends; the rep approves. Autonomy is earned per motion once the measured results justify it, rather than granted by default.
