Agentforce runs autonomous, per-action agents on top of Salesforce and Data Cloud. SealDeal takes the opposite stance: augmentation you approve, every next-best-action grounded in evidence and gated on your methodology, with the lift measured by a built-in holdout, 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 move 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.

Choose SealDeal when you want a rep-in-control engine you can audit and verify, without per-action pricing or a data-platform project.
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 move, 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 move, rather than a rip and replace.
SealDeal is $25 per seat per month for the full CRM and $69 per seat for Pro, which includes the grounded AI next-best-action and holdout lift measurement. Outbound is metered separately from $49 per month. Agentforce is priced per agent action, typically alongside a Salesforce edition and often a Data Cloud commitment, so its cost tracks usage volume while SealDeal Pro is a flat per-seat price.
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 move, 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 the rep is never the last line of fact-checking.
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.
Salesforce figures as of 2026. SealDeal's differentiators, grounded next-best-action, methodology-as-a-gate, and holdout-measured lift, are enforced in the product; this is our comparison, so verify against each vendor's current docs.
