How Magpie chose these alternatives
Every alternative shown sits in the same Sales category as Default, and clears Magpie's 3.0-overall score floor. We exclude tools that auto-disqualify on enterprise-only pricing or sunset status, and we rank by our six-dimension rubric: SME fit, JTBD clarity, integration and agent-readiness, trust, quality, and compliance.
