The Smarter Alternative to
Drift
Compare Daxow with Drift for conversational marketing and B2B sales automation.
What is Drift?
Drift invented the category of "Conversational Marketing." It is a sales-focused platform designed to ungate content and book meetings for B2B sales teams. Its bots are designed to qualify leads (BANT) and route them to account executives. While powerful for high-ticket B2B sales, it is extremely expensive and often overkill for support or general customer service.
The Good and The Bad
Why use Daxow?
Top Advantages
- Crazy Pricing: Drift's pricing is legendary. It often starts at $2,500/month paid annually. Daxow starts at $0. You can get mostly the same AI value for a fraction of the cost.
- Support vs Sales: Drift is aggressive. It wants to capture emails. Daxow is helpful. We answer questions first, building trust, which leads to sales naturally.
- No Sales People Needed: You don't need a "Drift Admin" to manage Daxow. It runs itself.
Why avoid Drift?
Common Drawbacks
- Adversarial UX: Drift bots often annoy users by refusing to answer until they give an email. This increases bounce rates.
- Heavy Widget: The Drift script is huge and can slow down your site load time significantly.
- Opaque Terms: Everything is a negotiation. You don't know what you are paying compared to others.
