I have only used the free version of Calendly so it is not exactly a fair comparison. With both of my experiences with this software Chili Piper feels more robust, especially with integrations. Chili Piper integrates with Outlook, Salesforce, and Zoom. These are the 3 …
Chose Chili Piper
This is only comparing the meeting scheduling functions of which Outreach was easier for our reps to learn and use. Otherwise they cannot really be compared.
Chose Chili Piper
Calendly was being used at the company by some other departments and still is to some extent. However adding Chili Piper fore the marketing and sales departments was a no brainer once we saw the demo. It's Calendly on steroids and the company is just getting started using it. …
Chose Chili Piper
I've used Drift and Salesloft scheduling tools. They all connect to google calendars, but Chili Piper is the only that I'm aware of that can insert time suggestions without actually blocking the time off as well as Round Robin assignment of meetings. Chili Piper has been the …
Chose Chili Piper
I prefer using Chili Piper as compared to Calendly. Both are great tools but Chili Piper seems to align better with our team needs.
Chose Chili Piper
In the past I have booked with Calendly, but were unable to set up a true salesforce integration, and were not able to set up a marketo integration. Calendly is great for a simpler flow or for a 1:1 scheduling app, but for our team that is made up of different regions and uses …
Chose Chili Piper
The end result was more in line with what we were looking for. Our main objective was to allow people to go to the website and explore our content, and then easily schedule a demo without having to wait for someone to call them and set something up. Chili Piper created the …
Chose Chili Piper
Way better tool and far easier to use than Calendly. This is the full bundle from rev/sales ops to daily use across AE's and SDR's
Chose Chili Piper
I personally have never had experience with a platform similar to Chili Piper prior to this year.
Chose Chili Piper
When we were vetting we didn't find a tool that would match Chili Piper in functionality.
Few Sales Enablement tools work with Events and can match some of its functionality, but that wasn't good enough for our needs:)
Chose Chili Piper
ChiliPiper is far easier to use for scheduling on someone else’s calendar. The ability to add a link in emails for people to schedule onto our calendars is nice as well. Neither of these things is possible in Outlook by itself, so it’s nice that it helps with those things.
Chose Chili Piper
As a startup Google calendars were adequate. But as the company grew, the ability to schedule multiple teams and even multiple sales team we had to have a way to allow a logical way to see and schedule the appropriate team. Also giving customers to schedule with certain …

Chili Piper meeting booking is superior to Outreach

Chose Chili Piper
It stacks up well. Much more logic and ability to customize workflows and logic than Calendly, for example. The integration with Salesforce is also very strong. If you need advance scheduling logic, this is one of the strongest options in the market in my opinion. The ability …
Chose Chili Piper
We actually have not used any products like Chili Piper as of yet here at PitchBook. In my last role at Onerent I also did not use Chili Piper... the closest thing that we used was part of outlook/salesforce capability.
Chose Chili Piper
It's not even close. Chili Piper is way more robust and effective. The support time is world class and promptly fixes issues.

I selected Salestools.io at that time because of one single differentiator that I couldn't find with any other vendor: Email cadence on autopilot. But the feature was so buggy that I can't count it as a differentiator. All the rest of Salestools.io features are to be found in …

We have been trying KLENTY mainly, however, the Prospector of Salestools.io is quite superior. For both cases, the preparation of campaigns are not as easy as it sounds, but as soon as you do the first, it will be easier for your business. Salestools.io has a better and easier …

Salestools beat all of them based on data and the process, and as well their price and service beats the competition. Ask for the onboarding it is free!

It is very well suited for anyone looking for a scheduling tool that integrates directly with Salesforce and/or Marketo, or other marketing automation platforms. Especially if you need to route to teams based on different regions or other criteria.There are other simpler scheduling tools out there, but this makes routing and tracking on the back end much easier with the best integration with other tools.

Salestools really helped us set up a predictable pipeline and helped us scale our sales efforts. Before we did manually prospecting looking for customers using Stripe and then researched leads and build campaigns. With the Auto Prospector® I managed to do this 100% automated; we grew our business rapidly with Salestools. No data provider is 100% accurate neither is Linkedin and I must say Live Data® from Salestools is as good as Sales Navigator.

Cons
  • The ux interface could be easier to navigate for admins
  • The set up or meeting types could be more intuitive, as an admin I have had to help our reps set this up a lot as they have gotten confused
  • Chili Piper can have certain words they use like booker assignee which could be better defined in the onboarding process for reps

  • The company has a global focus, their revenue numbers on companies at first was weak but recently I have seen an improvement that gets closer to D&B levels and if they can improve radically there it is a huge plus.
  • I love IT Budgets, they started to roll it out, wish I had that earlier.

Support Rating
  • Support was very responsive during our integration phase, and after that too.
  • They have the whole infrastructure built to notify customers about bug/outages, which is excellent. Entire System outage only happened once, but being updated on fix progress helped a lot to keep our team calm.

We have been trying KLENTY mainly, however, the Prospector of Salestools.io is quite superior. For both cases, the preparation of campaigns are not as easy as it sounds, but as soon as you do the first, it will be easier for your business. Salestools.io has a better and easier interface and the webpage is superb. If you are looking just for follow-up, PLENTLY with doing, but if you need to find a prospect, Salestools.io is the service you need.

Return on Investment
  • More qualified opps
  • Increased efficiency. Much less time spent trying to line up availability etc. No more back and forth email chains trying to find times to meet.
  • Increased transparency. All meetings and Chili Piper events are logged directly in Salesforce for us.

  • Very negative ROI. We burned high-value contacts that were wasted on bugs, problems, and week-long delay in support responses.
  • Management is dishonest. As a business owner and entrepreneur that wish was told this before becoming a Saesltools.io client: Stay away.
