All-in-One Conversational Solution

Drift’s Startup Program is designed to help startups connect with modern-day customers. A lot has changed about the buying process in recent years. The new standard is now. People expect goods, information, responses, etc. to be delivered instantly and on their time.

You’re probably thinking, “there’s absolutely no way I can connect with every site user, let alone chat with them!” You’re right. You can’t. Don’t you love being right?

Instead, you’re going to build a Drift playbook to do the work for you.

The Drift Startup Program includes:

Drift Custom Chatbots
Tailor customer conversations and deliver the right message 24/7.

Drift Live Chat
Start real-time conversations with every website visitor.

Drift Meetings
Schedule sales meetings with website visitors 24/7.

Drift Reporting
Track and measure performance of key business metrics.

Drift Video
Send short and personalized videos to stand out from the crowd.

What integrations will this support?

Hubspot, Salesforce, Google Calendar, Webflow, Wordpress, Zapier, and more. View all our integrations in detail here.

What about pricing?

The startup program is an annual plan and has 3 pricing tiers.

We want to keep your costs as low as possible, and we base our pricing tiers on your company’s funding. Every year, when it comes time to renew your contract, we adjust your price point accordingly.

Tier 1: Less than $2M in company funding
Tier 2: $2M-$4.99M
Tier 3: $5M-$15M

Once accepted in the startup program, we will share the pricing with you for all three of these tiers before you purchase.

What happens when you outgrow the startup program criteria?! (50+ employees, $15M+ in funding, 5+ years old, or want more than the 20 seat limit). First, congratulations! 🎉🎉🎉 Second, rest assured, we will work with you directly to transition you to a plan that better fits your increasing needs and sets your business up for more success.

What about the backend?

Drift’s got you covered! API use is available to all customers free of charge. Get answers to all of your questions about Drift’s Developer Platform here.
