Side by side
Overview
Outreach (now at outreach.ai) describes itself as an AI agent platform for revenue teams. It covers sequencing and engagement, conversation intelligence and coaching, deal and pipeline management, account planning and forecasting. Its 2026 releases added Outreach Omni, a chat interface for asking questions and taking actions, Agent Studio for building custom agents, and agents for meeting prep and deals.
Outreach is built for established sales organisations: SDRs, account executives, managers and RevOps working inside a CRM such as Salesforce. The core workflow is reps working sequences of emails, calls and tasks, with AI handling research, follow-ups and pipeline updates. LinkedIn steps run as tasks through the LinkedIn Sales Navigator integration.
Outreach pricing is not published; it is quote-based. The pricing page describes per-user seats plus consumption-based AI credits across four Amplify packages, with no free plan or self-serve trial listed. Ghost publishes one plan at $99, £79 or €89 a month with every feature included, a 7-day free trial and cancellation at any time.

Which should you choose?
Outreach requires a sales conversation to get pricing, and its packages are designed around seats plus AI credits. Ghost can be started on a 7-day trial and includes a 600M-contact database, LinkedIn and email sequences and a built-in pipeline. For a small team without RevOps, Ghost is quicker to evaluate. Outreach makes more sense as the team and process mature.
Outreach's Amplify Pro package includes forecasting, and Plus adds conversation intelligence and deal management, aimed at leaders running many reps. Ghost's pipeline tracks deals, reminders and revenue by source, but it does not offer forecasting or call recording. If forecast accuracy across a large team is the main goal, Outreach is the better fit.
In Outreach, LinkedIn steps are Sales Navigator tasks a rep opens and completes, such as viewing a profile or sending a connection request, and the integration needs a Sales Navigator Team or Enterprise licence. Ghost runs LinkedIn and email steps in one sequence, pauses on reply and threads replies into a unified inbox.
