Drift is built for mid-size to large sales teams with big budgets, not small businesses. The AI chatbots and visitor identification tools are genuinely impressive, but starting around $2,500 per month puts this way out of reach for most small business owners. You'll find better value with tools like Intercom or Tidio that offer similar chat features at a fraction of the cost.
