Choose Outreach if

- You need published commercial mechanics before negotiating: pricing transparency reads 2.0 vs 0.5 with six judges leaning Outreach; the captured pages show Outreach's commercial mechanics publicly, though no per-seat or tier price appears.
- Your data-residency review requires that an EU hosting option exists: Outreach's data residency attribute is an EU option, and its verdict describes EU hosting offered as an option under a non-EU contracting entity; Salesloft's sovereignty attributes are listed as unknown.
