Drift is shutting down.
Here’s where your qualification motion lands.
Drift is reportedly being sunset by Salesloft/Clari, and customers are being pointed at 1mind — a narrower product with no visitor de-anonymization and no intent data. Acumen is the Conversation Revenue Platform built to be your migration landing spot: it reads visitor intent on every message, scores the lead in real time, and hands your CRM a record your reps can act on. Verify the sunset details on Drift/Salesloft’s own site.
A sunset, a short clock, and a replacement that does less.
The March 2026 sunset announcement put every Drift customer on a migration clock — many on a 60–90 day windowdepending on their contract. That’s not much time to evaluate, stand up, and validate a replacement without a gap in coverage on your highest-intent channel: your website.
The recommended path, 1mind, is a narrower product. On public materials at time of writing, it drops visitor de-anonymization and intent data— the exact capabilities most Drift buyers were paying for. Moving there can mean paying to lose the thing that made Drift worth it.
The migration question isn’t “what’s the cheapest chat widget.” It’s “what keeps my sales team getting qualified, context-rich leads the day after Drift goes dark.” That’s the job Acumen is built for.
Not a contact and a transcript. A qualified lead.
Acumen classifies intent on every message, scores the lead in real time, and pushes a complete record into HubSpot, Salesforce, or GoHighLevel before your rep returns the call — the qualification depth Drift buyers don’t want to lose in the migration.

Migrate off Drift in three steps — no coverage gap.
Export your Drift data
Pull your contacts, conversation history, and playbook logic out of Drift while your account is still active. It’s your data — get it before the sunset date. Your CRM already holds the leads that matter.
Run Acumen alongside during the wind-down
Stand Acumen up in about 10 minutes and let it run in parallel with Drift. Compare the CRM records each hands your sales team on real traffic — no flowchart authoring, no consultant, no gap while you evaluate.
Cut over before your contract lapses
Once the lead quality is confirmed, remove the Drift snippet and keep Acumen. Your website keeps qualifying visitors the day after Drift goes dark — with a richer CRM payload than you had before.
Drift sunset & migration — common questions
Is Drift actually being shut down?
Drift was reportedly sunset by its owner Salesloft/Clari, announced in March 2026, with existing customers pointed toward 1mind. Timelines vary by contract, and many teams are being given a 60–90 day migration window. Verify the specifics for your account on Drift/Salesloft's own site — but if you're reading this, you likely already got the notice.
Why not just move to 1mind, the recommended path?
1mind is a narrower product than Drift was. Based on public materials at time of writing, it does not offer visitor de-anonymization or intent data the way Drift did — the exact capabilities most Drift buyers were paying for. Acumen keeps the qualification motion intact: per-message intent classification, real-time lead scoring, and a rich CRM payload. Verify current 1mind capabilities on their website before deciding.
How long does migrating off Drift take?
Acumen is self-serve and live in about 10 minutes — point it at your site, pick the playbook, connect your CRM. There is no flow-design consultant and no six-week implementation. Most teams run Acumen alongside their Drift wind-down, confirm the lead quality on real traffic, then cut over before their Drift contract lapses.
Can I run Acumen alongside Drift during the wind-down?
Yes — that's the recommended migration path. Keep Drift live until its sunset date, stand Acumen up in parallel, and compare the CRM records each one hands your sales team on real traffic. When you're confident, remove the Drift snippet and keep Acumen. No hard cutover, no coverage gap.
What does Acumen hand my sales team that Drift did not?
A qualified lead, not just a contact and a transcript. Every conversation lands in your CRM with a 0–100 lead score, the intent tier at each stage, the topics discussed, pain points surfaced, budget signals, sentiment trajectory, an AI-generated summary, and a link to the full transcript with reasoning — before your rep returns the call.
