Backstory alternatives for teams without an enterprise budget.
Backstory is priced and built for enterprise revenue teams, and says openly it is not a rep productivity tool. For a smaller team that needs to know which deals are real, Kaypo does it at $99 a month, live the same day, with a model you can see and change.
Backstory
revenue intelligence
Backstory is aimed at CROs and VPs of Sales at companies like Red Hat, AMD and Palo Alto Networks.
Quote only pricing, with most teams live in two to four weeks.
The reasoning engine is proprietary. Its conclusions are not traceable to weights you control.
Kaypo
deal scoring, delivered to Slack
The same core question, which deals are real and what to do about them, answered for a team of ten rather than a team of a thousand.
A morning Slack message per rep with the reason beside every number, because a score nobody opens is worth nothing.
The whole model visible and editable, and proven against your own closed deals by a back test that runs on day one.
Published pricing, self serve, a 14 day trial with no card, and no seat minimum to clear.
Which one answers your question.
If you have a revenue operations function, an enterprise procurement process and a month to onboard, the enterprise platforms are built for you. If you have forty open deals and a Monday, Kaypo is the one that is actually available.
