What is SalesQL?

SalesQL is shipping prospecting depth at a measured pace — saved searches, team seats, multilingual UI.

SalesQL focuses on contact enrichment and prospecting on top of LinkedIn data. The recent shipping cadence is sparse but coherent: saved searches and richer company filters in Prospector, extra seats for team subscriptions at $10/seat, Spanish UI as a first step toward multilingual support, expanded contact export fields, and earlier this year a Reverse Email Lookup capability inside CSV Enrichment. There's no visible move into AI-driven outreach or scoring — the product remains a data-extraction-and-enrichment tool, not a sequencing or signals platform.

What is Streak?

Streak wires automations to email and call activity, turning Gmail CRM into an event-driven workflow engine.

Streak is deepening its Gmail-native CRM position by tying automations directly to email threads, calls, and meeting notes — any new activity in a pipeline box can now trigger an automation. The Claude connector (one-click MCP integration) and an expanded MCP server for creating/updating records complete a trifecta of LLM-adjacent features shipped over the past few months.

SalesQL vs Streak: editorial side-by-side

S0.0

SalesQL is shipping prospecting depth at a measured pace — saved searches, team seats, multilingual UI.

◆ Current state

SalesQL focuses on contact enrichment and prospecting on top of LinkedIn data. The recent shipping cadence is sparse but coherent: saved searches and richer company filters in Prospector, extra seats for team subscriptions at $10/seat, Spanish UI as a first step toward multilingual support, expanded contact export fields, and earlier this year a Reverse Email Lookup capability inside CSV Enrichment. There's no visible move into AI-driven outreach or scoring — the product remains a data-extraction-and-enrichment tool, not a sequencing or signals platform.

◆ Where it's heading

SalesQL is making the existing surface more useful for power users (saved filter sets, exportable enrichment fields) and starting to widen its addressable market through team plans and localization. Compared to the broader prospecting category — Apollo, Clay, Lusha, ZoomInfo — SalesQL's positioning looks deliberately narrower: a focused enrichment tool that doesn't try to become a workflow engine. That can be a defensible niche or it can be a slow squeeze depending on how much pricing pressure the larger tools apply.

◆ Prediction

The most likely next moves are more language additions to Prospector, deeper export/integration capabilities (Salesforce, HubSpot, CRM-native pushes), and possibly an enrichment-API tier that widens the developer-facing surface. AI-assisted outreach features would be a natural step but the cadence so far doesn't suggest urgency.

Streak logo6.3

Streak wires automations to email and call activity, turning Gmail CRM into an event-driven workflow engine.

◆ Current state

Streak is deepening its Gmail-native CRM position by tying automations directly to email threads, calls, and meeting notes — any new activity in a pipeline box can now trigger an automation. The Claude connector (one-click MCP integration) and an expanded MCP server for creating/updating records complete a trifecta of LLM-adjacent features shipped over the past few months.

◆ Where it's heading

Streak is moving from a passive data store (CRM you update manually) toward an active workflow layer (CRM that reacts to what happens in your Gmail). AI citations, the Claude connector, and expanded MCP capabilities collectively suggest Streak's differentiation will be depth of LLM integration for a Gmail-native context — not competing with Salesforce on breadth.

◆ Prediction

The next likely move is AI-generated pipeline updates triggered by email activity — automations that don't just fire when email activity happens, but read the email content and fill in deal fields based on what was discussed.
