TL;DR: Upscale.ai Review

What happened: Upscale.ai, a multi-channel sales engagement platform, has quietly shut down. 

Their website is inaccessible, and their LinkedIn has been inactive for over a year.

Upscale.ai was a sales engagement platform that automated outreach across LinkedIn, email, and phone with pre-built playbooks, automated follow-ups, and basic CRM integration.

SalesRobot is a LinkedIn and email automation tool focused on safe, hyper-personalized outreach using AI-powered voice notes, video messages, smart commenting, and an AI Appointment Setter that handles conversations and books meetings automatically.

So let’s find out:

What was Upscale.ai used for?

Upscale.ai was a sales engagement platform, which had the ability to reach out across multiple platforms.

It helped sales teams manage outreach, follow-ups, and the entire sales pipeline automatically.

By automating these tasks, it allowed salespeople to focus more on engaging with prospects and closing deals.

Here's how it did it:

  1. Multi-Channel Outreach:

Upscale.ai let you reach your prospects through various channels like LinkedIn, email, and phone, all in one place.

This made it easier to connect with prospects wherever they were most active, whether that was checking emails, browsing social media, or picking up the phone.

  1. Automated Sales Playbooks:

The platform offered pre-built "playbooks," which were automated outreach sequences that guided sales reps through the right steps at each stage of the sales funnel.

Based on the prospect's behavior (e.g., opening an email, clicking a link), Upscale.ai would automatically send the right follow-up message, ensuring no one prospect was left out.

  1. Automated Follow-Ups:

Follow-ups were automated, so reps didn’t have to worry about remembering to send a second email or LinkedIn message.

Upscale.ai took care of this, ensuring that prospects received timely reminders without any manual effort.

  1. CRM Integration:

The tool integrated with popular CRMs, allowing sales teams to keep their data synced.

Whenever there was an update, like a new lead or a conversation, it automatically updated in the CRM.

This kept everything in one place and saved time spent on manual data entry.

  1. Sales Task Management:

For team leaders, Upscale.ai’s task management feature made it easier to assign and track sales tasks.

You could see which tasks were being handled, what was coming up, and where your team might need extra help.

  1. Analytics & Reporting:

Upscale.ai offered real-time analytics on sales activities, like tracking the performance of your sales pipeline.

It helped in understanding which outreach strategies worked, which leads were most engaged, and where you needed to improve, all based on data.

  1. Dialer & Call Recording:

Upscale.ai included a built-in dialer for making sales calls directly from the platform.

It also had call recording, so you could listen to conversations later, helping improve your sales pitches.

Plus, it had a voicemail drop feature that left automated voicemail messages when prospects didn’t pick up.

Why was it so popular?

Because it automated essential tasks, freeing up sales reps to focus on what really mattered: engaging with leads and closing deals.

But, since it's no longer available, let’s find out what actually happened to it.

What Actually Happened to Upscale.ai?

Here's what we know: Upscale.ai's website is now inaccessible, and its LinkedIn page hasn't seen activity in over a year. 

There's been complete silence—no updates, no posts, nothing from their team at all.

The timeline tells a concerning story:

  • 2023: Upscale.ai was actively serving customers as a multi-channel sales engagement platform
  • 2024: Social media activity ceased completely
  • 2025: Website became inaccessible, customer support went dark

But now that this multi-channel outreach platform is gone, where do you find a solution for this problem? 

Don’t worry!

SalesRobot: A Smarter, Safer, and Simpler Alternative to Upscale.ai

SalesRobot homepage

SalesRobot isn’t just a sales automation tool, it’s designed to make lead generation effortless.

Here’s why it outshines Upscale.ai:

Easy Lead Generation

Whether it’s LinkedIn events, groups, or CSV imports, SalesRobot pulls in prospects from almost anywhere.

Add prospects in SalesRobot multiple options.

You can even scrape up to 2,500 leads daily from LinkedIn searches or Sales Navigator.

Now that’s a number you wanna hear.

Hyper-Personalized Outreach

It’s hard making every message personalized for each of your prospects MANUALLY.

And it’s even harder to remember every detail about your prospects to make those messages feel personalized.

Which is whyyy…

Okay let me just throw the numbers first,

SalesRobot's personalized strategies have proven to drive up to an absolutely unbelievable 87% response rate.

So what does SalesRobot actually offer (in detail) ?

AI-Powered Voice and Video Messages

SalesRobot has voice and video note capabilities that make prospecting much easier.

Instead of typing the same message to every prospect, you can now record your voice once, and the AI creates personalized voice messages for each lead. 

Saves you hours, trust me!

And also adds a human touch to your outreach without eating up most of your day.

Voice messages in SalesRobot

You can also create video intros that feel personal so you sound like a real person who cares, not just a bot with an agenda.

Besides, as video messages get significantly higher response rates than text alone, this feature gives you a real edge in your outreach campaigns.

Priyanshu (from Dolta, a B2B lead generation agency) believes that hyper-personalization is the holy grail of marketing, and his use of AI and voice notes got him a 47% reply rate on his campaign.

AI Variables for Deeper Personalization

Beyond the standard first name, last name, company name, and job title personalization, SalesRobot offers AI Variables that work with custom prompts.

Which means the AI goes through your prospect’s profile, does all the reading, and opens with a highly specific message that feels entirely customized.

AI Variable configuration in SalesRobot

This means your outreach doesn't just feel personalized, it actually is.

You can create customized campaigns and message sequences, including engagement and follow-up messages, to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Smart Commenting for Better Engagement

When you set up a campaign in SalesRobot, you can add a "Like and comment" step. 

You have two options here. You can either add a comment with personalization tags (like first name, company name, etc.), OR you can use smart commenting.

Smart commenting uses AI to write relevant comments based on the post content. 

So instead of leaving generic responses, your comments actually add value to the conversation

This helps you get noticed by prospects in a natural, non-spammy way. 

Now they won’t automatically see your comments and flag you as a bot! 🤖

AI Appointment Setter -  Conversations Don't Stop at "Reply"

Most automation tools stop working once you get a reply. 

But what happens next? You still need to respond, qualify leads, and book meetings.

meeting booked by AI SDR

That's where the AI Appointment Setter comes in. When you turn this on, the automation doesn't end when you get a reply. 

It has two modes:

  • CoPilot Mode: The AI generates a reply based on your conversation goals, but lets you edit before sending. You stay in control while saving time.
  • Autopilot Mode: The AI generates and sends replies automatically based on goals you set. Perfect for high-volume outreach.

You can set specific goals (like booking a meeting, getting more information, or nurturing the lead), and the AI thinks based on those parameters.

And unlike us, it has infinite patience, perfect memory, and sounds less robotic than me after my 6th meeting of the day.

Jason from Nexa Mortgage, basically loved the AI Inbox Manager, saying it stopped him from missing out on leads and follow-ups, making sure that "engagement is happening in real time."

And now the latest update has even added a time awareness feature, meaning the AI can automatically schedule follow-ups based on what was said in the conversations.

If a prospect says "reach out next month," the AI understands that and schedules accordingly. 

So now you won’t end up ghosting a potential lead like a bad Tinder date just because you got busy with 15 other things on your plate.

For example, this lead said let’s connect in Jan, so the AI scheduled the sequence 56 days after Nov 5.

AI scheduling the sequence as per conversation

All things considered, SalesRobot is a terrific alternative for lead-generating organizations and sales teams since it features an easy-to-use interface and supports many LinkedIn profiles.   

Pricing

And of course, this is a major factor when you are selecting a tool.

Well… if you are thinking that with all these features, we’re crazy expensive or planning to rip you off…

Here’s a nice surprise for you! 

Rachel saying Surprise!

Our plans start at just $59/month and include all premium capabilities, so you can automate your cold email and LinkedIn outreach without going over budget.

And you even get a 35% discount if you pay annually. How cool is that?
