Are you worried about your Highspot investment?
The Highspot/Seismic merger has created 12–18 months of product uncertainty. While they audit features and navigate a complex backend migration, your revenue goals can’t wait. Don’t let your sales team become collateral damage to their roadmap debt. Showpad is the stable, field-first alternative — already trusted by 2,000+ global organizations.
2,000+ global companies rely on Showpad.
Why companies choose Showpad
“Customers feel like they’re getting the information they need quickly and easily — right in the palm of their hands.”
A partner that’s here for the long run
For nearly 15 years, Showpad has invested in its customers, products, and people. Every Showpad customer — regardless of spend — gets a dedicated relationship manager, 99.1% response SLA, and a team of enablement advisors aligned to your maturity journey. Highspot has significantly reduced its customer success headcount; accounts under $100K no longer receive a dedicated CSM. When evaluating platforms, ask both vendors the same question: "Who is accountable for my success after I sign?"
Sell the way your buyers expect — online or offline
Meet buyers on their terms: in a boardroom, on a factory floor, or without a wifi signal. Showpad’s immersive showroom experiences, 3D/AR product presentations, and two-way collaborative microsites give field reps tools that close deals. Highspot’s desktop-centric design wasn’t built for this — and G2 reviewers agree.
Where Highspot falls short (G2 reviews)
- Limited customization options for content presentation
- Challenges integrating engaging sales materials
Right content, right moment — without the maintenance burden
Before a meeting, after a call, or deep in a sales cycle — reps need to find the right content without thinking about it. Showpad’s AI-powered search, smart tagging, and guided selling flows surface what matters in the moment. Migrating from Highspot? Reps say the content chaos gets worse before it gets better.
Where Highspot falls short (G2 reviews)
- Accumulation of outdated content leading to inefficiencies
- Time-consuming content maintenance processes
A platform that fits your stack — not the other way around
Showpad is built on an open architecture with bi-directional CRM integrations, full API access, and the flexibility to embed custom workflows directly into the platform. Highspot’s limited customization options restrict how your teams actually work. And with a merger underway, API stability is an open question.
Where Highspot falls short (G2 reviews)
- Lack of meaningful ways to engage buyers
- Fewer options for personalization and customization
Showpad vs. Highspot — what's the difference?
While both platforms offer content management, seller coaching, and analytics, Showpad is the only revenue effectiveness platform built for your Industry. A field-first architecture, open extensibility, and stable roadmap make Showpad the lower-risk, higher-performance choice for complex selling organizations.

What the merger means for your team
When Highspot and Seismic decided to merge, every product feature went on the audit table. Features get cut. Roadmaps get frozen. Account teams get reshuffled. Ask your Highspot rep: “Which workflows your reps rely on today are guaranteed to survive the integration?” If they can’t answer, that’s your answer.
