Clari flags pipeline risk. Zime fixes it with Living AI Playbooks that scale your top rep behavior across the team.

Comparison between Clari and Zime showing different approaches to revenue forecasting

Why companies like these
choose Zime over Clari

The Problem

Clari captures data, not deals

Clari captures activity signals but misses the quality of your sales conversations

Misses the Why Behind the Numbers

Clari logs activities but can't tell if discovery failed, objections were mishandled, or pricing missed the mark.

Forecasts Without Behavioral Enforcement

It flags at-risk deals but gives no real-time guidance, so reps keep repeating mistakes.

Rigid Dashboards, Shallow Insights

Custom fields and changes need heavy vendor support, leaving forecasts shallow and disconnected from real deal insights.

Context is what turns forecasts into actions

It's when your AI actually knows your GTM - your products, your messaging, your reps - and ties it directly to the outcomes you're chasing in a quarter.

The Solution

Close the gap between forecasts and actions with AI built for you

Zime doesn't just show you the pipeline risk, it helps you fix and scale it by shaping rep behavior in the moment.

Forecasts Grounded in Behavior

Zime doesn't just tally activities. Every deal is scored with real conversation insights, customer objections, and rep behaviors, giving you a forecast that reflects true deal health.

From Risk to Rep Action

When pipeline gaps appear, Zime doesn't just flag them. It assigns context-specific, just-in-time actions inside rep workflows to fix at-risk deals and move them forward.

Scaling Behaviors That Win

Every action is tied back to a Living AI Playbook built from your top reps and patterns from winning calls. Managers get precision coaching insights, while leaderboards and dashboards hold reps accountable.

Sounds great, but I have a few questions...

Is Zime a Clari alternative?

Yes. Clari is strong at forecasting, but it stops at visibility. Zime goes further by not only forecasting with behavioral signals but also enforcing the actions and playbooks that help reps win deals. If you're looking for a Clari alternative that actually changes revenue outcomes, Zime is the answer.

How is Zime different from Clari as a Clari competitor?

Clari captures activity data. Zime captures deal context. That means every forecast is enriched with real conversation insights, customer objections, and rep behaviors. Instead of dashboards that explain misses, Zime turns forecasts into deal-by-deal guidance your reps can act on immediately.

Why do sales leaders choose Zime over other tools?

Zime isn't just another pipeline visibility platform. It's the best sales AI software for CROs and sales leaders who want to operationalize strategy in the field. With Living AI Playbooks, just-in-time actions, and precision coaching, leaders can scale their top reps' winning behaviors across the entire team.

Can Zime replace Clari entirely?

Yes. Zime offers forecasting, pipeline visibility, dashboards, and reporting — but it adds the missing layer of behavior enforcement. This means you not only see where revenue is at risk, but you also know exactly how to fix it.
