Alternatives to Common Room

Common Room still sells, still publishes a price, and is now owned by Zoom. That combination is the whole problem. Nothing has been withdrawn, and nothing has been promised either — so a renewal decision has to be made against a roadmap that does not exist in public.

This page is the exit map, plus the case for not exiting. Read the migration-cost section before you price anything, because the number that decides this is not the subscription.

What actually changed

Zoom announced the deal on July 2, 2026 and closed it the same month. CEO Linda Lian and the Common Room team joined Zoom. Zoom’s stated plan is to fold Common Room’s buyer intelligence and RoomieAI agents into Zoom Revenue Accelerator, its revenue orchestration product.

What Zoom has not said matters more. There is no sunset date for the standalone product, no migration path, and no public commitment to existing customers. Zoom Revenue Accelerator’s own product and pricing announcement on July 22, 2026 — Essentials at $66 per user per month and Premium at $99.99 per user per month, both billed annually — does not mention Common Room, Person360, or RoomieAI anywhere. Three weeks after the close, the acquired capability had not surfaced in the acquirer’s price list.

Meanwhile the product is unchanged and still priced. Essential is $2,500/month billed annually: 5 seats, up to 100k contacts, 5k RoomieAI credits, 2.5k Prospector credits, 240k website activity events per year, and 100 phone enrichment credits. Advanced raises that to 15 seats, 250k contacts, and 480k website activity. Enterprise reaches 30 seats, 750k contacts, 960k website activity, and unlimited website de-anonymization. Only Essential carries a published number; Advanced and Enterprise are quote-only.

Split the job before you shop

Common Room bills three products through one meter, and no single alternative below replaces all three:

1. Website de-anonymization — resolving anonymous traffic to people and accounts.
2. Identity resolution and the signal graph — Person360 merging CRM, product, community, and social activity into one contact timeline.
3. Agentic prospecting — RoomieAI research, Prospector credits, and the plays that run off a signal.

Price each one separately. A team that only ever worked the website slice is looking at a $199/month replacement. A team that bought the community graph is looking at a rebuild.

Warmly

Warmly replaces the first job and adds engagement on top of it. Entry is AI Web-Deanonymization at $10,000/year, Inbound Chat at $20,000/year, and AI Inbound Autopilot at $30,000/year, each starting from 10K credits/month. Quarterly billing costs about 30% more — $4,875 for the entry tier.

Move to Warmly when: in-ICP inbound traffic was the signal actually producing meetings, and you want a rep able to act while the visitor is still on the page rather than the morning after.

Don’t when: your Common Room value came from GitHub, Slack, Discord, or job-change signals. Warmly has no equivalent surface, and buying it to replace a community graph swaps one problem for a worse one.

RB2B

RB2B is the cost floor and the fastest test of whether the website slice was ever worth $2,500/month. Free is $0 for 150 monthly resolutions at company level only. Starter is $79/month for 300 resolutions with LinkedIn URLs pushed to Slack and no email addresses. Pro starts at $149/month and adds business email plus every integration. Pro+ starts at $199/month for premium resolution — contact-level identification on roughly 35–45% of US traffic, against 15–20% on the lower tiers. Overage runs $0.25 per resolution on Pro and Pro+, $0.45 on Starter, and extra domains are $99/month for up to five.

Do the arithmetic before anything else. Common Room Essential is $30,000/year. RB2B Pro+ is $2,388/year. If the website slice was the part you used, you are paying a 12x premium for two capabilities you are not touching.

RB2B markets a Demandbase pairing at 70–80% resolution. Read that as two resolution types added together — person-level US plus company-level global — not as a person-level match rate.

Move to RB2B when: your traffic is US-heavy, an SDR works Slack alerts, and you already own a sequencer.

Don’t when: your traffic is European, or the account timeline — not the individual alert — was the thing your team opened every morning.

The routing between these two is already documented: Warmly vs RB2B.

Clay

Clay replaces the third job and lets you rebuild the second yourself. Launch is $167/month billed annually ($185 month-to-month) for 15,000 Actions and 3,000 Data Credits. Growth is $446/month annually ($495 monthly) for 40,000 Actions and 6,000 Data Credits. Seats are unlimited on every tier, including Free.

Two thresholds decide it. Web intent signals, CRM auto-sync, HTTP APIs, and webhooks all start at Growth — so $446/month is the real floor for a Common Room replacement, not $167. Below that you get waterfall enrichment and job-change signals, which is a partial answer to job two and none of job three.

The seat math cuts in Clay’s favor. Common Room Essential includes five seats and prices the sixth by quote. Clay’s $446/month covers your whole team.

Move to Clay when: someone on the team already builds in Clay, and you want the signal-to-play logic as tables you control rather than plays a vendor ships.

Don’t when: nobody owns it. Clay is a build surface. Bought without a builder, it becomes a $5,352/year subscription to an empty workspace.

Unify

Unify is the closest structural match — signals in, sequenced plays out — and it has repriced to a per-seat model. Free covers up to 3 seats. Base is $20/seat/month with 800 credits per seat. Pro is $60/seat/month with 2,400 credits per seat. Business is custom, billed annually.

The published prices do not buy the replacement. Website intent, product signals, signal-triggered automations, and read-write CRM sync are all Business-tier features. Base and Pro get you prospecting, sequencing, and AI copy — the outbound half — while the signal half sits behind a quote.

Move to Unify when: you want plays executed for you rather than assembled, and entering a sales cycle is acceptable.

Don’t when: the reason you are on this page is that you are tired of quote-only renewals. You would be trading one for another.

Stay on Common Room when

• You are Zoom-resident. If Zoom Revenue Accelerator is already in your stack, the announced direction points at you, and Essentials at $66 per user per month is a cheaper landing place than any three-vendor rebuild. Verify the capability exists in the SKU before you count on it — as of August 15, 2026 it is not in the published tiers.
• Your signals are community-shaped. GitHub stars, Slack and Discord activity, podcast mentions, job changes. Nothing on this page reproduces that connector set, at any price.
• The account timeline is the product to you. Person360 merges activity across sources into one contact record. Rebuilding that in Clay is a project, not a purchase.
• Renewal is more than six months out. The product is unchanged and priced. Waiting costs nothing and Zoom’s intentions get clearer.

The guard on staying: negotiate the term, not the rate. A 12-month commitment prices roadmap uncertainty correctly. A three-year deal at a discount does not.

The migration cost nobody prices

Export gets you rows, not resolution. Common Room exports Contact, Organization, and Activity data to a shared S3 bucket, and contact lists straight from the UI. What no export carries is the merge logic — the decisions that say this GitHub handle, this Slack member, and this CRM contact are one person. That graph is the product. You will rebuild it at the next vendor from whatever identifiers they resolve on.

Signal history is an asset with no export format. A job-change alert needs a prior state to compare against. A new vendor starts at zero, so budget 60–90 days during which change-based signals produce nothing regardless of which tool you picked.

Community connectors are the non-portable part. Warmly, RB2B, Clay, and Unify are all built around website, CRM, and third-party data. None of them ingests a Discord server.

Use the MCP server and CLI on the way out. Common Room ships an official MCP server plus a CLI, both able to pull contact and activity data programmatically. That is the cheapest extraction path available, and it only works while the contract is live. Run it before you cancel, not after.

Verdict

If you cannot decide, renew for twelve months and spend the year extracting. The product works, the price is published, and every exit on this page is either partial or a rebuild. Buying yourself a year of clarity on Zoom’s intentions costs $30,000 and is the cheapest option on the table when the alternative is a migration executed on incomplete information.

• RB2B at $199/month if the website slice was the part you used — the 12x arithmetic makes this the first thing to test
• Warmly from $10,000/year when inbound traffic deserves live engagement, not just an alert
• Clay at $446/month when you have a builder and want the plays under your own control
• Unify when you want plays run for you, accepting a quote-only tier to get the signal half
• Stay when the graph is community-shaped or Zoom Revenue Accelerator is already yours

If none of them fit — you want Person360’s resolution across community, CRM, and product data, sold standalone, from a vendor with no strategic owner — that product is not currently for sale anywhere else. Rebuild it in pieces instead: identity resolution in Clay, website identification in RB2B, and the plays wherever your sequencer already lives. Read signal orchestration for how those pieces fit, and the GTM engineering stack for what owning them costs in headcount.
