Salesloft is a full sales engagement and forecasting platform. Its LinkedIn steps are tasks a rep completes by hand. Outvelo actually sends on LinkedIn, across many accounts, within safe limits.
This isn't a like-for-like swap. Salesloft covers email, calls and forecasting; Outvelo covers automated LinkedIn. Some teams keep Salesloft and run LinkedIn in Outvelo.

Not according to Salesloft's help center: its Sales Navigator steps are completed manually by the rep, and AI can draft InMail copy without sending it. Outvelo sends connection requests, messages, InMail and voice notes automatically.
Yes. Keep Salesloft for email, calls and forecasting and run LinkedIn in Outvelo. Signed webhooks and the API can pass replies and accepted invites into your CRM or other tools.
Any automation carries some risk, which is why Outvelo paces every account: jittered daily caps, a rolling weekly invite ceiling, working hours, and a one-toggle Shield mode for new or at-risk accounts. Salesloft avoids that risk by not automating LinkedIn at all.
