Update (2026): Koala shut down on September 30, 2025 after its team joined Cursor (Anysphere). If you were evaluating Koala's pricing, there is no longer a Koala quote to compare against. See our guide to Koala alternatives for the full replacement landscape.
Short answer: since Koala is no longer available to price, the real budgeting question for 2026 is what its replacement costs. A standalone signal-triage tool (RB2B, Warmly, Pocus) typically lands in a low-five-figure-to-mid-market annual band. A full-stack platform that folds the signal layer into activation, Abmatic AI among them, starts at $36,000/year and replaces several separate line items rather than adding one more.
Full disclosure: Abmatic AI competes in this category. The framing below is Abmatic AI's read of the public replacement landscape as of 2026-07, meant to help teams budget for what comes after Koala rather than to price a contract that no longer exists.
- Koala's pricing (historical): before its September 30, 2025 shutdown, Koala used a contact-sales quote with tiered packaging gated on seats and data scope.
- What replacing it costs today: a like-for-like signal-triage swap (RB2B, Warmly, Pocus) is usually the cheapest path. A full ABM platform is a larger number but frequently a net saving once it replaces two or three other line items in the stack.
- Where the migration cost hides: re-instrumenting the website snippet, re-building Slack alert rules, and re-training reps on a new tool all cost time even when the new contract is cheap.
- What to ask any replacement vendor: seat math, data-volume math, renewal increase, cancellation policy, and whether the modules you saw in the demo are actually in the tier you are quoted.

Before its September 30, 2025 shutdown, Koala did not publish exact list pricing, it used a tiered subscription gated on seat count, data scope, and module footprint with a sales-led quote. That number is now moot. What matters for 2026 budgeting is the replacement, and the honest range spans from a low-five-figure signal-only tool to a $36,000-plus full platform, with the right answer depending on how much of Koala's workflow you actually need to rebuild.
Why this page changed from a pricing breakdown to a migration budget
This page previously broke down Koala's tier structure, entry, mid, and enterprise, so buyers evaluating Koala could plan a negotiation. Koala's shutdown made that breakdown historical rather than actionable. Displaced buyers do not need Koala's old tier structure, they need to know what it costs to close the gap Koala left. The sections below answer that question instead.
What a signal-only replacement costs
If Koala's job for you was strictly "alert the AE in Slack when a target account shows up," a like-for-like replacement is the cheapest path. RB2B starts from a low published monthly price for person-level US visitor identification. Warmly and Pocus sit in a low-five-figure annual range with usage-tier pricing. None of these publish Koala-era numbers to compare against directly, since Koala's pricing page is gone, but the category band has not moved meaningfully.
Watch for: the same cost-of-ownership traps that applied to Koala apply here too, add-on modules, premium support tiers, and overage fees on data ingestion. Ask for the fully-loaded year-one number, not the headline tier price.
What a full-stack platform costs, and why the math can still favor it
Abmatic AI publishes a starting figure of $36,000/year on the Abmatic AI pricing page. Contact + account deanonymization, web personalization, Agentic Outbound, Agentic Chat, AI SDR routing, and Google DSP plus LinkedIn and Meta ads are 15 or more modules on one contract. Teams that were running Koala alongside a separate personalization tool, a separate outbound tool, and a separate ad-buying tool often find the consolidated number is a net saving once those other line items come out of the stack.
How to run the consolidation math
List every tool in your current stack that does something Abmatic AI's module table above covers. Sum their contracted annual cost. Compare that sum, not the Koala replacement's headline price alone, against the $36,000-plus platform quote. The teams who run this math up front usually find consolidation closes more of the gap than the sticker price suggests.

The hidden cost of migrating off a shut-down vendor
Beyond the new contract, three costs are specific to migrating off a tool that disappeared rather than one you chose to leave:
- Re-instrumentation. The website snippet, CRM field mappings, and Slack alert rules Koala ran are gone with it. Budget engineering or ops time to rebuild them on the new tool, even a fast-to-deploy one.
- Historical data loss. Account scores and signal history tied to Koala's platform are not portable. Start the new tool's data collection immediately rather than waiting for a "clean" migration window that will not arrive.
- Rep re-training. AEs built habits around Koala's Slack format. Any replacement needs a short re-onboarding push or the new alerts get ignored the way old ones eventually would have.

Skip the manual work
Abmatic AI runs targets, sequences, ads, meetings, and attribution autonomously. One platform replaces 9 tools.
See the demo →What to ask any replacement vendor in your first call
- What is the exact price for our seat count and data volume in year one?
- Which modules are inside the tier you are quoting and which are line-item add-ons?
- What is the renewal increase clause and is it negotiable?
- What is the cancellation policy and the data-export commitment if we churn?
- What happens to our historical account and signal data if the vendor is ever acquired or shuts down?
- What is the implementation timeline to get the same Slack-alert coverage we had on Koala?
Negotiation tactics that move the number
- Bring a real comparison. A live alternative quote shifts the conversation from list price to relative value.
- Ask for a multi-year commitment in exchange for a flat renewal. Vendors trade discount for forecast certainty.
- Negotiate overage rates up front. Once they are in the contract, teams rarely revisit them.
- Bundle onboarding and support. Sellers under quota routinely bundle these in.
- Time the close. End-of-quarter and end-of-year windows produce the largest concessions.
Migration math: replace like-for-like or consolidate?
Replace like-for-like
If Koala's job was narrow, replace it with a similarly narrow, similarly priced tool. Faster to stand up, smaller budget ask, but you are one acqui-hire away from repeating this exercise.
Consolidate onto a platform
If your stack already includes a separate personalization tool, a separate outbound tool, and a separate ad tool, consolidating onto Abmatic AI often produces a net total-cost reduction even when the headline figure looks larger than a single point-tool quote.
Frequently asked questions
Can I still buy Koala or see its pricing page?
No. Koala shut down on September 30, 2025 after its team joined Cursor (Anysphere). There is no active pricing page or sales process.
What's the cheapest way to replace what Koala did?
RB2B at its published starting price is the lowest-cost like-for-like option, though it covers person-level US visitor identification only, not product-event scoring the way Koala did.
Is consolidating onto a full platform actually cheaper?
Only if you are currently paying for two or more of the modules a platform bundles. Run the line-item math from the section above before assuming either direction is cheaper.
What happened to Koala customer data?
Koala has not published a data-retention or export commitment following its shutdown. Assume any historical account or signal data tied to the platform is not retrievable and plan your new tool's data collection accordingly.
