Akoonu RevWorks vs. Backstory

Akoonu is a 100% Salesforce-native revenue AI and forecasting platform for B2B sales and revenue operations teams. Its platform, RevWorks, brings forecasting, pipeline reviews, scenario planning, quota management, and revenue AI together in one place — running entirely inside Salesforce, so your data never leaves your org.

Backstory (formerly People.ai) is the Revenue Answers Platform for GTM leaders. Revenue leaders ask the same questions every day: Is this deal real? Where's my risk? What do I focus on next? Backstory gives you straight answers - grounded in 100% of actual revenue activity, not CRM guesses. With more than a decade of training AI models on billions of sales interactions, Backstory connects every signal to the right accounts and opportunities and delivers answers where you already work - whether that's your CRM, Claude, Copilot, or other AI tools you already use.
