Showpad merged with Bigtincan under Vector Capital in October 2025, and customers of both are being moved onto one platform. If you are comparing Showpad alternatives before your next renewal, here is how SoloFire stacks up: built for medical device and life science field teams, with offline-first content, branded Spaces, SCORM training, and AI coaching in one app, at a published $30 per user per month. Teams switch for reliability in hospitals and ORs, pricing stated on the page, and analytics that reps get too, not just marketing.
Our back end was built specifically to empower your marketing team. A user-friendly admin platform that looks as good as your sales app — manage content and reps seamlessly, with powerful metrics along the way.
Everyone gives analytics to marketing — reps deserve them too. The proactive Pulse dashboard gives reps instant access to their own metrics on how they share and present content, the moment they open the app.
AI coaching, the LMS, analytics, and distributor access are in the platform, not in a tier above the one you bought. $30 per user per month, everything included.

| Category | SoloFire | Showpad |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | Published: $30 per user per month, everything included. | Not published. Third-party listings put the top tier, which is the one that includes coaching and AI, at about $50 per user per month. Lower tiers exist but exclude the capabilities compared here. Implementation is quoted separately. |
| Time to live | Hours, not weeks — teams are typically live within a day. Live and recorded training for admins and reps included. | Weeks to months. Reviews flag large-scale onboarding as time-consuming. |
| Customer support | Real humans with named touchpoints — you talk to people, not a ticket queue. Onboarding, training, and ongoing help included. | Tiered support plans; premium tiers gate some services. Post-merger support consolidation with Bigtincan ongoing. |
| Industry focus | Built for medical device, diagnostics, and life sciences. Coaching scenarios shipped for indication calls, OR conversations, distributors, payers. | Horizontal platform with a medical device vertical page. Not purpose-built for the regulated MedTech sales motion. |
| Content management | One centralized library, online or offline. Native iOS, Android, Windows, Mac apps. Permissions by user, role, or group. | Strong content management. Reviews flag slow admin loading and inconsistent search. |
| 3D / AR content | Supports GLB / glTF 3D files and augmented reality content. Render quality and AR depend on the viewer hardware (AR-capable phone, tablet, or headset), same as any platform. | Markets 3D and AR product visualization heavily (inherited from Bigtincan). Same hardware dependency applies on the customer side. |
| LMS / training | SCORM courses, certifications, and product training inside the same app reps use to sell. 360-degree video and VR training supported. | Coach module for onboarding and training. Some training features (PitchIQ, AI test questions, Mutual Action Plans) moved to Learn+ / Collaborate+ add-ons. |
| AI coaching / role-play | AI role-play with realistic personas (cardiologist, hospital admin, distributor, payer), tone, scenario, and difficulty. Voice or text. Scored against your playbook. Manager visibility on what reps practice and where they struggle. | Roleplay AI launched March 2026. AI capabilities gated to Advanced and Expert tiers — not available in Professional. |
| Company AI | AI trained on your actual content (PDFs, videos, training). Reps can ask questions across the library, chat with any document, get smart recommendations. Auto-tags and describes new content. | Genie Assistant for content discovery. AI search gated to higher tiers. Some features still being integrated post-Bigtincan merger. |
| Buyer engagement | Branded Spaces — trackable, customized landing pages per prospect. Reps see what each contact opened, when, and for how long. Instant engagement alerts. | Shared Spaces digital sales rooms with collaborative features. |
| Rep dashboard | Pulse Dashboard — every rep sees their own metrics, content trending, contact timeline, and how they compare to the team. Built for reps, not just marketers. | Analytics historically built for marketing and enablement leaders. Less rep-facing visibility on personal performance. |
| CRM integrations | Salesforce, HubSpot, and Dynamics 365 auto-logging included — plus a built-in Contact Manager for reps without a CRM seat. | CRM integrations available. Some CRM recommendation features gated to the Expert tier. |
| Mobile experience | Native iOS, Android, Windows, Mac. Full feature parity. Offline content access by design — built mobile-first. | Mobile app reviews flag missing features and inconsistent performance vs. desktop. |
| Customization | Fully branded experience (app, URLs, email templates) included. Reps build presentations from approved slides with Slide Presets. | Reviews flag design customization as limited compared to competitors. |
| Vendor stability | Independent. Same team, same focus, same roadmap. | Acquired by Vector Capital and merged with Bigtincan, October 2025. Two product lines being unified. Roadmap commitments worth getting in writing. |
