| Pricing and trial | Dex has two paid individual plans: Premium at $12 per month and Professional at $20 per month. The pricing page presents monthly, quarterly, and annual selectors, but the publicly captured content does not bind the displayed amounts to a specific selector state. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current term… | Sansan publishes no numeric price. Buyers request a tailored quote; the official pricing page identifies initial digitization, license, option, and scanner-set components. Sansan states a standard one-year term and at least 10 users, but public sources do not establish payment timing, renewal terms, or cancellation te… |

| Cons |
|
|
| Contact organization quality | 83Relationship-focused profiles consolidate personal notes and history into a single contact record across mobile, web, desktop, and extension surfaces, giving individuals a coherent personal directory while remaining outside team CRM structures. | 88A company-wide business-card and contact database with organization trees and relationship visibility lets teams maintain a single governed view of accounts and people, which directly supports large-scale contact organization. |
| Interaction history and context | 82Email and calendar relationship context, LinkedIn updates, and stored notes supply prior-interaction background for follow-up conversations, with Outlook metadata and thread context available only on Professional. | 80Tracks email, call, meeting, and sales histories alongside Salesforce opportunity data, but the Contact Inbox signature extraction tool is limited to Gmail and Exchange Online within Japan. |
| Contact data hygiene | 73LinkedIn job-title updates, two-way device-contact sync, CSV import, and full export or account-deletion controls help refresh and retire records, though broader automated deduplication or enrichment controls are not established. | 86Automatic and manual duplicate combination together with AI-assisted and human-verified card digitization give buyers concrete tools to keep contact records consistent as volume increases. |
| Follow-up reliability | 83Features dedicated keep-in-touch reminders and structured follow-up workflows across mobile, web, browser extension, and desktop interfaces to help individuals manage communication intervals. | 68Sansan supports targeted contact lists and engagement tracking, which can help teams manage follow-up, but the facts do not establish automated sequencing or a bidirectional Outlook sync, so follow-up support is useful but bounded. |
| Search and segmentation | 59Contact profiles with notes and history support locating relationship context for personal use, while dedicated segmentation sets, advanced filters, or list-building controls are not established as distinct product capabilities. | 76Sansan’s targeted contact lists and company-oriented database support segmentation and retrieval for outreach, while CSV export gives an additional way to work with selected records; the facts do not establish full advanced search breadth beyond those functions. |
| Sharing and permissions | 22Designed exclusively for individual users and lacks collaborative capabilities such as shared contact ownership, permission hierarchies, or team workflows. | 77The shared company-wide database is designed for governed multi-user access and includes two-factor authentication, with SAML 2.0 available as a paid contract option, though fine-grained permission models are not detailed. |
| Import, export, and sync quality | 83Includes instant two-way device sync, CSV importing, and complete data export, but limits LinkedIn capacity based on plan level and reserves Outlook, multiple email accounts, and API/Zapier access for the Professional plan. | 63Sansan supports CSV contact import and export and offers optional Outlook and Salesforce integrations, but Outlook sync is one-way and every 30 minutes, so interoperability is present while synchronization depth remains limited. |
