Comparison summary

Most material score differences

These are the stored dimension rationales returned with each score. They explain the buyer conditions behind the gap without speculating about hidden model reasoning.

Contact data hygiene

16 pts

LeadDelta · 70/100: Deduplication is available within shared team networks starting on the Pro plan, but enrichment accuracy and completeness are bound to a strict credit-based system that varies by edition.
Sansan · 86/100: Automatic 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

9 pts

LeadDelta · 77/100: Core reminder and task features help prevent missed follow-ups, though the custom tracking feed is capped at 50 profiles on the entry-level Starter plan.
Sansan · 68/100: Sansan 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

6 pts

LeadDelta · 82/100: Search and filtering across synchronized connections support segmentation with tags and lists, and Business adds a LeadSearch people database, while lower editions lack that expanded discovery layer.
Sansan · 76/100: Sansan’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.

Contact organization quality	86Tags, lists, notes, and custom engagement feeds organize LinkedIn connections into a structured workspace, though custom-feed tracking on Starter is capped at 50 profiles and deeper team templates sit on higher editions.	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	79LinkedIn inbox and sidebar workflows surface contact context alongside notes and tags, but the product remains centered on LinkedIn relationship context rather than a broad multi-channel interaction timeline.	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	70Deduplication is available within shared team networks starting on the Pro plan, but enrichment accuracy and completeness are bound to a strict credit-based system that varies by edition.	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	77Core reminder and task features help prevent missed follow-ups, though the custom tracking feed is capped at 50 profiles on the entry-level Starter plan.	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	82Search and filtering across synchronized connections support segmentation with tags and lists, and Business adds a LeadSearch people database, while lower editions lack that expanded discovery layer.	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	78Shared workspace access begins on the Pro tier, while more granular privacy controls for templates, tags, and notes, along with SAML SSO, require the Business or Enterprise tiers.	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	69Connection synchronization frequency scales from once daily on Starter up to 15-minute intervals on Business, and external CRM handoffs are limited to selective exports rather than continuous bidirectional sync.	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.
