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.

Interaction history and context

48 pts

Sansan · 80/100: Tracks 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.
SharedContacts.com · 32/100: The product centers on shared labels and Google Contacts presence rather than capturing interaction history, activity timelines, or conversation context against each contact.

Contact data hygiene

44 pts

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.
SharedContacts.com · 42/100: Duplicate cleanup depends on each affected user performing Google Contacts’ manual merge workflow, which limits centralized hygiene control across a shared population.

Follow-up reliability

36 pts

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.
SharedContacts.com · 32/100: No native follow-up tasks, reminders, or sequenced outreach controls are established, so teams cannot rely on the product itself to drive contact follow-through.

Cons	Numeric pricing and total implementation cost are not publicly stated. A minimum of 10 users and a standard one-year term are stated. Initial digitization, optional features, scanner sets, SAML, Outlook sync, and Salesforce integration may add cost.	Each person who accesses shared contact lists needs a license, including the subscription manager. Subscriptions require full prepayment and automatically renew for the selected monthly or annual period. Taxes are excluded from the displayed price and vary by region.
Contact organization quality	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.	78Organizations can structure contacts using Google contact labels and sync directories via LDAP, though directory contacts remain view-only for shared users.
Interaction history and context	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.	32The product centers on shared labels and Google Contacts presence rather than capturing interaction history, activity timelines, or conversation context against each contact.
Contact data hygiene	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.	42Duplicate cleanup depends on each affected user performing Google Contacts’ manual merge workflow, which limits centralized hygiene control across a shared population.
Follow-up reliability	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.	32No native follow-up tasks, reminders, or sequenced outreach controls are established, so teams cannot rely on the product itself to drive contact follow-through.
Search and segmentation	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.	59Segmentation is achieved through shared Google contact labels, but the platform does not specify any advanced search tools.
Sharing and permissions	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.	92User-level and group-level permissions on contact labels, internal domain sharing, external domain and Gmail sharing, and ownership transfer give precise access control for collaborative contact lists.
Import, export, and sync quality	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.	85The system monitors changes in both directions with Google Contacts on an hourly or manual trigger, although continuous instant sync is not supported.
