"Dreamdata tells you which campaigns influenced deals you already closed 6 months ago. Dealmayker tells you which leads are showing buying intent right now and how to reach them. When quota is due this quarter, you need leads ready to convert - not reports analyzing last year's marketing mix."
"Marketing ops loves attribution dashboards. Sales reps need qualified prospects with context. Dealmayker gives SDRs and AEs instant ICP fit scores, buying signals, and conversation starters - everything they need to book meetings and close deals. No dashboard analysis required."
"When your challenge is 'we don't have enough qualified leads', attribution analysis doesn't help. Dealmayker proactively discovers leads matching your ICP, detects buying intent in real-time, and provides personalized outreach angles. Generate pipeline first, optimize attribution later."
Unlike Dreamdata, Dealmayker shows you who's ready to buy, why they're in-market, and exactly how to approach them
Dreamdata is a revenue attribution platform for marketing teams - it analyzes customer journeys to show which touchpoints influenced closed deals. Dealmayker is a sales intelligence platform for sales teams - it finds qualified leads showing buying intent now and provides context to engage them. Dreamdata looks backward at what worked; Dealmayker looks forward at what's next.
Choose based on your primary challenge. If you need to prove marketing ROI, optimize ad spend, and understand which campaigns drive revenue, Dreamdata is purpose-built for that. If you need to fill pipeline with qualified leads, detect buying intent, and personalize outreach at scale, Dealmayker solves that problem. Most B2B teams need both - but if you're quota-carrying and pipeline is low, lead generation beats attribution analysis.
No - Dealmayker doesn't track customer journeys or attribute revenue to marketing touchpoints. We focus exclusively on proactive lead generation and sales intelligence. If you need multi-touch attribution, channel ROI analysis, and campaign performance measurement, Dreamdata is the right tool. Dealmayker helps you generate the pipeline that attribution tools later analyze.
They're complementary but serve different functions and users. Marketing ops uses Dreamdata to optimize spend and prove ROI. Sales teams use Dealmayker to qualify leads and book meetings. Many B2B teams use Dreamdata for marketing analytics while sales uses Dealmayker for prospecting - they address different stages of the revenue process.
Dreamdata detects intent through website visitor tracking and engagement patterns on your owned properties. Dealmayker detects intent through external signals: hiring patterns, job changes, funding announcements, social media activity, and company growth indicators. Dreamdata shows who's engaging with YOU; Dealmayker shows who's showing buying behavior across the market.
Dreamdata costs $99-499+/month for marketing attribution, journey mapping, and ROI analytics - optimizing how you allocate future marketing spend. Dealmayker costs $29/month for ICP matching, intent signals, qualification, and conversation starters - generating qualified leads you can reach out to immediately. Different value props: attribution analysis vs pipeline generation.
Dreamdata isn't built for prospecting - it's built for analyzing accounts already in your CRM and understanding which marketing touches influenced them. Dealmayker is purpose-built for prospecting: discovering new leads, qualifying them against your ICP, detecting buying signals, and providing outreach context. Sales teams using Dreamdata for leads are using the wrong tool for the job.
Start with Dealmayker to fill your pipeline with qualified leads - revenue comes from closed deals, not attribution reports. Once you have consistent pipeline and want to optimize your marketing spend allocation, add Dreamdata. But if you're choosing one tool and need revenue this quarter, lead generation beats spend optimization.
Dreamdata's ROI comes over months as you optimize marketing spend based on attribution insights - it's strategic and long-term. Dealmayker's ROI is immediate - start qualifying leads day one, detect buying signals, and book meetings within the first week. Different timeframes because they solve different problems: strategic optimization vs tactical execution.
Sales reps use Dealmayker daily - it's built into their prospecting workflow for qualification, intent detection, and personalization. Dreamdata is used by marketing ops and RevOps for strategic analysis - not a daily tool for reps. If you're equipping a sales team to hit quota, Dealmayker integrates into their actual workflow; Dreamdata provides insights for their leadership.
Dealmayker helps you continuously discover high-fit accounts, reach out when timing is right, and know exactly what to say.
