LeadGenius is a managed research service where human researchers + AI build custom datasets tailored to your specific needs over days/weeks. Dealmayker is a self-service intelligence platform that instantly qualifies any lead in under 30 seconds. LeadGenius excels at complex, niche research projects; Dealmayker excels at real-time sales intelligence for daily prospecting workflows.
Choose based on your workflow. If you run quarterly campaigns targeting very specific, hard-to-research niches and can plan weeks in advance, LeadGenius delivers highly customized datasets. If you need to qualify inbound leads immediately, analyze prospects on LinkedIn in real-time, or adapt targeting daily, Dealmayker's instant intelligence matches modern sales velocity.
Dealmayker uses semantic ICP matching - describe your niche criteria in plain language (even complex ones like 'B2B SaaS companies using Python for data pipelines who recently expanded into Europe'), and AI finds matches instantly. LeadGenius excels when you need human verification of extremely obscure data points (like satellite imagery for solar installations). For most B2B sales targeting, semantic matching is faster and equally accurate.
LeadGenius has human researchers globally who can verify contacts in challenging markets like LATAM, EMEA, and APAC. Dealmayker analyzes any public profile or company worldwide instantly - no geographic limits. For standard B2B sales intelligence, Dealmayker covers global markets. For markets with limited public data requiring deep human research, LeadGenius adds value.
LeadGenius typically delivers custom research in 1-2 weeks minimum, with ongoing projects taking longer. Dealmayker qualifies leads in under 30 seconds. When you discover a hot prospect, need to respond to an inbound lead, or want to analyze someone you just met, waiting weeks isn't viable. Instant intelligence keeps pace with modern sales velocity.
LeadGenius combines AI with human researchers for verification, delivering high accuracy for complex custom research. Dealmayker uses AI to analyze publicly available data with 85%+ accuracy for ICP fit and intent signals. Both are accurate - the question is whether you need human verification (adds weeks) or AI speed (adds seconds). For most sales workflows, AI accuracy is sufficient.
With LeadGenius, changing targeting requires new research requests and turnaround time. Dealmayker lets you update ICP criteria instantly and start analyzing new segments immediately. This flexibility is critical for early-stage companies iterating on ICP, or sales teams discovering new verticals. Test new targeting in minutes, not months.
LeadGenius costs $500+/month with project minimums for managed research services. Dealmayker costs $29/month for unlimited ICP changes and instant analysis. If you need one custom research project quarterly, LeadGenius makes sense. If you need daily sales intelligence for ongoing prospecting, Dealmayker delivers 95% lower cost with zero waiting time.
LeadGenius excels at mapping complete buying committees through human research - identifying all stakeholders in complex enterprise deals. Dealmayker focuses on instant qualification and intent detection for individual leads. For account-based selling needing full committee mapping, LeadGenius adds value. For qualifying and engaging leads quickly, Dealmayker is purpose-built.
Fast-moving teams need instant intelligence. When you discover prospects at events, get referrals, or find leads on LinkedIn, you need qualification and context immediately - not in 2 weeks. Dealmayker's self-service model matches this velocity. LeadGenius fits teams running planned campaigns with stable targeting who can wait for perfect research. Speed is often more valuable than perfection in sales.
Dealmayker helps you continuously discover high-fit accounts, reach out when timing is right, and know exactly what to say.
