Sales Navigator is a LinkedIn search and messaging tool that helps you find profiles and send InMails. Dealmayker is a sales intelligence engine that analyzes leads to tell you who fits your ICP, why they'll care about your solution, and when to reach out. Sales Nav shows you profiles; Dealmayker tells you what to do with them.
Absolutely! Many teams use both together. Use Sales Navigator to find LinkedIn profiles, then use Dealmayker to instantly analyze those profiles and get qualification scores, intent signals, and conversation starters. Or use Dealmayker to discover leads, then connect on LinkedIn via Sales Navigator.
Sales Navigator requires exact keyword matches in job titles, companies, or descriptions. Dealmayker understands meaning and context - if you're looking for 'companies scaling their sales team,' we find leads even if they say 'expanding revenue operations' or 'hiring SDRs.' You discover opportunities Sales Navigator's rigid filters miss.
It depends on your use case. If you primarily use Sales Navigator for lead research and qualification, Dealmayker is a more intelligent and affordable replacement. If you heavily rely on LinkedIn InMail for outreach or need specific Sales Navigator features like TeamLink, you might use both tools together.
Sales Navigator costs $99-$149/month per seat. Dealmayker starts at $29/month with no seat minimums and monthly billing. For most teams, Dealmayker provides better intelligence.
Perfect! Use Dealmayker to layer intelligence on top of Sales Navigator. When you find profiles in Sales Nav, use Dealmayker to instantly qualify them and get personalized outreach angles. Many teams find this combination more powerful than either tool alone.
