Strengths
Where Each Platform Wins
Where Demandbase Wins
- Full ABM suite — advertising, personalization, sales intelligence, and orchestration in a single platform. If you need all of it, Demandbase delivers.
- Account identification at scale — IP-based visitor identification across large volumes of web traffic.
- Native advertising — ABM ad targeting at the account level, built into the platform.
- Deep integrations — extensive bi-directional connections with Salesforce, HubSpot, Marketo, and the rest of the enterprise stack.
Where Mavin Wins
- People, not accounts — Demandbase says "Acme Corp visited your website." Your rep still has to figure out who to call. Mavin says "Sarah Johnson, VP Sales at Acme, researched your CEO on Tuesday." Your rep is reaching out in minutes.
- Team aggregation — Mavin captures research across your CEO, product team, and entire org. When three people from the same account research different team members, that's a buying committee forming. Demandbase doesn't touch LinkedIn research signals.
- Earlier timing — LinkedIn research happens before website visits. Prospects vet your team before they ever hit your site.
- Real buying committees, not inferred ones — Demandbase infers committees from org charts and job titles. Mavin shows you committees based on actual coordinated research behavior.
- Live in 5 minutes at $90/month — no months-long implementation, no six-figure contracts.

Mavin identifies the specific people researching your team on LinkedIn before they reach your website. Together, you see the full picture — from early LinkedIn research through mid-funnel website engagement.
