Compare · Crossbeam
A Crossbeam alternative that runs the whole partnership, not just the map
Crossbeam is excellent at account mapping and partner data overlap. It helps teams securely compare customer and prospect lists with partners to find shared accounts and warm co-sell opportunities, and it has become a standard for ecosystem-led growth and partner intelligence.
Partnerships covers the full lifecycle around that intelligence. Our AI BD agent discovers ideal partners ranked by a transparent fit score, drafts outreach you approve, onboards them, and tracks referral and co-sell revenue, all in one place. You still get co-sell visibility, but you also get the prospecting, outreach, and tracking that turn an overlap into closed revenue, on flat SaaS pricing with no cut of partner revenue.

Mapping is the start, not the finish
Knowing which accounts overlap is valuable. We add the steps that follow: find net-new partners, reach out, onboard, and track the revenue that results.

Account mapping needs an existing connection. Our AI discovers and ranks ideal partners you are not yet linked to, so your ecosystem keeps growing.
