Overall Uniques in Market Place
Onsite Engagements / Lead Gen - None of these companies have rolled this in as part of their offerings
1 Tap Leads
Watchlists
Dynamic Landing Pages
Fully automated, multi-segment, personalized email content - If they are doing anything in this area its a single generic message sent to everyone
Pricing - We are most often significantly cheaper than other products we might be compared against
Shopper Suite / Full Throttle / STREAM
ShopperSuite: The Ultimate Closed-Loop Marketing Solution | FullThrottle
Overview
This is the oldest and best known product in the space. Their anonymous visitor identification methodology is very similar to ours. We don't know if they are as good / better / or worse at identifying traffic than we are but we do know that their engagement technology is much worse.
Differentiators
Limited offer customization and segmentation
Use ONLY “Why Buy” messaging for all shoppers - no personalization based on shopper interests. Seems to only be one active message running per website.
Pricing & Spending
Offer a cheap "View only" platform option, pricing increases quickly for actually engaging shoppers.
HARD push on buying advertising impressions...can push cost up to $4-5k or more per month
Most ad spend driven via retargeting (Google/FB)
Very basic engagements
Nothing on-site
Emails have no review content
No lead-gen components: claim offer, SMS, etc
No dynamic landing pages
Seems like they only send a single email per shopper and no nurture campaigns
Shopper Suite Pro
They seem to have some improvements Coming in July 2022 . Based on the website - most of these improvements would only be on better offer segmentation

Recapture: WeDrive / Force Marketing
WeDrive - Loyalty. Conquest. Control.
Overview
In general, very similar to shopper suite with bolted on BDC management
Differentiators
Pricing starts at $3,495...scales to $4,495
No reviews in emails
No dynamic landing pages
Doesn’t have a lead conversion generation product
RoiQ: DealerX
Overview
More of an Ad platform than anything else - Probably not a true competitor. Email is offered within it at an extra charge, but it seems like the email portion of the platform is probably conquest type campaigns vs identified visitors on the site.
Differentiators
Looks to be completely driven by ad spend
We don't have exact pricing info but have heard of clients spending 10-20k/month with them.
Additional fee for email inclusion
No reviews in emails
No dynamic landing pages
Doesn’t have a lead conversion generation product
Apollo: Team Velocity
Make the Switch to Apollo® - Team Velocity, fueled by Apollo
Again more of an Ad platform with conquest email + direct mail incorporated. Looks to require a more fully integrated relationship with Team Velocity including EITHER using them for SEM and/or using their website platform in order for technology to work.
Differentiators
Pricing seems much higher - 10k range
Client Command
Similar to DealerX platform. Pricing at least 10k/month. Focused on ad spend/OMNI Channel approach.
M1 Data + Resellers
Data as Service - M1 Data & Analytics
This is a common anonymous visitor identification platform that many dealers have used without much results. They are resold through lots of people but generally pitch themselves around a "Smart Pixel", "Cookieless Pixel", etc on the website .
Their technology does not seem to accurately identify visitors, just generates a huge list of names and emails. They take this list and drop it into the CRM and let the CRM send generic emails to these addresses. Results from this approach are low to none. Also - the dealer seriously risks their CRM's sending reputation by doing it this way.
Differentiators
Dumps all identified shoppers into the dealership CRM and leaves communication process up to the dealer / dealership personnel
Doesn’t have a lead conversion generation product
Requires more work on the dealership staff
They are usually LESS expensive than our platform per month
Drive Auto
