Andsend vs Connect The Dots

Andsend is relationship intelligence software for professional relationship management and business development. It uses conversation history, role changes, personal milestones and web signals to help users choose whom to contact and when. Suggested messages draw on that context, but users can review, edit or skip them before sending. A unified inbox brings LinkedIn and email conversations together. Team features include shared relationship visibility, warm-path discovery, introduction requests and shared notes. The product lists Gmail, Outlook, Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar and LinkedIn; Pro also lists Salesforce, HubSpot and Pipedrive integrations. A Chrome extension is required to connect LinkedIn, and LinkedIn must be used in the same browser. Andsend is available on the web and as an extension. Pricing starts at €49/user/mo, and a free trial is available. Andsend says data is encrypted in transit and at rest and generally stored in the EU, with some model-provider subprocessors as exceptions. Its security FAQ says SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications are on its roadmap.

Connect The Dots builds a relationship graph from a team's connections to find warm paths to people and companies. Its individual product organizes, scores and deduplicates a professional network so it can be searched from AI tools. Relationship scoring uses email activity and LinkedIn data, with some paths also drawing on public career-overlap information. The service ranks possible introductions and can draft an email for the connector to review and send. It tracks job changes among direct connections and can alert users when someone moves. Listed integrations include Gmail, Outlook, LinkedIn, Salesforce, HubSpot, Claude through MCP, Zapier and an open API. The iPhone and Android app includes Dottie, an AI network assistant. CTD says it reads email metadata by default and does not store email bodies; optional body access supports showing requested emails and retrieving signature contact details. Users can export or delete data, manage network sharing and mark contacts private. The Free plan has monthly limits; Professional costs $20 a month.
