Andsend vs Polinode

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.

Polinode is a browser-based tool for organizational network analysis and visualization. It can work with network data imported from Excel, GEXF, or JSON, gathered through relationship surveys, or accessed through passive data queries. Surveys can collect relationship information along with demographic, engagement, culture, and open-text responses. Its visualizations support networks of up to 50,000 nodes and 250,000 edges, with more than 30 metrics. An AI network chat can answer questions about network data, calculate metrics, interpret results, and find shortest paths. Passive integrations cover metadata from Office 365, Microsoft Teams, Google Workspace, and Slack. Polinode says these integrations do not read or store message content, refresh every 24 hours, and require an organization account. Free accounts have no private networks; Lite allows five and costs $40 a month, while Professional allows 50 and costs $80 a month. Polinode says it is SOC 2 certified and encrypts stored data with AES-256 and transmitted data with SSL/TLS.
