Andsend vs The Swarm

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.

The Swarm is a Go-To-Network platform for companies and investors using relationship data for sales, recruiting and fundraising.
