Connect The Dots vs ExecAtlas

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.
