MarketBetter vs Sendspark: End-to-End Acquisition vs Video-Only

Β· 9 min read
🎯 Executive Summary

marketbetter isn't "another tool." It's an acquisition engine that handles the unglamorous workβ€”research, enrichment, sequencing, alerts, CRM hygieneβ€”and the glamorous workβ€”personalized video and tight follow-ups. The result: leads move from anonymous to meeting booked with far fewer moving parts.

Sendspark is a strong, video-email specialist. Great for recording and sending personalized clips. It does not attempt to run your end-to-end acquisition program. If you want pipeline orchestration, you'll still be stitching systems together around it.

🎯 Quick Decision Matrix​
