Data a Little Too Lean? Here Are 5 Reasons Why Chili Piper’s New Updates Beat LeanData—At a Leaner Price

Companies like LeanData are trying to say that Chili Piper causes heartburn. To that, we say: It’s okay to admit you can’t handle the heat 🔥

But seriously, we get that not every competitor is up-to-date on all the latest that Chili Piper has to offer. We’re constantly updating our product (and added new functionality to Distro every month in 2023)  so it can be tough to keep up.

So we’re here to set the record straight: Now that we’ve launched our Demand Conversion Platform, Chili Piper provides everything you need to create, convert, and close qualified revenue. Period.

In fact, our latest updates make us an even better option than LeanData—despite what you may have heard from them. Here are five reasons why we’re the better choice. (Not to mention that our price is much leaner 😉)

1. Match by any combination of CRM fields you like

Yes, we used to use domain-only matching. We heard that wasn’t specific enough to serve all our customers. 

Our latest L2A (Lead to Account) matching updates let you use whatever combination of CRM fields you want to make a match.

Want to match by Phone Number? You’ve got it.

Company Name? Yup, you can do that.

A combination of fields like Company Name + Zip Code? Of course!

Chili Piper and Salesforce algorithms work together to allow routing based on any fields between the Lead and the Account Object. 

Our algorithms support both exact and fuzzy matching. Versatile options and filtering criteria ensure accurate association. Plus, you can set tiebreakers to further refine the matching process.

LeanData? They only use six fields for matching in Salesforce. A little too lean if you ask us…

2. Simple routing logic is easier to understand

Some people (*cough* LeanData *cough*) claim Distro’s routing logic is too simple. We think something being easy to understand is much different than being “simple.”disagree.

LeanData is a robust lead routing solution that can do many complex things. Unfortunately, that also means you’d need a dedicated admin with development chops to maintain it.

We don’t complicate routing. Our lead routing is quick to launch, test, and maintain, so you can focus your energy on generating revenue.

Here’s what we mean:

LeanData’s logic maps are convoluted and impossible for new admins to understand.

Distro has more intuitive rules that are easier to set up, maintain, and understand—even for non-technical users. LeanData has a true/false approach for each node. We use a top-to-bottom approach that triggers each rule in a linear order.

But, hey, if you do want to set up more complex routing, Distro does let you do that. You can trigger the distribution of records and leads based on what’s most important to your company: Field Update or New Record Creation (Manual or list upload).

3. Reliable routing with maximum uptime

Any software is only as good as its uptime. Competitors are claiming that we’re unreliable and that our service has too much downtime. 

Well, that claim would hold water if we didn’t transparently share our uptime status across all our products. 

You can check Chili Piper’s status—and outage history—any time you want. We’ve had 100% uptime for months. Normally, we’re all about red 🌶️ but when it comes to uptime, we’re glad we’re in the green ✅

4. Routing not limited by Salesforce

LeanData is a Salesforce-native app. Chili Piper is separate from Salesforce to give you more flexibility.

We can Update, Create and Merge records in Salesforce.

But since we’re not built directly on top of Salesforce, your routing isn’t delayed by APEX governor limits. Our routing runs in real time.

For one simple fee of $30/user/month, you can route to any object in your CRM using Chili Piper Distro. 

In contrast, routing to any object is only possible on LeanData’s premium plan ($59/user/month).

5. Advanced reporting and analytics

Our analytics are at least as robust as LeanData’s, but G2 reviewers would say ours are even better.

We provide report breakdowns for both Conversion and Distribution. The Conversion report provides direct insights into lead conversions, while the Distribution report shows how individual meetings were distributed by bookers into queues for your team.

Decide for yourself: Can you handle the heat?

As always, take what our competitors say with a grain of salt. After all, they’re just trying to compete with the spiciest sales software. 

But we can confidently say that we have the same or better functionality at a leaner price. Lead Routing is only $30/user/month with Chili Piper vs. $59/user/month for LeanData Premium.
