ContactLevel

is designed for contact-level advertising, helping users turn contact lists into matched audiences for channels such as Facebook, Google, and YouTube.

LeadiLibrary

is designed to build, verify, and activate complete audiences, combining verified online and offline data for greater flexibility and reach.

Data and Identity Resolution

Both solutions aim to help advertisers reach verified audiences, but their data methodologies differ.

ContactLevel focuses on improving match rates between business contacts and consumer ad platforms. It relies primarily on email-based matching to help B2B teams connect with decision-makers through ads.

AudienceLab combines online and offline datasets, verifying name, email, phone, and behavioral attributes to ensure accuracy. This creates complete audience profiles that can be used across ad, CRM, and outbound systems.

Key takeaway: ContactLevel enhances reach for existing contact lists, while AudienceLab verifies and enriches audiences to create reliable, reusable data assets.

Behavioral and Intent Data

Behavioral insights are a key differentiator between the two platforms.

ContactLevel helps advertisers match contacts and deliver ads, but it does not currently incorporate behavioral or intent-based data.

AudienceLab provides access to over 60 billion behavioral signals each week, enabling advertisers to identify audiences actively engaging with specific topics, products, or industries.

This behavioral layer allows AudienceLab users to move beyond static contact lists to dynamic, intent-driven audiences that evolve with buyer activity.

Data Verification and Accuracy

Data ownership is an important consideration for marketers who want control over how their audience data is used.

ContactLevel operates primarily as a managed environment where audience data is used for ad delivery.

AudienceLab provides complete ownership and portability, allowing users to export, reuse, and enrich their data without restriction.

Key takeaway: ContactLevel simplifies ad-based targeting, while AudienceLab emphasizes transparency and long-term audience control.

Performance and Scalability

Both platforms are designed to improve advertising efficiency but differ in scalability.

ContactLevel is optimized for B2B advertisers who want to reach specific contacts quickly and efficiently.

AudienceLab supports both large-scale B2B and B2C campaigns, making it suitable for agencies and advertisers managing multiple clients or verticals.

Key takeaway: ContactLevel is ideal for teams focused on narrow contact lists, while AudienceLab supports broad audience reach with scalable data infrastructure.
