MadKudu vs Toplyne:

What users say are the pros & cons:

MadKudu MadKudu pros

We have this unique “problem” where we have 50k+ new account signups per month. We rely on MK to surface only the top prospects to our sellers and place the rest on a self-serve track. Their APIs are great and our scoring model has performed well with the majority of revenue coming from the top 20% of prospects. I also want to call out their support – our rep has been extremely responsive and helpful..


– Kevin M. (via G2)

Madkudu takes a super hard concept to understand, “what makes a good lead a good lead”, and simplifies it down to make targeting your perfect customers super simple. We use Madkudu to help segment the conversations we have in Drift, to help with emails we send to our free users, and to help us understand when our customers are ready to upgrade!


– Sara P. (via G2)

  MadKudu cons

I wish there was more behavioral data returned in the API.

– Guillaume C. (via G2)

There are some limitations to Madkudu’s integrations, we don’t have a easy way to add behavioral modeling with them due to the tools we are using.

– Natasha S. (via G2)

 Toplynelogo-full Toplyne pros

Toplyne Playbooks – they make it super easy to set up targeted campaigns using Toplyne persona on any CRM/Campaign management platform like Hubspot or Intercom.


– Pramod R. (via G2)

Toplyne classifies users based on their behaviour into actionable buckets and helps the revenue team take more informed decisions. The LCM team can engage with user buckets through personalized communications based on their behaviour rather than using one message for all.


– Shalini N. (via G2)

 Toplynelogo-full Toplyne cons

The tool could give us more insight into a list of events that help boost conversion but we’ve been informed that this is already in the works.

– Prakya V. (via G2)

One area that could be enhanced is the user interface, which could be made more user-friendly for users who are not as technically savvy. Additionally, it would be helpful to have more detailed tutorials and documentation to assist users in getting the most out of the software.
