MadKudu vs Breadcrumbs.io:

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. (G2)

MadKudu MadKudu cons

Predictive model means positive and negative score signals are harder to discern and convey to other teams, and greater education is required on the part of the user. Interfacing with the MadKudu team can sometimes be a little tricky because it’s largely done through slack, rather than a ticketing or even email system.

– Elizabeth D. (via G2)

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

– Natasha S. (via G2)

Breadcrumbs.io Breadcrumbs.io pros

The possibility to create a scoring model to predict the best leads to pursue in the sales funnel.

– Matheus M. (via G2)

Breadcrumbs made it easy to identify key contact actions that drove upgrades in our platform. We can now leverage these insights in our workflows, sales cadence, and upgrade sequences.

– Zach R. (via G2)

Breadcrumbs.io Breadcrumbs.io cons

You have to make sure your data is succinct and formatted correctly or the model may give you bad results.

– Mykyta P. (via G2)

When I came in contact with the software, I was actively looking for something similar, except my preference was for it to be mobile-friendly. However, Breadcrumbs does not display well on mobile.

– Jared S. (via G2)
