Compare
Including the bits where they win.
Every comparison page you've ever read concluded that its author was the right choice. These ones name what each competitor does better than us, first, before anything else. Because that's the part that tells you whether to believe the rest.
Checked against each company's published claims, with the date on the page and a link to go and check us.
Cowl vs OneUp Sales
OneUp is the incumbent in recruitment performance software and it's good at the thing it does: KPIs and the screens. If that's what you need, it's a straight answer. Cowl's argument isn't a better leaderboard. It's that we went looking for something that handled a contract book properly, couldn't buy it, and built it.
They win on: they connect to far more than we do
Cowl vs Spinify
Spinify is a strong gamification product with a lot of integrations and a 14-day trial. If gamification is what you want, they're a straight answer. Cowl is narrower and goes deeper.
They win on: they already connect to bullhorn and jobadder. we do not.
Cowl vs SalesScreen
SalesScreen does performance visibility and gamification for sales teams across a lot of industries. Cowl does one industry, and does the parts a general tool has no reason to model.
They win on: breadth, and a real coaching layer
About these comparisons
Why do your comparison pages say when to buy the competitor?
Because it's true, and because you'd find out anyway. Every one of these products does something better than we do. Spinify connects to Bullhorn and JobAdder today and we don't; OneUp has hundreds of customers and we have one. A page claiming we win on everything tells you nothing except that we wrote it.
Are these comparisons fair?
We check them against each company's own published claims and put the date on the page, so you can go and verify us. They ship and we don't get told, so anything here will drift. Treat the date as the expiry.
What is the honest one-line difference?
They sell you a product that connects to your stack. Several of them will have you live inside a day, free, without a phone call. We send an engineer to fix your stack and then connect it. Theirs is far faster to start; ours is aimed at the contract desk and at the reason the numbers on the board are wrong.
Who should not buy Cowl?
Anyone who needs it working next week, anyone whose ATS isn't Loxo and can't wait for a connector, anyone who wants a competitions engine, and anyone running a general sales floor rather than a recruitment desk. That is a lot of people, and we'd rather say so here.
Not sure we're the answer?
Then the call is 45 minutes and free, and if one of them fits your desk better we'll tell you on it.
