Letterdrop vs Warmly: Which Platform Helps You Capture In-Market Buyers?

Parthi Loganathan
CEO of Letterdrop, former Product Manager on Google Search

Outbound teams aren’t struggling because they lack tools.

They’re struggling because:

  • cold outreach keeps getting ignored
  • intent signals are fragmented
  • buyers expect relevance and trust before they’ll talk

Both Warmly and Letterdrop aim to fix this by helping teams identify buying intent and act on it.

The difference is where the signals come from and how the buyer experience actually feels.


What Warmly Does Well

Warmly is best described as a website-first intent and routing platform.

It focuses on identifying when accounts are showing interest through owned and paid channels, then helping sales respond faster.


Warmly’s Core Strengths

  • Website visitor identification: Surfaces accounts (and sometimes contacts) visiting your site using de-anonymization and enrichment.
  • Buying group & persona routing: Helps route inbound intent to the right rep based on role, account, or territory.
  • Inbound acceleration: Strong at prioritizing hot website visitors so sales can follow up quickly.
  • RevOps-friendly setup: Clean dashboards, clear scoring logic, and tight CRM integrations.

Best fit:

Marketing-led and RevOps teams who already drive meaningful website traffic and want to convert that demand more efficiently.


Where Warmly Starts to Fall Short

Warmly is very effective once buyers reach your website.

The challenge is what happens before that moment.

Common limitations teams run into:

  • No visibility into buyers who are researching off-site
  • Little signal from social conversations, posts, or engagement
  • Reactive by nature; intent is only visible after someone lands on your site
  • Limited support for warming buyers before inbound conversion

If your pipeline problem is “we don’t have enough inbound”, Warmly can only help so much.

That’s where Letterdrop takes a broader view of intent.


How Letterdrop Approaches the Problem Differently

Letterdrop is built around detecting buying intent wherever it shows up, not just on your website.

Instead of waiting for buyers to come to you, it helps teams engage earlier, more naturally, and with more context.


What Letterdrop Adds

1. Intent from public conversations, not just visits

Letterdrop detects buyers who:

  • post about problems you solve
  • ask peers for recommendations
  • interact with competitors
  • interact with influencers or your team

You see who is interested and why, even if they never touch your site.

2. Signal-anchored outreach drafts

When a signal appears, Letterdrop:

  • captures the exact post, comment, or activity
  • drafts a message tied to that context
  • routes it to the right sender for review

The outreach doesn’t feel reactive or salesy; it feels timely.


3. Built-in social selling and nurture

Letterdrop helps teams stay visible before inbound:

  • turning sales calls into LinkedIn thought leadership
  • keeping execs and reps consistently posting
  • nurturing target accounts over time

By the time outreach happens, buyers often already recognize the name.


4. Complements inbound, doesn’t replace it

Warmly helps when buyers raise their hand on your site.

Letterdrop helps before that moment, and often increases the likelihood they ever visit in the first place.

Which Tool Is Right for You?

Choose Warmly if:

  • You already generate strong inbound traffic
  • Your priority is faster follow-up and routing
  • Website intent is your main demand source

Choose Letterdrop if:

  • Your buyers are active on LinkedIn and social channels
  • You want earlier visibility into in-market conversations
  • You need to create demand, not just capture it
  • You believe trust and familiarity drive replies


The Real Difference

Warmly helps you respond better once buyers show up.

Letterdrop helps you show up earlier, build trust, and guide buyers to that moment in the first place.

For teams under pipeline pressure, that difference matters; the hardest part of revenue isn’t routing inbound faster, it’s creating more high-intent conversations to route at all.


Wonder what buyers are doing before they ever hit your site?

We’ll show you how teams capture earlier intent signals and start conversations before inbound even happens.
