Beam vs Leadfeeder (2026): Person or Company Level?

Julley Thai4 min read

We make Beam, so treat this comparison accordingly. We've kept it factual, with pricing current as of July 2026, and we're upfront about where Leadfeeder is the stronger choice, because it sometimes is.

The Beam vs Leadfeeder question comes down to one word: who. Leadfeeder tells you which company visited your site. Beam tells you which person did, and then helps you say hi to them. Those sound similar and lead to completely different workflows.

TL;DR: Choose Leadfeeder if you run account-based sales with a team, sell into Europe, and want mature company-level intelligence wired into your CRM, from €99 a month billed annually. Choose Beam if you're a founder or small team that wants to know the actual human on your pricing page and get a drafted, personal reply to send them, from $0.

What Leadfeeder Does Well

Leadfeeder, now part of Dealfront, is the most established name in company-level identification. It matches visitor IPs to organizations, scores accounts by on-site behavior, and syncs two-way with your CRM. The Dealfront platform tier (€399 a month) adds a large European B2B database with contact details, and the company's GDPR posture is built for EU operations, which matters if European traffic is your market. For a mid-market team running account-based plays, it's a mature, proven system. We compared it against the other big person-level player in our RB2B vs Leadfeeder referee page.

The costs to know about: paid plans start at €99 a month billed annually, and month-to-month billing runs about 40 percent higher (roughly €165). The free plan identifies up to 100 companies a month but keeps data for only 7 days.

What Beam Does Differently

Beam starts where company-level tools stop. Knowing "Acme visited" still leaves the real work: figuring out who at Acme, finding them, and writing something worth their reply. Beam identifies the person directly, with a published average of 60 to 80 percent of visitors identified, matches their active social profiles across LinkedIn, X, and 10+ platforms, and drafts the outreach in your voice from their recent posts. You send it yourself in one click, from your own account. The full mechanics are in our person-level identification guide.

Setup is one line of HTML on any stack, with the first identified visitor typically inside 30 minutes (setup guide here). Pricing is flat and public: $0 for 10 identified visitors a month, $19 for 50, $49 for unlimited.

The Honest Fit Test

Ask one question: when a great account shows up in your feed, what happens next in your company? If the answer is "the signal routes to a rep who owns that territory and works it through our CRM playbook," Leadfeeder fits that machine, and Beam would be the wrong shape. If the answer is "I see it, and I should probably message them personally," then company-level data just gives you homework, and Beam does the homework for you. The broader decision framework, including how identification methods differ under the hood, is in our website visitor identification guide.
