FullContact vs Lytics

This is a quick and easy way to upload information from business cards to your current contact database. It can be used by those who are organizing email marketing campaigns. It is also good for personal use -- since it organizes all available information about any given contact it is a great resource for looking up people before meetings and doing other types of background research

If you're struggling to reach a target audience in a touchpoint other than email/print, Lytics is for your business. If your website doesn't have much web traffic, Lytics is NOT for you. It doesn't help with external acquisitions, only with retaining customers who are already on your site.

This is my new favorite app for organizing contacts and segmenting email lists. It is also the only app I have used that will transcribe business cards with 100% accuracy (they use humans to enter info from pictures of cards rather than software, like most other apps). The "merge contact" feature is great and allows you to review the contacts being merged before doing so automatically. It also integrates with Google accounts, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Yahoo. Another great feature is the ability to export data in a file, which you can then upload to your regular CRM software or to Constant Contact. I wish it would allow for more business card uploads per month. Even the paid subscription has a limit of 50 cards per month. I contacted customer support to inquire about increasing this limit and was told that I would need to upgrade to a yearly contract in order to do so. If FullContact continues to be useful, I will likely upgrade. However, given that the business card contacts is one of this software's best features, I was disappointed that this allowance could not be increased. Overall, however, I would highly recommend FullContact

Very easy to use online and great mobile app as well

Automatically updates contacts daily

Just make sure the app is not syncing on multiple devices at once -- this will cause a delay

Their support is very responsive and friendly.

Very user-friendly, especially since it aggregates information from Google every day to update contacts.

Basic materials explaining account setup and how to manage your list. It doesn't take much training to become proficient

Downloading the contacts to use in email marketing campaigns is the most difficult part of implementation.

Easily updates contact information
