Choose Common Room if

You have first-party signals (product usage, community, website visits) to unify and a RevOps team to build on them.
You need identity resolution across many tools and seats for a larger team.

Choose Tell if

You want the reading and judging done for you, not a platform to configure.
Your best signals are public: hiring, funding, competitors' customers, LinkedIn and X conversations.
You're a founder or a small team and $30,000 a year isn't in the budget.
