Most tools tell you who exists. Intakra tells you when a company on your list starts a new project.

Intakra watches job posts, SEC filings, government contracts and company websites for the accounts on your list. When one starts a project you can help with, we email you the proof and a rough time frame. It does less than most tools on this page, on purpose.

Every fact has a date and a link: Each thing we found shows when it happened, when we saw it, and a link to the source.
Proof first, guess second: A job post is proof of a job post. We say what it usually means in a sentence, and leave the call to you.
Companies first, then the right person: We name the person behind each lead and why, with a verified business email where we have one (never for EU contacts). No tracking of website visitors, no emails written or sent for you. We use standard product analytics and error reports to improve Intakra.
A rough time frame on each one: Every heads-up says about how long you likely have, so you know what to look at first.

vs. topic intent data

Topic intent scores which companies are researching a subject, based on anonymous reading activity. Intakra shows specific things that happened instead, such as a job post, an 8-K filing, or a new login page on the company site, each dated and linked. A job post is proof of a job post; we tell you what it usually means.

vs. contact databases

Databases answer who works where. Intakra answers a different question: which companies on your list just started a new project, roughly how much time you have, and the one person there who most likely owns it. It is not a database to search, so most teams keep theirs.

vs. doing it by hand

A careful rep can check filings, job posts, and company websites by hand for a handful of accounts. Intakra checks them every day for up to 2,500 accounts and keeps the date and source of everything it finds.

By category

Databases tell you who exists. Intakra tells you who started something.

Intakra answers one question for the accounts already on your list: which ones just started a project you could help with, what the proof is, and roughly how much time you have.

The question	ZoomInfo / Apollo	Clay	Manual research	Intakra
Answers “who exists”	Yes	Via providers	Yes, slowly	No, bring your list
Dated proof per account	Company news on some plans	If you build it	Yes, by hand	Yes, linked to the source
Roughly how much time you have	No	If you build it	Your best guess	Yes, a rough time frame
Contact data for people	Yes	Via providers	Yes, by hand	One named person per lead
Setup / maintenance	Seat + training	Build + upkeep	Hours every week	Add accounts, say what you sell
Best for	Contact data at scale	RevOps teams	Very small lists	Reps who own a territory

vs ZoomInfo

ZoomInfo is broad B2B data with contacts and org charts. Intakra has no contacts. It emails you when a company on your list files an 8-K, posts its first security lead role, or switches email providers, with the date, the source, and a rough time frame.

Clay alternatives

Clay gives you a canvas to build your own data pipeline. Intakra is one narrow pipeline, already built. See how Apollo, Unify, ZoomInfo and Intakra compare with Clay, and who should stay on Clay.

vs doing it by hand

You can check filings, job posts, and company websites yourself. It takes hours, and it is easy to miss the company that posted a new role on a Tuesday. Intakra does the checking and emails you the proof.

We do not claim more data than ZoomInfo or more power than Clay. Intakra does one job: a heads-up when a company on your list starts something, with the proof attached.
