EverContact Alternative
Learn the difference between EverContact and SigParser
Although SigParser and Evercontact are similar, they have some key differences in how they operate.
We’ll go feature by feature and compare the various aspects of SigParser and Evercontact.
How SigParser and EverContact are Similar
Extract Contacts from Emails
Both tools are trying to find contact details from emails and update your CRM and contact systems. They do this by scanning emails for email signatures and extract details such as email addresses, names, job titles and locations.
Ongoing and Historical Extracts
Both tools let you purchase email history to find contacts buried in your mailbox and both will monitor your email going forward. This allows you and your team to immediately generate a large list of relationships when getting started.
How SigParser and EverContact are Different
Some contacts vs every contact
Evercontact will capture only contacts with email signatures.
SigParser’s goal is to extract every email address, phone number, title and more in your mailbox, whether it has an email signature or not. SigParser can also dive deep into reply chains and extract every email address even if it isn’t on the root email. SigParser only pushes contacts automatically to contact systems that have more than an email address (phone, title, location…). But by capturing every email address, SigParser is able to provide an often massive database of contacts.
Powerful List Building for Marketers
SigParser is focused on allowing users to build large lists of contacts to use in marketing efforts by allowing filtering by many different categories based on relationship strength. SigParser exposes over 100 fields on Contacts and Companies and supports custom fields and CSV import to allow centralizing the data from your various systems.
CRM Connectors
SigParser and EverContact both support CRM connectors but SigParser's CRM connector supports a lot more features. SigParser's CRM connector can not only handle updating Contacts but also Companies, relationships between Contacts and Coworkers, relationships between Companies and Coworkers and loading emails and meetings directly into the CRM. These are all configurable with filters to choose exactly what you want to get into your CRM.
Team Focus
Evercontact appears to be designed first for individual users with team features like contact sharing added on later.
SigParser was built from the ground for teams but works equally well for individual users. Contact sharing and permissions were designed in early on so users don’t expose too much of their email to their coworkers.
SigParser is also focused on showing more statistics about contacts than Evercontact is and rolling those up to the team level.
Easy to grow into
Evercontact has the idea of multiple, isolated address books. Later as you grow you need to run consolidation operations to get them all together. There are videos on how to do this but it looks complex.
SigParser on the other hand has one address book for the team. All the email accounts are connected in this one team database. Each user can connect their own email accounts or an admin can setup all the connected email accounts for the users. Most users can figure out how to get it all setup by themselves without any help from us in minutes. Access to contacts is controlled by roles and privacy settings.
