Knock vs. Intent Tools

Traditional first-party intent tools mainly rely on page visits to determine lead intent. But visiting a pricing page doesn’t mean someone is ready to buy.

Knock goes beyond outdated tracking. It maps engagement across all your marketing assets — inside and outside your website—into clear intent signals. Whether a lead clicks a button on AWS Marketplace, engages with a LinkedIn post, or explores your G2 profile, Knock captures their actions, reveals their identity, and assigns a real intent score.

Why Look for Intent Tools Alternatives?

Basic first-party tools miss key signals

Standard intent tools track only website visits, ignoring critical off-site engagement from LinkedIn, G2, AWS Marketplace, and other platforms.

Page visits ≠ real intent

When intent tools rely only on website behavior, they flood your CRM with low-quality leads making SDRs waste time chasing irrelevant prospects.

Company-level data isn’t enough

Many tools don’t reveal actual contacts, forcing sales teams to spend precious resources of time & budget for the right person - delaying outreach and slowing the sales cycle.

No real-time engagement

Most tools trigger email follow-ups after detecting intent, while Knock lets leads instantly message sales—reducing friction and increasing conversions.

Built into Knock’s platform at no extra cost

Knock includes intent tracking and de-anonymization—no need to pay for an additional intent tool.
