Primer vs. Influ2

Reach real buyers across Meta, Google, LinkedIn (and more). Primer delivers higher match rates, full transparency in your ad accounts, and a built‑in B2B database. Influ2 can work for tiny, high‑value ABM lists — but it doesn’t scale cost‑effectively and requires you to bring your own contacts.

Who’s a Good Fit

Primer is ideal when…
  • Your team prefers the transparency of building, reporting & optimizing directly in native ad managers
  • You need higher match rates on Meta/Google and transparent delivery in your own accounts.
  • You want CRM‑based Customer Match lists and advanced search plays (e.g., Anti‑ICP suppression).
  • You need to find net‑new prospects without buying separate databases.
  • You need to launch in days, not months, and prove incremental lift to Finance.
Influ2 may fit when…
  • You have a small, high‑value ABM list (six‑figure deals) where $5/contact can be ROI‑positive.
  • You already have clean CRM lists and want contact‑level engagement signals for SDRs.
  • You prefer a high‑touch CSM to help run programs.
  • You’re okay with ads running from a vendor account (less verifiability).
