Queast vs other tools

Most other tools focus on contacts, sequences or marketplaces. Queast focuses on signals.

Which companies are clearly showing demand for the IT services we sell?

Comparison matrix

Tool type	Main focus	Strengths	Typical limitation	Where Queast fits
Data vendors (big contact DBs)	Large contact lists and enrichment	Huge coverage, many filters	Little project context, user must search and guess	Queast uses signals to decide which accounts
Job boards & scrapers	Displaying or exporting job ads	Volume, easy access	Raw ads only, no enrichment or scoring	Queast ingests and turns them into curated leads
LinkedIn Sales Navigator	People and company search	Great for finding individuals	Manual, time-consuming research	Use after Queast to find more stakeholders
AI SDR / enrichment tools	Messaging and sequencing	Scale once a list exists	Do not help build the right list	Queast generates the list of high-fit accounts
Agency marketplaces (Pangea-style)	Matching buyers and vendors on a platform	Visible projects, ready opportunities	Price pressure, limited control over positioning	Queast supports direct, vendor-owned relationships
Manual research & spreadsheets	Ad-hoc hunting	Flexible	Slow, inconsistent, fragile	Queast replaces this with a repeatable process

Compare Queast with traditional data vendors when your goal is to win more IT projects, not just collect contacts.
