Compare UserGems to Common Room
Get more than just job change data and lightweight signal add-ons. Common Room gives you the most signal coverage and makes it actionable for reps with waterfall enrichment and high-converting outbound plays served on a platter.
What's wrong with the status quo?
Signal blindness
Usergems leaves critical signals like product usage, dark-funnel chatter, OSS engagement, and much more completely unseen.
Missing enrichment
While UserGems excels at job change tracking, it lacks waterfall enrichment needed to prioritize or confidently reach contacts.
Manual clicks, no autopilot
Even with playbooks, reps must hunt contacts, reveal emails, and push sequences themselves—AI suggestions stop short of sending.
