Find out what really works, before you sign.
Demos show the best case. We show how software holds up day to day, from the marketing, ecommerce and CX leaders who run it, and turn that into a free decision brief for whatever you're evaluating.
Alium has become my go-to for vetting new tech, especially during the RFP stage. It's saved me hours of research, and I've been known to screen-share their dashboard with leadership to give them the confidence to move forward when needed!

Your decision brief
After your interview, we write a brief about the decision you're facing, using what you told us and what peers in your category said about the same tools.
- Your situation, priorities and pain points, in one place
- Vendor recommendations that fit your stack and needs
- Follow-up questions answered by a co-pilot that draws on peer interviews
- An introduction to any recommended vendor, only if you ask for one
Your situation
Email performance is down and the team plans an RFP for a new email platform, with input from the executive team.

How you get your brief
Sign up
Tell us what you're evaluating: martech, ecommerce or customer experience. Confirm your work email so we know where you work; personal addresses don't count.
Tell us about your stack
Your goals, the tools you use today, and what you need from the next one. That's what makes the brief about you rather than the category.
Get your decision brief
Recommendations that fit your stack, what peers say about each vendor, and a co-pilot for follow-up questions. You also get a year of access to what peers in your category say.
Free research, from the same interviews
Category by category: what buyers use, how they rate it, what it really costs, and why they switch. No sign-up needed.
Your name stays off it
- Vendors never see your name. They see your company, your department and an approximate title.
- Other buyers see even less: your company and role are removed too.
- We record calls only to transcribe them. No audio or video is shared.
- A vendor can only contact you through us, and only if you say yes.
Questions
More in the interviewee FAQ and our code of conduct.
- Is it free?
- Yes. The decision brief and the research are free. Software vendors pay for Alium; you don't.
- What do I have to do?
- Sign up, tell us what you're evaluating, and talk us through your stack. We email you when your brief is ready.
- Who sees what I say?
- Vendors see your company, department and approximate title, never your name. Other buyers see the conversation with your company and role removed.
