What makes Vink different from other tools?

For starters, Vink isn’t just another GTM tool—it’s the only one you’ll need.

Most GTM tools are pointed solutions, meaning they do one thing well—data enrichment, intent signals, outreach, or automation. But Vink is an end-to-end GTM enablement platform that brings everything together in one seamless system.

Here’s what sets Vink apart:

  • Vink doesn’t just gather data—it ensures you get the right data, from the right sources. Vink pulls in data from 30+ sources, industry-specific data sources and proprietary datasets, allowing it to compare with way more data points than any other tool in the market. 

  • Vink isn’t just about consuming research: it’s about knowing what to do with it. Beyond data collection, Vink helps with strategic planning, ensuring your GTM motions are optimized, automated, and executed with precision.
Can I customise Vink to fit my workflows?

And the best part? Once you are onboarded, you will have a dedicated Vink Solutioning Team to work with you to set up the workspace environment exactly the way you want it to be.

Is there a free trial? How much does the product cost?
