LeadSquared vs Privyr for speed-to-lead

Both LeadSquared and Privyr help you capture online leads in real time, but these two systems work differently when it comes to handling these enquiries. 

LeadSquared can help sales reps immediately call new leads. If a rep fails to call within a given time, it is automatically assigned to the next one. This requires configuration and should be configured by an administrator beforehand.

Privyr is designed to make the new leads immediately available to the salesperson so they can act quickly. Privyr automatically detects new leads generated on your connected lead sources, then triggers an instant app alert for the assigned sales rep. The salesperson can then contact the lead directly using one-tap contact buttons for WhatsApp, SMS, call, and any app they prefer. 

For instance, a new Facebook Lead Ad enquiry could look like this when you’re using Privyr:

1. A lead submits their details on your Facebook form
2. Privyr instantly receives the lead
3. Based on the criteria you set beforehand, the lead is automatically assigned to the right salesperson who will receive an instant alert on their phone
4. The salesperson reaches out to the lead in one tap via WhatsApp, SMS, iMessage or call.

If WhatsApp automation is enabled, the lead enquiry could even look like this, with less manual work needed:

1. A lead submits form.
2. Privyr receives the lead and assigns it to the right salesperson.
3. Multi-step WhatsApp outreach and follow-ups are automatically sent from the assigned rep’s number to keep the lead warm.
4. The salesperson may take over the conversation and follow up as needed directly from their WhatsApp Business app.

Privyr’s WhatsApp Auto-Responder allows you or your reps to instantly send the initial WhatsApp outreach from your personal WhatsApp Business number, even when you’re offline or unavailable. 

Winner: Privyr

LeadSquared can absolutely create a fast lead-response process. But Privyr offers speed-to-lead as the default experience to fast-moving B2C sales teams, giving it the edge. 

LeadSquared vs Privyr for lead distribution

LeadSquared’s updated Distribution Engine can automatically assign Leads as soon as records are created or updated. It supports:

• Round-robin distribution
• Weighted distribution
• Users, teams and sales groups
• Availability-based assignment
• Advanced user filters, and
• Automatic reassignment when first-assigned reps fail to take action in a given period. 

If you run a big sales organisation with complex workload-management rules, LeadSquared presents a strong distribution engine. 

Privyr’s lead distribution and assignment focuses on fast setup and prompt action, with flexible custom rules so sales teams have more control over how leads are routed.

Its lead distribution rules work directly with Meta Ads, Google Ads, and 100+ lead sources. You can route incoming leads according to source, location, interest and custom field criteria. 

Privyr can support several practical distribution models, including:

• Round Robin: Leads rotate between selected reps.
• Fastest Fingers First: Eligible team members are alerted and the first person available can claim the lead.
• Custom rule-based assignment: For instance, property enquiries for Project A go to Agents A and B, while Project B enquiries go to Agents C and D. Leads can be assigned and re-assigned by a designated manager.
• External distribution: Leads can also be forwarded outside your Privyr team, which is useful for agencies distributing leads to clients.

Privyr also lets managers create multiple distribution rules using lead-source data and custom fields. 

Winner for fast, straightforward lead distribution: Privyr

For the high-ticket B2C teams, Privyr has the practical advantage because its lead distribution connects naturally to the immediate mobile response workflow.

LeadSquared can be considered for its distribution complexity. However, some users report setting up custom distribution rules can be tricky.   

LeadSquared vs Privyr for WhatsApp lead management 

LeadSquared allows multiple WhatsApp numbers, personalised messages, notifications and reminders, real-time conversations, and more through LeadSquared Converse. It can also work with WhatsApp Cloud. 

A salesperson can see a WhatsApp conversation in the context of the lead, receive new-message notifications and respond. For WhatsApp automations, however, you need WhatsApp Business API. 

Privyr, on the other hand, lets each salesperson connect their current WhatsApp Business number to unlock more automations, without losing their existing contacts and chats.

You can connect your WhatsApp Business number to Privyr while continuing to view and continue conversations in the normal WhatsApp Business app on your phone or web. 

At the same time, Privyr can add CRM and automation capabilities around your WhatsApp-centric workflow through:

• WhatsApp Auto-Responder
• Automated WhatsApp Sequences
• WhatsApp Campaigns
• WhatsApp Contact Import
• WhatsApp Chat Monitoring

Your reps don’t need another centralised messaging inbox if they’re interacting with their own leads from their own WhatsApp numbers. They can continue working in WhatsApp while Privyr helps them with better lead management, automation and conversation tracking.

Additionally, managers can monitor their team’s WhatsApp conversation history with their leads and clients, directly within Privyr.

Winner for WhatsApp-first personal selling: Privyr

LeadSquared brings WhatsApp into the CRM, while Privyr brings CRM capabilities and automations to your team’s existing WhatsApp workflow without a complex setup. 

If you’ve already built one-to-one relationships through your own WhatsApp Business conversations, Privyr works much smoothly with less disruption.

LeadSquared vs Privyr for SMS and iMessage

LeadSquared supports SMS through Converse, which is currently only available in the US. 

Its mobile CRM also offers device-level calling and SMS functionality, but it depends on operating systems. Overall, LeadSquared’s text communication model remains centred primarily on bringing communications into the CRM environment.

Privyr, on the other hand, works directly with communication applications on your salesperson’s device.

From the Client Details screen, a rep can quickly launch WhatsApp, SMS, phone calls or email in one tap. Privyr’s broader mobile workflow also supports iMessage and other chat apps of your choice. 

Privyr does not need to replace your native messaging app with another CRM inbox.

If a prospect prefers an SMS, you can send an SMS. If an iPhone-based salesperson and their customers primarily use iMessage, they can continue using iMessage.

Winner for handling leads on SMS and iMessage: Privyr

For fast-moving sales teams that rely on a mixture of WhatsApp, SMS, iMessage, phone calls and email, Privyr’s device-native philosophy is much more flexible.

LeadSquared vs Privyr for mobile CRM

LeadSquared offers a good mobile app for general on-the-go tasks and is designed for field-sales organisations. Depending on configuration, it can support leads, accounts and opportunities, activities and tasks, WhatsApp Converse, location tracking, activity reporting, and more. 

LeadSquared’s mobile app can work for reps of large companies managing hundreds of physical sales visits. However, advanced configurations and functionalities might still require access to a desktop CRM. Additionally, many users report that the app is slow and heavy for mobile usage. 

Privyr on the other hand offers a fully featured mobile app that allows you to perform all advanced CRM activities like setting up automations, connecting with lead sources, setting up distribution rules, monitoring sales conversations, etc. 

Apart from that, there are regular features like instant lead alerts, custom fields, one-tap Quick Responses, auto-personalised messages, notes, client timelines and automatic activity logging in the same flow. 

Privyr is designed for salespeople who manage their sales from their phones. It’s powerful yet lightweight for mobile usage. 

Winner for mobile-first lead management: Privyr

For high-ticket B2C salespeople who prefer running their sales process through their phones, Privyr is the better fit.

LeadSquared vs Privyr for Meta Leads

If Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp are your main lead sources, just getting new leads into your CRM isn’t enough. You also need to get them to the right salesperson immediately, engage them through the channels they prefer, track the opportunity, and ideally feed conversion signals back to Meta so your future campaigns perform better at finding more quality leads.

LeadSquared comes with a dedicated Meta Lead Ads Connector to capture leads in real time. It can also connect with Facebook via Meta’s Conversions API to send lead-journey information back to Meta. However, the integration process with Conversions API can be complicated for non-technical teams. Also, real time lead sync can be a bit slow as some users report. 

Privyr combines Meta lead capture with its mobile sales workflow. This includes leads captured through Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp Lead Ads. 

New leads trigger instant alerts for reps. Reps then manage each opportunity via WhatsApp engagement, automated follow-up and lead-stage tracking.

You can easily set up Meta Conversions API with Privyr and automatically send conversion data back to Meta as lead quality signals when a lead’s stage changes in Privyr. The CAPI connection can be configured in less than five minutes. 

Privyr’s additional advantage is how seamlessly Meta leads integrate with its WhatsApp workflow. As an official Meta partner, Privyr supports the compliant use of WhatsApp Business automation features.

Winner for Meta-heavy mobile B2C teams: Privyr

Privyr stands out because it creates a seamless flow from Meta lead capture to WhatsApp engagement, all within a mobile-first CRM experience. Its official WhatsApp partnership also allows businesses to use WhatsApp automation features in a more reliable and compliant way.  

LeadSquared vs Privyr for ease of use and setup

LeadSquared is designed to give administrators considerable control over how the CRM is configured and used. Depending on the organisation’s requirements, admins may need to configure fields, workflows, permissions, lead-routing rules, and other settings before reps can start managing leads.

The CRM also comes with a learning curve, which can become steeper as the level of customisation and process complexity increases.

Privyr, on the other hand, is designed to work much more readily out of the box. You can create an account, download the app, invite team members, connect lead sources, and set basic distribution rules with relatively fewer steps.

The day-to-day sales workflow is built around familiar actions: receiving a new lead, tapping WhatsApp or calling the prospect, scheduling a follow-up, and moving the lead through the sales stages. For salespeople who are already comfortable with these activities, there’s virtually no learning curve.

Lead source integrations automatically transfer new leads from your sources and trigger alerts, while much of the actual communication can continue through familiar apps and channels already used by the salesperson.

Privyr attractive for sales teams whose CRM users are B2C agents, advisors and business owners rather than dedicated sales professionals within larger operations.

Winner for simplicity: Privyr

LeadSquared vs Privyr: final verdict for fast moving B2C teams

If you’re a high-ticket B2C business looking for a LeadSquared alternative with a much simpler sales process, Privyr is the better fit. It’s incredible for managing daily conversations, minimising the delays between lead generation and conversion.

Privyr brings everyday sales activities into one streamlined mobile workflow. Your team can instantly WhatsApp or call new leads, automatically assign leads to the right rep, and respond to enquiries even when they’re unavailable. Privyr also keeps follow-ups on track and lets salespeople continue conversations through WhatsApp, SMS, or iMessage instead of a separate CRM inbox. Managers get visibility into team activity, so they can see what’s happening across the sales process without slowing their reps down.

LeadSquared is a great CRM for a more sophisticated sales infrastructure for large organisations with complex sales operations, but it’s too complex for teams looking for a straightforward B2C sales solution. It offers too many features, many of which most B2C sales teams ultimately don’t use.
