Market intelligence without the heavy setup

Why teams switch from Contify to Distill

Enterprise intelligence tools are powerful, but they often turn into unused shelf-ware because they are too difficult for everyday teams to manage.

• No "analyst support" required

  Contify sells bundled human analyst hours to help you manage your queries and clean up the feed. Distill’s AI automatically handles entity matching, grouping, and noise reduction right out of the box.

• Skip the taxonomy building

  You don't need to be an expert in boolean search logic to use Distill. You just add the companies you want to track, and our system automatically monitors their official channels, LinkedIn feeds, and media coverage.

• Built for the whole team

  Contify’s dense dashboards are designed for dedicated intelligence managers. Distill is clean and intuitive, meaning your product, sales, and strategy teams will actually log in and read the insights.

Intelligence that fits your workflow

Stop fighting your software. Distill makes it effortless to consume and share what matters.

• Read the summary, skip the scrolling

  Instead of clicking through a dashboard of blue links, read Distill's AI-generated bullet points to grasp the impact of a product launch or earnings call in seconds.

• Track specific topics effortlessly

  Want to only see news about AI features or executive changes? Set custom topic filters and let Distill surface exactly what matches your focus.

• Route directly to Slack

  Send highly filtered alerts (e.g., only "Major news" for direct competitors) straight to your team's Slack channel, building context where they already work.

Frequently asked questions

• Is Distill a direct replacement for Contify?

  If your goal is to track company news, competitor moves, and industry trends without the hassle, yes. Distill replaces the core monitoring features of Contify with a much faster, easier-to-use interface. If you need complex internal battlecards or deep API integrations with a custom CRM setup, Contify might be the better fit.

• Does Distill track the same sources as Contify?

  Yes. Distill tracks everything from major global news outlets and press wires to official company blogs, Substacks, and social channels like LinkedIn.

• Why shouldn't I use a platform with human analysts?

  Human analysts are slow and expensive. They add a delay to your news and bloat the cost of your software contract. Distill uses modern AI to do the same grouping and filtering in real time, for a fraction of the cost.

• Can I try it before switching?

  Yes, Distill offers a free 14-day trial. You can set up your exact watchlist and compare the Distill feed side-by-side with your Contify dashboard. No sales call required.
