The short version

  • Only Dreamdata has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Dreamdata company identification only reaches approximately 80% accuracy even with proprietary IP-to-company resolution; Freshpaint filtering necessarily degrades what advertising platforms receive, so campaign optimisation and lookalike modelling perform worse than an unfiltered pixel would, and the marketing team must accept measurably weaker targeting as the price of compliance.
  • They diverge on capability: Dreamdata covers Multi-touch attribution, Freshpaint covers PHI detection and redaction.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Dreamdata

  • Company identification only reaches approximately 80% accuracy even with proprietary IP-to-company resolution
  • Advanced features like custom attribution models require expensive custom pricing tier
  • Steep implementation lift for complex multi-touch attribution setup
  • Free tier limited to 2 months of historical data

Freshpaint

  • Filtering necessarily degrades what advertising platforms receive, so campaign optimisation and lookalike modelling perform worse than an unfiltered pixel would, and the marketing team must accept measurably weaker targeting as the price of compliance.
  • Pricing is not published on the vendor site despite three named tiers, and third party reports of entry around 599 US dollars a month cover only the lowest tier, with audiences and advertising activation sitting above it.
  • It addresses web and marketing tracking rather than the whole protected health information estate, so it solves one exposure while patient data in the CRM, call centre and email tooling remains a separate problem.
  • The commercial case rests on a specific regulatory interpretation of online tracking technologies, and litigation and future guidance could narrow or widen it, which makes the size of the problem it solves less stable than a compliance purchase usually is.
  • It is built for healthcare and priced accordingly, so an organisation wanting a general customer data platform pays for a regulatory specialism it does not need and gets narrower general purpose functionality than Segment or RudderStack.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Dreamdata: Is there a free tier for Dreamdata?

Yes. Dreamdata offers a free tier with 5 seats, 2 months of history, company identification, and web analytics included.

Source
Freshpaint: Why can a hospital not just use Google Analytics?

US Department of Health and Human Services guidance treats IP addresses and health related page URLs as protected health information in this context, and advertising and analytics platforms will not sign a business associate agreement, so the disclosure is unlawful without an intermediary that filters.

Dreamdata: What CRM integrations does Dreamdata support?

Dreamdata integrates natively with Salesforce and HubSpot, pulling opportunity and account data to build attribution models.

Source
Freshpaint: Does Freshpaint sign a BAA?

Yes, and it holds SOC 2 Type II. That is the central reason it exists, because the destination platforms will not.

Dreamdata: Can I build custom attribution models in Dreamdata?

Yes. Custom attribution models are available on the Attribution Advanced plan, which requires contact for custom pricing.

Source
Freshpaint: What does it cost?

Freshpaint does not publish prices. Three tiers, Comply, Perform and Scale, are all sales led, and third party sources report entry around 599 US dollars a month for the lowest.

Freshpaint: Will my ad performance suffer?

Somewhat. Stripping identifiers reduces what platforms can optimise against. The trade is weaker targeting in exchange for measurement that a compliance committee will approve.
