The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Dreamdata company identification only reaches approximately 80% accuracy even with proprietary IP-to-company resolution; Signal signal must be installed on a phone before the desktop app can be used, so there is no phone-free desktop-only account
  • They diverge on capability: Dreamdata covers Multi-touch attribution, Signal covers End-to-end encryption.
