What Is CustomerOS?
CustomerOS is a revenue intelligence engine that identifies anonymous website visitors, checks them against your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP), and attributes them to real pipeline, not just visits or intent scores.
Built for Speed and Precision
While 6sense focuses on large-scale intent orchestration across channels, CustomerOS helps leaner growth teams:
Identify high-fit, high-intent accounts already on your site
Attribute content and campaigns to qualified pipeline
Prioritize accounts for SDRs based on fit + engagement
Operate without the complexity or cost of ABM infrastructure
Core Capabilities Compared
1. Website Visitor Identification
CustomerOS uses deanonymization via IP, fingerprinting, and hashed PII to identify companies on your site.
6sense uses IP data and intent signals from their B2B graph but depends on cookies and integrations.
2. ICP Fit Scoring
CustomerOS scores visitors against your ICP using firmographics, behavior, and custom rules.
6sense requires complex configuration of segments, AI models, and rule sets.
3. Pipeline Attribution
CustomerOS connects visits to pipeline outcomes, showing which content or ads actually influenced revenue.
6sense offers attribution, but requires CRM + MAP sync and often custom implementation.
4. Buyer Stage and Intent Scoring
CustomerOS uses page engagement and behavior to infer buyer stage.
6sense uses AI models to predict stage, powerful, but often a black box.
5. SDR Prioritization
CustomerOS flags accounts with high fit + engagement for sales, ready out of the box.
6sense supports this through workflows, but typically requires RevOps/ABM team setup.
