For years, LeanData has built its reputation around matching and lead routing. And while matching is important, it’s only the beginning. Salesforce teams today need more: clean data, scalable automation, real-time collaboration, and the agility to adapt processes as fast as the business does.
That’s why teams are choosing Sweep. At a similar price point, they implement 300% faster and cut costs by 40% through tool consolidation.
Sweep is an AI-powered visual workspace that not only matches and routes leads—it does it faster, easier, and more flexibly than LeanData. Configure lead-to-account matching, opportunity routing, and territory management in hours, not weeks. Adapt rules instantly as your business evolves, without the heavy services and expensive add-ons LeanData requires.
And Sweep doesn’t stop at routing. Once your foundation is solid, it expands into a complete Salesforce workspace: automated documentation, real-time deduplication, Slack alerts and deal rooms, and AI agents that monitor org health. You don’t just fix routing—you fix everything connected to it.
“For a similar cost, we got 10x more functionality. Sweep wasn’t just about routing leads—it let us override Salesforce’s limitations, whether that was duplicate rules, routing logic, automation building, or even sending Slack alerts.”
Feature comparison: Sweep vs. LeanData
| Feature | Sweep | LeanData |
|---|---|---|
| Visual, no-code Salesforce builder | ✅ Drag-and-drop visual workspace for any process | ✅ Yes, but setup and scaling quickly become complex |
| Implementation time | ✅ Live in days, no pro services required | ❌ 6–8 weeks, requires professional services |
| Lead & opportunity routing | ✅ Route leads, contacts, opportunities, and any object with flexible criteria | ✅ Any-object routing supported, but custom/complex use cases are higher priced |
| AI-powered documentation & change logs | ✅ Automated, real-time system-wide tracking | ⚠️ Audit Logs show how records move in LeanData graphs, but don’t cover flows/apex outside LeanData |
| Troubleshooting & debugging | ✅ Visual debugging tools + AI insights | ⚠️ Limited to Audit Logs inside LeanData; harder to debug end-to-end |
| Slack integration | ✅ Alerts, deal rooms, and in-channel actions included | ⚠️ Alerts and deal rooms available; in-channel actions cost extra |
| AI agents | ✅ Built-in AI agents to optimize, monitor, and document | ❌ None |
| Asynchronous automation | ✅ Runs in the background; no Salesforce CPU timeouts | ❌ Large graphs (500+ users, multiple round robins) cause slowdowns and churn risk |
| Flexible Salesforce deployments | ✅ Multi-environment + CI/CD friendly | ⚠️ Multi-graph option available but very expensive |
| Real-time deduplication & matching | ✅ Native dedupe across any object with custom logic | ✅ Matching built-in; recommends Cloudingo for advanced dedupe/account-to-account merges |
| Customer data access | ✅ Metadata-only; Sweep does not access your Salesforce data | ❌ Requires data access |
| Ease of use & onboarding | ✅ Intuitive, faster learning curve; 10x faster routing changes | ❌ Steep learning curve; higher admin overhead |
The Sweep advantage over LeanData
A more powerful, visual approach to Salesforce
LeanData: Uses traditional flow-based logic, which becomes complex and hard to troubleshoot as workflows scale.
Sweep: Features an intuitive, AI-powered visual workspace that makes it simple to build, modify, and optimize workflows.
“Sweep’s UI made it very clear to me what assignments were going where, and which criteria were extraneous or duplicative. Now iterating and making changes is way easier than before.”
Easier troubleshooting & documentation
LeanData: Limited to Audit Logs inside its own graph; doesn’t cover flows/apex outside LeanData.
Sweep: AI-powered documentation, AI agents for troubleshooting and impact analysis, and automated change logs give teams full visibility across Salesforce.
“Territory management has been reduced now to maybe an hour a week, even less. Whenever we had a personnel change, it was ‘This derails my whole week.’ Now it’s ‘Let me get this done between some tasks and move on with my day.’”
No Salesforce performance issues
LeanData: Large-scale routing (500+ users, multiple round robins) slows to a crawl, causing Salesforce performance issues.
Sweep: Asynchronous automation avoids Salesforce CPU timeouts, keeping routing fast at scale. Cybrary cut its average lead “holding period” with LeanData from 19.4 minutes to just 33 seconds.
Faster, more flexible implementation & automation
LeanData: Setup takes 6–8 weeks and requires pro services; changes take weeks to push live.
Sweep: Live in days, with routing changes 10x faster to implement.
“Within one week, our lead-to-account matching and routing needs were live on Sweep—300% faster than a typical implementation.”
More than just lead routing
LeanData: Focused on lead-to-account matching and routing. Broader GTM automation requires other tools.
Sweep: Handles lead assignment, opportunity routing, forecasting, territory management, and post-sale workflows—all in one platform. Customers save 40%+ by consolidating tools into Sweep.
“When they told me that I would get lead-to-account matching and routing, in addition to documentation, a Slack integration and configuration, I didn’t believe them at first.”
Why teams are switching from LeanData to Sweep
LeanData built its name on matching and routing. But those problems are no longer enough. And even at its core, LeanData is slower, more complex, and more expensive to maintain.
Sweep delivers everything teams expect from a routing platform, faster matching, easier territory management, and routing that scales without Salesforce slowdowns, while going far beyond what LeanData offers. With Sweep, you get automation that adapts in real time, built-in documentation and deduplication, and AI agents that keep your Salesforce environment healthy.
And the best part? Teams achieve all of this at a similar price point, with 300% faster implementation and 40% lower costs from tool consolidation.
