Recepto vs Common Room

01 / The short answer

Which one to pick

Common Room unifies person-level signals from the systems you connect: CRM, product, website, and communities such as Slack, Discord, GitHub, Reddit, and your LinkedIn page. Essential is listed at $2,500 per month, billed annually. Common Room states it is SOC 2 certified and GDPR compliant.

Recepto runs plays across the public market (job posts, funding, news, community threads) for accounts that have not joined your community or visited you. Growth is $1,199 per quarter, with no free trial and a 7-day refund. Pick Common Room when your own product and community are the signal. Pick Recepto when the buyer is still out in public.

03 / Who should pick which

A fair split, by the job

Pick Common Room if

The buying signal is already yours: product usage, your website, a community you run, or job changes among people you can already see.
You want a contact directory, Bombora topics, CRM and sales-engagement sync, and sequences in one system.
Your review requires a vendor that states SOC 2 certification and GDPR compliance, and a $30,000 first-year plan is in range.

Pick Recepto if

You need accounts that are in market in public and have not shown up in your product, your site, or your community.
You want that list at a published quarterly price, with the source on every lead.
You are starting with a few plays, or with a named list of at least 30 accounts.

04 / Where they fit

Where Common Room is the stronger fit

Common Room is built to merge signals you already generate. Its docs treat Slack, Discord, GitHub, Reddit, and LinkedIn as integrations you connect, and describe the result as contacts interacting with your organization. Product usage, website activity, and CRM history then sit on the same person. If your market reveals itself by using your product or talking in your community, that is the record Recepto’s public-web plays do not assemble on their own.

Scale and packaging follow that job. The pricing page publishes a contact allowance up to 100,000 on Essential and higher on the custom tiers, includes Bombora Company Surge topics (6, 12, or 25), and lists CRM, sales engagement, and Slack on every plan. The homepage cites a directory of 400 million-plus contacts and says most teams are up within a week. Common Room also states SOC 2 certification and GDPR compliance. Recepto states “GDPR and SOC 2 compliance in progress” and is not certified.

The published entry price is the other gap. Essential at $2,500 per month, billed annually, is $30,000 for the year, against $4,796 for four quarters of Recepto Growth. You are paying for the unified record, the directory, and the certifications. Product signals, which many product-led teams want, are marked as an add-on on the pricing table.

05 / Questions

What buyers ask

How is Recepto different from Common Room?

Common Room unifies person-level signals from systems you connect: CRM, product, website, and communities such as Slack, Discord, GitHub, Reddit, and your LinkedIn page. Its docs describe that activity as contacts interacting with your organization. Recepto runs plays across the public market (job posts, funding, news, community threads) for accounts that have not joined your community or visited you. Both can name a person. The source of the signal is the difference.

How much does Common Room cost compared with Recepto?

Common Room publishes Essential at $2,500 per month, billed annually, which is $30,000 for the year, with 5 seats and up to 100,000 contacts. Advanced and Enterprise are custom quotes. Recepto’s Growth plan is $1,199 per quarter, which is $4,796 for the year. There is no free trial. Every plan includes a 7-day refund. WatchList is priced on request and starts at 30 accounts.

Does Common Room include Bombora intent?

Yes. Common Room’s pricing page includes Bombora Company Surge topics: 6 on Essential, 12 on Advanced, and 25 on Enterprise. Recepto does not resell Bombora topics. Its plays are public moments it monitors itself.

Which team should pick Common Room?

Pick Common Room when the signal you care about is already yours: product usage, website activity, a community you run, job changes, and a contact directory behind it. Common Room states that it is SOC 2 certified and GDPR compliant. Pick Recepto when the work is finding in-market accounts in public before they appear in your product or community, at a published quarterly price.

Can Recepto and Common Room sit in the same stack?

Yes. Common Room is strongest on first-party and owned-community activity. Recepto is strongest on public-market plays. A team with a product-led motion and an outbound motion can use both. Recepto can also blend first-party website, product, and CRM signals on request, which overlaps the first-party side of Common Room.
