How Does Breeze Compare to Other Data Enrichment Tools?
When put alongside its competitors like ZoomInfo and Apollo, Breeze Intelligence's data enrichment you can see that there's pros and cons to be considered and which data enrichment tool you should go for depends entirely on your company objectives.
For instance:
- If your goal is to leverage outbound campaigns at a large-scale, Apollo would sound like the better choice. However, if your focus in more towards inbound Breeze Intelligence would be the clear choice as it helps enrich existing contact and company data in your CRM, ensuring your inbound leads are always complete and current.
- If you need to build new contact lists using comprehensive business data, including job roles, hierarchies, and firmographics for targeted outreach, well ZoomInfo would look the ideal choice.

Is It Worth Investing in Breeze Intelligence?
Breeze Intelligence is designed as a data enrichment solution that complements HubSpot’s functionality. Here’s when it’s most advantageous to consider it:
- When Your CRM Needs More Contextual Data: For teams looking to increase the depth of customer insights, Breeze provides valuable information that can drive more informed decisions across marketing, sales, and customer success.
- To Avoid Overcrowding the Tech Stack: Integrating new tools into an already complex tech stack can increase operational friction and cost. With Breeze Intelligence, you can keep everything within HubSpot, eliminating the need for additional tools.
- For Teams Focused on Efficiency: By enriching data automatically and reducing manual research, Breeze can save time for lean teams that prioritise speed and accuracy in their go-to-market operations.
Limitations to Consider
While Breeze Intelligence is highly effective, it’s not without some limitations:
- Scope of Data Sources: Breeze pulls from multiple sources but may still lack niche or extremely specialised data found in industry-specific tools. Additionally, phone number numbers and email addresses won't get enriched.
- Credit-Based Model: For heavy users, the credit system may require additional purchases to keep up with enrichment needs, which may be a consideration for budget-conscious teams.
Breeze Intelligence holds its own against competitive data enrichment tools, especially with its seamless integration into HubSpot and competitive pricing structure. By eliminating the need for standalone enrichment tools, it simplifies data workflows and offers real-time enrichment options that not all tools provide. However, Breeze may not replace all data enrichment solutions, particularly those tailored to specific industries or use cases.
Final Thoughts
HubSpot’s Breeze Intelligence is a valuable addition for businesses committed to data-driven decision-making. By consolidating enrichment directly within HubSpot, Breeze Intelligence enables businesses to streamline their tech stack, reduce manual work, and make data more accessible. While it’s not without its limitations, for many teams, it provides a cost-effective and efficient solution for data enrichment within a connected customer platform.
