Question 1

How does Censara compare to Loxo?

Accepted Answer

Loxo is strong at the top of the funnel — a sourcing-first all-in-one with a large people directory. Censara is what agencies move to when sourcing isn't the only bottleneck: when the CRM needs to do real relationship work, the pipeline needs active management, and BD needs its own workspace.

Question 2

Does Censara have a people directory like Loxo?

Accepted Answer

Censara doesn't have a standalone people directory product. Sourcing in Censara works through your existing CRM database (semantic search, Smart Lists), Censara Anywhere on LinkedIn and the open web, and contact enrichment via Hunter, Lusha and Apollo. For agencies whose primary bottleneck is finding new candidates via a large external directory, Loxo may be the stronger fit.

Question 3

How is Censara's CRM different from Loxo's?

Accepted Answer

Censara's CRM is a living database — Suggested Actions from emails and notes, Smart Lists that re-evaluate automatically, enrichment signals, and AI journals on every project. The emphasis is on keeping the database current and surfacing relationship opportunities, not just storing contact records.

Question 4

Does Censara have a candidate-side agent like Loxo's?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Fi is Censara's candidate-facing screening agent. She screens conversationally, books interviews, and gives fit feedback — under your agency's name and logo, never Censara's. She uses a two-phase trust model where client details are only shared with vetted candidates.

Question 5

When is Loxo still the better fit?

Accepted Answer

Loxo is the better fit for agencies whose primary bottleneck is sourcing and who get most of their value from a massive external people directory, or teams that want a single tool primarily to power outbound sourcing.
