dialed technologies vs Craftt: an honest comparison of two Attio partners

Short answer: dialed technologies and Craftt are both listed Attio expert partners, but they are not competing for the same job. dialed technologies is the developer-run Attio agency, at Advanced tier in Attio's directory with 5.0 from 19 reviews. Craftt is an AI-native Attio agency at Core tier with 5.0 from 16 reviews and 30 implementations, selling a published, flat-priced build — $2,500 for the full seven-day sprint — with six Claude agents included and a live-in-seven-business-days-or-you-don't-pay guarantee. Below is where each one is genuinely the better hire.

So everything said about dialed technologies here comes from their own website and their public [Attio expert directory listing, linked at the bottom — not from our opinion of them. Where they are better than us, we have said so. If you find something here that is out of date or wrong, tell us and we will correct it.

Who dialed technologies is

dialed technologies describes itself as the first software-developer-run Attio agency: founders who came out of software engineering rather than sales ops. It holds Advanced tier in the Attio expert directory with a 5.0 rating from 19 reviews.

The clearest expression of that is their product work. dialed ships apps to the Attio marketplace — Stripe Invoicing and an AI prospecting app that dedupes against your CRM among them — and runs Merge for Attio, an expert-guided deduplication platform that scores candidate matches with fuzzy matching, exact matching and domain comparison, with a human walking you through the merge decisions.

Services split three ways: foundation and setup, custom development and integration, and de-duplication.

Where dialed technologies is the better choice

Three things they do that we do not, or do not do as well:

Deduplication as a product, not a task. Most partners will clean your duplicates as part of a project. dialed built tooling for it, with confidence scoring and guided review. If you have a workspace with tens of thousands of contaminated records, that is a different class of solution.

Custom Attio apps. If your requirement genuinely needs an app — a Stripe invoicing surface inside Attio, a bespoke integration with no off-the-shelf connector — a developer-run shop is the right call and Craftt is not.

Engineering instincts on migrations. Complex migrations handled with code rather than spreadsheets tend to be more repeatable and more auditable.

Where Craftt is the better choice

The whole workspace, not the hard parts of it. dialed's centre of gravity is custom development and dedup. Craftt's is the complete build: migration, data model, reporting, automations, integrations, agents, docs and training, in one fixed-price sprint.

Published price and a delivery guarantee. $2,500 flat, live in seven business days or you don't pay. Custom development is quoted per project by nature.

Six agents out of the box. Inbound triage, pipeline hygiene, at-risk deals, board updates — built to your process, running on your account, yours to keep.

Side by side

Directory tier and review counts are taken from the Attio expert directory at the time of writing; implementation counts are what each partner reports about itself. Both change, so check the directory before you decide.

What each costs

dialed quotes per project, as custom development shops do. Craftt is $2,500 flat for the full build and $700 for a standalone migration. If your problem is 'we need an app', a flat price is not the right instrument and dialed's model is more honest for that work.

For reference, Craftt's whole ladder is published on the pricing page:

• $0 — 48-hour written audit of your workspace or current CRM. Yours to keep and act on even if you never hire us.
• color:var(--color-text-heading)]">$700 — [standalone migration from your legacy CRM. Deduped before import, verified against your source, three business days. Credited in full against anything you buy next within 90 days.
• $1,500 — tune-up for an Attio workspace you already have. Data model and workflows reconfigured, broken automations rebuilt, up to three Claude agents.
• color:var(--color-text-heading)]">$2,500 — the [seven-day sprint. Full build, six Claude agents, Notion documentation, team training, 30-day post-launch tune-up. Live in 7 business days or you don't pay.
• color:var(--color-text-heading)]">$900/mo — [optional operating layer. Runs on your own Attio account. Cancel any time; nothing to unwind.

How to decide

Hire dialed technologies if:

• you need a custom Attio app or a connector nobody has built
• you have a large, genuinely dirty database and want tooling rather than a cleanup project
• your requirement is a software problem wearing CRM clothes

Hire Craftt if:

• your Attio is empty or badly modelled and you want it right, fast
• you want the price and the date up front
• you want AI agents doing hygiene continuously rather than a one-off cleanup

If you are still weighing it up, the cheapest way to test either of us is to make us do something small first. Ours is free: a 48-hour audit of whatever you have now, written up, yours to keep whether or not you ever pay us a cent. If the audit is not sharp, you have lost two days and nothing else.
