GitLeads vs RB2B
RB2B deanonymizes website traffic and delivers person-level visitor data (name, LinkedIn, email, company) to Slack in real time. If you sell to developers, RB2B helps you know who visited your site. GitLeads captures the signal layer that comes before the website visit — when developers star a repo, mention a keyword in a GitHub issue, or interact with open source projects that signal intent for what you sell.
“RB2B is for your website. GitLeads is RB2B for GitHub — where developers actually spend their research time.”

Strengths of Each
- GitHub is where developers research — most developer buyers never hit your pricing page before forming an opinion on GitHub
- Captures intent signals that predate the website visit (stars, issues, keyword mentions)
- Works for companies with low website traffic — GitHub signals are independent of your site traffic
- Full developer profile enrichment (top languages, repos, bio, company, followers)
- Pushes to 15+ destinations — not just Slack (HubSpot, Apollo, Clay, Smartlead, Salesforce, etc.)
- Keyword monitoring catches developers mentioning your category even if they've never heard of you
- Person-level website visitor deanonymization with high match rate for US traffic
- Extremely fast to set up — install a pixel, get Slack alerts in minutes
- Strong fit for any B2B company regardless of whether they sell to developers
- Captures intent from developers who do visit your site
Who Should Use Each
GitLeads is the right choice if your buyers are developers who research on GitHub before they ever visit your site. GitLeads captures upstream GitHub intent — the signal that often precedes the website visit. Use both for complete coverage.
RB2B is the right choice if you want to capture intent from people who are already visiting your website, and you want person-level data pushed to Slack without any complex setup.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I use GitLeads or RB2B?
Ideally both — they cover different surfaces. RB2B captures developers who visit your website. GitLeads captures developers who signal intent on GitHub, which often happens before a website visit. Together they give you the full developer buyer journey.
Does GitLeads work if my website has low traffic?
Yes. GitLeads is completely independent of your website traffic. It monitors GitHub repos and keywords directly. A repo with 200 stars generates leads regardless of how many people visit your marketing site.
Does RB2B work for developer-focused companies?
RB2B works for any B2B company, but developer buyer journeys often start on GitHub, npm, or forums before a website visit. That pre-website research phase is where GitLeads captures intent.
