Direct licensing meets managed intermediary. Neither advertised amounts nor a public seller route establish what your business will receive.

Research comparison; limited public terms. Pair-level evidence and scenario review is pending. Published fields alone do not meet our indexing threshold. This page is noindex and absent from the sitemap, not a negative verdict.

Headquarters or contact location is not seller eligibility. Response, acceptance and payout stages are not interchangeable.

Which difference matters to your company?

Data fit

For your existing records, start with category fit: Handshake AI lists AutoCAD, Figma, Gmail, Drive, NetSuite, Notion, QuickBooks, ServiceTitan and Slack; Replay lists CRM, support, threads, code/commits, docs, financial records, presentations and product analytics. Ask each which subset has active demand before preparing exports.

Handshake AI: source 1 ↗ source 2 ↗ source 3 ↗ Replay: source 1 ↗ source 2 ↗ source 3 ↗ Public descriptions, not tested seller outcomes.

Payment trigger

Handshake AI: No numerical end-to-end payout timeline verified. Replay: 120 minutes refers to seller effort, not payment speed; payout deadline not published. These clocks measure different stages, not equivalent payout deadlines; ask for a written acceptance-to-payment interval.

Handshake AI: source 1 ↗ source 2 ↗ source 3 ↗ Replay: source 1 ↗ source 2 ↗ source 3 ↗ Public descriptions, not tested seller outcomes.

Shared diligence, not shared guarantees.

Both routes need lawful rights to the material. Removing names does not remove confidentiality obligations or re-identification risk. Require sample approval, buyer-use restrictions, precise payment triggers and downstream retention/deletion terms.

Seller-outcome evidence

Handshake AI: No independently audited operating-business payout established in this research. Provider cases and partnership confirmations do not establish a typical seller outcome.

Replay: No independently audited operating-business payout established in this research. Provider cases and partnership confirmations do not establish a typical seller outcome.

Put two routes side by side.
