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 ServiceNow resolution histories, Hookshot names a current fastest focus. Replay lists CRM, support, threads, code/commits, docs, financial records, presentations and product analytics. Broader categories do not establish current buyer demand.

Hookshot Data / Protege AI: source 1 ↗ source 2 ↗ Replay: source 1 ↗ source 2 ↗ source 3 ↗ Public descriptions, not tested seller outcomes.

Data fit

For your existing records, start with category fit: Hookshot Data / Protege AI lists ServiceNow ITSM resolutions (current fastest focus), SOPs, CRM, incidents, engineering reviews, finance and wikis; Replay lists CRM, support, threads, code/commits, docs, financial records, presentations and product analytics. Ask each which subset has active demand before preparing exports.

Payment trigger

Hookshot Data / Protege AI: Payment timing not established; ask the provider. 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.

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

Hookshot Data / Protege 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.
