What Klue and Obsession are
Klue: competitive intelligence and win-loss for sales teams
As of 11 November 2026, Klue’s home page reads “The AI platform for Competitive Intelligence & Win-Loss” and “One platform where your competitive intelligence and win-loss programs run together”. It names a Compete Agent, Auto Insights, Deal Support and win-loss work through an AI Interviewer, human expert interviews and Blindspots interviews, with sellers getting cited answers in tools such as Slack, Salesforce, Gong, Highspot and Glean.
Its pricing page lists no plans or prices, only “GET A DEMO”, and says “250,000+ users rely on Klue”, with battlecards at the centre (“Create and update battlecards”). Its pages don’t describe signing up to a competitor’s product, the onboarding emails a competitor sends, or where a competitor’s free plan stops.
Obsession: what competitors show the people who sign up
Obsession collects what companies show only to customers, step by step: their screens, emails and texts, member prices, trial limits, quotes and cancel offers, each dated with a screenshot. Teams and AI agents look up any company through the API or MCP, and a company not yet covered is added on request. For a software competitor that means its plans and trial limits, the day its upgrade prompt appears, every onboarding email and the offer in its cancel flow, each with the screen or the email behind it.

When to use Klue, and when to use Obsession
- Use Klue to run the programme: collect what the market says, interview buyers about wins and losses, and put a current battlecard in front of a rep in the deal.
- Use Obsession for the facts a battlecard needs and no interview gives you: what a competitor’s free plan includes, when it asks for an upgrade, what it emails a new account on days 1 to 14, and what it offers a customer who tries to leave. Each fact is dated, with a screenshot or the raw email, so a rep can show it.
- Use Obsession across many competitors at once. Insights asks one question, such as “what does each competitor’s free plan include?”, across a list of companies and answers with a row per company.
Using Klue and Obsession together
A product marketing or competitive intelligence team can feed Obsession’s facts into the battlecards it keeps in Klue: the trial teardown, the onboarding emails and the cancel offer, each linked to its receipt. The facts arrive over the API, MCP or a webhook the moment they land, so a card can change the week a competitor changes its trial.
For every option in this lane, see Klue alternatives by job and Crayon alternatives. The worked example of a trial teardown is on the software trials use case.
