The only Marketo alternative for Temporal
Native attribution and reporting, full Marketo parity plus scoring and ABM, deep Salesforce custom-object and warehouse support for lifecycle, and one-to-one campaigns for every growth account. One platform, one admin, far more output.

Reporting tied to pipeline and revenue
Marketo reporting stops at smart-list filters, which is why your leadership cannot see what actually sources pipeline. Conversion builds attribution into the platform, multi-touch from first click to closed revenue, with AI reporting you query in plain language. It is the layer Inflection does not offer.

The enterprise alternative to Inflection
A modern MAP is table stakes. The question is what you lose and what you gain. Conversion keeps the Marketo long tail Inflection drops, then adds native attribution, agentic scoring, and one-to-one ABM on the same platform.

Built for a custom-object org
Product modeled in Salesforce custom objects and product events in Segment should power lifecycle, not block it. Conversion reads and writes standard and custom objects and reads the warehouse directly, then maps every object to the right person and account so onboarding, activation, expansion, and renewal run off one clean record.

A bespoke experience per growth account
Your growth team wants account-based campaigns that ship faster than the tooling allows today. Conversion turns each target account into an agent workload: custom ads, a custom landing page, and a tailored email sequence off a single account record, with attribution back to pipeline.

This is the play that found you. The ads that re-opened this conversation were built by one agent off a single account record. That is the one-to-one motion your growth team can run on every target account, moving as fast as they want to.

Frequently asked questions
It is built into the platform. Because every touch runs through Conversion and syncs to Salesforce, attribution is tied directly to pipeline and revenue with multi-touch models from first click to closed won, plus AI reporting you query in plain language. There is no separate attribution tool to buy, wire up, or reconcile. This is a capability Inflection does not offer, despite its founders having built a well-known attribution product.
Both are modern and move you off Marketo, but Conversion carries the Marketo long tail that Inflection lacks: campaign-member sync, Salesforce sync logs, webinar and forms parity, and a robust public API with RBAC. On top of parity, Conversion adds native attribution, agentic lead scoring, and one-to-one ABM. It is not a like-for-like swap, it is parity plus additional products on one platform, so your one admin does far more.
Yes. Conversion reads and writes Salesforce standard and custom objects and reads your warehouse directly, then maps that context to the right person and account. Product modeled as custom objects becomes usable in segments, scoring, and lifecycle campaigns, instead of being stuck behind account-object versus person-field mapping. We will scope your specific object model before the technical session so there are no surprises.
Yes. Segment stays as your product-data source and integrates more cleanly than it does with Marketo, so the lifecycle team stops fighting the mapping. Chili Piper stays for routing. Conversion replaces Marketo, adds the missing lead scoring and attribution, and unifies the data underneath so the pieces you keep work better together.
For each target account, one agent builds custom ads across LinkedIn, Meta, and Google, a custom landing page, and a tailored email sequence off a single account record, with multi-touch attribution back to pipeline. It is the same agentic motion that re-opened this conversation, and it lets your growth team move as fast as they want to.
A forward-deployed team runs the migration on a phased plan that fits a decision this quarter and a move in the first half of next year, minimizing product and engineering lift. The goal is to retire Marketo without the internal resourcing crunch that stalls these projects, and to have you fully live well before the next renewal.
