Where UpGrow is a reasonable choice
Credit where it is due. UpGrow was built by growth coach Ward van Gasteren for smaller teams, and it shows in the clean onboarding, ICE scoring and tidy filters.
Upgrow is developed based on the past decade of consulting high-growth companies and optimizing their processes. I made this tool as there was no easy-to-use, affordable tool like this for (smaller) growth teams to really take their growth process serious.

Where Growth Method wins
For any team past that first stage, the gaps in UpGrow are exactly what Growth Method is built to close:
- Results without the data entry. Native integrations mean campaign outcomes arrive automatically instead of being typed in.
- A cadence that compounds. Time-boxed stages keep campaigns moving so you run more of them and learn faster.
- Reporting on tap. Automated, professional reports demonstrate impact without you building a single slide.
- AI-assisted planning. Ideas are categorised automatically and every campaign is held to a clear hypothesis.
- Room to scale. Unlimited viewers and human support mean the whole team can follow along as you grow.
We are on-track to deliver a 43% increase in inbound leads this year. There is no doubt the adoption of Growth Method is the primary driver behind these results.
