Alignable is an online network where local business owners connect, recommend each other, and post updates — a social network and directory for small businesses. eHandshake overlaps on "local businesses referring each other" but goes further: it organizes you into a small local team, writes and publishes your content, and gets that team to actively amplify each post. Alignable is a network you browse; eHandshake is a team that works for you.
| Alignable | eHandshake | |
|---|---|---|
| Model | Large open network / directory | Small curated local team |
| Local referrals | Yes — via connections | Yes — a category-exclusive team |
| Writes your content | No | Yes — posts written for you |
| Amplifies your social posts | No | Yes — your team shares them |
| Category exclusivity | No | Yes (one per category) |
| Post scheduling | No | Not yet — posts on demand |
Alignable's strength is scale and reach — a huge directory for making connections. eHandshake is smaller and more active: a curated local team plus done-for-you content and amplification, aimed at actually bringing in customers rather than growing a contact list.
eHandshake writes and publishes your posts, then a team of local businesses amplifies and refers you. Build a free playbook for your profession in seconds.
