What's the difference between Rwazi and Kantar?

Kantar builds strategic segmentation, brand equity, and marketing effectiveness for companies, drawn from what people say, think, and feel through in-depth conversations and continuous brand tracking. Rwazi powers the decisions enterprises run on, across 190+ countries. Sena makes each one defensible: real activity from a 5M+ consumer network, verified by computer vision, and goes through a QA flow before it reaches your desk.

Kantar tells a company who to target and how its brand is landing. Sena shows what those exact people are buying this week, at what price, and where, then turns it into the next move, framed in money.

The segment's actual baskets

Segmentation names who to target. Sena captures what those people buy, where, and at what price, scoped to the segment's own markets, so the strategy meets its shoppers.

Effectiveness, running live

Campaign lift by market, share-of-voice movement, where the spend is converting: Sena keeps that picture current between effectiveness studies, so the reallocation call arrives mid-flight.

A move, decided before the spend

Sena weighs the campaign or pricing move against live signals and returns the call before the budget is committed.

Where Kantar reaches its edges?

Kantar is a strong choice for strategic segmentation, brand equity, and marketing effectiveness at global scale. Teams look for a Kantar alternative when a few specific decisions sit between the big studies.

Global expansion and portfolio decisions

Global cross-market, cross-category view of what people buy

Built around strategic segmentation and brand understanding, so a budget spread across many countries and categories calls for one live view of actual buying.

Demand sensing

Movement between the strategic studies

Segmentation and positioning studies refresh on a project cadence, so the shift that starts between two engagements surfaces in the next one.

Say-do checks before you commit spend

What people actually buy now, alongside what they say

Built from what people say, think, and feel, so live buying activity adds the other half of the picture.

Executive decision support

The decision itself, drawn from the study

The strategy work lands; the operational call between engagements still needs an answer with evidence.

Custom decision support

Bespoke live decision questions

Built around structured study frameworks, so the in-the-moment question is deferred until the next engagement.

How Rwazi helps where the gap shows

A bespoke decision question, answered directly.

The segmentation says urban value-seekers; the question is what they bought this month. Ask Sena, and it captures what that segment is buying first-hand across its own geographies, down to price points and channels.

What people actually buy, alongside what they say.

The campaign is live, and the effectiveness study reports after it ends. Sena follows lift by market, and where spend is converting while it runs, so the reallocation happens mid-flight instead of next quarter.

Between the strategic studies, live.

The board asks what the brand work is worth this quarter. Sena frames the near-term move as money won or lost and turns the answer into a board-ready deck in one click.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Rwazi and Kantar?+

Kantar builds strategic segmentation, brand equity, and marketing effectiveness for companies, drawn from what people say, think, and feel through in-depth conversations and continuous brand tracking. Rwazi captures consent-based consumer activity across 190+ countries and every category, and Sena turns it into evidence-backed decisions. Kantar tells a company who to target and how its brand is landing; Sena shows what those people are buying now and hands back the next move, framed in money.

How current is Kantar's data?+

Kantar runs continuous brand tracking, and its segmentation and positioning studies refresh on a project cadence, which suits brand and positioning work. Sena runs on the market's clock: live capture of what people are buying, so the movement between two engagements is visible while there is still time to act.

Does Rwazi replace Kantar?+

Most companies keep Kantar for strategic segmentation, brand equity, and marketing effectiveness, and add Sena for a real-time view of what people actually buy. Kantar tells you who to target and how your brand is landing; Sena shows what those people are buying now and turns it into the decision. The two sit together well.

What is zero-party data?+

Zero-party data is information people hand over themselves, with consent. Rwazi gathers consumer activity this way across 190+ countries, so every signal is yours to use and traces back to a named source. That consent and traceability is what lets Sena stand behind every decision it returns.

Do Rwazi and Kantar publish pricing?+

Both price by plan and scope rather than a public list. The cheapest way to compare is a scoped pilot: one market or one category, your own question, and the answer in front of you before you commit anything larger. To know more about pricing, click here.

What does Kantar do?+

Kantar helps companies understand their market and build their brand. Its work spans strategic segmentation, brand equity and tracking, marketing and media effectiveness, and qualitative depth through in-depth conversations with people. Few firms match that qualitative depth, which is exactly why companies keep it.

Which is better for global or cross-category teams?+

It depends on the decision. For strategic segmentation, brand equity, and marketing effectiveness, Kantar is built for exactly that, and companies keep it. For the call that turns on what people are buying this week, across many countries and categories, Sena is the better fit: live baskets and the answer framed in money. Most teams run both.

How is Rwazi's Decision AI different from a strategic study?+

A strategic study gives you a considered view for a moment in time. Sena keeps deciding after it lands: live buying activity and the call with the evidence attached, current as the market moves.

How do you know the data is representative?+

Every signal comes from a real person who shares it directly, with consent, carrying a geo-tag and a timestamp. An automated falsification check and a multi-step QA flow verify each one before it reaches Sena, and coverage is weighted by contributor density and geography. Many answers open to the dated photo behind the number. We can share market-level validation for your own category, so the numbers stand up to the same scrutiny as the ones you take to your board. Coverage varies by market, and we are clear about where it is deepest.
