Bread & Butter – Identify Website Visitors, Score Leads & Gate Content

Description

Your analytics tells you how many people visited. Your CRM knows the ones who filled out a form. Nobody owns the middle: the visitors who were interested, looked hard, and left without a name.

Bread & Butter is the middle.

They told us who they are. We didn’t guess.

Most visitor identification tools look up an IP address and hand you “someone at Acme.” Bread & Butter identifies people through your own forms and one-click social sign-in, so what lands in your dashboard is a real name, a role, a company, and an email address verified by the provider they signed in with. First-party data, given with consent. Nothing here breaks when third-party cookies finish dying.

What changes on Monday morning

Named, not guessed. Every form submission and sign-in becomes a full profile: verified email, role, seniority, company, industry, location, social profiles. No data entry, no lookups.

Scored, not counted. Focused Score watches how each visitor actually behaves on your site and rates their buying intent from 1 to 10. Bots, scrapers, and your own team drop out. Your Engaged Leads tab shows the people worth calling, ranked.

Briefed, not listed. Each engaged lead gets an Intelligence Brief: who they are, what they looked at, what it means, and what to do next. Sent to Slack, your CRM, or your inbox the moment they qualify.

Works with the forms you already have

Install the plugin and it starts listening. Contact Form 7, WPForms, Gravity Forms, Ninja Forms, Formidable, Elementor forms, newsletter blocks: if there’s an email field on your site, Bread & Butter sees it. Your submissions still go wherever they go today. We run alongside, not in between.

Capture the ones who never fill out forms

Social sign-in on any form. When a visitor clicks into a form field, they can skip typing and verify with Google, Microsoft, LinkedIn, or Apple in one click. More completions, and every one of them is a confirmed identity.

Content gates. Lock your best guide, report, or pricing page behind a one-click sign-in. Lock it immediately, after a scroll depth, or after a time delay. Unlock once, and the visitor is recognized across your whole site.

See which traffic actually pays

The Attribution Report connects each campaign, channel, and keyword to verified people and closed pipeline, not to sessions. Includes traffic from Google Ads, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and partner referrals, with bots stripped out. Your cost per lead becomes a number you can trust.

Who this is for

Revenue teams tired of getting a spreadsheet of email addresses and calling it lead generation. Marketers who need to prove which spend produced customers. Founders selling something considered enough that a name matters more than a click.

Free to start. Lead capture and attribution run on every plan.

Do I have to rebuild or reconfigure my forms?

No. Bread & Butter works with the forms you already have. No field mapping, no CSS changes, no change to what your visitors see.

Does this change where my form submissions go?

No. If a form sends to HubSpot, Mailchimp, or Slack today, it keeps doing exactly that. Bread & Butter listens alongside and sends the enriched profile to your dashboard and, if you choose, to your CRM.

How is this different from IP-based visitor identification?

IP lookup tells you a company, sometimes. Bread & Butter identifies the person, because they signed in or submitted a form. You get a verified email and a name, not an inference.

Will it slow my site down?

The plugin adds one lightweight script that loads asynchronously. It doesn’t block rendering or affect your Core Web Vitals.

What does the free plan include?

Visitor tracking, lead capture from your existing forms, and attribution reporting. AI profile enrichment, Focused Score, and Intelligence Briefs are available on paid plans and during the free trial.

Is this GDPR-compliant?

Bread & Butter uses first-party identification. Visitors are identified when they submit a form or sign in, not through fingerprinting or third-party cookies. See our Privacy Policy.

A plugin that delivers everything I could wish for

By jens (jbrennholt) on July 20, 2025

I wanted to make it easier for my visitors to access the members' area. This easy-to-configure plugin provides access not only via email and password but also via social media accounts.
During the first test, I encountered a problem with the localisation into German: a quick email to the support team, a friendly reply, an official update of the plugin and everything worked as desired.
Conclusion: a plugin that delivers everything I could wish for, with support that leaves me speechless in a positive sense.

Great product. Great support. Great team.

By hellosamkim on January 25, 2025

I don't write much reviews - but the team behind Bread & Butter is nothing but awesome.

They're up to date on their releases; always looking to improve their product and most of all - have a genuine team that is there to support.

I've never had such a seamless experience with plugin support like these guys.

Keep it up!

Fake news

By everythingred on August 13, 2023

It says there are a bunch of email integrations but when you go to Newsletter, there's only Zapier and Mailchimp.

This is exactly what we needed, easy to use and fantastic support!

By elisamilnecps on April 27, 2023

We needed a tool that allowed us to collect data and gate some pages on our website. This plugin and platform has allowed us to do both easily and is now providing us a way forward to develop our website further and be able to market it in the best way to gain more traffic to our site.

The support team is fantastic and we always get a very quick response - they are always happy to help!

Great 1-click social login

By Mariano77 (marianomartene) on April 19, 2023

I'm pretty happy on how easy it was to setup Bread & Butter. It was a great way to provide a one click login for my customers. It's so far the easiest solution I've found in the market, must try!

Gate your Content using Social Logins, without Forms

By colingreig on September 24, 2022

There are other social login plugins out there, but nothing comes close to this one. Within 5 minutes the plugin was up & running and I could add different soft-paywall style content gating options on the website without using legacy custom forms. Now I can see who is on my website, and which content they are engaging with and trigger custom conversion points to GA4 in order to finally get a true funnel view of my website activity. Took about an hour to setup the final Production-ready oauth tokens and keys. That setup is needed regardless of which SSO plugin you go with and will depend on how many social signon options you want to offer.

Frictionless one-click solution for capturing first-party data

By aither on September 15, 2022

If you're looking for a way to remove friction from the process of capturing first-party data then Bread Butter IO is the perfect solution. For a few years now we've been looking for an easy UX friendly solution to reduce friction and capture details about the people visiting our site. Since we've started using Bread and Butter IO we've been able to increase conversions with our content gate on our blog and capture an impressive amount of data about the people visiting our site. Previously we'd only been able to find clunky and ineffective solutions to capturing first-party data. Not to mention how cumbersome and difficult they were to setup. By comparison Bread and Butter IO was very easy to get running. The plugin itself is well-designed - as is their dashboard. I've been very impressed by the development and support team, who are responsive and work hard to address bugs and listen to concerns. The data in Bread and Butter IO also integrates with our CRM. Allowing us to turn marketing data into actionable insights that can inform our lead pipeline.
