How to choose

  • Team size and seats: count how many people need access and whether the price is per user or a flat fee.
  • Channels: decide whether you need work emails, mobile numbers or both, and whether reps will work in a CRM, a browser or an API.
  • Contract terms: ask about term length, renewal and what happens to exported records if you leave.
  • Reporting: check what usage and performance reports an admin can see.
  • Handover: confirm how contacts reach your reps, through CRM sync, CSV export or an API.

Apollo

Apollo advertises verified email and phone contact access that teams can use while working in the tools they already use. Its analytics page describes features for reviewing sales calls, assessing rep performance and highlighting wins. That mix suits sales leaders who want contact data and coaching reports close together. Pricing is not published on the pages we reviewed, so ask for current plan and credit details and check which plan includes the features you need.

Cognism

Cognism advertises phone-verified mobile data that helps teams connect faster. It also advertises intent, hiring, job-change and funding signals. Its homepage describes B2B data for growing pipeline with a European focus. The same page promises precise, compliant data for the companies and decision-makers that matter, and says verified data can connect to AI assistants and GTM systems. The pricing page invites buyers to talk to an expert, so request a quote and ask how seats and data access are packaged.

Kaspr

Kaspr shows four plan levels on its pricing page. Free is priced at $0, Starter lists $49 and Business lists $79 in dollars, and Enterprise is custom for bigger teams. Each paid price sits beside a second, higher figure, so confirm which one applies to your billing term. Kaspr's own site invites visitors to discover its features. It suits individual reps and small teams that want to start free, and larger groups that need a custom arrangement.

LeadIQ

LeadIQ states that plans start at $15 per user per month, with Pro starting at 2,400 Universal Credits per month in one credit pool across every LeadIQ product. It says it has always focused on accurate B2B contact data and on making the platform easy to use and adopt. LeadIQ also says plans at that starting price carry higher credit allocations than the tiers of a rival it compares itself with. That suits sales teams that like a per-user price and shared credits. These price statements appear on LeadIQ's own blog, so confirm current plans before you buy.

Lusha

Lusha advertises enrichment that fills in missing emails, phone numbers and company details through CRM, CSV and API workflows. Its blog says the goal is to make its API easy to build on so teams spend time on the product experience instead of documentation. Its pricing page mentions basic prospecting features and a browser extension. It suits RevOps and developer-minded teams that enrich records in bulk. Pricing is not published on the pages we reviewed, so ask for current credit and plan details.

RocketReach

RocketReach advertises 700M profiles and 60M companies worldwide, with coverage in healthcare, legal, founders, technology and more. Autopilot lets users create automated workflows to discover and engage prospects in a few clicks. Its Contact Data API is described as 4.5B records for enriching leads and powering workflows. It suits teams that prospect in specialist sectors or want data inside their own systems. Pricing is not published on the pages we reviewed, so request current plan details.

SalesIntel

SalesIntel describes its platform as an end-to-end B2B pipeline generation platform. The vendor highlights its contact and company data and its customer service. It says it moved to an unlimited data pricing plan. For pricing, its page invites buyers to contact the team to craft the right solution at the right price. Ask what the unlimited plan covers in your quote, including users, exports and add-ons.

Seamless.AI

Seamless.AI's startup page describes embedding intelligence directly into a CRM, product or revenue workflow. Its enterprise page says enterprises can customize features to meet specific goals, scale up and integrate with existing tech stacks. That makes it worth a look for startups with workflow ideas and for larger teams with an established stack. Pricing is not published on the pages we reviewed, so ask for plan and credit details before you commit.

UpLead

UpLead advertises real-time verified B2B emails, mobile numbers and intent data. Its about page says it builds features into the product to verify data in real time before it lands in your CRM. The pricing page lists a Free Trial at $0 for 7 days with 5 credits, Essentials at $99 a month with 170 credits, and Plus at $199 a month with 400 credits. An annual view lists Essentials at $74 a month with 2,040 credits. It suits teams that buy by credit, so compare the credit count with the size of the lists you plan to build.

ZoomInfo

ZoomInfo describes itself as an all-in-one AI GTM Platform that helps B2B sales, marketing, RevOps and customer success teams find, win and grow business. ZoomInfo Labs and Data Services handle professional services and large or complex data projects. Overall pricing is based on licenses and credit usage, as well as desired features. The cost of credits is based on the depth of information a customer requires. It suits teams with broad needs, so ask for a quote that spells out licenses and credits.
