Leadfeeder vs Koala 2026: Koala Is Shutting Down

Leadfeeder starts at €79/month for company-level website visitor ID; Koala starts at $200/month for AI-driven intent scoring, roughly 2.5x pricier at the entry tier before you even convert currencies. The bigger issue: Koala was acquired by Cursor and is shutting down September 30, 2026, per getkoala.com's own homepage banner. That changes which tool you should actually pick this month.

Leadfeeder vs Koala: pricing and capability side by side

Here's the comparison that matters before you sign a contract. Five axes, both vendors' own numbers, one shutdown date neither of them is hiding but neither is shouting about either.

Axis	Leadfeeder	Koala	Source
Pricing (entry paid tier)	€79/mo annual, €113/mo monthly (Discover)	$200/mo (Starter, 1,000 credits)	per each vendor's pricing page
Pricing (mid tier)	€369/mo annual (Activate, most popular)	$1,000/mo (Growth, most popular)	per each vendor's pricing page
Core capability	Company-level visitor ID + CRM sync	Person-level intent scoring + agentic AI routing	per each vendor's product page
Data accuracy basis	Reverse IP-to-company matching	30+ signal sources, 30+ enrichment sources per Koala	per Koala's product page
Best-fit team size	Solo marketer to SMB sales team	Mid-market RevOps team with a real sales-engagement stack	internal Modern Inbound assessment

Leadfeeder used to be called Dealfront. As of this year the company reversed that decision and the product is branded Leadfeeder again, per leadfeeder.com's own pricing page, which still carries a "Dealfront is now Leadfeeder" explainer. If you saw "Dealfront" in a 2024 vendor list, that's the same tool.

Should you even evaluate Koala right now?

No. Koala announced it was acquired by Cursor and will shut down on September 30, 2026, per the banner on getkoala.com. Signing a $1,000/mo Growth contract for a platform with a published shutdown date is not a decision, it's a countdown.

If you already run Koala, start migrating your intent-signal workflow now. If you're evaluating tools fresh in August 2026, cross Koala off the list and put that budget toward Leadfeeder or a data vendor with no exit announcement.

What does Leadfeeder actually cost per month in 2026?

Leadfeeder runs five tiers: Lite (free, last 100 companies, 7-day history), Discover (€79/mo annual, €113/mo monthly), Activate (€369/mo annual, €527/mo monthly, verified contacts and B2B campaigns), Scale (€599/mo, annual billing only, dedicated CSM), and Enterprise (custom), per leadfeeder.com's pricing page.

Discover is company identification and CRM syncing only, no verified emails. If your cold email team needs contact-level data to actually send to, you need Activate at minimum. That's the real starting price for outbound use, not the €79 headline number.

What did Koala actually do well before the shutdown news?

Koala's pitch was agentic: it scored intent, unified 30+ signal sources, and auto-routed high-fit accounts into outreach, per Koala's own product page. That's a genuinely different capability than Leadfeeder's company-flagging model, and it's why the Growth tier at $1,000/mo existed for teams running real workflows, not solo operators checking a dashboard.

Which tool fits your cold email motion?

Website visitor ID tools feed a specific gap: you know a company visited your site, you just need a name, a verified email, and a reason to reach out today. Neither Leadfeeder nor Koala sends the email or manages sending infrastructure. That's a separate problem.

Teams sending 500+ cold emails a month pair a visitor-ID tool with a proper data waterfall and copywriting layer, not just a dashboard alert. We've booked 3,000+ qualified B2B meetings for clients running exactly that stack, and the visitor-ID tool is never the bottleneck.

Frequently asked questions

Is Koala shutting down in 2026?

Yes. Koala was acquired by Cursor and announced it will shut down on September 30, 2026, per the notice posted directly on getkoala.com. Existing customers should plan a migration path before that date.

Is Leadfeeder the same company as Dealfront?

Yes. Leadfeeder rebranded to Dealfront in prior years, then reversed the change and is branded Leadfeeder again as of 2026, per leadfeeder.com's pricing page, which still explains the "Dealfront is now Leadfeeder" switch.

How much does Leadfeeder cost per month?

Leadfeeder has a free Lite tier, then paid plans starting at €79/month (annual billing) for Discover, €369/month for Activate, and €599/month for Scale, per leadfeeder.com's pricing page. Enterprise pricing is custom.

Should I sign up for Koala given the Cursor acquisition?

Not for a new contract. With a published September 30, 2026 shutdown date per getkoala.com, any new spend on Koala has a hard expiration built in. Evaluate Leadfeeder or another active visitor-ID vendor instead.

If you'd rather skip evaluating visitor-ID tools altogether and just get qualified meetings on the calendar, that's what Modern Inbound's setup service does. We handle the data waterfall, the copy, and the sending infrastructure so a website-visitor alert turns into a booked call instead of a name in a dashboard.
