Editor's Verdict

Score: 6.5/10. LeadIQ is a broad capture and enrichment tool for sales teams, but credit costs and cancellation terms suit solo founders less.

Ideal user: A sales rep or founder selling larger deals, who needs specific people's emails and phones and already has a CRM or outreach tool.

Better fit for other needs: LeadIQ's own pages compare it with Apollo, Lusha, ZoomInfo, Cognism, and Seamless.ai. Check current prices on their sites, and look for one that accepts CSV uploads on its standard plan.

Bottom line: Start with the 30-day trial, count how many phone numbers you truly need, then pick the smallest tier that covers them. Don't pay annually until you've checked data quality in your market.

Who Should Skip This?

Skip LeadIQ if you need many phone numbers on a small budget. One phone number costs 10 credits, and a full contact (email plus phone) costs 11. LeadIQ's own comparison pages name Apollo, Lusha, and ZoomInfo, so check their current prices first.

Skip it if you work from ready-made CSV lists. File enrichment by CSV upload is listed under Enterprise only. Look for a tool that accepts file uploads on its standard plan.

Skip it if you want a flexible subscription. The Terms allow upgrades only during a term, and cancellation takes effect at the end of the term. There are no refunds, so each cycle is a full commitment.

Analysis Summary

You sell to companies and need the right person's email and phone number. LeadIQ captures contacts from your browser and pushes them into your CRM. The catch: a phone number costs 10 credits, and credits expire at the end of your term.

Real-World Workflow Example

The task: You sell to small software companies and need the email and phone of product managers at 30 firms.

  1. Capture: Open each person's page and click the LeadIQ extension to pull email and phone.
  2. Count: Emails for 30 people cost 30 credits, and their phones cost 300, so full contacts total 330 credits.
  3. Sync: Send the contacts to HubSpot, Salesforce, or the outreach tool you use.
  4. Write: Use the AI message writer to personalize the first email for each person.
  5. Follow: Turn on job-change tracking for people you've dealt with before.

LeadIQ publishes no time estimates for these steps. What it publishes are company case studies: WalkMe says it saved 1,000 hours a quarter, and Clari says 600. This task needs 330 credits, which is more than the smallest tier shown (200).

ROI: Is it worth the cash?

If the $200 figure covers 200 credits, a full contact costs $11, and the minimum tier gives you about 18 per month. With the 25% annual discount, a full contact drops to about $8.25.

The math works if your deals are large. One $1,000 deal covers a $200 subscription five times. If you sell a small product for tens of dollars, the cost can eat your margin.

It weakens if you need many phone numbers, since 300 credits for 30 phones alone exceeds the minimum tier. Try the free plan first, and remember fees are non-refundable.

Pricing Reality

Free Plan

Free

Essential Plan

$45 /month

Pro Plan

$89 /month

Free: $0 for one user with 50 credits. It includes people search, the extension, job tracking, the message writer, and API access. Search of LeadIQ's own database is limited.

Pro: starts at $200/month at 200 credits. It supports up to 5 users, and the slider runs from 200 to 6,750 credits with the price changing as you move it. The page text shows no prices for other tiers.

Cost per credit: If the $200 figure covers 200 credits, one credit costs $1. An email costs $1, a phone $10, a full contact $11, and a company account enrichment $3. That's about 18 full contacts at the minimum.

Monthly vs annual: The page shows an "Annual billing (25% off)" toggle and a "Monthly billing" toggle. The static page text doesn't say which one the $200 figure reflects, so check it before paying. If it's the monthly price, annual comes to about $150/month, or $0.75 per credit.

Enterprise: Custom pricing on an annual plan only. It adds AI Account Prospecting, CSV file enrichment, Salesforce duplicate detection, team analytics, SSO, and the Lando agent.

Price history: LeadIQ introduced Universal Credits in place of separate quotas per feature. The official pages publish no record of older prices. The Terms say fees may change at renewal and mention legacy unlimited plans with a 10,000-credit fair-use cap per user per month.

If you cancel: Cancellation takes effect at the end of your term. Access ends at termination with no refund, and unused credits expire. Free plan credits expire after one year per the Terms, and LeadIQ can end the free plan at any time without notice.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • The Free plan includes people search (email and mobile), the extension, job-change tracking, an AI message writer, enrichment, and API access.
  • The pricing page says any plan can be tried free for 30 days.
  • Universal Credits uses one credit pool across search, enrichment, and tracking.
  • The company claims 750M+ professional profiles refreshed monthly, and over 90% accuracy on verified phone numbers.
  • SOC 2 Type II, encryption in transit and at rest, and role-based access, with a DPA and sub-processor list published.
  • LeadIQ is a documented Claude connector that uses your existing credits and needs a paid subscription.

Cons

  • Phones cost 10 credits and emails cost 1, so credits drain quickly when you search for phone numbers.
  • Credits have no cash value and expire at the end of the subscription term: end of month for monthly, end of year for annual.
  • All fees are non-refundable, subscriptions auto-renew, and annual plans need 30 days' notice before the term ends.
  • AI Account Prospecting, the Lando agent, Salesforce duplicate detection, team analytics, and SSO are Enterprise only.
  • The Terms limit data use to internal B2B purposes and make you the controller of any EU data you obtain.
  • The Terms disclaim any warranty on data accuracy, while the site advertises over 90% accuracy on verified phones.

Setup & Onboarding

You click "Start free" and land on the account signup page. The Free plan card says setup takes under 5 minutes. The official pages don't mention a card requirement for the Free plan.

The strongest early moment is capture from your browser. You open a person's page, get contact details, personalize your message, and push the record to your CRM or outreach tool. That's what LeadIQ describes for its Prospector product.

Friction comes from credits. The Free plan gives you 50, which is five phone numbers. That may run out before you can judge data quality.

The Terms say Free plan credits expire after a year and that LeadIQ can end the plan without notice. LeadIQ publishes no official time estimate for your first useful contact.

UI/UX Analysis

The homepage shows products as cards: capture, enrichment, job tracking, AI prospecting, the Claude connector, and the Lando agent. The company recently said Lando turns any data into one live table.

These are marketing pages, and the pages reviewed don't show the product interface itself. Extension speed and stability can't be described from official sources.

  • Pricing Page: A phone costs ten times an email, so count the phone numbers you need before picking a tier.
  • Universal Credits: One balance simplifies tracking, but it also means enrichment draws from the same pool as search.
  • Claude connector (MCP): The connector needs a paid subscription and doesn't work on the Free plan.

Support Reality

The listed channels are support@leadiq.com, the phone line 1-888-653-2347, and the help center at leadiqhelp.zendesk.com. For privacy requests, the address is privacy@leadiq.com.

LeadIQ publishes no response time and doesn't say whether support differs between Free and Pro. The Terms require a 30-day informal resolution attempt with support before arbitration.

The service is provided "as is" with no promise of uninterrupted operation. Liability is capped at the fees you paid in the 12 months before the incident.

What Real Users Say

This review doesn't use review sites or forums, so it includes no summary of independent opinions. That's a known limit of this review.

The official pages show curated G2 excerpts from sales reps, business development managers, and operations leads. They also show G2 badges for Spring 2025 and case studies from WalkMe, Optimizely, Clari, Greenhouse, and others.

These are marketing materials the company chose, and most come from people on teams. Check current G2 ratings yourself, and look for feedback from someone working alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The Free plan includes 1 user and 50 credits per month with no credit card required. It includes the Chrome Extension, Champion Tracking, Scribe AI message writer, Signals, CRM integrations, and limited database search. It is a genuine ongoing free tier, not a time-limited trial.
LeadIQ applies different credit costs based on data type. Email addresses cost 1 credit each and phone numbers cost 10 credits each. Capturing both email and phone for one contact costs 11 credits. This reflects the higher cost of sourcing and verifying mobile numbers at the accuracy levels LeadIQ states. It is worth factoring into your credit tier choice before subscribing.
Both plans include the same features. Free provides 50 credits per month for 1 user with limited database search. Pro provides up to 5 users with credits purchased by volume, starting at 200 credits per month for $200. Full database search access is limited on both plans. Only Enterprise gets unrestricted database search access.
Lando is LeadIQ's conversational AI agent that reads your CRM context and finds contacts via natural language inside the Chrome Extension. It is currently rolling out in waves to existing LeadIQ customers only and is not broadly available as of March 2026.
No. LeadIQ captures and verifies contact data and syncs it to your CRM and outreach platform. It does not send emails or run sequences. You still need a separate tool such as Outreach, Salesloft, HubSpot, or Mailshake for actual outreach.
Native integrations include Salesforce, HubSpot, Outreach, Salesloft, Gong, Groove by Clari, Clay, Chili Piper, Nooks, and Orum. Workflow automation is available via Zapier and Workato. The LeadIQ API is available on all plans including Free for custom integrations.
