Editor's Choice Free Plan

Unified sales intelligence and engagement platform for B2B teams

Price From USD49
Users 500,000+

Best For

  • Solo Founders and Solopreneurs
  • Sales Development Representatives (SDRs)
  • Account Executives
  • Marketers
  • Revenue Operations Teams

Main Downsides

  • Free plan limits email connections to Gmail and Microsoft accounts only — any other email provider requires a paid plan to connect sequences
  • Export credit system requires learning before your first bulk export session to avoid exhausting your monthly allocation prematurely
  • Database coverage varies by market — 265M+ is the total count but density in niche industries, non-US geographies, and specialized verticals is lower than in US-based tech and financial services
  • Paid plan prices were not confirmed from the live page at time of writing due to JavaScript rendering — verify at apollo.io/pricing before upgrading
  • Sequence builder has a learning curve for multi-step campaigns with A/B testing and conditional branches — the first sequence takes meaningfully longer than the third
  • Deal pipeline and CRM features are functional but not a full CRM replacement — teams with complex client management needs typically still need a dedicated CRM alongside Apollo

Key Pros & Advantages

Free forever Starter plan with no credit card required gives genuine access to the contact database, email sequencing, and Chrome Extension before any financial commitment 265M+ contacts and 30M+ companies with a 91% email accuracy rate backed by a 7-step verification process, 72M emails verified monthly, and 150M contacts refreshed monthly AI Assistant builds prospecting lists and outreach sequences directly inside Apollo from plain-language descriptions — no copy-pasting between tools Consolidates B2B data, outreach sequencing, dialer, inbound lead routing, and deal tracking in one platform, replacing the two-to-three tool stack most solo founders otherwise need Self-serve access, self-serve cancellation, no annual contract minimum, no sales call required — the opposite of the enterprise data tool purchase experience SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, CCPA, CPRA, EU-US DPF, PCI DSS, and CASA Tier 2 certified — a stronger security stack than most tools at this price range

Free Plan

High-accuracy B2B sales intelligence and contact enrichment platform.

Price From USD50
Users 1,000,000+

Best For

  • SDRs and Sales Reps
  • Solo Founders and Early-Stage Startup Founders
  • Revenue Operations Teams
  • Recruiters

Main Downsides

  • Phone-first outbound consumes credits at 10x the rate of email-first: 10 credits per phone reveal means a plan with 200 monthly credits covers only 20 phone contacts per month
  • Annual plan credits don't roll over — unused credits at year-end reset with no refund, making it risky to buy annual before confirming your real monthly usage
  • Built-in Engage sequencing tool is less developed than Apollo's sequence builder for multi-step, A/B-tested, reply-detected email campaigns
  • Teams of more than 5 users can't self-serve a Scale plan — they have to contact sales, introducing friction for small growing teams wanting to stay self-serve
  • Database coverage thins in niche industries, smaller geographic markets, and highly specialized roles — 'data not available' is more frequent in these segments
  • Paid plan prices require visiting lusha.com/pricing in a browser to see current figures — they don't render without JavaScript

Key Pros & Advantages

Chrome Extension delivers verified direct dials and emails on LinkedIn profiles in under 30 seconds, with a one-click CRM push — the fastest contact retrieval workflow for LinkedIn-heavy researchers in the category 280M+ verified B2B contacts with 98% email deliverability and 86% phone accuracy, refreshed daily, covering North America, EMEA, LATAM, and APAC (per official data page at lusha.com/data) Credit pricing is transparent before every action: 1 credit per email, 10 credits per phone number, displayed before reveal with no hidden consumption and no credits charged when data is unavailable Free plan delivers genuine utility: 70 credits/month, Chrome Extension, CRM integrations, no credit card required, unused monthly credits roll over up to 2x the limit Buying Signals (job changes, funding rounds, hiring surges, intent signals, technology stack changes) route into CRM and automation workflows via Lusha Plays — enabling signal-triggered outreach without manual monitoring GDPR, CCPA, SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27701, ISO 27001, TRUSTe Responsible AI certified — a strong compliance stack for founders handling contact data in European markets
Hunter

Free Plan

Professional email discovery and verification platform for B2B outreach.

Price From EUR34
Users 4,000,000+

Best For

  • Solo founders doing B2B outreach
  • Freelancers and consultants prospecting for new clients
  • Sales reps and SDRs
  • Recruiters sourcing passive candidates
  • Marketers running partnerships or link-building campaigns

Main Downsides

  • No phone numbers or direct dials anywhere in the platform — email-only.
  • Signals is capped at 20 per month on Starter, which isn't enough for consistent intent-based outreach workflows.
  • Free plan limits sequence recipients to 500 and connects only one email account.
  • Support is email-based only — no live chat on any plan, including Scale at €299/month.
  • Click tracking and image attachments in sequences require a paid plan.
  • Non-Gmail and non-Outlook email providers require SMTP/IMAP on a paid plan — the free plan won't connect them.

Key Pros & Advantages

Free plan includes 50 credits/month with no credit card and no time limit — enough to test database coverage before paying anything. Every email result includes the public source URL where Hunter found it, so you can tell recipients exactly how you found them. Email finding is free if nothing is found, and the same search in the same billing period counts only once. Sequences sends from your own Gmail or Outlook account, which is the right approach for cold email deliverability. Self-serve signup, self-serve cancellation, no annual contract required on any paid plan. Hunter has been independently owned and bootstrapped since 2015 with no documented pricing increases.

Free Plan

Enterprise GTM platform combining B2B data with AI automation

Price From Free
Users 3,500,000+

Best For

  • Sales Development Representatives (SDRs)
  • Account Executives (AEs)
  • Account-Based Marketing Teams
  • Revenue Operations Teams
  • Recruiting Teams

Main Downsides

  • Pricing is not published, starts at approximately $15,000/year, requires a sales call to access, and is available on annual contracts only with no monthly billing option
  • Auto-renewal clause requires written cancellation notice 60 to 90 days before contract end — missing this window automatically extends the contract for another full year at the then-current rate
  • Credits don't roll over: monthly user credits expire at month-end, annual bulk credits expire at contract end, with no refund for unused allocation
  • No self-serve free trial — there is no way to validate data quality for your specific target market and segment before signing a contract
  • Platform complexity requires dedicated revenue operations capacity to configure enrichment automation, workflow triggers, and Copilot settings — without that, many paid features go unused
  • The value case for solo founders and small businesses is extremely weak against Apollo.io ($49/month), which delivers the core contact data use case without the contract risk or minimum commitment

Key Pros & Advantages

Best-in-category B2B contact database with verified direct dials, verified emails, org charts, and technographic data at a depth and accuracy level that genuinely differentiates from cheaper alternatives at enterprise outbound volumes ZoomInfo Copilot consolidates account research, outreach generation, pipeline monitoring, and CRM automation into one workspace, reducing tool-switching overhead for SDR and AE workflows Trusted by 35,000+ companies worldwide including Adobe, Google, Microsoft, AWS, and Canva, with documented enterprise case study outcomes from named customers on the official homepage Intent data on Advanced and Elite plans identifies in-market buyers before they raise their hand, enabling outreach at the right moment rather than after a shortlist is already formed ZoomInfo University provides structured onboarding and ongoing training across all products and plan tiers, including Copilot open office hours and package-specific on-demand courses Platform breadth covers the full GTM stack — sales, marketing, talent, and operations — reducing the number of separate point solutions for a mature revenue organization
