How we grade them
| 2.8GPAClayGood | 2.2GPAFindymailFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | BLaunch is $167 a month billed yearly with unlimited seats, about $33.40 a head for five, just inside this category's cheaper quarter ($34). It buys 2,500 data credits and 15,000 actions a month. On your own, the whole $167 is yours to pay. | CNo prices on record, as the pricing page turned our reader away, so it sits at the ordinary grade with no five-person figure. An email costs 1 finder credit and a phone number 10, charged only when found. |
| Free plan and trial | CA free plan with 100 data credits and 500 actions a month, unlimited seats, waterfalls and Claygent, plus a 14-day trial. But tables stop at 200 rows and there's no phone enrichment. | CA free account with 10 credits to test it, and no card needed. Enough to see whether the addresses hold up, not much more. |
| Features | AWaterfalls across 150-plus providers, where a lookup that finds nothing costs nothing, plus Claygent for web research, job-change signals, its own sequencer and CRM and warehouse sync. No rival here draws on so many sources. | CAn email finder and verifier, a phone finder, a plain-language company search, employees by job title, signals and tech lookup, all with an API. The gap: no browser extension or integrations on record. |
| Ease of use | CNo App Store rating on record, and this is a web app where the work is building the table itself. If spreadsheet formulas make you nervous, expect a learning curve. | BNo App Store rating on record, but the main job needs nothing set up: type a name and company, or paste a profile link, and get a verified email back. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb only, but with HubSpot, Pipedrive, Attio, Outreach, Instantly, lemlist, Apollo.io and Snowflake on the list, and webhooks from Growth. No desktop or phone apps. | CWeb only, with an API and webhooks. The listing names no integrations, no browser extension and no phone app. |
| Best for | building custom lead lists from many data sources | verified emails, charged only when found |
