How we grade them
| 2.6GPADropcontactGood | 2.4GPAProspeoFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B€24 a month billed yearly for 500 credits, and a credit goes only when a verified email comes back. It's priced by credits, not seats, and even for one person that's inside this category's cheaper quarter ($34). The listing doesn't say how many can share it. | C$185 a month for five on Starter, billed yearly: $37 a user, between this category's cheaper quarter ($34) and its middle ($39). Each user gets 2,000 credits a month, at 1 an email and 10 a mobile number. |
| Free plan and trial | C50 free credits to try it, and no free plan after that. You can also pay for a month, run one file and cancel. | CA free plan with 100 credits a month for good, 28 filters, 3 intent topics, 5 AI searches and the Chrome extension. Better than most here, but 100 credits is about 10 mobile numbers. |
| Features | CEmail finding and checking from a file, one at a time or by API, with company data and job-change alerts on Growth. It does the email job fully, but that's a smaller job: no database to search, and no phone numbers below Entreprise. | BUp to 41 filters, verified emails and mobiles, AI search and lookalikes, a Chrome extension, CSV and API enrichment, an MCP server, and CRM sync with job-change tracking on Growth. It covers the whole job. |
| Ease of use | BNo App Store rating on record, but there's almost nothing to learn: drop in a CSV or Excel file and get it back with the emails filled in. | CNo App Store rating on record. Searching is the main job here, with up to 41 filters and intent topics, so there's some learning before your lists come out right. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, with an API, an MCP server and a Google Sheets add-on, plus HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zapier and n8n. No desktop or phone apps. | BWeb and a Chrome extension, with HubSpot, Salesforce, Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist and Google Sheets, plus an API and an MCP server for Claude and ChatGPT. |
| Best for | GDPR-minded email finding for European teams | low-cost emails and mobiles from a lead database |

Worth knowing
Dropcontact

- Unused credits carry over only on Growth with an active subscription; Starter quotas reset at each renewal.
- The pricing page lists business emails only; mobile numbers are mentioned for the Entreprise CRM offer.
Prospeo
- Credits reset each billing cycle and do not roll over; yearly plans grant the year's credits upfront.
- A mobile number costs 10 credits, so Starter's 2,000 monthly credits cover about 200 numbers.
- Plans are priced per user, and HubSpot and Salesforce sync starts on Growth.
- Extra credits are sold as add-ons from 1,000 credits for $10.
