Which one is for you
Pick Lead Gibbon if

Look elsewhere if
- Too light for 15 credits a week, if you do more than a few lookups
- Not for you if you need phone numbers or an API, as the pages list neither
- Skip it if you want to send at volume, as sending uses your Gmail and its limits
- Watch out: team discounts are by email request, and no annual plan is shown

- Fits if you want lookups, campaigns and a simple CRM under one bill
- Works for teams where everyone needs access, since seats are unlimited on every plan

- Pricey if you automate LinkedIn, at $69 a month per LinkedIn account, or $59 with a paid plan
- Not for you if you want a refund safety net, as Snov.io's billing FAQ says there are none
- Tight if your outreach is lumpy, since unused recipients expire every billing period
- Tight if you need phone numbers, as they come from enrichment tokens, 75 a month on Starter
- Tight if you're staying free, at 50 credits and 100 recipients every 30 days

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
