## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.6 out of 4**, graded Oct 17, 2026. ContactOut finds work and personal emails and phone numbers from LinkedIn, which is why recruiters like it. It's a flat $39 a month billed yearly for unlimited emails under a 2,000-a-month fair use cap, with no credits to count. But self-serve plans are one user per company, so a team of five has to talk to sales.

- **Value for money: C.** One person pays $39 a month billed yearly for emails, or $79 with phone numbers, right at this category's middle ($39). Self-serve is one user per company, so a team of five gets a quote from sales, with no figure on record.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** A free plan for one user with 5 emails, 5 phone numbers and 5 exports a day, plus the extension and the search portal. Handy for the odd lookup, but 5 a day goes quickly.
- **Features: B.** Work and personal emails, phone numbers, a search portal with 20-plus filters, a LinkedIn extension, email campaigns, enrichment and recruiting integrations. It covers the whole job, though numbers need the dearer plan.
- **Ease of use: B.** No App Store rating on record, but it's a Chrome extension on the LinkedIn and Sales Navigator you already use. Open a profile and the details are there.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web and a Chrome extension, with Salesforce, HubSpot, Lever, Greenhouse, Bullhorn, Zapier and Gmail. The API comes with team plans. No desktop or phone apps.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace ContactOut you would be making newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It costs $468 a year.

- You could make: Web clipper: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: Newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Salesforce, HubSpot and Lever among them, and has an API.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
