Best for prospecting from LinkedIn into your CRM
LeadIQ is a prospecting extension for contact data, job changes and CRM sync, with a free plan and 30-day trial of any plan. A mobile number costs 10 credits, so 200 credits on Pro don't go far.
Who LeadIQ is for
- Fits if you prospect on LinkedIn and push contacts into a CRM
- Works for one person who wants to try 30 days of any plan
Who LeadIQ is not for
- Tight if you need phones: a mobile number costs 10 credits each
- Skip it if you want much free, as the free plan is 50 credits
- Watch out: Pro covers up to 5 users; larger teams need Enterprise, which is annual only
- Watch out: the pricing page's static HTML shows $200 for Pro while its slider computes $20

Keep LeadIQ, or make your own?
You could make this
What LeadIQ does at its core is plain work, and that is the kind of thing an AI app builder makes well.
You would give up 2 things, listed below, and little else. It costs $180 a year. An AI app builder starts at about $20 a month on our listings, and you only need it while you build.
What you could make
- It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.
What you could not
- It plugs into other products, Salesforce among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. LeadIQ’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
