## Key features

- **Credit-based contact lookups:** An email costs 1 credit, a phone number 10, email plus phone 11, and an account enrichment 3.
- **Chrome extension:** Capture prospects while browsing LinkedIn or other sites and send them to a CRM or sales engagement tool.
- **Job-change tracking:** Tracks champions who move to new companies so reps can reach out again.
- **AI message writer:** Drafts outbound messages; the page also lists sales signals such as 10-K filings and hiring.

## Good for

- SDR teams prospecting from LinkedIn into a CRM
- Small teams that want to start on a free credit allowance
- Reps who track job changes at past customers

## Worth knowing

- Mobile numbers cost 10 credits each, so phone-heavy work uses credits fast.
- Pro covers up to 5 users; larger teams need Enterprise, which is annual only.
- The pricing page's static HTML shows $200 for Pro; the slider script computes $20 at 200 credits.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.4 out of 4**, graded Nov 12, 2026. 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.

- **Value for money: B.** $15 a month billed annually for 200 credits, $20 monthly. That's inside the cheapest quarter on price, but 200 credits is small.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** A free plan with 1 user and 50 credits, and a 30-day trial of any plan.
- **Features: C.** Credit-based lookups, job-change tracking, an AI message writer, CRM enrichment and an API. Phones eat credits.
- **Ease of use: B.** A Chrome extension you install and use while browsing. No store rating on record.
- **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web and a Chrome extension, with one integration listed plus API and MCP.

## Keep it, 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.

- You could make: It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Salesforce among them, and has an API.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
