# SalesGear review (2026): is the free plan enough? > Prospect data and multichannel outreach, sold by credits Checked Nov 13, 2026 ยท graded Nov 13, 2026 by ToolGPA. SalesGear combines a B2B contact finder, AI prospect research and a sequencer that sends email, LinkedIn steps and calls. Accounts are either a Data plan, for finding emails, phone numbers and research only, or an Outreach plan that adds the sending tools. Both draw on a monthly pool of credits. - **Category:** Cold Outreach - **Made by:** Aptare Technologies Pte. Ltd. - **Website:** https://www.salesgear.io - **Runs on:** Web, Browser extension - **Who should skip it:** Tight if you stay free: 5 credits (or 50, the page says both) a month. - **Facts last checked:** Nov 13, 2026 ## Pricing As of Nov 13, 2026, SalesGear has a free plan, and paid plans start at $39 per seat / month, billed annually ($49 billed monthly). - **Pricing model:** Free plan - **Free plan:** Free plan with a small monthly credit allowance (5 on the plan card, 50 in the FAQ) for finding emails, phone numbers and research. - **Free trial:** None listed. | Plan | Price | What you get | | --- | --- | --- | | Free | $0 | A few monthly credits to try the finder and research. The plan card says 5 credits, the FAQ says 50. | | Basic (Outreach) | $39 per seat / month, billed annually ($49 billed monthly) | Outreach plan with 500 credits a month and the sending tools.

Prices change, so confirm with SalesGear before buying. ## Ways to pay less - **Save 20% with annual billing** (Annual discount): The pricing page's Annual toggle shows 20% off the monthly price on every paid plan. Source: https://www.salesgear.io/pricing - **Custom plans for startups** (Startups): The FAQ says startups can email the sales team to ask about customized plans. Source: https://www.salesgear.io/pricing ## Key features - **B2B contact finder:** Search for prospects with filters and pull emails and phone numbers, with an email finder and a Chrome extension that works from LinkedIn. - **Deep research per prospect:** A research step that gathers details about a prospect and company, used to write more specific messages. It costs 10 credits each. - **Multichannel sequences:** Sequences combine email, LinkedIn actions and calls, with a dialer, a meeting scheduler and A/B testing on Outreach plans. - **Deliverability tools:** Email warming and a domain health center, plus Gmail, Google Workspace and Office 365 sending, or any other mailbox through SMTP and IMAP. - **CRM sync and automation:** Connects to Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive and Zoho, and to other tools through Zapier. A copilot with MCP access for Claude and ChatGPT is listed. ## Good for - Small outbound teams that want data and sending in one tool - Founders who want to try contact finding on a free plan - Teams paying per seat instead of per mailbox ## Worth knowing - Data and Outreach are separate plan families, and an account can be on only one of them. - Credits do not roll over: 1 email costs 1 credit, 1 phone number costs 10 and one deep research costs 10. - The Free plan's credit allowance is shown as 5 on the plan card and as 50 in the FAQ. - The pricing page opens on monthly billing; the annual figures come from the Annual toggle. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 2.2 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. SalesGear finds B2B contacts, researches prospects and sends email, LinkedIn and call sequences, all paid for from a monthly pool of credits. The free plan is a handful of credits, an email costs 1, a phone number 10 and a deep research 10, and unused credits vanish each month. Data and Outreach are separate plan families, so you cannot be on both. - **Value for money: C.** $39 a seat on yearly billing ($49 monthly) for 500 credits and the sending tools. That is the middle of the cold-outreach category, though 500 credits is only 50 phone numbers. - **Free plan and trial: C.** A free forever plan, but the card says 5 credits and the FAQ says 50. Either way you run out in a day. - **Features: C.** Contact finder, research, sequences and CRM sync. The listing shows a split: Data plans cannot send and Outreach plans have fewer credits, because an account is on one family only. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. You connect mailboxes, LinkedIn and a CRM before sending. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web and a browser extension, with Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Zoho, Zapier, Gmail and Slack.

That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It costs $468 a year. - You could not: Newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox. - You could not: Email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox. - You could not: A network of real inboxes that open and answer your emails. - You could not: Checking that an address exists without writing to it. - You could not: It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Salesforce, HubSpot and Pipedrive among them. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
