Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.2
GPA, above 40 of the 81 other cold outreach tools we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about SalesGear, taken from its own pages and our grades.
You connect mailboxes, LinkedIn and a CRM before sending.
- 1
Best for finding prospect contacts and sending outreach from one tool
Data and Outreach are separate plan families, so you cannot be on both.
- 2
Paid plans start at $39 a month for each person
As its pricing page puts it: $39 per seat / month, billed annually ($49 billed monthly).
- 3
There is a 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.
- 4
It runs on Web
Web, with a browser extension too.
- 5
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.
- 6
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.
- 7
Multichannel sequences
Sequences combine email, LinkedIn actions and calls, with a dialer, a meeting scheduler and A/B testing on Outreach plans.
- 8
A 2.2 GPA, above 40 of 81
That is against the other cold outreach tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
Keep it
To replace SalesGear 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.

The report card
Best for finding prospect contacts and sending outreach from one tool
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who SalesGear is for
- Fits if you want contact data and a sender in one account
- Works for a solo seller who only sends a few hundred emails a month
Who it is not for
- Tight if you stay free: 5 credits (or 50, the page says both) a month
- Skip it if you want one plan with both the big data pool and sending, since Data and Outreach are separate
- Watch out: credits do not roll over, and a phone number costs 10
- Pricey if you need more than 500 credits: Pro is $79 a seat
- Watch out: the pricing page opens on monthly figures; the annual price sits behind a toggle
Good to know
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.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace SalesGear 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.
What you could not
- Newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox.
- Email sent in volume that still reaches the inbox.
- A network of real inboxes that open and answer your emails.
- Checking that an address exists without writing to it.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- It plugs into other products, Salesforce, HubSpot and Pipedrive among them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. SalesGear’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.
