Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.6
GPA, above 55 of the 72 other lead and email finders we grade
SalesQL reveals work and direct emails and phone numbers for people you find on LinkedIn, through a Chrome extension, a searchable contact database, CSV enrichment or an API. Each successful reveal costs one credit. Paid plans add email campaigns, and an MCP connection lets AI assistants search from a chat.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about SalesQL, taken from its own pages and our grades.

The report card
Best for a LinkedIn email finder on a budget
SalesQL is a LinkedIn email finder with a contact database and campaigns, with a free plan and paid from $29.25 a month. The free plan has 50 credits and no phones, and the API starts on Professional.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | $29.25 a month billed annually for 2,000 credits, $39 monthly. That's inside the cheapest quarter, which tops out at $33.25. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A free plan with 50 credits a month for 1 seat and no phone numbers. |
| Features | C | LinkedIn extension, contact database, CSV enrichment, campaigns, API and MCP. Basic has no API, and phones are paid only. |
| Ease of use | B | A Chrome extension you install and use. No store rating on record. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web and a Chrome extension, with four integrations, an API from Professional and MCP. |

Part 04 · Standing
Where it stands
Its grades against its category, and whether to keep it or make your own
55/72
Other lead and email finders it is graded above
SalesQL's GPA of 2.6 is higher than 55 of the 72 other lead and email finders we grade, and level with 9.
It stands best on ease of use (B, above 56 of 72) and worst on features (C, above 2).
Its paid plans start at $29.25 a month, against a middle price of $49 for the category: 12 of the 54 others that charge start lower.
On features, ease of use and platforms it scores 2.7 out of 4. Nothing scores higher for less, though at least one tool matches that score at a lower price.
Each grade against the category
Every bar is all 73 lead and email finders we grade, cut by the letter each got. SalesQL’s own letter is outlined.

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 SalesQL 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 is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 55 of the 72 other lead and email finders we grade. It costs $351 a year.
What you could make
- Web clipper: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox.
- It plugs into other products, HubSpot, Zoho and Mailchimp among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. SalesQL’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.
