Keep it
Nothing Surfe does is plain enough to make in a weekend. The 4 things listed below take a company.
It costs $468 a year.
What you could not
- 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, Salesloft, Outreach and Lemlist among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Surfe’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.
