The report card
Best for verified emails and mobiles for target lists
UpLead is a contact database where one credit unlocks a person's verified email and mobile number together. Essentials is $74 a month billed yearly for one user and 170 credits, which is dear for this category. Team seats need the custom Professional plan, so a team of five ends up talking to sales.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D | $74 a month billed yearly for one user and 170 credits, which is where this category's dearest tenth starts ($74). Team seats need the custom Professional plan, so there's no five-person figure on record. Extra credits are $0.60 each. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A 7-day free trial with 5 credits, and no free plan. Five contacts is enough to check the data looks right, not much else. |
| Features | B | Over 200 million contacts with filters, a verified email and mobile for one credit, a Chrome extension, technographics and enrichment from Plus, and intent data on Professional. It covers the whole job. |
| Ease of use | C | No App Store rating on record. The work is building target lists from filters such as industry, size and tech used, which takes a little learning. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web and a Chrome extension, with Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho CRM, Pipedrive, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Outreach, Salesloft and Zapier. Full API access only on Professional. |
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.

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.
Your call
You could make the core of UpLead for yourself: web clipper.
What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call. It costs $888 a year.
What you could make
- Web clipper: an app builder makes this well.
- It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.
What you could not
- It plugs into other products, Salesforce, HubSpot and Zoho CRM among them, and has an API.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. UpLead’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.
