Our verdict

Not the right fit
Teams needing a full prospecting database and sequencer.

Pricing summarised in October 2026 and not re-checked since. Vendors change plans often, so confirm current pricing with BetterContact before you budget.
Security and governance
Contact data is personal data. Ask how the vendor sources and refreshes records, its legal basis under GDPR and similar laws, how opt-outs flow back to you, and for a data processing agreement. Enrich only the fields you need and record where each value came from.
How we would roll it out
- Define the fields you needEmail, phone, title and firmographics only for your ICP.
- Test on a known sampleMeasure match and bounce rates on 500 records you already trust.
- Write back with source and dateStore where each value came from so you can refresh or delete it.
