B2B Sales Tool Pricing Guides

Stop guessing what sales intelligence tools actually cost. These guides break down real pricing, hidden fees, credit systems, and contract terms so you can budget accurately and negotiate better deals.

Start with the index below, then open any guide for the full breakdown: per-contact economics, what the entry plan leaves out, and how the number moves with team size.

2026 pricing at a glance.

Entry price is the cheapest paid plan each vendor publishes. Read the included column beside it: a per-seat tool multiplies that price by every rep, while a flat-rate pool covers the whole team.

Every competitor figure is that vendor’s own published list price, checked July 2026, and the source column links to the guide it was read from. The Cleanlist row is our own published pricing. Nothing in this table is a quoted or negotiated rate.
How we calculate cost per verified contactSame method on every guide

Cost per contact=plan price÷credits or lookups the plan includes

We take each plan’s monthly price and divide it by the volume it actually includes, which gives a like-for-like rate across tools that count in credits, lookups and exports. Then we flag the two multipliers the sticker price hides.

  • OverageWhat you pay once the pool runs out: a top-up rate, or a forced upgrade to the next tier.
  • Seat minimumsA per-user tool multiplies the entry price by headcount, so a $49/user plan is $245 a month across five reps.
  • AccuracyA cheap credit that returns a bouncing address costs more than a dearer one that lands, so we weight for verified deliverability wherever a guide reports it.
No figure here is estimated. Each one traces to the vendor’s published pricing page or to the linked guide.

A search costs nothing.

Cleanlist bills for results, not for seats and not for looking. One shared team wallet, one rate card, and a lookup that comes back empty is never charged.
