Cleanlist vs Prospeo
Prospeo finds emails fast but stops at email. Cleanlist queries 15+ providers including Prospeo, adds phone, verification, and ICP scoring → see the gap.
Head-to-head, feature by feature
One verified, deliverable list. Reconciled from 15+ raw sources, every run.
Pick Prospeo if your job is turning LinkedIn Sales Navigator searches into verified emails, because its Chrome extension and pay-on-success credits do that cleanly and cheaply. Pick Cleanlist when finding the email is just step one. We run each contact through 15+ providers, then add catch-all detection, list-wide phone enrichment, and ICP scoring, so finding, cleaning, scoring, and the CRM handoff happen in one pass instead of four tools.
Prospeo is a fast bulk email finder that's actually one of the 15+ providers inside Cleanlist's waterfall. Cleanlist queries Prospeo + 14 other sources per lookup, then layers triple email verification, phone enrichment, and ICP scoring on top, all on a transparent self-serve plan starting free.
Decision Matrix: Which One to Pick
Honest, side-by-side guidance — no “always pick us” spin.
Choose Cleanlist if
- You keep bolting on a separate ICP-scoring or segmentation step, because Prospeo returns verified contacts but does not score or prioritize them
- Your outbound still bounces on catch-all (accept-all) domains, and you want explicit catch-all flagging plus a multi-provider verification pass before send
- You want phone numbers enriched across an entire list inside one workflow, not paid 10 credits at a time through the extension
- You want each contact run through 15+ providers so the hard-to-find people resolve, not just the easy LinkedIn matches
- You want AI columns, smart agents, and playbooks that turn a raw list into a scored, CRM-ready pipeline, not just an exported CSV of emails
Choose Prospeo if
- Your main job is turning a LinkedIn Sales Navigator search into verified emails, which is exactly what Prospeo is built for
- You want the cheapest serious entry point: $39/mo for 1,000 credits, plus a free tier that refills 75 email credits and 100 Chrome extension credits every month
- You live in the Chrome extension, enriching contacts while browsing LinkedIn and company sites, and you value credits-only-on-success billing
- You want a single-purpose finder with almost no learning curve and no workflow features to ignore
- You need occasional mobile numbers on specific LinkedIn profiles and are fine paying per lookup rather than enriching phones across a whole list

See how Cleanlist compares to Prospeo
Try Free“Prospeo is one of the cleanest single-purpose finders out there: the Chrome extension is genuinely fast, credits-only-on-success billing is fair, and the free tier refills every month, which beats most rivals. Where it stops is the workflow, because Prospeo hands you verified emails but not catch-all detection, ICP scoring, phone across a full list, or a direct CRM push. Cleanlist runs all of that as one 15-provider waterfall, so the list comes out scored and ready to load into your CRM.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Prospeo export LinkedIn Sales Navigator searches into emails?
+
Yes, that is Prospeo's core feature. It bulk-exports a Sales Navigator search into verified emails through its Chrome extension and API, and it does it cleanly. Cleanlist also ingests Sales Navigator exports, but then runs each contact through 15+ providers, triple verification, and optional phone enrichment, so you get a scored, CRM-ready list rather than just an email column.
Is Prospeo cheaper than Cleanlist?
+
For pure email finding, yes. Prospeo starts at $39/mo for 1,000 credits, refills 75 email credits and 100 Chrome extension credits every month for free, and only charges a credit when it finds a valid contact. Cleanlist starts at $79/mo for 1,500 credits but bundles multi-provider enrichment, catch-all detection, phone, ICP scoring, and CRM sync, so it is a finder versus a full enrichment workflow, not a straight price-for-price match.
Does Prospeo find phone numbers too?
+
Yes. Prospeo has a mobile number finder, though each mobile costs 10 credits and is typically pulled one profile at a time through the Chrome extension. Cleanlist enriches phone numbers across an entire uploaded list in the same run as email, so you are not paying per lookup or working profile by profile when you need phones at volume.
How does Prospeo get data into my CRM?
+
Prospeo connects to CRMs and outreach tools mainly through its API, Chrome extension, and automation platforms like Zapier, so you often route contacts through a middle layer or a CSV. Cleanlist is built around the handoff: any input becomes an enriched, verified list that pushes into your CRM, so the enrichment and the sync are one workflow instead of two.
Is Cleanlist better than Prospeo for finding emails?
+
Cleanlist actually includes Prospeo as one of 15+ providers in its waterfall, plus adds Findymail, Wiza, Lusha, and 11 others. So Cleanlist's email match rate matches or exceeds Prospeo on every lookup, and adds phone numbers, ICP scoring, and triple verification that Prospeo doesn't offer.
Does Prospeo include phone numbers?
+
No. Prospeo is an email-only finder. If you need direct dials, Cleanlist's waterfall queries multiple phone providers (Lusha, Findymail, etc.) for an 85% phone match rate on B2B contacts. For email-only use cases at low volume, Prospeo works fine, but most outbound teams need both.
Is Prospeo cheaper than Cleanlist?
+
At entry tier, Prospeo's $39/mo Starter (1,000 emails) is cheaper than Cleanlist's $79/mo Starter (1,500 emails). But Cleanlist's $79 plan includes phone enrichment, ICP scoring, and Smart Agents, features Prospeo doesn't offer at any price. Most teams replace Prospeo + a phone tool + a verifier with Cleanlist alone.
Can I use Prospeo and Cleanlist together?
+
You can, but you don't need to. Cleanlist already queries Prospeo as one of its 15+ waterfall providers, so the data Prospeo would return is already part of Cleanlist's results. Layering them adds cost without lift.
Does Prospeo have catch-all detection?
+
No. Prospeo uses single-pass email verification, which doesn't reliably detect catch-all domains (which validate but bounce 20-40% of the time). Cleanlist's triple verification specifically flags catch-all domains so you can decide whether to send.
Key Terms
Understanding these concepts will help you evaluate Prospeo and alternatives more effectively.
Prospeo verifies emails in a single pass; Cleanlist runs a triple-verification pipeline including catch-all detection that single-pass tools miss.
Waterfall EnrichmentCleanlist's waterfall includes Prospeo plus 14 other email providers, so any email Prospeo finds is already part of Cleanlist's coverage.
Catch-All DomainProspeo cannot reliably distinguish catch-all domains, where 20-40% of emails bounce despite passing basic verification.
Multi-Provider EnrichmentProspeo is a single-source email finder; Cleanlist orchestrates 15+ providers into one lookup to maximize match rate.
