Enterprise Data Quality at a One-Person Budget
You shouldn't need a $15K contract or a GTM engineer to get verified contact data. Upload a CSV or describe who you want, and Cleanlist AI runs the waterfall for you.
A demo of Clu. Asked: Find 25 bootstrapped software CEOs or founders, 5-10 years in the role, at 11-50 person companies with $2M-$10M revenue within 100 miles of Chicago. One per company, none already in my lists. Only the ones that fit. Clu searches, adds the top 25 people to This week's 25, asks for approval before spending credits, finds verified emails and phone numbers through the waterfall, scores every lead against the ICP and sends the 11 qualified leads to Series B outbound in Lemlist, which does the sending.

The short answer
Cleanlist AI does the enrichment work a solo founder has no time to build: upload a CSV or type who you're looking for, and each lookup runs through 25+ providers in sequence. The first 14 days are on Pro with 250 credits and no card. After that the Free plan gives you 50 credits a month, and Starter is $49 a seat a month when you need more.
Solopreneurs: what gets in the way.
Most data tools assume somebody has time to configure them. When you work alone, nobody does.
- 01
Team pricing for a team of one
A ZoomInfo contract starts at $15K a year. When you're the whole team, that money comes straight out of your own margin.
- 02
Workflow builders eat your selling time
Clay is flexible, and it takes hours to learn the builder, set up a waterfall and debug failed rows. A solo operator has no RevOps person to hand that to.
- 03
Every bounce costs more when you send less
When you send fewer emails, each one is a bigger share of your pipeline. A batch of bad addresses can do lasting damage to a domain that took months to warm up.
- 04
You prospect in bursts
Two weeks of heavy outbound, then a month heads-down on client work. Annual contracts and monthly minimums charge you for the quiet month too.
The Cleanlist AI waterfall looking for a work email. For Aviva Roth it tries providers in order and stops at attempt 4, the first deliverable result, which costs 1 credit. For Sofia Marchetti all 7 attempts miss, and the charge is 0 credits.

No builder to learn, and a Free plan for the quiet months between campaigns.
- 01
Two weeks on Pro
Sign up and your workspace runs on Pro for 14 days with 250 credits and 3 seats. Try it on your own prospects before you pay anything, with no sales call.
- 02
Upload a spreadsheet, download it enriched
Upload your prospects and download them with emails, phone numbers and company data added. There's no workflow builder and nothing to connect first.
- 03
The full waterfall on every plan
Every enrichment, Free plan included, goes through 25+ providers in sequence. That's the waterfall that found 98% verified work emails on our 500-lead benchmark.

Room for your first hire
When a VA or part-time SDR joins, add a Starter seat for $49 a month. It's billed pro rata that day, and its 750 credits go into the wallet you both spend from.

How the alternatives compare.
Apollo's free tier and Sales Navigator are where a solo founder usually starts.
| Option | Where it fits | Where it stops |
|---|---|---|
| Apollo Compare | A generous free tier (100 credits a month) with prospecting and basic sequences | Coverage stops at its own database, paid plans are per seat ($49 a month and up), and the UI is busy for a simple job |
| LinkedIn Sales Navigator | Prospecting inside LinkedIn, with InMail credits for outreach | $99 a month for Core, no contact export, no email or phone data, and InMail response rates that average 10-15% |
Is Cleanlist AI free for solopreneurs?
Yes. Your workspace runs on Pro free for 14 days with 250 credits, 3 seats and every Pro feature. After that the Free plan gives you 50 credits a month for as long as you want, and Starter is $49 a seat a month if you need more.
Do I need technical skills to use Cleanlist AI?
No. The usual workflow is uploading a CSV of prospects and downloading the enriched file. If you can use Google Sheets or Excel, you can use Cleanlist AI. CRM sync and the API are there if you want them later.
How does Cleanlist AI compare to Apollo's free tier?
Apollo's free tier is 100 credits a month. A new Cleanlist AI workspace gets 14 days on Pro with 250 credits and 3 seats, then 50 credits a month on the Free plan. Apollo looks contacts up in its own database; Cleanlist AI checks 25+ providers per lookup and found 98% verified work emails and 85% phone numbers on our 500-lead benchmark. At small volumes, the hit rate on your own list matters more than the size of the monthly grant.
Can I use Cleanlist AI for just one prospecting campaign?
Yes. Run one batch on the 14-day Pro trial, or take Starter at $49 a seat a month for a bigger campaign and cancel when it's done. There's no minimum commitment and no cancellation penalty.
What if I grow and need to add a team member?
Add a seat for them. On Starter it's $49 a month and brings 750 more credits into the wallet you both spend from. A seat added mid-month is billed pro rata, and removing one later credits your next invoice.
