Pricing notes

Seat-based recruiting search, not per verified work email.

Figures read from ContactOut’s pricing page on 2 September 2026. Checked-on date for our comparison table: 2 September 2026.

Different buyers, overlapping feature

ContactOut sells people search with seat-based plans. Its strengths are personal emails and phone numbers, which are what recruiters want. Cold outbound needs the opposite: a work address at the prospect's current company, confirmed to exist, so the domain you send from does not collect bounces.

What you get here

Work emails only, found from a name and company domain.
A mailbox check against the receiving server on every result.
Catch-alls labelled and free; misses free.
Bulk CSV, an API, and exports to Instantly, Smartlead, lemlist and HubSpot.

What you give up

Phone numbers, personal emails, and the LinkedIn overlay. If you need those, ContactOut or a sales database is the better tool.

Why work emails need a live check

A people-search database tells you an address was associated with someone at some point. Outbound cares whether the mailbox accepts mail today. People change jobs, companies rename domains, and IT teams switch catch-all on and off. Sending to stale addresses raises your bounce rate, and a high bounce rate damages the sending domain, not just the campaign. See what a high bounce rate costs for the numbers.

Pricing shape

ContactOut sells seats with search allowances, which suits a recruiter running searches all day. Outbound volume is lumpier: a few thousand contacts for a new segment, then nothing for a week. Credits here are pay-per-verified-hit and never expire, so a quiet month costs nothing.
