Where they pull apart

BetterContact

Stands out: A $15 waterfall across 10-plus sources: the anti-ZoomInfo for operators who care about hit-rate, not a branded graph.

Watch out: Starter is a toe-dip. Real volume is Pro $49 or Enterprise from $799. Free 50 credits are not a timed trial.

Not the right fit for

People who want a single branded graph
Sequencer buyers
Desks that will not wire an API

CUFinder

Stands out: Start-free credits plus a $49 Lite API (HubSpot, Salesforce, Clay, Apollo named): pay for matches, not scrapes.

Watch out: 1,000 credits at $49 is a trial-sized pack for a real desk. Pro is $299. The 15-credit free grant is not a 14-day trial.

Not the right fit for

People who need unlimited reveals
Sequencer buyers
Desks that will not use an API
