Why people look past LeadSwift

Plans differ only by searches per day: Starter gets 1, Professional 5 and Agency 20. Current prices are early-adopter rates.

What we noted

  • Plans capped by searches per day
  • Focused on local businesses, not enterprises
  • Launch pricing may rise for new buyers

Not the right fit for

  • B2B teams targeting enterprise contacts
  • Recruiters sourcing individual candidates

Worth keeping in mind: Pulls fresh local business data from sources like Google Maps and Yelp at search time, then runs outreach from the same tool.

What each one does differently

Scrap.io

$49/mo MCP API

Why it comes up: Google Maps business scraper if you only need local lead lists.

Stands out: MCP and API access come on the entry Basic plan, not only on the top tiers.

Watch out: Export credits reset each month and do not roll over. Wider searches (county, state, country, radius) need higher tiers.

Best for

  • Agencies building local business prospect lists
  • Teams calling a maps data API from their own tools
  • People who want maps searches inside an AI assistant

Instantly

$47/mo Free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: Cold email at scale if you already have a lead file.

Stands out: Warmup, unibox, and volume send with hosted MCP and a public API, plus an AI Recruiting Agent that finds candidates from a job link and emails them.

Watch out: Deliverability still depends on your domains and inboxes, not the tool alone.

Best for

  • Outbound recruiting teams sending at volume
  • Agencies running many sending accounts
  • Desks that need warmup plus a unibox

Smartlead

$39/mo Free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: Inbox rotation and sequencing for agencies running outbound.

Stands out: Unlimited mailboxes plus separate client workspaces, with a hosted MCP.

Watch out: Email only: there is no LinkedIn channel and no finder in the same login.

Best for

  • Agencies sending for multiple clients
  • Teams that need many mailboxes
  • Desks that want MCP on campaign infrastructure

Apollo

$49/mo Free tier Free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: B2B contact database with sequencing for company targets.

Stands out: A large people database plus email sequences in one login, with MCP and a Chrome extension.

Watch out: Data quality varies by segment, and it does not match enterprise tools for intent data and org charts.

Best for

  • Outbound recruiting and sales on one database
  • Teams that want free-tier access to start
  • Desks that need sequences next to the data
