Where they pull apart

ReachFast

Stands out: Waterfall across seven or more sources, with credit back when a mobile is wrong.

Watch out: Not a sequencer, and the five free contacts are an allowance rather than a trial.

Not the right fit for

  • Desks that only want a cheap browser finder
  • Teams that need sequences in the same login

Swordfish

Stands out: Flat-fee contact data for desks that are tired of counting credits.

Watch out: Unlimited is fair-use, and ATS integrations sit on the higher tiers.

Not the right fit for

  • Buyers who need ATS integration on the cheapest plan
  • Desks that only want a cheap browser finder
