Why people look past SignalHire

It runs on credits, so budget for list volume. Sequences send from your own connected mailbox, so deliverability rests on that account, not on SignalHire.

What we noted

Single-source database, so hit rates trail waterfall tools
Credit model means budgeting for list volume

Not the right fit for

Teams that need an ATS or CRM in the same product
Buyers who want a flat fee instead of credits

Worth keeping in mind: Chrome extension, bulk export and built-in email sequences, with both an MCP server and a REST API.
