What each one does differently

ReachFast

$99.99/mo

Why it comes up: Waterfall with credit back if you prefer pay-for-success.

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

Best for

Agency desks enriching LinkedIn profiles
Recruiters who need mobiles as well as emails
Teams that want credit back on bad numbers

Teams connecting Bullhorn or Salesforce

Lead411

$49/mo 7 day free trial API

Why it comes up: Dials plus intent signals.

Stands out: Intent signals sitting alongside the dials, at a price that undercuts the enterprise data vendors.

Best for

Phone-first recruiting and sales desks
Teams that want intent alongside dials
Buyers who want a 7-day trial before paying

Kaspr

€49/mo Free tier API

Why it comes up: European browser enrichment with a free plan.

Stands out: A free plan plus a European data posture, which most US finders cannot offer.

Watch out: No MCP, and coverage is strongest in Europe rather than the US.

Best for

European recruiters working LinkedIn
Desks that want a free plan before committing
Teams on HubSpot or Salesforce
