UpLead vs ZoomInfo

Same facts, side by side: starting price, free tier, MCP, API and what each one is actually built for.

Starting price

UpLead

$99/mo Free tier 7 day free trial

B2B contact database with verified emails and mobile numbers. Essentials is $99/mo for 170 credits, or $74/mo billed annually.

Where UpLead fits

  • Solo SDRs and founders prospecting by email and phone
  • Users who export contacts to a CRM
  • People who prospect from a Chrome extension
  • Buyers who want to test with a free trial

ZoomInfo

Sales-quoted

Enterprise B2B contact graph with direct dials, org charts, technographics and intent. Quote-based, and overkill if you only need emails.

Where ZoomInfo fits

  • Talent teams where sales already pays for ZoomInfo
  • Desks that need reports-to lines and org charts
  • Account-based recruiting with intent data
  • Enterprise processes that already include the graph

Where they pull apart

UpLead

Stands out: A 7-day free trial with 5 credits, then published credit plans instead of an enterprise-only contract.

Watch out: Essentials and Plus are single-user. Team seats, buyer intent and full API access need Professional, which is annual and quote-based.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that need shared seats on a low plan
  • High-volume users who burn through 170 credits

ZoomInfo

Stands out: The buying-committee graph and intent data, not just email lookup.

Watch out: Recruiter-only desks should price Wiza, ContactOut or Tomba first. This is an enterprise contract.

Not the right fit for

  • Recruiter-only buyers signing a new enterprise contract
  • Teams that only need email and mobile lookup

Pros and cons

UpLead

  • 7-day trial with 5 credits
  • Published monthly and annual prices
  • Wide CRM and sales tool export
  • Single user on Essentials and Plus
  • Full API and intent need Professional
  • Extra credits cost $0.50 to $0.60

ZoomInfo

  • Org charts and intent, not only emails
  • MCP available
  • Strong value when sales already funds the seat
  • No public price
  • Enterprise contract and sales cycle
  • Overkill as a recruiter-only finder
