Argorant
Cold email platform with 626.5M B2B contacts, work emails checked live at export and campaigns sent from your own mailboxes. 14-day free trial, then $49/mo.
From $49/mo 14-day free trial MCP server API
Bottom line
Cold email platform that pairs a 626.5M-contact B2B database with sending from your own Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 mailboxes. Every work email is checked live against the mail server at export, and only deliverable contacts use a credit. Plans start at $49/mo after a 14-day free trial; for recruiters it fits winning employer clients, not finding candidates.
Stands out for: Verification happens at the moment of export rather than when the record was added, and the bill follows it: invalid or unverifiable addresses are filtered out at zero credits, re-checking a recent contact is free, and searches, counts and previews never cost anything. Data, mailboxes, warm-up, a shared reply inbox and a full MCP server all come in the $49/mo Starter plan.
Watch out for: There is no permanent free plan: the 14-day trial gives 100 credits and 300 campaign emails, then campaigns pause until you pay. Mobile and direct dial numbers start on the $249/mo Pro plan at 10 credits each, so on Starter you get work emails and company switchboard numbers only. The vendor says plainly it covers employers and decision makers, not candidates, and its filters are firmographic with no live vacancy feed, so you bring your own hiring signal.
Overview
Argorant is a B2B prospecting platform built around a database of 626.5M contacts across 202 countries. You describe a market in plain English or with filters for industry, country, company size and role, and the matching count updates live; counting, searching and masked previews cost no credits.
When you reveal or export contacts, each work email is checked against the recipient's mail server with an SMTP probe that asks whether the mailbox exists without sending anything. Valid addresses cost one credit, catch-all domains are flagged as an opt-in, and invalid or unverifiable rows are dropped at no cost. You can also upload your own list and check it at half a credit per address.
Campaigns run inside the same account. Sequences send from your own Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 mailboxes, with unlimited mailboxes and warm-up on every plan, pacing handled for you, and replies collected in one inbox. Lists can instead be pushed to HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Smartlead, Instantly, lemlist, Clay or Google Sheets.
The vendor has a recruiting and staffing page that pitches it for the client side of agency work: reaching owners, HR directors and hiring managers at employers by sector and region. It says outright that it does not source candidates and has no live job posting feed.
A hosted MCP server, REST API and CLI expose the same search, export and campaign actions, so an AI assistant can go from a one-line brief to a launched campaign under your account and credit limits. MCP and API access are included on every paid plan.
Starter is $49/mo, Pro $249/mo, Scale $449/mo and Hyperscale $649/mo, with 20% off annually. Pay-as-you-go credits start at $17.50 for 500 without a subscription, though campaigns need a plan. A 14-day trial with 100 credits and 300 campaign emails needs no card.

Key features
Export-time email verification. Every work email is probed against the receiving mail server when you reveal or export it. Invalid and unverifiable addresses are filtered out and not charged, and catch-all domains are flagged so you choose whether to include them.
Campaigns from your own mailboxes. Sequences send from your connected Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 accounts, with unlimited mailboxes and warm-up on every plan, and replies land in one shared inbox.
MCP, API and CLI. A hosted MCP server, REST API and command line tool share one credit balance, so Claude, ChatGPT or Codex can count a market, save a list, export verified contacts and set up the campaign.
