Who is it for

Who should use ContactOut vs SalesQL

A fit for solo recruiters or small users who want quick access to emails and occasionally phones. If email campaigns inside the tool are more important than scaling large volumes of data, ContactOut can cover the basics.

Designed for sales, recruiting, and marketing teams that need thousands of verified contacts every month, phones included from the start, flexible seats, and API access without enterprise pricing. Perfect for teams that want to grow prospecting with a transparent and predictable tool.

Why teams switch

Why teams choose SalesQL over ContactOut

Transparent credits: SalesQL gives you clear monthly credits you can use for emails, phones, and enrichment. ContactOut markets “unlimited emails” but restricts exports.

Team-ready plans: Every SalesQL plan includes multiple seats, plus $10 for extra users. ContactOut keeps one user per plan, forcing additional licenses.

Phones and API from the start: With SalesQL, phones are included in all plans and API access is available from Professional. ContactOut reserves both for enterprise tiers.

Global coverage and simple pricing: SalesQL offers one global pricing model, with no separate rules for US/UK data.
