From public reviews

What RocketReach users complain about

Themes that come up again and again in reviews on G2, Trustpilot and Chrome Web Store. Each one links to the reviews, with their dates; the examples leave out reviews that quote prices or credits.

RocketReach users also praise its ease of use, a broad database with good filters and the Chrome extension.

How we compared

We make SalesQL, so read this as a vendor's comparison.

Price. Prices and credits come from each vendor's public pricing page in English, in US dollars before tax, on the date shown. Price per email = plan price ÷ credits in the plan × credits for one email, over each vendor's paid plans. Some plans are sold as “unlimited” under a fair-use policy the vendor sets; we don't count that as an allowance and divide by the exports the plan allows, unless the vendor's terms state a monthly credit limit, which we use instead. The multiplier compares the average of a vendor's plans with the average of ours, monthly with monthly and yearly with yearly, and shows the lower of the two, rounded down.

Email + phone per 1,000 contacts adds the credits for one phone number, on the plans that include phones.

Features. Features come from each vendor's public product pages and docs, on the date next to each source. Text in quotes is what each vendor says about itself; we didn't measure it.

Reviews. Complaints come from public reviews, linked with their dates. The examples leave out reviews that quote prices or credits.

What we didn't test. Data coverage and accuracy, for either tool. We compare published prices, features and public reviews.
