WizLeads
Seamless.AI sells three things in one subscription: a searchable contact database, a credit meter that runs while it researches, and an annual agreement. Most teams want out over one of those, not all three.
So the right Seamless AI alternative depends on which part you were using. If it was the search box, you need another database. If it was the extension sitting on a profile, you need a reveal tool. If it was search, export, send, a list source plus an email finder covers the job for less.
We priced every tool below from the vendor's own page in September 2026 (Seamless.AI in October 2026). Where a figure is older and carried from our price file, we say so. Where a vendor shows a sales button in the place a price belongs, that is what we write. We have not send-tested Seamless.AI's data, so nothing here grades it on accuracy.
What Seamless.AI shows instead of a price
Seamless.AI's price is the part no one can read off its own pages, because Seamless.AI does not publish one on its public website. Its pricing page now lands on a page titled "Pricing Inquiry", whose hero text reads "Get special pricing for unlimited users, bulk credits, prospector, job changes, buyer intent, and enrichment", with a "Get a demo" form and no plan cards, FAQ or currency figure. Before that, it rendered three cards: Free, Pro as "Per User" with "Annual Credit Packages", Enterprise as "Unlimited Users" and "Custom Packages". Both paid cards carried a "Contact sales" button where a price would sit.
The old page's FAQ also referred to prices it never showed: "The prices shown on this page reflect this annual discount", and another answer told you to "Simply check out above". There was no checkout, and nothing to discount.
What Seamless.AI still publishes is its credit rules, in its help centre. The credit and license types article says: "Researching a contact uses 1 credit per contact. Clicking the 'Find' button uses 1 credit per contact to generate all information in the contact profile, including title(s),email(s), phone number(s), etc." The charge lands on the research rather than the result, and the article does not say whether a credit comes back when the research finds nothing. Its current allowances read: "Users receive 50 Universal Credits. On a Free License, credits do not replenish."; "Users receive 250 Universal Credits per month" on Basic; and "Users receive 10,000 Universal Credits per month. These credits refresh monthly on the contract date." on Pro. If you used every one, that is 120,000 credits a year on Pro and 3,000 on Basic. The article also lists a Legacy Standard Credit Pro License at 1,000 Universal Credits a day, only for "legacy accounts created before April 1, 2026" and "no longer available for new purchase", and we leave it out of the arithmetic because it is a different meter. Both count researches, not emails found, and other features draw on the same pool, for example "Enriching a contact uses 1 credit per contact or row".
Seamless.AI has contradicted itself on the Pro figure. On the earlier pricing page, the FAQ said "Pro plans start off at 10,000 annual credits", and the help centre now says 10,000 a month, twelve times as many. We use the help centre because the pricing page is gone, and we cannot tell you which wording your contract follows, so read the order form.
The earlier pricing page labelled AI Assistant, Data Enrichment, Autopilot and Buyer Intent Data as "Add-on" rows with no published price. The help centre now describes the first three as spending Universal Credits, 0.2 credit per AI Assistant interaction and 1 credit per contact on Autopilot, and describes Buyer Intent as running on Intent Topics rather than credits, with no price for any of them. That pricing page also advertised a switching discount, "up to 50% off what you're paying your current provider", which is half off a number Seamless.AI does not publish, and we cannot confirm it still runs.
On the free side, there is a free plan rather than a Seamless AI free trial of a paid tier, though the old pricing page called it one: "Start off with our free trial". The help centre says the 50 Free License credits "do not replenish", so treat it as a one-time allowance. It does not say whether they also expire, and the old card's "1 User" cannot be re-confirmed, so we leave it out.
The contract behind a Seamless.AI subscription
The Terms of Use decide what leaving costs, and they are public. From Seamless.AI's terms, last updated October 2026:
All subscriptions for the Services are annual with monthly or annual billing cycles. Payment is due in advance at the start of each billing cycle. Except as expressly provided in these Terms, all sales are final once you elect to purchase a subscription to the Services.
A monthly invoice is a payment schedule, then, not a monthly commitment, so setting it against a self-serve tool you can stop in 30 days is not comparing like terms. The cancellation clause is the one to diarise:
If you wish to cancel your subscription, you must complete the applicable subscription modification in the [Seamless.AI] platform no later than 60 days prior to the next annual contract renewal date. If the subscription is not modified or cancelled under these Terms more than 60 days before the renewal, the annual contract will automatically renew for an additional 12 months.
Two details get misreported. Some guides say you must email account management in writing; the clause says you complete the modification in the platform. And the deadline is 60 days before the renewal date, not the renewal date.
Seamless.AI does return credits in narrow cases that no page ranking for this term mentions. Its Credit Back Protection Program, last updated October 2026, says that where its own verification marks an address invalid it "may, in its discretion" flag it or "Return the credits associated with that email to your account balance". The same page sets the limit: the program "does not create any guarantee, warranty, or entitlement to refunds or credits beyond those expressly provided therein". So it is discretionary and covers only addresses its own check marks invalid. A separate help article refunds credits when an email sent through Connect bounces, but only "credits your organization or user account has purchased", and it says "Plan credits and complimentary credits are typically used before purchased credits".
If you are mid-term: find the renewal date on your order form, count back 60 days, run a replacement on the same ICP segment inside that window, and cancel in the platform before the earlier date.
The 10 Seamless AI competitors at a glance
Every price below was read from the vendor's own page (Seamless.AI's row: its pricing page and help centre).
| # | Tool | Replaces | Entry price | What one unit buys | Does a miss cost you |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Seamless.AI | database, reveals, engagement | no price; pricing page is a demo form | one contact researched | not stated; credits for invalid emails may be returned at its discretion | |
| 1 | Lead411 | database | $490/yr, or $49/mo | one export, undefined | not published |
| 2 | Apollo | database plus sequencer | $49/seat/mo billed annually | email 1 credit, phone 8 | no, per its docs |
| 3 | UpLead | database | $74/mo billed annually, or $99 monthly | one contact, email and mobile | not stated |
| 4 | Cognism | database, EMEA and phones | not published, "Talk to sales" | one contact record revealed | not stated |
| 5 | RocketReach | people search | $33/mo billed annually | one lookup | no, refunded |
| 6 | Lusha | per-reveal email and phone | $37.45/mo billed yearly | email 1 credit, phone 5 | not stated |

| 8 | Hunter | email finding, verification, Discover | $34/mo billed yearly, or $49 monthly | one email found | no, on both meters |
| 9 | Wiza | email and phone data on a list you supply | $49/mo per user | one valid email | no, billed on valid results |
| 10 | Findymail | email finding for cold email | $99/mo for 5,000 | 1 email, or 10 per phone | no |
The 10 Seamless AI alternatives, grouped by the job
Inside each group the order is the lowest published price one person can pay at the entry tier, cheapest first, on whichever billing term the vendor prices lowest, with quote-only tools last. That criterion puts WizLeads first in its group, which is the criterion's doing rather than a recommendation.
Every entry gets the same five slots in the same order, and three of them are about the meter, because a credit carrying an email is not a credit carrying an email and a mobile, and neither is an export.
If you need the database back
These four start from a filter instead of a list, where most alternatives to Seamless AI sit.
1. Lead411
What it replaces. The contact database, metered in exports rather than credits.
Price. From the Lead411 pricing page: Spark is $49 a month for 1,000 exports, or $490 a year for 12,000. Ignite is "Hot Leads Starting At" $150 a month or $1,500 a year, and Pilot Light is a 7-day trial with 50 free exports.
What one unit buys. The page never says. Cards list "Verified Email Addresses" and "Direct Phone Numbers Included" without saying whether an export spends a unit on the record or on each data point.
Does a miss cost you? Not published, for the same reason.
Where it falls short. Until an export is defined you cannot compare its volume to anyone else's credit, which keeps it off the unit-cost table below. The page also says "there are no data caps or daily limits" while capping Spark at 1,000.
2. Apollo
What it replaces. The database and the engagement layer together, the closest single-product swap here. A Seamless AI vs Apollo decision turns on whether you want the sequencer.
Price. From Apollo's pricing page on its default annual toggle: Basic $49 per seat per month billed annually with 30,000 credits per seat per year upfront, Professional $79 with 48,000, Organization $119 with 72,000 and a three-seat minimum. Free gives 900 credits a year. Monthly billing is higher, $65 for Basic.
What one unit buys. "Access verified emails" costs 1 credit and "Access verified phone numbers" 8, from one shared pool.
Does a miss cost you? No. Apollo's email status documentation says it does not charge a credit when it cannot find or verify a valid email, a rule that lives in the docs rather than on the pricing page.
Where it falls short. Phones at 8 credits each drain Apollo's shared credit pool fast, and the three-seat minimum makes Organization a $4,284 annual decision, not a $119 one.
3. UpLead
What it replaces. The database, with email and mobile in one unit.
Price. From the UpLead pricing page: Essentials $99 a month for 170 credits, Plus $199 for 400, or billed annually $74 a month for 2,040 credits a year and $149 for 4,800. Those annual figures are per year against a monthly price. Extra credits cost $0.60 on Essentials and $0.50 on Plus.
What one unit buys. A credit "gives you access to their email and mobile direct dial. One credit = one contact."
Does a miss cost you? Not stated on the page, so we are not guessing.
Where it falls short. 2,040 contacts a year is small for an outbound team, and overage at $0.50 to $0.60 is the most expensive top-up here. Its 95% accuracy line is a vendor claim.
4. Cognism
What it replaces. The database, strongest here for teams selling into EMEA.
Price. Not published. The Cognism pricing page renders two packages, Standard with "Talk to sales" and Pro with "Talk to an expert", both marked "5 seats included", and carries no currency figure. As a buyer-reported reference only, SpendHound puts average spend at $20,536 a year for SMB and $125,160 for enterprise, in its October 2026 update.
What one unit buys. "Cognism uses a credits model where one credit is used each time a contact record is revealed."
Does a miss cost you? Not stated on the page.
Where it falls short. You would swap one quote-only annual contract for another, so it does not solve the problem that sent you here, and the five-seat floor rules it out for a solo operator.
If you need reveals rather than a whole database
Both suit a rep already on a profile who wants contact details, not a filter and an export.
5. RocketReach
What it replaces. People search across email and phone.
Price. From RocketReach's pricing page on its annual toggle: Essentials $33 a month, $399 billed annually, email only, with 1,200 exports a year; Pro $75 a month, $899 a year; Ultimate $142, $1,699. A free account gets "5 free lookups with no credit card required", custom plans "start at $6K annually", and prices vary by visitor country.
What one unit buys. A lookup, against an email or a phone number. Annual plans call lookups unlimited; the monthly columns read 100, 250 and 1,000.
Does a miss cost you? No. "A lookup is used if we find and verify email or phone, otherwise it is refunded."
Where it falls short. The unlimited annual plan is not unlimited: its own FAQ sets a ceiling of 10,000 lookups a month, and exports are a second allowance that CSV, API and CRM sync draw on.
6. Lusha
What it replaces. Per-reveal email and phone lookups from the browser extension. The plans also carry automated email sequences and call recording.
Price. From Lusha's pricing page, which lands on the yearly toggle: Starter $37.45 a month for 4,800 credits a year, Pro $52.45 for 7,200, Premium $299.95 for 40,800. Free is 40 credits a month. Billed monthly the tiers run higher, $49.90 for 400 and $69.90 for 600 on our earlier reading.
What one unit buys. "Reveal verified email address" costs 1 credit and "Reveal a phone number" 5. Monthly plans roll credits over "up to twice the credit limit according to your plan".
Does a miss cost you? Not stated on the page.
Where it falls short. Phones at 5 credits each make the entry allowances small. At $87.42 per 1,000 email reveals on Pro billed yearly it is an expensive way to buy addresses in bulk, though at roughly $0.44 a number a cheap way to buy phones.
If you bring the list and need the emails
You arrive with a Sales Navigator search, a CSV of names and domains, or a CRM list, and these four attach the addresses.
7. WizLeads
What it replaces. The list-building half, when the search already runs in Sales Navigator. It scrapes that search in the cloud and returns the rows with work emails attached. It is not a contact database: there is nothing to query without a Sales Navigator search URL, so if the Seamless.AI search box is what you are losing, go back to the first group.
Price. From the WizLeads plans, billed monthly: Freelancer $39 for 10,000 credits, Agency $99 for 40,000, Cartel $199 for 100,000, Kingpin $499 for 300,000. Billed quarterly, Freelancer is $89 for 30,000, the cheapest term WizLeads publishes and the one this ranking uses. A Sales Navigator Core seat is US$119.99 a month or US$1,079.88 a year on top; account-less mode needs no seat at all. The free tier is 500 credits, one time.
What one unit buys. Scraping costs 1 credit per result with a LinkedIn account connected, 2 account-less. A work email costs 3 credits per email found, from a name and the company website. The WizLeads homepage FAQ puts verification at "0.5 credits".
Does a miss cost you? Two meters, two rules, both quoted from the WizLeads API reference: "Credits are only charged when an email is found" for work email, and "Credits are charged for every email processed, regardless of the result" for verification. Hunter charges nothing for an address it cannot resolve on either meter; on verification, WizLeads does, and on a list of unresolvable addresses that is real money.
Where it falls short. No database, no intent data, no org charts. The work-email endpoint takes a name and a company website, so there is no LinkedIn URL input, and phone numbers cost 100 credits each. Automatic splitting past the 2,500-result people search cap starts on Agency. A 5,000-lead task takes 15 to 20 minutes, so it works as a batch export rather than a lookup during a call, and the WizLeads bounce guarantee refunds credits rather than money, above 2% on emails it found and marked valid.
8. Hunter
What it replaces. Finding and verifying work emails out of one credit pool. Hunter also sells a lead database, Discover, and an email sequencer, the partial exception here.
Price. From Hunter's pricing page, under a toggle reading "Pay yearly -30%": Starter is $49 a month, or $34 at $408 billed yearly, for 2,000 credits a month and 24,000 a year. Growth is $149, or $104 at $1,248 yearly, for 10,000 a month. Scale is $299 or $209 for 25,000. Free is 50 credits a month.
What one unit buys. "1 credit is counted for each email found using the Email Finder", and verification takes half a credit from the same pool.
Does a miss cost you? No, on either meter. "If the email address can't be found, it's free", and "If we fail to verify, no credit is counted." Its separate Data Platform sells search and verification as two credit pools, so name which product you mean.
Where it falls short. No phone numbers at all. The word does not appear once on its pricing page, and direct dials are half of what Seamless.AI sells.
9. Wiza
What it replaces. Email and phone data on a list you supply, which since 19 August 2026 means Wiza Prospect, a CSV upload or a CRM import.
Price. From Wiza's pricing page, per user: Starter $49 a month for 100 valid emails and 100 phone numbers, extras at $0.15 and $0.35; Email $99 for 500 valid emails; Email + Phone $199 for 500 of each. Billed annually, Email is $83 a month at $990 a year. Free is 20 valid emails and 5 phones, one time.
What one unit buys. A valid email. Wiza bills on validity, the opposite shape to a per-research meter.
Does a miss cost you? No.
Where it falls short. Its Chrome extension no longer exports from Sales Navigator search pages, lead lists or account lists, and Wiza's help centre says the change "applies to all accounts and plans". On coverage, Wiza beat WizLeads: in the same benchmark run it returned 671 work emails to WizLeads' 670, though 38 came back invalid against 670 verified-valid from WizLeads.
10. Findymail
What it replaces. The same finder job, aimed at cold email, with a bounce guarantee attached.
Price. $99 a month for 5,000 Finder and 5,000 Verifier credits. The rest of the Findymail slider did not re-render; our earlier reading runs Basic $49 for 1,000 through to $849 for 100,000. Those are its credit-based plans; the page now leads with usage-based Individual ($99), Team ($399) and Scale ($999) plans that count no credits, and says credit-based plans fit if you resell Findymail data or embed it in your own product.
What one unit buys. "1 email = 1 credit OR 1 phone = 10 credits." Credits roll over up to twice the monthly allowance, and an address found in the last 30 days is free.
Does a miss cost you? On the finder, no: "You only pay for verified results. No charge if we can't find it." It publishes no rule for its separate Verifier credits. Its guarantee refunds credits above a 5% bounce rate.
Where it falls short. Coverage, on the one axis we have measured. In the enrichment benchmark we ran on the same 1,000 B2B leads for every tool, Findymail returned 615 work emails and 587 passed verification, against 670 verified-valid from WizLeads. That is coverage from one run: not a bounce rate, and silent about the leads no tool found.
What a per-1,000 comparison can and cannot tell you
Every roundup on this term wants one cost-per-1,000 column, and every one ends up comparing different units to build it. The table below is a pro-rata unit cost from each plan's own allowance, not a bill: most of these plans do not carry exactly 1,000 of anything.
| Tool and plan | Unit cost | What the unit is |
|---|---|---|
| WizLeads Freelancer, $39 for 10,000 credits | $11.70 per 1,000 | work emails found, 3 credits each |
| Hunter Starter, $408 billed yearly | $17.00 per 1,000 | emails found, 1 credit each |
| Apollo Basic, $588 a year per seat | $19.60 per 1,000 | emails, 1 credit each |
| Findymail Starter, $99 for 5,000 | $19.80 per 1,000 | emails, 1 credit each |
| Lusha Pro, $629.40 a year | $87.42 per 1,000 | credits; a phone costs five |
| Wiza Email, $99 for 500 | $198.00 per 1,000 | valid emails, allowance pro-rata |
Wiza has two true figures, $24 apart: the allowance is $198 per 1,000, while actually buying 1,000 valid emails in a month on the Email plan costs $99 plus 500 extras at $0.15, which is $174, and on Starter $184.
UpLead is missing because its credit is a different unit: $99 for 170 credits is $582.35 per 1,000, but each credit carries a mobile direct dial as well as an email. Lead411 and RocketReach are missing for the opposite reason, an export nobody outside Lead411 can define and annual lookups sold as unlimited. Seamless.AI cannot go on at all, because there is no price to divide. All you can set beside these rows is its help-centre allowance, 10,000 Universal Credits a month on Pro, against a credit spent on researching a contact rather than getting one.
When Seamless.AI is still the right call
Staying is defensible in two situations. If you want data and outreach in one product, a banner on its pricing page, badged "Limited Time", said "All Plans Now Include Connect". Apollo, RocketReach, Lusha and Hunter each publish an engagement layer too, and we have tested none of them as a sending platform. And if a renewal is already locked inside the 60-day window, use the year you have paid for while a replacement runs alongside it.
Tools we left out, and why
ZoomInfo. A Seamless AI vs ZoomInfo comparison ends where you started, on an annual quote-only contract: a step up in data depth rather than out of the contract shape. Our ZoomInfo alternatives comparison prices ten tools for that move.
ContactOut. With the data-scope switch on Include US/UK, Email is $49 a month with 300 exports and Email + Phone $99 with 600, rendered to a logged-out US visitor. On the page default, Exclude US/UK, those drop to $25 and $49. The "billed annually" line renders with no number and a logged-out visitor gets no billing toggle, so the term is unconfirmed.
Clay. It resells other providers' data rather than running a database of its own: its own nav calls it a "Data marketplace" to "Buy data from 200+ providers in one place".
ListKit, Leadsforge, Coldreach and Landbase. All four rank for this term and all four publish a price on their own site: $597, $49, $899 and $499 a month. They are out as cold email platforms and AI SDR tools rather than contact data sold by the credit. Techsalerator is out for a different reason: its pricing link goes to a quote form and carries no figure at all.
