Considered Both Products
LeadIQ
Chose LeadIQ
They're all pretty comparable. The only major differences would be the data pool. Apollo seems to have a more up to date and more data pool. Everything else is pretty similar.
Chose LeadIQ
I think that LeadIQ is overall better. I think so because i can use LeadIQ for more things than zoominfo. For example, the scribe feature and importing leads directly from sales navigation. That, I think, is one of the best features. Tho, i feel like zoominfo sometimes had more …
Chose LeadIQ
None of these products are great in relation to accurate data. SignalHire was surprisingly better but only just. Lusha is grossly overpriced and ZoomInfo are purely out to make as much off unsuspecting customers as they can - originally pitched $15000 and when we refused the …
Chose LeadIQ
ZoomInfo, LinkedIn Sales Navigator and Lusha Extension
Chose LeadIQ
Have not evaluated other tools similar to LeadIQ outside of the standard Salesforce lead object and Outlook
Plugin.
Chose LeadIQ
LeadIQ has more accurate contact information that is real and up to date. ZoomInfo's extension is very buggy and sometimes requires me to restart my extension and browser Better customer service with LeadIQ.
Chose LeadIQ
The user experience and design of the platform + the data health were far superior to uplead and the other tools I demoed. I was also impressed by the pricing structure and the ability for me to pick and choose my plan or customize based on the sales team numbers and team …
Chose LeadIQ
SellHack and LeadIQ are very similar products, with some subtle differences. As mentioned, our team no longer uses LeadIQ, but rather a combination of SellHack and ZoomInfo. I will say that LeadIQ is a "hybrid" of these two tools, but I would still take ZoomInfo over LeadIQ …
Chose LeadIQ
LeadIQ is great because it's a really lightweight and easy-to-use solution. It's fast and has a good amount of contact information.

ZoomInfo is more robust, which means it has more information--both contact info and other relevant info like news, revenue info, etc. Having said …
Chose LeadIQ
I have also used ZoomInfo. ZoomInfo is a great tool. I wish it had the quick workflow that LeadIQ naturally has. There is no easy way to import a list into your sales enablement platform with ZoomInfo. However, the data that ZoomInfo has is often very accurate and is well …
Chose LeadIQ
I have not used other similar products.
Chose LeadIQ
LeadIQ gives you the best bang for your buck and ROI.
Chose LeadIQ
I prefer LeadIQ because of the way it interacts with LinkedIn. That is really great. However, the accuracy of the data falls short of ZoomInfo. Our team uses both, consistently, and between the two we have a sound arsenal at our fingertips to reach out and contact the people …
Chose LeadIQ
We use Winmo and it is great but LeadIQ allows us to supplement those lists. It is especially useful if someone has recently changed jobs to be able to target them before they are added to the larger databases. It's more of a 1:1 prospecting tool as opposed to a mass list.
Chose LeadIQ
The other solutions are too expensive and their data isn't as accurate. Also, the tool isn't as easy to use in comparison to LeadIQ.
Chose LeadIQ
When it comes to data accuracy, LeadIQ has an upper hand. Also, the user interface is more user-friendly. They have a pop-up bar on the side of the screen instead of having to go to another page to use it. Also, it integrates with Gmail pretty well.
Chose LeadIQ
LeadIQ is much more feature-rich than alternatives. The fact that you can capture to existing accounts as contacts are huge and saves a great deal of time. The Chrome Extension is much less intrusive than Lead411's. I still use Lead411 pretty regularly though. I find myself …
Chose LeadIQ
Hunter's interface and even the download is difficult to navigate, so I never used it when given the opportunity.
Chose LeadIQ
Choosing a data provider is likely quite different in every industry. Where some excel, I'm sure others fall short. I have found that the quality of the data is great and the interface to collect it is foolproof. The integrations to systems like SalesForce and SalesLoft are …
Chose LeadIQ
They do very similar things. I would say that whichever tool you are using, you are going to be getting a very similar user experience. The integrations with other platforms is similar in some sense. LeadIQ is a more cost-effective option than ZoomInfo. Sometimes ZoomInfo …
Chose LeadIQ
There are companies that specialize in many things in this vertical, but I feel like the quality of data that we have experienced with LeadIQ is on par, if not better, than the other companies that we looked at. Our reps don't get bogged down with a lot of metadata as well, …

lemlist has elite UX/UI, better deliverability, and the best customer support when compared to the competition
Chose lemlist
Lemlist stacks up well against other cold email tools, even though most share the same features now. However, the integration of LinkedIn in Lemlist's feature set gives the tool an edge as it differentiates itself as a tool to build relationships with prospects (rather than …

Likelihood to Recommend
  1. Outbound Demand Generation: Self Sourcing leads for prospecting can be a challenge for any outbound team. It was even for us, and when we were doing it manually through LinkedIn and finding emails through email hunter extension. The task was cumbersome and time-taking, and painful. Having something like LeadIQ was magical for the Outbound team when it came to self-sourcing our own contacts and accounts, from our TAM.
  2. TAT for Prospecting decreases: Since sourcing of leads and accounts becomes much more efficient. Reps spend more time on the ground and phone and less time on the CRM. This was again a challenge for us in the past, but we have capitalized on LeadIQ and made our "spending time on the ground" metric much better.

If you're looking to ramp up cold outreach efforts in record timing, lemlist is the best cold outreach software to do so. The UX/UI is hands down the best in this vertical. Our sales team had a immense onboarding timeline for Apollo, not to mention long-wait-time for customer support with Apollo, and it was a breath of fresh air to move to lemlist. There is no all-in-solution for cold email outreach, but lemlist is adding features every year that they're the closest all in one tool on the market.

Pros
  • Once set up, it's super easy. Just click a button and capture the lead.
  • Love that you can capture as a contact instead of a lead and that it will attach to an existing account in Salesforce based on a fuzzy match with Company Name.
  • Love that you can capture data from a lead search list in Sales Navigator, not just from the person's profile page. So you can capture multiple people at a time.
  • I really like that I can see all the related objects that a given contact might have in SFDC. Lead and/or contact records (even with a company mismatch if it's an old record), accounts, and opportunities.

Cons
  • Rocky start to using it - but good follow up with customer service.
  • It can create duplicates in salesforce sometimes which is a headache for some departments who require salesforce to be our pure data source.
  • Sometimes the numbers aren't correct for the right individual - it gets numbers from wrong people with the same name - this has only happened a couple of times, very rare.

We have been very happy with LeadIQ for the past several years. They have quality data at a fair price and that is the most important thing for us. Their product continues to grow and expand and they are great to work with from a customer experience point of view.

There are a lot of cold email solutions on the market, and Lemlist is one of the more expensive solutions. However, Lemlist is a strong contender due to the fact you can do mulri-channel and gather prospect data so easily and effectively

Usability
the data pool of contacts and lead info could be better compared to the other software competitors. The software is still quite easy to use and it has an extension which makes it easy to work side by side with either linkedin or salesforce. One item that doesn't work well which the rep showed us was pulling up the account page on salesforce and LeadIQ being able to pull up the company details based on the domain. That isn't working for us. Perhaps it's the industry we're in.

The user interface is super, super intuitive compared to the competition, especially Apollo. Plus, even if you run into a roadblock, lemlist's customer support is super responsive, and you don't have to pay more money to make them more responsive, it's part of their mission to help you become the best at using their tool for successful cold email campaigns. It's a terrific experience.

Support Rating
I have yet to contact LeadIQ regarding support for the tool. Usability is pretty straight forward, and I was trained well to use the tool properly. I am giving the rating of a five since I can not say I have had contact with the support team.

I think that LeadIQ is overall better. I think so because i can use LeadIQ for more things than zoominfo. For example, the scribe feature and importing leads directly from sales navigation. That, I think, is one of the best features. Tho, i feel like zoominfo sometimes had more accurate information.
