Considered Both Products
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
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
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, …
UpLead
Chose UpLead
UpLead costs a bit more, but I found the data on UpLead to be well worth it in comparison and it was easier to transfer to our CRM (HubSpot). I like how they also provide useful API integration into UpLead and I hope they begin to offer more automation in the future.
Chose UpLead
UpLead provides an easier user interface, a better overall experience, and a much better value versus its competitors. The leads don't bounce, they work every time, and I couldn't be happier or more pleased with the results that I've achieved as a salesperson using UpLead!! I …
Chose UpLead
Winmo is great but is very expensive. Apollo.io is not as user friendly and didn't provide the content in an easy manner. Also didn't have as many mobile numbers.
Chose UpLead
While ZoomInfo has a larger database and offers more of the technologies that we are interested in, UpLead has been a good supplement to ZoomInfo to find leads that we couldn't find in ZoomInfo.
Chose UpLead
UpLead has many similar solutions to ZoomInfo but not quite as extensive and expensive. I find sourcing contact info on UpLead more accurate with the email validation feature provided and if an email gets bounced, I am not charged.
Chose UpLead
I think ZoomInfo is a better lead generation tool. But I think UpLead is the better value for the money. I used ZoomInfo every day for 2 years so right now it's not a fair comparison. So it's possible that UpLead may catch up. I have not been using UpLead every day yet.
Chose UpLead
I like UpLead because it offers a better price point compared to other tools and verifies the potential lead's email by pinging it before I download my list. This ensures that the contact information is accurate and up-to-date, saving time and improving the efficiency of my …
Chose UpLead
As mentioned before, UpLead enables me to verify email addresses as well as browse through different employees of the same company, thus enabling me to pick and choose my correct target audience.
Chose UpLead
UpLead is beginner-friendly and much easy and comfortable for me to use and navigate all the icons.
Chose UpLead
These both software are the lead bases but both have differences, and UpLead is a better database than ZoomInfo. The major difference that I encountered while using ZoomInfo was that a lot of my emails bounced back. On the other hand, UpLead has real-time email verification. …
Chose UpLead
High-quality, targeted and verified lead generation was a challenge for us but UpLead has made this a very easy task with even better quality results than we anticipated. Uplead is very straightforward to use. It allows you to create a filtered view of leads based on the …
Chose UpLead
UpLead is ranked higher because I get genuine data 100% upgraded features filters are awesome in means of searching. Customer service is so friendly and cooperative that keeps me so cool and satisfied with my business workload that has been now being covered in a professional …
Chose UpLead
I wanted to discontinue uplead as I got better results from using crunchbase and Linkedin SalesNav.
Chose UpLead
I have used Crunchbase but UpLead is more authentic and reliable and also it gives better features than the previous one. This helps users to contact the right person to save time for the business. Making a list of companies, industries and location is a breeze with its layout.
Chose UpLead
We tried ZoomInfo before, but, this time, UpLead draws our full attention with its service.
Chose UpLead
Lusha and UpLead are very similar and trusted. But, we choose UpLead because it allows unlimited users in the professional plan.
Chose UpLead
I have used ZoomInfo in the past. While it gives out good information, it costs a fortune and is not as user friendly. I prefer UpLead all the way.
Chose UpLead
Uplead competes well, but Zoominfo lists cell phone numbers. However, Uplead is more affordable and offers almost every feature its competitors offer.

  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.

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.

  • UpLead is the best lead database in terms of price per lead and provided the most accurate and valid emails.
  • It constantly updates their list and adding new people, companies and removes bad leads. However, you need to very careful when you are filtering and sorting data, and any wrong selection can cause tons of garbage leads/ emails.
  • It allows us to send the information directly to our CRM, saving me time and keeping us organized.
  • We especially appreciate the real-time email verification feature of UpLead.

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.

  • I would like to see an easier way to enter a contacts name to get immediate information
  • I would like to see more access to comparable competitors to the company I am searching
  • It would be great if UpLead would suggest targets based upon criteria I can load

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.

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 tool is robust, it's powerful, it's accurate, and it's extremely helpful and pivotal in my current banking sales role. I could not succeed without UpLead's accurate data and contact information. I'm thankful that such an incredible service exists at such a fair and reasonable price, thank you for the value that you provide your customers and thank you for making me a very successful salesman and wealthier man

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.

These both software are the lead bases but both have differences, and UpLead is a better database than ZoomInfo. The major difference that I encountered while using ZoomInfo was that a lot of my emails bounced back. On the other hand, UpLead has real-time email verification. So, there was a high chance when using ZoomInfo that a large number of my emails were bounced back as the email ids were either fake or didn't even exist in the first place.

Return on Investment
  • Return on investment has been positive in terms of filling the sales pipeline with prospecting data

  • The platform can get pricey

  • We use the data to conduct highly targeted email campaigns, on average we're seeing open rates anywhere from 35% to 60% which is very good.
  • We have been able to reduce our cost per lead (CPL) by 20% using UpLead.
  • Using their intent data we can now actively market to warm leads.
