Considered Both Products
RainKing (discontinued)
Chose RainKing (discontinued)
I've used SalesNavigator and Zoom Info. I actually think that Ranking is a great solution if you can use it in tandem with SalesNavigator. When it comes to pulling lists, in my opinion, Ranking does it best. Now that it has the database combined with Discoverorg, it's even more …
Chose RainKing (discontinued)
We recently switched to ZoomInfo, which we believe is perfectly equal to RainKing (DiscoverOrg).
Chose RainKing (discontinued)
We did not renew with RainKing. We chose to go with InsideView, Ibis World and FactSet which provide more accurate data and have very supportive customer satisfaction and account managers. We feel we receive a lot of support in better understanding how to leverage the products, …
Chose RainKing (discontinued)
When we bought RainKing they were not yet owned by DiscoverOrg and we considered DO at that time.
Chose RainKing (discontinued)
I have used Data.com via Salesforce, which I think the org chart and industry feature is easier to understand in Rainking. DiscoverOrg, it has been a while since I used it but I remember liking it. I think the information was not as accurate as the information of Rainking.
Chose RainKing (discontinued)
Hands down best tool in its space! The information provided across all levels is unmatched, whether it is about technology or initiatives or org charts or just getting a prospects contact info, I trust Rainking more than any other tool available.
Chose RainKing (discontinued)
RainKing is far better than InsideView. The information is much more current and correct. RainKing was selected for its focus on IT management and the hygiene of its information. InsideView was very compatible with Salesforce and was actually featured on the Salesforce …
Chose RainKing (discontinued)
It ends up that their datasets didn't have a huge crossover so, having used both, I can say that they both had very high-quality datasets. Now that they're one company they have the best data in the world for IT (to my knowledge). Between the two companies, I would say that the …
Chose RainKing (discontinued)
This fares well against Sales Navigator because of having the e-mail address and phone number. With LinkedIn Sales Navigator, it does match up well with RainKing when it comes to exporting to Salesforce. I do enjoy being able to see the picture of the individual, as LinkedIn …
Chose RainKing (discontinued)
DiscoverOrg recently acquired RainKing. We use both products alongside each other for different departments. RainKing has a robust IT and sizeable C-Level finance dataset while DiscoverOrg had a better finance dataset. Due to the complementary nature of these two offerings …
Chose RainKing (discontinued)
RainKing's platform is more user friendly than DiscoverOrg and the difference in pricing is substantial. For example, we were able to purchase more licenses than originally planned because of the cost savings vs. DiscoverOrg. The cost difference could theoretically be related …
Chose RainKing (discontinued)
We actually originally went with another product but changed our minds because of the price. While it may be pricey, it costs less than other products we looked at; however, this doesn't include [the hefty price tag that comes with] federal data. We're still deciding whether to …
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.

RainKing is awesome if your organization is planning on using it to help you acquire more targeted leads that fit well in the space you are going after. I love that there is no limit as to how many companies you can go after. The CSM that I worked with (Will Elchorn) did a superb job of answering any and all questions that I had.

  • 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
  • I'm not a fan of my account manager. He's not the most responsive.
  • There are limitations to the software (ex: I've found several instances where I get a message that says I need to pay more to get information about certain people/companies).
Read full review
  • 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

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

We actually originally went with another product but changed our minds because of the price. While it may be pricey, it costs less than other products we looked at; however, this doesn't include [the hefty price tag that comes with] federal data. We're still deciding whether to purchase government/federal data. I also really like RK's customer support - they seemed very nice and genuinely wanted to make sure we were getting the best ROI.

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
  • In general can help with more accurate targeting (competitors provide more accurate and granular department designations)
  • It can help with account penetration since it does provide the family tree and it is quite accurate
  • Alerts do help in understanding companies initiatives (however competitors do provide similar service)
Read full review
  • 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.
