Pricing

We do not reprint prices. They change too often for that to be honest, and a number on our page with no date is worse than sending you to the source.

What it is

Combines many data sources and AI into one spreadsheet-like interface: build a list, enrich each row from dozens of providers, and generate personalised copy per contact.

Who it is for

Outbound teams who want genuinely researched personalisation instead of inserting a first name.

Where it is strongest

Research at scale — finding out something specific about each company and writing a relevant opening line from it. That is the difference between outbound that works and outbound that does not.

Where it falls short

Steep to learn and credit-based pricing that is easy to burn through while experimenting. AI-written personalisation is recognisable when it is lazy. And it multiplies whatever your approach is, including a bad one.

Our verdict

Recommended for teams whose outbound depends on relevance. Expensive and complex enough that it only pays back if outbound is a serious channel for you.
