How we picked
Contact data is only worth paying for if it’s accurate and you can afford the phone numbers. What matters most to this buyer:
- Emails and phone numbers: Both from one tool, with clear rules about when you are charged.
- Phone numbers on a small budget: We note how many phone numbers the entry plan really gives you, since that is where costs climb.
- A free plan to test accuracy: So you can check results on your own leads before you pay.
- Clear, published pricing: We list the lowest published paid plan and the free plan where there is one, and say when pricing is only from sales.
We read each tool’s own pricing page and product docs on 13 November 2026, then ranked the tools by fit for someone who has names or companies and needs their work emails and phone numbers on a small budget. Where a vendor publishes no price or limit, we say so.
We make bravabase. It is sixth on this list because it is the pick when you don’t have the list yet: it finds the people as well as their contact details, and a phone number uses credits only when one is found. If you already have names, most of the finders above it do lookups for less. Prices change often: check each tool’s site before you buy.
