Data & lead listswhere every campaign starts
A newer prospecting database swinging hard at the incumbents on coverage and price. One of the first stops when Apollo's data goes thin in your segment.
The biggest usable B2B database for the money. Email coverage is solid, phone numbers less so. A fine starting point before you graduate to waterfalls.
Lookalike hunting: feed it your ten best customers, get back the companies that resemble them. The fastest honest way to grow a TAM.
Account scoring for when "SaaS, 50 to 200 employees" is too blunt an instrument. Finds the accounts that actually fit, and says why.
The e-commerce database. Tech stack, app usage and revenue estimates for basically every store worth knowing about.
Funding data from the source. Better as a signal feed for who just raised than as a prospecting database.
Data orchestrationthe layer that turns lists into campaigns
Spreadsheet meets 100+ data providers meets AI research agents. The center of gravity for modern outbound ops. Steep learning curve, absurd ceiling. We build the research, enrichment and campaign workflows around it.
A Clay alternative whose credit math works out cheaper for some teams. Worth pricing against your actual volume before you commit either way.
Revenue orchestration on top of your data warehouse. For teams whose GTM data outgrew spreadsheets entirely.
Self-hostable automation with real logic, loops and code steps. Where the duct tape starts becoming infrastructure.
Visual automation with more depth than people expect. The middle ground between Zapier and writing code.
The automation everyone starts with. Costs climb at volume, but nothing is faster to wire together on day one.
Email finding & verificationbounces are self-inflicted
Consistently among the best hit rates on work emails, and honest about what it can't verify. A permanent slot in most waterfalls we design.
Clean emails with very few bounces. Does one job and refuses to get distracted, which we respect.
Fast, affordable, wide coverage. Also does mobile numbers and email-to-profile matching, so it earns two slots in a waterfall.
Budget finder that punches above its price, especially in Europe. Good late-waterfall pick to squeeze out the last hits.
Verification without drama. Cheap, accurate, done. Run every list through something like this before a single send.
The enterprise verifier. You pay more and get SLAs, audit trails and a compliance team that answers email.
Sending platformsthe engine room
Built for volume: inbox rotation, unified reply box, warmup included. The workhorse pick when the plan involves real scale.
The other workhorse. Slicker interface, enormous community, ships features weekly. You won't go wrong with either of the big two.
Newer entrant with granular sending controls and an ops-first mindset. Worth a look if you've hit the ceiling of the big two.
Strong on personalization (custom images, video thumbnails) and multichannel sequences. More craft, less raw volume.
Inboxes & infrastructureyour main domain never touches cold email
Google and Microsoft inboxes built specifically for cold email scale, provisioned fast and priced for volume. We partner with them, and we'd recommend them anyway.
Inbox infrastructure with quick provisioning and dashboards that make 100 mailboxes manageable. A GrowthPal partner for the infrastructure side.
Spin up sending domains and inboxes in bulk without living inside admin consoles. DNS handled, sanity preserved.
Domainscheap, separate, disposable by design
Cheap domains, free WHOIS privacy, no upsell maze. A perfectly good home for the sending domains that protect your real one.
The default registrar for a reason. Bulk search and bulk renewal tools that make 40 sending domains a ten-minute job.
Namecheap's newer, cleaner sibling. Modern panel, sharp prices, built with bulk buying in mind.
The biggest registrar on earth. Fine for domains; watch the renewal pricing and skip every upsell on the way to checkout.
At-cost pricing forever and genuinely fast DNS. The catch: domains must sit on Cloudflare DNS, which you probably want anyway.
Deliverability & testingthe part everyone skips, then regrets
Seed-list testing: see exactly which tab, or which spam folder, you land in at every major provider. Reality checks on demand.
Warmup plus a spam score you can actually act on. Good at answering "why did this stop landing?" before it costs you a month.
Inbox placement tests and blacklist monitoring in one dashboard. Cheap insurance for expensive campaigns.
Free DNS, SPF, DKIM and blacklist checks. The first tab to open when something smells off, and it's been that tab for 20 years.
Free, first-party, and most senders never open it. Your Gmail domain reputation, straight from Google's mouth.
Signals & intenttiming beats copy
Company intelligence as an API: hiring surges, tech adoption, news events, partnerships. The signal layer under a lot of "how did they know that" emails.
Person-level identification of your US website visitors, pushed to Slack. The warmest signal a cold campaign can start from.
Website visitors plus contact-level surge signals, piped wherever your workflows live. Built by outbound people for outbound people.
Social signals at scale: who's posting about your problem, who's engaging with your competitors. Feeds beautifully into Clay.
Tracks your champions when they change jobs. The warmest "cold" list you will ever run, with the math to prove it.
Who runs what technology. The interface is from another decade; the data keeps earning its keep in technographic segments.
See the ads a company runs on LinkedIn, Meta and Google. Useful when “they advertise” is part of your ICP, or you need a concrete reason to reach out.
Connect the clues scattered across your CRM, website and product. Helps your team see who is showing interest and decide where a follow-up makes sense.
LinkedInthe second channel
Phone & enrichmentemail books the meeting, channels multiply it
Waterfall enrichment for emails and mobile numbers: one request, 20+ sources, and you only pay for valid results. Hard to argue with.
AI parallel dialer: your reps spend their hour talking to humans instead of listening to ringtones. Cold calling's quality-of-life upgrade.
The other AI parallel dialer, leaning enterprise, with deep Salesforce hooks and coaching layers.
Cloud phone system for when the team needs real numbers, routing and call logs rather than a dialing sprint.
Mobile numbers in Europe, where most databases go quiet. If your market answers the phone in an EU accent, start here.
One provider comes up empty. The next one may have it. FullEnrich checks multiple sources for work emails and phone numbers, then verifies what it finds.
CRM & pipelinewhere replies become revenue
The default CRM for a reason. The free tier carries a founder-led motion surprisingly far before anyone needs to talk pricing.
A CRM that behaves like a modern data tool: flexible objects, fast interface, built for ops-minded teams who resent clicking.
Simple pipeline management your reps will actually keep updated, which beats a sophisticated one they won't.
The enterprise standard. If your buyers run their world in it, meeting them there beats convincing them to leave.
Lightweight CRM for founder-led sales. Closer to a very smart contact book than an enterprise system, in the best way.
Meetings & team opsdon't fumble the handoff
The scheduling standard. Nobody has ever replied to a booking link asking what it is, and that's worth a lot.
Open-source scheduling with routing forms and an API you can build on. The pick when booking flows get clever.
AI notetaker with a free tier that's actually free. Summaries clean enough to paste straight into the CRM.
Records, transcribes and searches every call. When a prospect says "as I mentioned last time," you'll actually know.
AI & engineeringthe stack behind the stack
Background jobs and AI workflows in TypeScript. We use it and love it: it's the glue behind several of our internal systems.
Deploy anything without touching AWS. The fastest path we know from script to running service.
Code running at the edge in milliseconds, generous free tier included. Overkill for most agencies, wonderful when it isn't.
An AI engineer in your terminal: builds, debugs and ships real systems. This very directory was built with it.
Nothing here yet.
