Sales gurus in 2025 may make you believe that selling is as easy as picking up the phone and dialing. What they don’t show is the hard work and the data behind it. LeadIQ helps you with the hard part: uncovering the lead data for high-quality prospects so your sales development team can jump in and close the deal.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, we examine LeadIQ. When we evaluated multiple tools, LeadIQ consistently came out on top as a way to build pipeline confidence. We examine its pros, cons, and top alternatives to consider instead.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is LeadIQ and who is it for?<\/b><\/h2>\n\"LeadIQ\n

LeadIQ is a B2B prospecting platform that provides agile B2B contact data and helps you create and send AI-driven emails.<\/span><\/p>\n

LeadIQ’s top features<\/b><\/h2>\n

Pricing plans<\/b><\/h2>\n

There are four plans: Free, Essential, Pro and Enterprise.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Free plan<\/b> gives you 50 verified emails per month, five phone numbers, 40 emails, and 10 tracked accounts.<\/span><\/p>\n

The cheapest plan is called Essential and will set you back $36<\/b> per user per month. It gives you access to 1,000 emails, 50 phone numbers, 100 emails and 50 tracked accounts.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Pro plan is $79 per month<\/b>, which gets you access to 2,000 verified emails, 100 phone numbers and 500 emails per month, along with 100 tracked accounts and 100 tracked contacts.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Enterprise plan doesn’t have publicly available pricing information<\/b>, but you do get unlimited targeted prospecting, 200 phone numbers per month, 2,000 emails, 300 tracked accounts and 100 tracked contacts.<\/span><\/p>\n

What are LeadIQ customers saying?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Many users report that the database is not that great, and it can often happen that no phone number is available for a contact. The same applies to company data.<\/span><\/p>\n

“1. Often no number available, which is fatal as this is our only tool. I would like to request the possibility of searching in additional pools, etc., as we’re missing out on many opportunities. Cognims always provided us with at least one number, which, of course, was often of lower quality. 2. Scribe’s German wording doesn’t sound natural and requires many adjustments. 3. When filtering on a company’s LinkedIn site on certain personas or fields, the filter is being removed every time I switch to a different tab, which I often need to do, which is a shame. Also, the filter options are quite top-level – I’d expect more of a fine-tuned filter. 4. No company data is shown for many prospects, which is time-consuming to adjust manually. 5. After capturing or requesting a number, it is not automatically added to the CRM tools and I need to go back to the prospect, which creates a bit of an unnecessary back and forth in my opinion.”<\/span><\/i> –<\/span> Source<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

There are issues with integrations not working as described, particularly with Salesforce.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I would say one of the main downsides of LeadIQ that I have encountered is that it often encounters some issues integrating with Salesforce, so sometimes when I have a LinkedIn list of contacts I can’t import them directly to Salesforce because LeadIQ\/Salesforce may have an issue determining what account the person is aligned to.”<\/span><\/i> –<\/span> Source<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

The data is not always accurate, which can lead to some awkward situations. More than one person complained about getting through to the lead’s family member rather than the lead.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Not all of Lead IQ’s contact information is accurate, and a lot of times, I have run into situations where I have gotten the wrong phone number from Lead IQ, and it is someone who may have the same name but not the same person as the prospect I was trying to reach. In some awkward instances, these phone numbers have sometimes been routed to a family member of that person, too. Overall, I have been satisfied with Lead IQ when it comes to sourcing contact information for prospects when tools such as ZoomInfo may not have been able to.”<\/span><\/i> –<\/span> Source<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n
