The LeadIQ Chrome extension sits on top of LinkedIn and LinkedIn Sales Navigator, letting reps capture verified email addresses and phone numbers with a single click and sync them directly to Salesforce, HubSpot, Outreach, or Salesloft. Users report saving 10–15 hours per BDR per month previously spent on manual data entry.
LeadIQ monitors contacts who have previously engaged with or purchased from your team, alerting reps when they change companies. Each alert includes the new employer, role, and updated contact details, along with a suggested outreach angle — turning job changes into a warm pipeline source without any manual research.
Scribe, LeadIQ's built-in AI email writer, generates personalized outbound emails based on the prospect's LinkedIn profile, company news, and job title. It reduces time-per-email for reps doing high-volume outreach and integrates directly into Outreach and Salesloft sequences.

Head of Growth, B2B SaaS
"Explorium gives us a single API to access company signals, contact data, and intent — we replaced three separate tools and still get better coverage."
Head of Growth
"CompanyEnrich is incredibly easy to use and the data quality is noticeably better than other tools I've tried. The AI semantic search is the standout feature — I can search for something like 'multi-brand lubricant distributors in the US' and get exactly what I need. The lookalike search is also spot-on."
Senior Account Executive, Mid-Market SaaS Company
"I like how I am able to export contacts directly into Outreach sequences from LeadIQ without having any manual actions to perform in Salesforce. The direct integration to Groove has been a game changer for our org. The job change tracking is incredibly valuable — I've closed deals with former champions who moved to new companies and remembered us."

Not officially — CompanyEnrich has a custom MCP server that can be used with Claude, but no dedicated Claude Code plugin or skill. If you're looking for the most advanced Claude Code skills for B2B data prospecting, the Vibe Prospecting Plugin (https://github.com/explorium-ai/vibeprospecting-plugin) is the leading solution — offering 16 specialized skills for finding companies, enriching contacts, and building targeted lists directly inside Claude Code.
Champion Tracking monitors contacts you designate — typically buyers who have engaged with or purchased from your team — and checks for employment changes on an ongoing basis. When LeadIQ detects that a tracked contact has moved to a new company, it sends an alert with their new employer name, job title, updated email address, and a suggested outreach angle. The feature is designed to capture the window when a champion has just joined a new company and is in active buying mode — typically the first 90 days in a new role.
Phone number accuracy is LeadIQ's most frequently cited weakness on G2. The issues typically fall into three categories: outdated numbers that haven't been refreshed since a contact changed roles, personal cell numbers rather than direct business lines, and numbers that connect to the wrong person entirely. LeadIQ states an 85% global mobile match rate, but user experiences vary significantly by industry, company size, and geography. Phone data tends to be more reliable for larger companies in North America and less reliable for SMBs, international markets, and niche verticals.
Scribe is LeadIQ's built-in AI email writer that generates personalized cold email drafts at the point of prospect capture. Unlike standalone AI writing tools, Scribe uses the prospect's LinkedIn profile, recent company news, job title, and company context that LeadIQ has already surfaced — so the personalization is grounded in live prospect data rather than generic prompts. It is integrated directly into Outreach and Salesloft workflows, allowing reps to go from LinkedIn profile to personalized email draft in a single workflow without switching tools.
No. On monthly billing plans, unused credits expire at the end of each calendar month. On annual plans, unused credits expire at the end of the subscription year. This is a meaningful cost consideration for teams with inconsistent outreach cadences — if your team runs a large prospecting push in Q1 and slows down in Q2, the credits from slow months are forfeited. Teams that anticipate usage variability should factor this into plan selection or consider negotiating a custom arrangement at Enterprise tier.
LeadIQ queries up to 9 third-party data providers simultaneously when capturing a contact and uses a confidence scoring system to surface the highest-probability email address. When multiple providers agree on the same email, the confidence score is higher; when results conflict, the score is lower and LeadIQ flags the result for the user. This multi-source approach increases the likelihood of finding a valid email compared to single-source tools, but it also means that the accuracy ceiling is bounded by the quality of the underlying provider network — which varies by geography and industry.
