Sync enriched data directly into Salesforce and HubSpot via two-way CRM integration, or automate enrichment workflows using the API and 1,000+ app connections via Zapier.
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.
Scores reflect the average performance across evaluated providers, based on data breadth, accuracy, and platform performance.

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."
Sales Manager, B2B SaaS
"FullEnrich is simple to use — you feed it a list of LinkedIn profiles and it finds emails and phones at a 60–70% rate, consistently below 2% bounce. Far better coverage than any single provider we tried."
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."

Yes. Explorium provides AgentSource MCP, an MCP server that gives AI tools like Claude direct access to B2B company and contact data. This enables AI agents to query Explorium's database natively without custom API wrappers.
Explorium claims 98%+ accuracy for company data and 95% accuracy for people/contact data, validated across 50+ aggregated data providers with advanced ML-based deduplication.
The default rate limit is 200 requests per minute per API key. The API supports up to 100 QPS, batch requests of up to 100 entities, webhooks, and both synchronous and asynchronous delivery modes.
Yes. Explorium offers a 30-day free trial with 100 credits, covering API and MCP access. Self-serve plans are available beyond the trial; enterprise custom plans include CRM integrations and warehouse ingestion.
High-velocity signals (intent, events, hiring) refresh daily. Semi-dynamic attributes refresh weekly. Stable firmographic fields refresh monthly or quarterly.
Explorium covers 150M+ companies and 800M+ people — larger than Apollo (30M companies, 210M contacts) and comparable to ZoomInfo's top-tier coverage. Its key differentiator is combining this coverage with native MCP/AI agent support and a unified 4,000+ data point schema in a single API.
Yes. FullEnrich shows which provider in the waterfall cascade returned the successful match for each contact. This transparency lets teams evaluate provider quality over time and understand which sources are delivering the highest hit rates for their specific prospect segments.
Yes — FullEnrich credits roll over for up to 3 months, which is a meaningful differentiator from tools like Snov.io or Apollo where credits expire at the end of the billing period. This makes FullEnrich more forgiving for teams with variable monthly enrichment volumes.
Yes. Phone number lookups cost more credits than email lookups — 1 phone number found costs approximately 10 credits, while email enrichment costs less per match. Credits are unified (not split into separate email and phone pools), so you can allocate the same credit balance across either type of enrichment based on your campaign needs.
FullEnrich consistently delivers 65–85% match rates versus the 25–40% typical of single-source providers like Apollo or Lusha. The waterfall approach — cascading through 20+ providers before returning no result — captures matches that any single provider would miss. Users also report bounce rates below 2% versus 15–30% with tools that rely on a single data source.
FullEnrich is an enrichment-only tool — it has no built-in prospecting database. You must supply an existing list (LinkedIn URLs, company domains, or contact names) to enrich. Teams typically pair FullEnrich with a list-building tool (LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Apollo's search, or a CSV export) then run the list through FullEnrich's waterfall to append verified emails and phone numbers.
Both use multi-provider waterfall logic, but they serve different buyer profiles. FullEnrich is a standalone enrichment tool focused purely on maximizing email and phone match rates — it is simpler, cheaper, and requires no technical setup. Clay is a broader GTM workflow platform where waterfall enrichment is one of many features alongside AI research, signal tracking, and CRM automation. Clay typically costs 3–10x more than FullEnrich for equivalent enrichment volume. Teams that just need high-coverage contact data will usually find FullEnrich more cost-effective; teams building complex enrichment and outreach automation benefit from Clay's additional capabilities.
Not officially — FullEnrich 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.
