9 Best B2B Contact Databases of 2026

1. 1

   Apollo.io

   Contact and account database with sequences, a dialer and CRM sync sold on credit-based seats.

   9.2overall

   Contact and account database with sequences, a dialer and CRM sync sold on credit-based seats.

   Best forSales teams that want verified emails, phone credits and outreach in one low-cost seat

   Adoption data

   600,000Apollo.io reports that more than 600,000 companies use its platform.

   Apollo.io, Apollo.io homepage (2026): “Over 600,000 companies use Apollo to help stay ahead of the competition.”

   For a rep who needs business emails and phone numbers at the lowest cost per lookup, Apollo.io has the strongest public offer on this list. The Basic seat is $49 per month on annual billing and arrives with 30,000 credits a year, and the free plan gives each seat 900 credits a year to test the 240M+ contact and 30M+ account database. Apollo.io also bundles email sequences and, on paid plans, a dialer, so a small team can source contacts and contact them without a second subscription. Adoption is strong: the company says more than 600,000 companies use the product. The tradeoffs are coverage and limits. Its published contact total is lower than several rivals, the free plan connects only Gmail inboxes and the Organization tier requires three seats. Buyers in niche markets should run the same account list through a second database before they commit. We compared documented features and published prices on Apollo.io pages and did not run hands-on tests.

   Strengths

   • +Permanent free plan with 900 credits per seat a year
   • +Basic seat comes with 30,000 credits a year
   • +Highest published company user count among the databases here

   Limitations

   • −Free plan works with Gmail accounts only
   • −Organization tier needs at least 3 seats
   • −Published contact total trails Lusha, ZoomInfo and RocketReach

   SummaryApollo.io ranks first on cost per lookup and the largest published user base among these databases. Check niche coverage against a second vendor before a long contract.

2. 2

   Lusha

   Prospecting database and browser extension with verified emails and phone numbers on a simple credit plan.

   8.5overall

   Prospecting database and browser extension with verified emails and phone numbers on a simple credit plan.

   Best forSmall sales teams that want a large contact base and fast lookups from a browser extension

   Adoption data

   280,000Lusha says more than 280,000 go-to-market teams worldwide use its data.

   Lusha, Lusha homepage (2026): “Trusted by 280,000+ GTM teams worldwide”

   Lusha suits teams that prospect one contact at a time from LinkedIn or a company website and want an answer in a click. The database lists 515M+ contacts and 29M+ companies, and every record carries 77 fields plus an email confidence score. Pricing is easy to read: a free plan with 40 credits a month, then Starter at $37.45 per month billed yearly with 4,800 credits a year. That makes Lusha the cheapest verified paid plan here that can also reveal phone numbers, though each phone reveal costs 5 credits while an email costs 1, so a team that calls first will drain Starter quickly. Bulk work through the API or CSV enrichment begins on the $52.45 Pro plan. Lusha says more than 280,000 go-to-market teams use it, which places it second on adoption. We compared documented features and published prices on Lusha pages and did not run hands-on tests.

   Strengths

   • +Lowest verified paid entry with phone numbers included in the credit pool
   • +Free plan with 40 credits every month
   • +Second-largest published adoption figure here

   Limitations

   • −Phone reveals cost 5 credits against 1 for an email
   • −Starter allows 4,800 credits a year
   • −API and file enrichment start at the $52.45 Pro plan

   SummaryLusha is the easiest paid way to get phone numbers from a large database at a low monthly price. Phone-heavy teams should model the 5-credit cost per number first.

3. 3

   RocketReach

   Contact lookup service for professional emails and phone numbers across 700M profiles.

   8.4overall

   Contact lookup service for professional emails and phone numbers across 700M profiles.

   Best forIndividual sellers and recruiters who mostly need email addresses at a low annual price

   Adoption data

   26 millionRocketReach says more than 26 million users and 95 percent of the S&P 500 use its service.

   RocketReach, RocketReach homepage (2026): “Trusted by over 26 million users and 95% of the S&P 500.”

   RocketReach is the budget answer for buyers who mainly need verified business emails. Essentials costs $19 per month, or $229 billed annually, and covers 1,200 exports a year against a database the company puts at 700M profiles and 60M companies, the largest profile count we found among these vendors. The catch for phone-based prospecting is that direct dials and mobile numbers start on Pro at $52 per month billed annually, which also raises the export cap to 3,600 a year and adds CRM and sequencer integrations. Team plans move to a sales process with pricing from $6K a year. RocketReach reports more than 26 million users and says 95 percent of the S&P 500 use it, a strong adoption signal for a low-cost tool. It has no permanent free plan. We compared documented features and published prices on RocketReach pages and did not run hands-on tests.

   Strengths

   • +Cheapest verified paid plan on this list at $19 a month
   • +Largest published profile count here
   • +Large published user base of 26 million+

   Limitations

   • −Essentials includes no phone numbers
   • −1,200 exports a year on Essentials
   • −Team plans start at $6K a year through sales

   SummaryRocketReach is the cheapest verified entry for email lookups and claims the largest profile count here. Budget for Pro if you need direct dials.

4. 4

   ZoomInfo

   Enterprise go-to-market data platform with company, contact, intent and website visitor data.

   8.3overall

   Enterprise go-to-market data platform with company, contact, intent and website visitor data.

   Best forMid-market and enterprise revenue teams that need the deepest North American coverage

   Adoption data

   1,851ZoomInfo reported 1,851 customers paying $100,000 or more in annual contract value at the end of the third quarter of 2026.

   ZoomInfo Technologies Inc. (SEC Form 8-K, Exhibit 99.1), ZoomInfo third quarter 2026 financial results (2026): “the Company closed the quarter with 1,851 customers with $100,000 or greater in ACV”

   ZoomInfo has the broadest feature set and the largest published company file among the databases we compared: 500M+ contacts and 100M+ companies, including 34M+ companies and 200M+ professionals outside North America. Beyond emails and direct dials it sells intent data, website visitor identification and a GTM Studio workspace that checks lookups against 25+ sources, with 20+ native integrations. Its public filings show where it sells best: 1,851 customers paid $100,000 or more in annual contract value at the end of the third quarter of 2026. The weak point for most buyers is cost transparency. ZoomInfo publishes no list prices, quotes packages with consumption credits through sales, and its free plan is a limited entry point rather than a working database seat. That keeps its value score low and its overall rank at fourth despite the top features score. We compared documented features and published materials on ZoomInfo pages and did not run hands-on tests.

   Strengths

   • +Deepest published company coverage on this list
   • +Intent and visitor data alongside contacts
   • +Public-company disclosures back its adoption figures

   Limitations

   • −No list prices published
   • −Buying requires a sales process and annual contract
   • −Adoption figure counts only its largest customers

   SummaryZoomInfo has the most features and company coverage on this list. Its quote-only pricing suits large teams with procurement time, not small ones.

   Cognism

   Compliance-focused B2B data provider with verified mobiles and sales signals, strong in Europe.

   7.3overall

   Compliance-focused B2B data provider with verified mobiles and sales signals, strong in Europe.

   Best forTeams prospecting in the UK and Europe that need phone-verified mobiles

   Adoption data

   4,000Cognism says more than 4,000 companies worldwide use its data.

   Cognism, Cognism Pricing (2026): “Trusted by 4000+ companies worldwide”

   Cognism is the pick on this list for teams whose buyers sit in the UK and Europe and who rely on calling. Its data covers emails, mobile numbers, job titles and work history, and the Pro plan adds on-demand mobile verification and intent data on top of hiring, funding and job change signals. Developers get MCP and API access, and a CRM enrichment add-on keeps existing records current. One credit reveals one contact, which is simple to budget. Two things hold it back in our ranking. Cognism publishes no prices, so every buyer goes through a quote, and both plans include 5 seats, which makes it a poor fit for a solo rep or a two-person team. Its published customer count of 4,000+ companies is also well below the leaders. We compared documented features and published materials on Cognism pages and did not run hands-on tests.

   Strengths

   • +Mobile verification on demand
   • +Sales signals included with contact data
   • +One credit per revealed contact

   Limitations

   • −No published prices
   • −Plans include 5 seats, too many for solo buyers
   • −Intent data and verification need the Pro plan

   SummaryCognism is a strong choice for phone-led prospecting in Europe. Quote-only pricing and 5-seat plans rule it out for very small teams.

   UpLead

   B2B lead database that verifies emails in real time as you search.

   7.3overall

   B2B lead database that verifies emails in real time as you search.

   Best forSmall teams that want one credit to cover both email and mobile for a contact

   Adoption data

   4,000UpLead says more than 4,000 businesses use its data.

   UpLead, UpLead homepage (2026): “Trusted By 4,000+ Businesses”

   UpLead's main selling point for phone-first prospecting is its credit rule: one credit unlocks a contact's email and mobile direct dial together, where Lusha charges five credits for a phone number alone. Essentials costs $74 per month on annual billing with 2,040 credits, and the company says emails are verified in real time as you search its 200M+ lead database. A Chrome extension handles lookups on websites, and integrations reach CRMs directly or 1,500+ apps through Zapier. The limits are size and scale. The database is smaller than those of Apollo.io, Lusha, ZoomInfo and RocketReach, the only free option is a 7-day trial with 5 credits, and the published customer count of 4,000+ businesses is modest. For a team that needs a few hundred complete contacts a month with phone numbers, the math can still beat larger vendors. We compared documented features and published prices on UpLead pages and did not run hands-on tests.

   Strengths

   • +Email and phone share one credit per contact
   • +Published prices and credit counts
   • +Real-time verification at search time

   Limitations

   • −No permanent free plan
   • −Smaller database than most rivals here
   • −Lower published customer count

   SummaryUpLead's single credit for email and mobile makes complete contacts predictable to budget. Its smaller database and lack of a free plan hold it back.

7. 7

   Kaspr

   LinkedIn Chrome extension that returns European phone numbers and emails from profiles.

   7.2overall

   LinkedIn Chrome extension that returns European phone numbers and emails from profiles.

   Best forReps and recruiters who prospect from LinkedIn and Sales Navigator in Europe

   Kaspr is built around a single workflow: open a LinkedIn profile, group or event and pull a phone number or email from the Chrome extension. The company says it holds 500m+ verified phone numbers and email addresses across 200m+ profiles, aimed at European contacts and described as GDPR aligned. The free plan includes 15 B2B email credits, 5 phone credits and 5 direct email credits a month. Starter costs $49 per user per month billed annually, or $65 monthly, with unlimited B2B email credits, 100 phone credits a month, Sales Navigator support and up to 12,000 exports a year. Business at $79 doubles phone credits to 200. Credits are shared across users, which helps teams with uneven usage. Kaspr publishes no user or customer count we could cite, so its adoption score is conservative, and API access is available only on request. We compared documented features and published prices on Kaspr pages and did not run hands-on tests.

   Strengths

   • +Unlimited B2B email credits from $49 a user
   • +Free plan includes phone credits
   • +Shared credit pool across the account

   Limitations

   • −No published user or customer count
   • −Starter includes 100 phone credits a month
   • −API access only on request

   SummaryKaspr gives LinkedIn-first reps unlimited email lookups and European phone numbers at a modest price. Missing adoption data keeps it mid-table.

8. 8

   LeadIQ

   Prospecting tool that captures emails and mobiles from LinkedIn and syncs them to CRMs and sequencers.

   6.9overall

   Prospecting tool that captures emails and mobiles from LinkedIn and syncs them to CRMs and sequencers.

   Best forSDR teams on Salesforce and Outreach that capture prospects from Sales Navigator

   LeadIQ fits SDR teams that live in LinkedIn and Sales Navigator and want each prospect pushed straight to the CRM and the sequencing tool. The Chrome extension captures emails and mobile numbers, and the company says it queries a live dataset of 750 million+ professional profiles refreshed every month. The Pro plan lists job change tracking for past champions, signals such as 10-K and hiring mentions, an AI message writer and CRM and webform enrichment. Free gives 1 user 50 credits, and Pro starts at $200 per month for up to 5 users, with annual billing priced 25 percent below monthly. Database search is limited on both plans, and team governance, file enrichment and duplicate detection sit in Enterprise. LeadIQ publishes no user or customer count we could cite, so its adoption score is conservative. We compared documented features and published prices on LeadIQ pages and did not run hands-on tests.

   Strengths

   • +Free plan with 50 credits for one user
   • +Pro covers up to 5 users
   • +Job change tracking included

   Limitations

   • −Pro starts at $200 a month, high for one rep
   • −No published user or customer count
   • −Database search is limited on Free and Pro

   SummaryLeadIQ fits SDR teams that capture prospects from Sales Navigator into Salesforce. The $200 Pro entry is better value shared across several users than for one rep.

   D&B Hoovers

   Dun & Bradstreet sales intelligence product with company data, contacts, buying signals and an MCP connection.

   6.7overall

   Dun & Bradstreet sales intelligence product with company data, contacts, buying signals and an MCP connection.

   Best forEnterprises and banks that already use Dun & Bradstreet company data

   D&B Hoovers comes from Dun & Bradstreet and leans on the company data behind it more than on raw contact counts. The product page describes company intelligence, contact data, buying signals, intent, website engagement, company news and trigger events, with an MCP connection that brings Hoovers data into AI tools and agent workflows. Customer stories on the page include First Horizon Bank, which gave its bankers Hoovers for their own prospecting, and a team that integrated it with Salesforce. For a sales rep comparing contact databases, the gaps are hard to ignore: there are no published prices, the product page lists no contact or user counts we could cite, and the trial is by request. That keeps its adoption and value scores at the bottom of this list. Buyers already using Dun & Bradstreet data for credit or compliance work may find the fit easier to justify. We compared documented features and published materials on Dun & Bradstreet pages and did not run hands-on tests.

   Strengths

   • +Built on Dun & Bradstreet commercial data
   • +Buying signals and trigger events alongside contacts
   • +MCP connection for AI assistants

   Limitations

   • −No published prices
   • −No published contact count or user count on the product page
   • −Trial only by request

   SummaryD&B Hoovers makes sense for buyers already on Dun & Bradstreet data. Without public prices or contact counts it ranks last for reps choosing a contact database.
