Adoption figures come from company filings, official releases or independent surveys, linked in each entry. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not run hands-on tests. Scoring method

This list is for pharma, medtech and healthcare sales and marketing teams that need to find and target physicians and other providers. We scored ten databases on documented features for provider targeting (35 percent), adoption backed by a published customer or user figure (35 percent) and value based on published USD prices and what they include (30 percent). We compared documented features and published prices on vendor pages and did not run hands-on tests. Vendors that sell only by quote are marked as pending.

AssessmentDefinitive Healthcare ranks first for US provider targeting because it joins physician profiles, facility and group affiliations and claims data, and about 2,120 companies pay for it. IQVIA OneKey is a close second and the pick for multinational pharma, with 25M+ HCPs in 118 countries and 2,000 companies using it. Veeva OpenData is third and fits teams on Veeva CRM. H1 suits prescriber and KOL targeting. RocketReach, ZoomInfo, Apollo.io, UpLead and Lusha are general contact tools that reach healthcare business buyers, and CarePrecise is the low-cost choice for the full US NPI-based provider file at $669.

  1. 1

    Definitive Healthcare

    8.3overall

    US healthcare commercial intelligence platform with physician, hospital, IDN and claims data for sales and marketing teams.

    Best forUS pharma, medtech and health IT sales teams that need physician profiles tied to hospitals, groups and claims activity

    Adoption data

    2,120Definitive Healthcare reported about 2,120 paying customers as of September 30, 2026, down from about 2,400 a year earlier.

    Definitive Healthcare Corp. (SEC Form 10-Q), Definitive Healthcare quarterly report for the period ended September 30, 2026 (2026): “Our total customer count, which includes smaller customers, was approximately 2,120 as of September 30, 2026, compared with approximately 2,400 customers as of September 30, 2025.”

    Definitive Healthcare is built for teams selling into US care delivery, and its documented coverage shows it. PhysicianView profiles more than 3.5 million physicians, nurses and allied health professionals, HospitalView covers more than 9,000 hospital and IDN profiles, and a further 130,000+ physician groups help reps see who practices where and under which system. Claims data in Atlas adds a view of treatment patterns and clinical activity, which helps medtech and pharma reps rank physicians by procedure or prescribing volume instead of by title alone. The company reported about 2,120 paying customers at the end of September 2026 in its SEC filing, a smaller base than a year before. The main drawbacks are cost transparency and geography: there are no list prices, contracts are negotiated, and the data centers on the US. We compared documented features and published facts on Definitive Healthcare and SEC pages and did not run hands-on tests.

    Strengths

    • +Deepest US provider and facility coverage among the platforms here
    • +Links physicians to hospitals, groups and claims activity in one product
    • +Publicly reported customer count backed by SEC filings

    Limitations

    • −No published prices, sales-led annual contracts
    • −US focus, so global pharma teams need a second source
    • −Customer count fell year over year in the latest filing

    SummaryDefinitive Healthcare ranks first for US provider targeting because it ties physicians to facilities, groups and claims. Budget for a quote-based annual contract.

  2. 2

    IQVIA OneKey

    8.3overall

    Global healthcare professional and organization reference database from IQVIA, used for CRM, compliance and targeting.

    Best forGlobal pharma and life sciences teams that need one HCP master file across many countries

    Adoption data

    2,000IQVIA says OneKey reference data is trusted by 2,000 companies across 118 countries.

    IQVIA, OneKey HCP Reference Data (2026): “It provides detailed, continuously updated profiles on millions of HCPs and HCOs trusted by 2000 companies across 118 countries.”

    IQVIA OneKey is the reference file many global drug makers use to keep one clean record per doctor and hospital across countries. IQVIA documents more than 25 million HCPs and more than 6 million HCOs in 118 countries, with organization records linked to the professionals who work there and hundreds of attributes per profile. That makes it a strong base for CRM, territory alignment, compliance checks and analytics rather than a tool a single rep opens to find an email. IQVIA says 2,000 companies use OneKey. For a US-only medtech startup the scale may be more than it needs, and like Definitive Healthcare and Veeva it sells only by quote, so budgets are hard to compare in advance. Buyers should ask which countries, specialties and contact fields their license includes. We compared documented features and published facts on IQVIA pages and did not run hands-on tests.

    Strengths

    • +Widest country coverage among the databases here
    • +Single reference file for CRM and compliance across markets
    • +Large published company user base

    Limitations

    • −Sold only through IQVIA sales with no public prices
    • −Built for enterprise data teams, not quick rep lookups
    • −Contact channels depend on the country and license

    SummaryIQVIA OneKey is the pick for multinational pharma that needs one HCP master file across many countries. It is less suited to small US teams that want quick contact lookups.

  3. 3

    Veeva OpenData

    8.1overall

    HCP and HCO reference data from Veeva, delivered into Veeva CRM and other life sciences systems.

    Best forLife sciences companies that run Veeva CRM and want reference data on the same data model

    Adoption data

    1,552Veeva Systems served 1,552 customers as of January 31, 2026, according to its quarterly SEC filing.

    Veeva Systems Inc. (SEC Form 10-Q), Veeva Systems quarterly report for the period ended July 31, 2026 (2026): “As of January 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024, we served 1,552, 1,477, and 1,432 customers, respectively.”

    Veeva OpenData makes the most sense for pharma and biotech teams that already run Veeva's CRM, because the reference data follows the same data model and lands in the same systems. Veeva documents access to more than 15 million HCP profiles with their HCO affiliations, plus regional products for Europe (53 countries including Canada), Latin America (25 countries), Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa, and China. In the US there are two pieces: OpenData US for reference and compliance data, and OpenData Email US for verified email addresses, which is useful for teams that run approved email to physicians. Veeva served 1,552 customers at the start of 2026 across all of its products. The tradeoffs are pricing, which is quote only, and fit: a medical device firm on a different CRM gains less from the shared data model. We compared documented features and published facts on Veeva and SEC pages and did not run hands-on tests.

    Strengths

    • +Fits directly into Veeva CRM and Veeva data tools
    • +Separate verified US email product
    • +Regional coverage documented country group by country group

    Limitations

    • −No public prices
    • −Most valuable for teams already on Veeva
    • −Customer figure covers all of Veeva, not OpenData alone

    SummaryVeeva OpenData is the natural choice for teams on Veeva CRM that want HCP data and verified US emails in one stack. Others should compare it with OneKey on country coverage and price.

  4. 4

    H1

    7.7overall

    Healthcare professional data and software for finding prescribers, key opinion leaders and clinical trial sites.

    Best forPharma commercial and medical affairs teams that target prescribers and key opinion leaders

    Adoption data

    200H1 says it has 200 customers across six continents.

    H1, H1 homepage (2026): “200 customers across 6 continents”

    H1 approaches provider data from the prescriber and expert side. Its commercial product, Prescriber Universe, is described as a way to pinpoint top prescribers and influencers with detailed HCP profiles and targeting tools, while Commercial Intelligence Streams push customized HCP data into the platforms a commercial team already uses. Medical affairs teams get HCP Universe for finding HCPs and key opinion leaders, and both sides have a master data management product to keep records clean. H1 also sells provider directory products to health plans and digital health companies, which shows the breadth of its underlying data. The company states 200 customers across six continents, fewer than the larger reference data vendors. Like most physician databases it sells by demo and quote. It fits pharma brand teams that care more about who prescribes and who influences than about hospital purchasing. We compared documented features and published facts on H1 pages and did not run hands-on tests.

    Strengths

    • +Built around prescribers and KOLs, which suits pharma brand teams
    • +Data can stream into existing commercial platforms
    • +Covers commercial, medical, payer and digital health use cases

    Limitations

    • −No published prices
    • −Smaller published customer base than IQVIA, Definitive or Veeva
    • −Less focused on facility and hospital purchasing data

    SummaryH1 suits pharma teams targeting prescribers and KOLs. Its customer base is smaller than the top three, and pricing is quote only.

  5. 5

    RocketReach

    7.7overall

    Self-serve contact lookup platform with 700M profiles and a healthcare data add-on on its top plan.

    Best forSmall medtech and health tech sales teams that want self-serve contact lookups with published prices

    Adoption data

    95%RocketReach says it is trusted by 95% of S&P 500 companies.

    RocketReach, RocketReach homepage (2026): “Trusted by 95% of S&P 500”

    RocketReach is a general contact platform, but it is one of the few with published prices that names healthcare data as a feature. The Ultimate plan, at $115 a month billed annually, adds healthcare data, intent data and 20,000 exports a year on top of unlimited verified emails and phone numbers. The entry Essentials plan costs $19 a month billed annually, or $229 a year, but covers email only, and Pro at $52 adds phones. The company describes 700M profiles and 60M companies with unique coverage in healthcare and says it is trusted by 95% of the S&P 500. For a small team selling software or devices to practices, that is a fast way to find decision makers without an enterprise contract. It does not replace a reference database with NPI numbers, affiliations or claims, so pharma field teams should look higher on this list. We compared documented features and published prices on RocketReach pages and did not run hands-on tests.

    Strengths

    • +Published USD prices from $19 a month
    • +Says it has unique coverage in healthcare
    • +Self-serve sign-up without a sales call

    Limitations

    • −Healthcare data only on the $115 Ultimate plan
    • −No NPI, license or claims depth like dedicated provider databases
    • −Essentials covers email only

    SummaryRocketReach is the best self-serve option for small teams selling to practices, with healthcare data on its $115 Ultimate plan. It lacks the identifiers and claims data pharma teams need.

  6. 6

    Apollo.io

    7.5overall

    Low-cost B2B contact database with sequencing and a dialer, sold on credit-based seats.

    Best forEarly-stage health tech teams that want contacts and outreach in one cheap seat

    Adoption data

    600,000Apollo.io says 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.”

    Apollo.io is on this list for one kind of buyer: a small health tech or services company selling to practice owners, clinic managers and hospital staff with business profiles, on a tight budget. The Basic seat costs $49 a month billed annually and grants 30,000 credits a year upfront, and a free plan lets a team test coverage before paying. Sequencing, a Chrome extension and a parallel dialer sit in the same product, so one seat covers finding and contacting prospects. Apollo says more than 600,000 companies use it. It has no documented healthcare layer: no NPI numbers, specialties, licenses, affiliations or prescribing data, so it will miss many practicing physicians and gives pharma or medtech field teams little to target on. Treat it as a cheap supplement for business contacts at healthcare organizations, not a physician database. We compared documented features and published prices on Apollo.io pages and did not run hands-on tests.

    Strengths

    • +Permanent free plan for testing
    • +30,000 credits a year on the $49 Basic seat
    • +Outreach tools included in the same seat

    Limitations

    • −No healthcare-specific data such as NPI numbers or specialties
    • −Physician coverage is limited to people with business profiles
    • −Plan level applies to the whole account

    SummaryApollo.io is the cheapest way to reach business contacts at healthcare organizations. It has no physician identifiers or clinical data.

  7. 7

    ZoomInfo

    7.5overall

    Large B2B contact and company database with intent data, AI agents and CRM enrichment.

    Best forEnterprise sales teams selling to hospital and health system administrators as part of a wider B2B motion

    Adoption data

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

    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 is the general B2B database that many health IT and services vendors already use, and it is useful when the buyer is a hospital executive, IT leader or practice administrator rather than a prescribing physician. The company describes verified data on more than 500 million contacts and 100 million companies, with buyer intent, website visitor tracking and CRM enrichment on top. Those signals help a vendor time outreach to a health system that is researching a category. ZoomInfo reported 1,851 customers paying $100,000 or more a year at the end of the third quarter of 2026. The gap is clinical depth: there is no documented NPI, license, affiliation or claims layer of the kind Definitive Healthcare, IQVIA and Veeva sell, so pharma field teams will not find it a substitute. Prices are quote only and contracts are usually annual. We compared documented features and published facts on ZoomInfo and SEC pages and did not run hands-on tests.

    Strengths

    • +Strong coverage of hospital and health system business roles
    • +Intent signals help time outreach to health systems
    • +Large enterprise customer base reported to the SEC

    Limitations

    • −No published prices
    • −Not a clinical reference database with NPI or claims data
    • −Annual contracts are a large commitment for small teams

    SummaryZoomInfo fits teams selling to hospital administrators within a wider B2B program. It is not a physician reference database.

  8. 8

    CarePrecise

    7.4overall

    Downloadable US healthcare provider database built from NPI, PECOS and other federal and private sources.

    Best forSmall teams, analysts and agencies that want the full US provider file for a one-time price

    CarePrecise sells the US provider universe as files you own, which is unusual among physician databases. The complete dataset starts at $669 as a one-time purchase, and Platinum, at $999, adds the extended data and ListMaker tools for pulling targeted lists. The company describes 9.4 million US healthcare provider records, including more than 1.2 million physicians, with NPI numbers, specialty taxonomy codes, Medicare identifiers, state license numbers, phones, faxes and multiple practice addresses, built from the NPI registry, PECOS and the HHS sanctioned providers list. A separate Authoritative Physician Database costs $1,259, and email and cell numbers are a separate product. The files run on ordinary computers with monthly or quarterly update options. It lacks the CRM integration, claims analytics and account support of the enterprise platforms above, and it publishes no customer count. For a small team that needs accurate provider identifiers and addresses without a subscription, it is the clearest value here. We compared documented features and published prices on CarePrecise pages and did not run hands-on tests.

    Strengths

    • +Published one-time USD prices
    • +Covers every NPI record, not just physicians
    • +State databases and custom lists available

    Limitations

    • −Desktop data files, not a CRM-connected SaaS platform
    • −Email and cell numbers sold as a separate product
    • −No claims-based targeting or influence scores

    SummaryCarePrecise is the best value for teams that need US provider identifiers and addresses without a subscription. It is a data file, not a sales platform.

  9. 9

    UpLead

    7.3overall

    Verified B2B contact database that also sells prebuilt healthcare email lists by state and nationwide.

    Best forTeams that want a one-off healthcare contact list or a small monthly credit plan

    Adoption data

    4,000UpLead says it is trusted by more than 4,000 businesses.

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

    UpLead offers two ways to buy healthcare contacts. Its subscription plans start at $74 a month billed annually for 2,040 credits, where one credit unlocks both an email and a mobile direct dial. Separately, a healthcare email list page sells prebuilt packages of decision makers at hospitals, clinics, practices and health systems: a 902-contact starter for $399, state lists from about $1,499, and a nationwide file of 4,473,987 verified US contacts for $49,999, with verification run at export. UpLead says it is trusted by more than 4,000 businesses. The data is aimed at organizations and roles, not NPI-level physician records with specialties and licenses, so it fits health tech and services vendors more than pharma field forces. The company also notes delivered counts can vary by up to 7% either way. We compared documented features and published prices on UpLead pages and did not run hands-on tests.

    Strengths

    • +Published one-time prices for healthcare lists
    • +One credit covers both email and mobile
    • +Monthly plans for ongoing lookups

    Limitations

    • −Nationwide healthcare list costs $49,999
    • −Contacts center on healthcare organizations rather than NPI-level physician records
    • −Delivered counts can vary by up to 7%

    SummaryUpLead suits teams that want healthcare organization contacts on a plan or as a one-off list. Pharma teams targeting physicians by specialty need a reference database.

  10. 10

    Lusha

    7.2overall

    B2B contact database and browser extension for finding verified emails and phone numbers.

    Best forIndividual reps who look up healthcare business contacts from a browser extension

    Adoption data

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

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

    Lusha is a general prospecting tool with a low entry price, included here for reps who mainly sell to the business side of healthcare and look people up one at a time. The Starter plan costs $37.45 a month billed yearly with 4,800 credits a year granted upfront and one seat, and a free plan is available. Features include verified emails and phone numbers, search filters, company data, email sequences and a browser extension that reveals contacts on professional networks and websites. Lusha says more than 280,000 go-to-market teams use it. For physician targeting it is the weakest fit on this list: it documents no NPI numbers, specialties, licenses or affiliations, and many practicing doctors have no business profile to match. Use it as a cheap lookup tool for administrators and buyers, alongside a provider database for clinicians. We compared documented features and published prices on Lusha pages and did not run hands-on tests.

    Strengths

    • +Low published entry price
    • +Free plan for testing
    • +Quick lookups from a browser extension

    Limitations

    • −No healthcare identifiers, specialties or claims data
    • −Coverage of practicing physicians is not documented
    • −Credits run out fast if phones are revealed often

    SummaryLusha is a cheap lookup tool for healthcare business buyers. It is not built for finding physicians by specialty.

Choosing a product

Decide between a reference database and a contact tool
Reference databases such as Definitive Healthcare, IQVIA OneKey, Veeva OpenData and H1 hold provider identifiers, specialties, affiliations and in some cases claims, and they feed CRM and compliance systems. Contact tools such as RocketReach, ZoomInfo, Apollo.io, UpLead and Lusha find emails and phones for business roles. Pharma and medtech field teams usually need the first kind.
Check identifiers and affiliations
Ask whether each record carries an NPI number, specialty taxonomy, state license and hospital or group affiliation. CarePrecise documents NPI numbers, Medicare identifiers and license numbers from federal sources, while Definitive Healthcare links physicians to 9K+ hospitals and IDNs and 130K+ physician groups.
Match coverage to your markets
US-only teams can start with Definitive Healthcare or Veeva OpenData US. Teams selling in many countries should compare IQVIA OneKey, which lists 118 countries, with Veeva's regional products for Europe (53 countries), Latin America (25) and the Middle East and Africa (22).
Ask how contact channels are licensed
Physician emails are often a separate product. Veeva sells OpenData Email US alongside OpenData US, CarePrecise sells email and cell numbers separately, and RocketReach includes healthcare data only on its $115 Ultimate plan. Get the channel list in writing before you sign.
Budget for quote-based contracts
Definitive Healthcare, IQVIA OneKey, Veeva OpenData, H1 and ZoomInfo publish no list prices. If budget is tight, CarePrecise at $669 one-time or a UpLead state healthcare list can cover a first campaign while you negotiate an enterprise license.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best physician database?

Definitive Healthcare is the best physician database for US pharma, medtech and health IT sales teams in 2026, with PhysicianView profiles on 3.5M+ physicians, nurses and allied health professionals linked to 9K+ hospitals and IDNs and to claims data. IQVIA OneKey is the stronger choice for global teams, with 25M+ HCPs in 118 countries. Both sell by quote.

What is the cheapest US physician database?

CarePrecise sells its complete US healthcare provider database, built from NPI and PECOS data, for $669 as a one-time purchase, and a dedicated physician database for $1,259. For self-serve contact lookups, RocketReach starts at $19 a month billed annually, though its healthcare data sits on the $115 Ultimate plan.

Is the free NPI registry enough for physician targeting?

The federal NPI registry gives every provider's NPI number, specialty taxonomy and practice address, which is why vendors like CarePrecise build on it. It does not add claims activity, hospital affiliations scored for sales use or verified emails, which is what Definitive Healthcare, IQVIA OneKey and Veeva OpenData charge for.

Which physician database works best with Veeva CRM?

Veeva OpenData follows the same data model as Veeva CRM and includes OpenData US for reference data and OpenData Email US for verified email addresses. Teams on Veeva usually compare it with IQVIA OneKey, which also feeds CRM systems and covers 118 countries.

Can I use ZoomInfo or Apollo.io to find doctors?

They work for business roles at hospitals and practices, such as administrators and IT leaders, but they document no NPI numbers, specialties or claims data. Pharma and medtech teams targeting physicians by specialty or prescribing activity should use a dedicated provider database.
