Hi Searchfunder community,

Curious to get your take on which of these tools are the best and why? I know Inven is the least expensive (which is a huge factor), but interested to gain people's perspectives on which they like the most and why? I get asked about this all the time and to me they all seem very similar (displacing a Google Search + providing contact data), but feel like I may be missing something.

All the best,
Andrew

We've seen the worst email results with Grata data, for what it's worth. I think people have been hit up too frequently from that database.

I've found Grata to be way overpriced for what it's offering. You can get 85% of the value at 20% of the cost just by using webscraping and automation tools. I use Clay => Apollo => Aplify => Google Sheets to generate and enrich leads. Then, you can do cold outbound via email, LinkedIn, and Facebook. The great thing about Clay is that you can enrich lead data à la carte instead of paying a high overhead.
