Happy Friday everyone!
I used Grata last year and I admit it is very easy to use but there are couple of drawbacks and it is very expensive. Could you please share what software/solution do you use for sourcing, how much you pay and would be great if you could comment on what do you like and what you dont like about it.
THANKS!

I think Apollo would be the best option for you. It has 10x (arguably 50x) better contact quality than Grata, and there is a free trial for you to try out. The paid versions aren't that bad either - $50-80/month. In my experience, Apollo valid emails work ~75% of the time, whereas for Grata it might be ~50% (with less contacts found also)
The main downside is that you can't filter for bootstrapped companies as easily (this is the only feature about Grata that we've found to be unique/value-add vs competitors).
P.S., if you contact Apollo support to cancel, sometimes they'll offer an ~80% discount ;)
