🎯 B2B Leads Finder — Apollo, ZoomInfo, Clearbit & Lusha Alternative

Pull B2B company + contact records by industry, location, headcount, tech-stack, or seed-domain list — with emails, LinkedIn URLs, phone numbers, and firmographics. Built as a pay-per-result alternative to Apollo.io ($49-149/mo), ZoomInfo ($14K+/yr), Clearbit ($99-999/mo), Lusha, and Cognism for outbound sales, agency lead gen, and ABM list building.

Why B2B Leads Finder Beats Apollo, ZoomInfo, Clearbit & Lusha

Feature	NexGenData B2B Leads Finder	Apollo.io	ZoomInfo	Clearbit	Lusha
Cost	Pay-per-lead, no seats	$49-149 / user / month	$14K+ / year	$99-999 / month	$39-99 / user / month
Filters	Industry + size + geo + stack + funding	Yes	Yes	Yes	Limited
Emails per record	1-3 verified	1-3	1-3	1-3	1-3
Direct dials / mobile	Yes (where available)	Plan-gated	Yes	No	Yes (credits)
Bulk export	JSON / CSV / Excel	Plan-gated	CRM-only	API-only	CSV
API access	Apify REST + SDKs	Paid plan	Enterprise	Paid plan	Paid plan
Auth required	Apify token	Account + plan	Enterprise contract	API key	Account + plan
Monthly minimum	None	$49+	$$$$	$99+	$39+

Most outbound + agency teams pick this actor instead of Apollo because the per-lead cost is ~5-10× lower at comparable verification quality, and it's the only drop-in alternative to ZoomInfo that ships JSON / CSV / Excel exports without an enterprise contract. Cheaper than Clearbit at scale, with no API-only paywall.

FAQ

Q: Email verification? A: Each email comes with email_status (valid / risky / unknown). Hard-bounce rate is ~3-7% on valid records — comparable to Apollo and Lusha.

Q: How fresh are records? A: Firmographics refresh weekly; contact records are verified on the fly per run.

Q: GDPR / CCPA / CAN-SPAM compliance? A: Output is B2B contact data. You are the data controller for downstream outreach — follow your jurisdiction's prospecting and opt-out rules.

Q: Can I bring my own seed list? A: Yes — pass a seed_domains array to enrich an existing target-account list.

Q: How accurate is the firmographic data vs ZoomInfo? A: Comparable on size + industry; slightly behind on private-company revenue estimates, ahead on tech-stack detection (live signal vs ZoomInfo's stale scrape).

How NexGenData Pricing Works

Every NexGenData actor uses pay-per-event pricing — you only pay for results that actually land in your dataset. No monthly minimum, no seat fees, no surprise overage bills.

• Actor Start: a single-event charge each time you spin the actor up (scaled to memory size)
• Result / item: charged per item written to the default dataset
• No charge for retries, internal proxy rotation, or failed sub-requests — those are absorbed by the platform
