Datacrecy vs ZoomInfo
A ZoomInfo alternative with nothing to hide
ZoomInfo is the enterprise default, and it behaves like one: pricing behind a demo call, contracts behind an account executive, data behind their login. Datacrecy publishes its prices, starts you with 100 free credits, and lets you reveal real contacts before you spend anything.

Why people switch from ZoomInfo
Nobody leaves ZoomInfo because the product is broken. They leave because of what it costs and what it takes to find out what it costs.
Pricing is a page, not a phone call
ZoomInfo quotes every deal individually, and buyer reports put entry contracts around $14,995 a year, with the median actual payment near $33,500. Our tiers are $39, $69, and $249 a month, and the free plan is $0 forever. You can do the math before talking to anyone, because there is no one to talk to.
The free plan shows you real records
Every contact database claims its data is good. ZoomInfo asks for a demo before showing you a single one. Here the free plan reveals actual emails and phone numbers from minute one, so you judge the data on your own target list, not our marketing.
Credits that map to the work, not to seats
40,000 credits on the $39 Starter plan is a real month of prospecting for a founder or a recruiter. Seat-and-contract enterprise pricing makes little sense when the team is you and a laptop.
Leaving is as easy as joining
No renewal windows, no cancellation calls, no auto-renew surprises. Monthly billing means you leave when you want to leave.
Keep ZoomInfo if
Honesty costs nothing here: there are real reasons the enterprise standard is the enterprise standard.
- Your revenue team runs on ZoomInfo's intent signals and org charts inside Salesforce or Outreach. Those workflows are real, and we do not replace them.
- Your company already pays for 50 or more seats and the contract is absorbed. Switching costs are yours to weigh, not ours to minimize.
- You need conversation intelligence bundled with the data. ZoomInfo bought Chorus for a reason.

Is Datacrecy a real ZoomInfo alternative or just a cheaper one?+
Datacrecy is a contact database with 2.5B+ searchable records, verified emails, and direct phone numbers. We do not have ZoomInfo's intent data or org charts. If those features are why you pay ZoomInfo, stay. If you pay ZoomInfo mostly for contact data, that is the part we replace for $39 a month.
How much does ZoomInfo actually cost?+
ZoomInfo does not publish its pricing. Buyer reports (Vendr, Factors.ai, UpLead) put entry contracts around $14,995 a year for about 3 seats, and Vendr purchase data shows the median actual payment near $33,500 a year once add-ons are counted. Compare that with our pricing page, where every number is listed.
Can I try Datacrecy without a credit card?+
Yes. The free plan includes 100 credits every month, full search and filters, and exports. Reveal real contacts before your card ever enters the picture.
Where does Datacrecy's data come from?+
Public professional records and public sources, enriched and validated in-house. The full methodology, including opt-out handling, is on our Data Sources page.
Is the data compliant?+
We honor opt-out and do-not-sell requests through self-serve pages, and every listed contact record is validated before it appears. Read the specifics on the Data Sources page and make your own call for your jurisdiction.
