Built for this. Connects thousands of apps and now runs agents across them. The integration count is the moat — an agent is only as useful as what it can touch.

Watch out: Free tier caps task volume quickly. Debugging a broken multi-step automation is genuinely tedious.

Strong fit. Contact data, sequences and call recording in one place, so research and outreach do not live in separate tools.

Watch out: Contact data is never as accurate as the counter suggests, and the AI writes on top of whatever it found. Every plan is metered in credits, so what you pay tracks how much you export rather than how many people log in.

Strong fit. A spreadsheet where each row can call data providers and models, which makes research that used to take a week into an afternoon.

Watch out: Credits, not seats, so the bill tracks how much you run rather than how many people use it. The paid rates are starting points that the action and data-credit selectors push upward.

Launch
$185/mo · $167/mo yearly
starts at 15,000 actions and 2,500 data credits a month, adding phone enrichment, unlimited search with Audiences, job-change and other signals, reusable functions across workflows and sending through Clay or an integration

starts at 40,000 actions and 6,000 data credits a month, adding CRM and data-warehouse sync, a 250,000-record audience import, the HTTP API, webhooks off any signal, web intent signals and priority support
Enterprise
Custom
adds unlimited search and imports, single sign-on, role-based access control and a dedicated growth strategist. Both paid tiers carry action and data-credit selectors that raise the price above the starting rate, so those figures are floors rather than fixed prices
Two things separate these and both are on every card.
Fit
Whether a tool is built for this job, a strong fit for it, or
able to do it without that being its focus.
Free plan
Whether there is a tier you can keep using rather than a
trial that expires.
The order
Fit first, then a free plan, then alphabetical. There is
no score, no weighting we decline to publish, and nothing on this site a company can buy.
Questions
What is the best ai for sales prospecting?
There is no single answer, which is why this page lists 6 rather than one: Copy.ai, Perplexity, ChatGPT, Zapier, Apollo, Clay. 3 of them are built for this kind of work rather than able to do it. Start with a free one.
Which of these have a free plan?
6 of the 6: Copy.ai, Perplexity, ChatGPT, Zapier, Apollo, Clay. Free means a real free tier you can keep using, not a trial that expires.
How was this list chosen?
By hand, from the 750 products this site tracks, and it is checked against the catalogue on every build — a product renamed or removed breaks the build rather than quietly disappearing from here. Nothing on this site can be paid for: no listing, no position, no wording.
