Prospeo

Operator's take

The dirty secret of outreach is that most of the time you already know who you want to talk to — you just can't find a working email for them. Bouncing a cold campaign doesn't just waste the send; it chips away at your domain's sender reputation every time. Prospeo's core bet is that the verification step should happen before the email goes into your list, not after your deliverability score tanks.

The workflow starts with search: you give Prospeo a name plus company, a domain, or a batch of domains via CSV, and it returns verified emails and mobile numbers backed by a claimed 98% data-accuracy rate. The Chrome extension pulls contact data while browsing LinkedIn or any website — useful if you're doing high-touch prospect research one company at a time rather than bulk list building. For a sales rep or recruiter who's already in a tab-switching rhythm anyway, that's a meaningful friction reduction.

Prospeo has grown well past a single-trick email finder. The current platform includes AI-powered search, intent signals (intent topics, tech-stack filters), mobile-number discovery, company data, and — on Growth and Pro plans — native HubSpot and Salesforce sync so enriched contacts flow straight into sequences. Where it still trails Apollo.io is in built-in sequencing and full sales engagement tooling; if you want outreach automation in the same product, Apollo covers more ground. Prospeo wins when you want clean, verified contact data at a fair per-credit price and you'll handle sequencing in tools you already use.

What it's good at

• Email and mobile number discovery — find verified work emails and direct mobile numbers by name, company, or domain; site claims a 98% data-accuracy rate.
• Built-in verification — confirms email deliverability before you ever add the contact to your list, protecting sender reputation from bounces.
• Chrome extension on LinkedIn and any website — surfaces emails, mobiles, and company data while browsing without switching tabs, good for high-touch prospect research.
• AI-powered search with intent filters — build targeted lists using intent topics, tech-stack, job-posting, revenue, funding, and website-traffic filters; AI Lookalikes finds similar companies to your best accounts.
• CRM sync on higher plans — Growth and Pro include native HubSpot and Salesforce integration so enriched contacts flow straight into your sequences without manual CSV steps.
• CSV export and integrations — one-click download plus connections to Clay, Zapier, Outreach, and Lemlist on all paid plans; no proprietary lock-in on output.

What it's not

• Not a sales engagement platform — no built-in sequencing or outreach automation; if you need the full prospecting-to-send loop in one product, Apollo.io covers more ground.
• Built for B2B work emails, not personal inboxes — the product is framed entirely around work-email and professional-contact discovery ("Find work emails," "professional email addresses"); no public mention of personal-inbox lookups.
• CRM sync is a paid-tier feature — HubSpot and Salesforce integration requires Growth ($74/mo yearly) or Pro ($187/mo yearly); Starter and Free users are still on find → export → import.
• Free plan is a taste, not a workflow — 100 credits/month is enough to validate data quality, not to run campaigns; paid plans start at $37/mo (yearly) for 2,000 credits/month, and costs climb with volume on large outbound lists.
