Perfect for finding new prospects in specific industries and locations. Whether you're targeting restaurants, dentists, real estate agents, or any other business type, our tool helps you build targeted prospect lists quickly.

💰 How Credits Work

Lead generation uses a simple credit-based system:

  • • 1 credit = 1 lead - Simple, transparent pricing
  • • Credits deducted upfront - Based on your requested lead count
  • • Automatic refunds - Unused credits returned if fewer leads found
  • • No expiration - Credits never expire
  • • Check balance anytime - View in Dashboard → Credits
