🚀 I built a $49/mo alternative to Apollo and ZoomInfo —
here's whyI kept running into the same problem: B2B lead databases charge $5K-$15 and stll give you a 20% + bounce rates so I built Leaddrop
What it does:
Search for B2B contacts by job title, industry, company, or location
Every email gets verified before you see it (MX validation + pattern matching)
Each lead gets a confidence score (62-96%) so you know what you're working with
Export to CSV, ready for outreach
What makes it different:
$49/mo flat. No annual contracts, no enterprise sales calls
Transparent pricing on the site — no "contact us for a quote"
Built for small teams and solo founders, not Fortune 500 sales floors
I'm using it myself to run cold outreach for the product (eating my own dog food). Early results: 10 prospects contacted, all emails SMTP-validated, 88-100 confidence scores.
Still early days — would genuinely love feedback from this community. What would make you switch from whatever you're using now?

great
A $49/mo B2B lead generation tool with verified emails and confidence scoring is a strong, cost-effective alternative for startups tired of expensive platforms with high bounce rates. If data accuracy stays consistent and integrations improve, it has real potential to disrupt traditional tools like Apollo.io and ZoomInfo.
The pricing transparency is the right call for this ICP. Solo founders doing outreach don't have a budget approval process - they're swiping their own card. "Contact us for a quote" kills momentum before they even see the product.
The confidence score feature is worth leaning into harder in your messaging. Most prospecting tools give you a list and leave you to figure out email validity yourself. Showing 88-100 confidence upfront changes the trust dynamic completely.
What's your current filtering granularity? Curious if you can target by things like funding stage or tech stack, or is it primarily company size + job title right now.
Nice launch 👏
If you ever need a ready-made SaaS landing + dashboard to speed things up, I built something that could help.
Happy to share it 🙌
