ZoomInfo alternatives
Updated October 31, 2026 · By the FreshLeads.cc team
ZoomInfo has the most complete US B2B database, with org charts, intent data and integrations for large sales teams. Its contracts are annual and priced for large teams, so many small and mid-size companies look for another tool. The right alternative depends on what you used ZoomInfo for.
| You need | Try |
|---|---|
| A database with a free or monthly plan | Apollo |
| European data and checked mobile numbers | Cognism |
| Company data and financials | D&B Hoovers |
| Contacts from a browser extension | Lusha |
| Custom lists from many sources | Clay |
| Job titles and job changes | LinkedIn Sales Navigator |
| Startup and funding data | Crunchbase |
| New businesses, before other sellers find them | FreshLeads.cc |
1. Apollo.io
The most common switch. A large database plus sequences, with a free plan and monthly paid plans. Data is less complete than ZoomInfo for large US companies, but enough for most small teams. See Apollo alternatives too.
2. Cognism
Strong in Europe, with phone numbers checked by people and a GDPR focus. The best switch for teams that sell outside the US.
3. D&B Hoovers
Dun & Bradstreet company data: hierarchies, financials and industry codes. Good for account planning and finance-led sales.
4. Lusha
A simple browser extension for emails and phones, with a free plan. Good for single sellers.
5. Clay
Combines many data providers and AI research in one table. Can match ZoomInfo's coverage for a specific list, with more setup.
6. LinkedIn Sales Navigator
The best source for current job titles and job changes. No emails: pair it with Hunter or Lusha.
7. Crunchbase
Startups, funding rounds and investors. Good when you sell to funded startups.
8. FreshLeads.cc (our tool)
