ContactOut Reviews

“Easy decision-maker contact discovery

Pros

Finding companies and direct decision-makers' emails and phone numbers is really simple with this tool. It's feasible to implement and start using, logging in directly through connected platforms like Gmail, my LinkedIn account and Sales Navigator makes frequent use convenient. I also appreciate the excellent customer support and the tool includes a wide range of features that provide real benefit for my outreach and prospecting workflows. I've relied on it often and it has become a regular part of my daily workflow.

Cons

Sometimes it struggles under heavy load when trying to generate and verify the correct email addresses and phone numbers especially after I connect it to platforms like Sales Navigator. That delay or occasional inaccuracy can be frustrating when I'm depending on it to build contact lists quickly.

“feasible LinkedIn integration results

Pros

As a recruiter I find it plugs into LinkedIn easily, runs quickly and gives reliable results and it's really feasible to navigate. When I'm sourcing potential candidates on LinkedIn it typically returns the correct email address, phone number or both. I also like that the pricing is very affordable and there are free tiers available too.

Cons

I'm genuinely impressed with the tool and haven't found any problems or dislikes to report so far.

“accurate contact data discovery

Pros

I really appreciate this tool because it's consistently accurate at locating personal contact details for professionals and it saves me a significant amount of time when I'm recruiting or reaching out for business opportunities.

Cons

However a drawback I've noticed is that certain profiles sometimes lack any contact details which can be frustrating when I'm relying on the tool to provide complete information.

“Reliable daily recruiting tool

Pros

As a recruiter I find this tool extremely helpful for daily hiring tasks and would strongly recommend it to other recruiters. It's feasible to navigate and the fact that we can try it for free is a real bonus.

Cons

Haven't found any issues so far. I'm very comfortable using this platform and currently don't have any complaints or dislikes about it.

“very few free points and overpriced

Pros

What I like most about this tool is that it shows me the person's e-mail address so I can reach out to them directly without having to search elsewhere.

Cons

I find it only gives a very small number of free points, feels overpriced and every so often the phone numbers it returns are incorrect.

“one-click verified contact retrieval

Pros

Personally I find this app to be the most efficient and easiest way to pull verified users' valid email addresses and phone numbers with just one click and it's extremely user-friendly in practice.

Cons

One downside I noticed is that although there is a free tier that covers basic functions, a number of the more powerful tools and capabilities are gated behind paid plans and I ran into limits on searches and access to contact details.

“executive contact lookup capability

Pros

What's awesome is that when I type the name of just about any senior executive at most big companies, I can pull up their contact details, usually their job title, email address and phone number. Honestly being able to access that level of information so easily feels way more than impressive!

Cons

Not every contact includes a phone number which is a downside, however, I find emailing executives tends to be much more effective than trying to call them.

“inconsistent email finding performance

Pros

Honestly nothing about this product impressed me. We paid $1,000 and ended up with nothing to show for it.

Cons

It was supposed to do one thing, find emails but it's not locating them for us so it's essentially useless.

“Accurate data with clean interface

Pros

it delivers very accurate data and has a clean, user-friendly interface that I actually enjoy using.

Cons

For me it's a bit pricier compared to some Indian tool-finders like EasyLeadz which makes me hesitate a little.

“Bulk email and phone extraction tool

Pros

For me this tool made it easy to pull multiple email addresses at once, personal and work emails together and it even captures mobile numbers during the same extraction. I find this B2B lead-generation platform feasible to use, with a range of integrations and it's genuinely useful for sales and marketing teams looking to expand their outreach and grow their client base.

Cons

I'm disappointed that the tool doesn't pull business-related information alongside personal contacts, details like company addresses, revenue figures and business phone numbers are missing. That limitation is frustrating for me because I expected a fuller company data profile rather than just personal contact details.

“Domain search with detailed lead data

Pros

When I type a company's domain into the site, the tool returns a batch of leads. What I really like is that it pulls the exact email address tied to the person I searched for, shows their name and lists their title and role within the company. That set of features is what I value most about it.

Cons

Occasionally I get no results when I search for someone's email and that's the main issue I've run into. I also only receive a small amount of free email credits and the single-search feature feels limited and not very effective.

“accurate emails with LinkedIn integration

Pros

This tool consistently delivers highly accurate email results and I find the LinkedIn integration makes prospect outreach far more effective.

Cons

Find Phone feature is pointless since I don't use phone outreach at all.

“Simple contact discovery interface

Pros

interface is user-friendly and I find basic tasks like locating email addresses or phone numbers feasible to complete.

Cons

For me it would be nicer if free-tier users had a way to refresh or renew their credits so I wouldn't run into limits as often.

“LinkedIn email campaigns and outreach

Pros

Accessing it directly inside LinkedIn feels fast and I find the built-in email campaign features helpful for managing broad outreaches and follow-ups.

Cons

Every so often the contact emails I find are inaccurate, outdated or simply missing. Aside from that hiccup I enjoy using this tool and I'm genuinely excited to keep exploring and adopting the new features they roll out.

“chrome extension for contact search

Pros

Email addresses and other contact details are easy to locate and I find the Chrome extension simple while performing thorough searches.

Cons

The Chrome extension can feel a bit sluggish and I often have to click through several screens before I can see the complete contact details.

“easy signup for contact discovery

Pros

Signing up was feasible and I find it extremely simple to use for both personal and business contact discovery.

Cons

Occasionally the tool fails to work properly. While I'm checking, it can display an email address and phone number but when I click to view the mail an error appears and no contact details are shown. Other than that I haven't noticed any disadvantages with the tool.

“CSV export for lead management

Pros

Exporting leads as .csv is effortless and I find this capability helpful for managing larger outreach campaigns.

Cons

The inability to import .csv files is something I find annoying

“Reliable extension on slow connections

Pros

The browser extension runs smoothly even on slow connections and I find it retrieves contact details that other tools often miss.

Cons

One annoyance I've had is that the extension sometimes logs me out by itself which is a bit frustrating and there are occasions when the data I'm looking for isn't available though that's true of most similar tools. I used the free tier for a while so running low on credits was another limitation I dealt with but that's not a major complaint.

“Workflow acceleration and productivity boost

Pros

Task completion is much faster with this tool and I find it indispensable for maintaining workflow and driving business growth.

Cons

I can't come up with any issues at the moment.

“Organized projects with Chrome widget

Pros

keeping projects organized is feasible and I find the Chrome widget accelerates tracking and progress monitoring.

Cons

main thing I'd change is having credits refunded automatically when there's no verifiable information. I've had it show a verified email and then later backtrack but I'm still billed a credit for the incorrect result. I'd really appreciate better handling of those failed lookups so I don't lose credits.

“Quick email and phone retrieval

Pros

Pulling up emails or mobile numbers is simple and I find this functionality makes outreach much more efficient.

Cons

The accuracy isn't great at the moment, I would really appreciate them improving the correctness of phone numbers and email addresses especially when it comes to personal contact details.

“accurate search with simple interface

Pros

search feature stands out and I find the interface extremely feasible while reliably providing accurate email addresses.

Cons

Honestly there isn't much I dislike about this tool. After trying other similar services I noticed their search databases aren't as comprehensive as some competitors and while the tool does a good job finding email addresses, it falls short when it comes to locating phone numbers reliably.

“Reliable contact tracking results

Pros

Tracking anyone's contact info is simple and I find it accurate, reliable and consistent in delivering results.

Cons

Usually I receive outdated information about an individual. What bothers me the most is that the leads aren't verified or reliably accurate and as a result they typically turn into obsolete contacts that I can't use.

“Multi-email congreatation feature

Pros

Congreatating all emails linked to a person is convenient and I find this saves significant time while reaching both work and personal addresses.

Cons

Using the service directly on its website has proven pretty difficult unless I connect it to my personal LinkedIn profile. In my early experience there were constant problems pulling up contacts until I finally linked my account to LinkedIn and things started to work. I really hope the developers enhance the site so it can operate more independently without forcing a LinkedIn connection anymore.

“Fast LinkedIn-integrated contact search

Pros

Speed and accuracy are impressive and I find the tool integrates effortlessly with my LinkedIn account.

Cons

Sometimes I run into profiles that have no contact details at all and other times the contact information provided is outdated.

“consistently accurate outreach data

Pros

Email accuracy is consistently high and I find the results dependable for professional outreach.

Cons

Honestly there's nothing about the product that I dislike.

“Unreliable results when data missing

Pros

Single-click access to contact details is convenient and I find it makes connecting with prospects fast and easy.

Cons

When it fails I'm left stranded since the phonebook can't be relied on.

“precise email and phone lookup

Pros

I can reliably pull the exact email address for someone, whether it's a company domain or a personal address. Every so often it even turns up a person's phone number which is really handy for my outreach and overall marketing efforts.

Cons

While I like its results the free tier only provides a small number of email credits and after those are used I have to purchase the software. It also takes a long time to load on LinkedIn and occasionally returns incorrect emails so I've had to link it with other tools to improve accuracy and performance.

“Hidden LinkedIn email discovery

Pros

One thing I really appreciate about this tool is that it can uncover LinkedIn users' email addresses when you can't find their contact details by hand because the email isn't listed publicly on their profile.

Cons

I have a real issue with the way the extension sometimes behaves, it will indicate a LinkedIn account has an email but when I tap the Show button it flips to 'Email Unavailable' and frustratingly, I still lose one of my search credits from the plan. This inconsistent behavior wastes credits and makes me cautious about running searches.

“best enrichment tool with free credits

Pros

After testing many tools I consider this the best lead-enrichment platform with useful free credits.

Cons

While using it I noticed portions of the tool's database contain outdated records which caused many emails to bounce during my campaigns. Also I can't pull bulk data through an automated process, I have to step in manually to complete that task each time.

“Strong contact discovery with free tier

Pros

From my experience I value its strong contact discovery and I appreciate the generous free tier.

Cons

My biggest issue is around data quality, too many of the leads aren't verified or reliably accurate and more often than not the contact information ends up being outdated. I genuinely think the team could invest more in validation and regular updates so users like me can consistently get current, dependable details for outreach and follow-up.

“Highly accurate daily recruiting tool

Pros

After trying alternatives I find this tool highly accurate and I depend on it daily for recruiting.

Cons

Every so often I do find an outdated email address but from my experience it still provides correct information far more often than not.

“reliable long-term contact discovery

Pros

Over years of usage I rely on it for contact discovery and I see consistent success rates.

Cons

I'm convinced the tool could include simpler, more direct automation. While I know there's an option to bulk-fetch email addresses, the current approach isn't simple and still requires some hands-on work making the bulk retrieval process confusing and more manual than necessary in practice.

“Extensive contact data with responsive support

Pros

With LinkedIn sourcing I find this platform most effective and I store most contacts here.

Cons

Honestly I don't have any real complaints. There's a ton of contact information here and I wholeheartedly recommend it. I can't think of anything I dislike about the app. If something ever bothered me, I'm confident their team would handle it personally, they seem genuinely attentive and quick to respond which makes me feel supported whenever I reach out. Overall I have no dislikes to report and whenever I've contacted the tool's staff they've been very respectful and friendly.

“easy recruiting with large database

Pros

I find it easy to use and I benefit from its large database for daily recruiting.

Cons

For me there's absolutely nothing to dislike about this tool, it simply works the way I need it to.

“LinkedIn integration for direct contacts

Pros

Through LinkedIn integration, I pull direct contacts and I find it very helpful.

Cons

That said a few of the contacts I found ended up not being available.

“simple and reliable usability

Pros

For usability I find it feasible and I trust its reliability.

Cons

Occasionally the emails or phone numbers the service provides are inaccurate which can be annoying for me.

“Fast searches with convenient results

Pros

With quick searches I retrieve information fast and I appreciate its convenience.

Cons

I didn't go through the process myself but based on what I dug up, it feels alarmingly easy to either remove or retain your personal details in the system. Under certain circumstances that looseness could lead to significant problems down the line.

“outdated data and slow removal process

Pros

Regarding privacy I like the opt-out form and I find it simple but that's all.

Cons

What really bothers me is that they publish and sell outdated and therefore inaccurate, information taken from LinkedIn profiles without getting consent so the records could have been correct under different circumstances. I also find it really disappointing that it can take them up to thirty days to delete incorrect data and they only do so after a single opt-out, once someone discovers their information has been misused.

“Chrome extension for email discovery

Pros

As a Chrome extension I discover emails frequently and I coordinate projects easily

Cons

We don't have any major complaints, it's worked really well for our recruiting team and has been a strong fit for our org.

“accurate lead generation and conversions

Pros

For lead generation I obtain accurate contact details and I convert prospects efficiently

Cons

Occasionally the contact info isn't entirely accurate but in most cases I can spot the issue quickly, for instance when someone no longer appears to work at the company.

“Quick phone number discovery

Pros

When I need Numbers it generally finds them quickly and works 99% of the time.

Cons

it doesn't always include every single number I look for but I really can't complain.

“Easy setup with Google Sheets integration

Pros

Getting started with this tool was fast and feasible. I was able to integrate the extension into our main application. I also appreciate how easy it is for me to create targeted lead lists inside Google Sheets.

Cons

great tool but in my opinion it's primarily handy only for pulling email addresses from LinkedIn profiles which makes it a rather limited capability.

“simple platform with broad reach

Pros

For me the platform is really feasible to use and it attracts a large number of people.

Cons

I often have to reload the page repeatedly while I'm using it which can be pretty frustrating.

“Accurate LinkedIn contacts for outreach

Pros

For outreach, I find this tool very helpful and I get accurate LinkedIn contacts easily

Cons

Honestly I can't think of any real drawbacks. Everything about the interface is feasible and simple to use and I genuinely value the variety of contact options the tool typically returns which makes reaching people much less of a hassle for me.

“Focused email search features

Pros

When searching emails I prefer this platform and I like its focused features

Cons

At one time, my subscription experienced a hiccup that temporarily blocked my access to the account but their support team responded professionally and resolved the situation for me within a matter of hours.

“clean design with one-click copy

Pros

I appreciate the clean design and I use the one-click copy feature often for simplicity.

Cons

Occasionally long emails get truncated which I find annoying. Also when I pull information from LinkedIn, the tool tends to import every title and degree that someone lists beside their name.

“user-friendly communication tool

Pros

During communication I reach people easily and I enjoy the user-friendly interface

Cons

One downside I've run into is the limited number of credits available each month.

“Convenient Chrome extension usage

Pros

While working in Chrome I use the extension frequently and I find it convenient

Cons

I'd love for it to support direct imports into our ATS (Lever) because it currently doesn't.

“Lags when typing work email usernames

Pros

I locate contact data fast and I trust its reliability.

Cons

there is a lag whenever I type in work email usernames which slows me down.
