In simple English
Commercial lead-finding tools charge a heavy fee for every contact they sell. This software lets you connect your own provider accounts directly. You pay the wholesale price for emails and phone numbers instead of paying a middleman. The program tests multiple services in order until it finds valid contact details. You keep your data in your own database and avoid paying twice for people you already checked.
What it is
An open-source program that runs lead generation and contact enrichment waterfalls using your own API keys. It stores records in a local SQLite database and provides a web interface built with React.
What it is good for
Solo founders and sales teams who need to find thousands of B2B contacts each month and want to cut their data costs by skipping third-party SaaS markups.
- Significantly lowers the cost per verified email compared to commercial platforms.
- Keeps all your lead data in your own private database.
- Lets you rearrange the order of data providers to match your preferred services and budget.
- Requires you to set up and manage your own API keys for multiple external data vendors.
- Only makes financial sense if you process more than roughly eight hundred leads per month.
- Does not send emails or manage outreach campaigns itself.
