Overview
LeadIQ is a sales prospecting platform designed to remove the grind from outbound lead generation. Its main focus is on helping sales reps identify prospects, capture verified contact information (emails, mobile numbers, company data), and seamlessly sync that data to CRMs and sales engagement platforms. Its most unique angle is the one-click capture from LinkedIn and Sales Navigator, combined with AI-assisted outreach personalization through a feature called Scribe.
At its heart, LeadIQ isn’t trying to be a massive, all-encompassing database like ZoomInfo or a full-fledged sales engagement platform like Outreach or Salesloft. Instead, it focuses on the daily workflow of SDRs and AEs—finding leads, verifying them quickly, and getting them into a cadence or CRM without wasting time copying and pasting. It’s a “speed tool” designed for salespeople who want to move fast and spend more time on conversations and less on admin work.
The AI layer sits on top of that foundation. Scribe isn’t a chatbot; it’s an email-writing assistant that analyzes prospect and company data, then generates personalized first-touch emails. Combined with job change alerts and trigger tracking, it helps reps hit the right person at the right time with a relevant message.
Who Is It For
LeadIQ is most valuable for outbound-focused teams who care about speed, accuracy, and context in prospecting.
- SDRs and BDRs: The platform feels like it was built with SDRs in mind. It eliminates the repetitive “find profile → copy email → paste into CRM” loop.
- Account Executives: For AEs running their own outbound to senior decision-makers, LeadIQ is excellent for quickly building targeted lists and ensuring the first-touch messaging feels personalized.
- Sales Managers and Ops: Managers benefit from its data cleanliness and CRM enrichment features, while Ops teams like its ability to integrate into existing workflows without heavy customization.
- Small to Mid-Sized Teams: LeadIQ hits a sweet spot for 5–100 user teams. It’s not as expensive or complex as enterprise tools but still provides robust integrations and workflows.
- Industries with Moving Targets: SaaS, tech, finance, consulting—where job changes and role transitions can trigger buying cycles. The job change alerts are a killer feature here.
LeadIQ fits especially well in organizations where LinkedIn Sales Navigator is central to prospecting. If your team’s outbound strategy is heavily LinkedIn-driven, this tool plugs in almost seamlessly. On the other hand, if you rely more on massive static databases or inbound, you won’t get the same value.
Use Cases
Daily list building at scale
Capture 20–100 prospects from a Sales Nav search, verify, and push to sequences in minutes.
Trigger-based re-engagement
Get alerts when past prospects change companies/roles and re-approach with relevant context.
ABM buying-committee coverage
Build multi-stakeholder lists per account (economic buyer, influencers, power users) and personalize intros per role.
CRM cleanup/enrichment
Refresh stale records (emails, titles, company) as part of everyday prospecting—no separate project required.
New-rep ramp
Hand rookies a simple capture-to-sequence path; they’ll book meetings before they memorize your product’s 47 acronyms.
Territory/segment tests
Spin up new vertical/outbound hypotheses fast without begging for a new data subscription.
Mid-cycle pipeline refresh
Prospect into open opportunities with updated contacts and job-change momentum.
Standout Features
The crown jewel is the Chrome extension: highlight a profile or a list in Sales Navigator, and—click—you’ve captured verified contact data plus company context and pushed it where it belongs. Scribe AI sits right beside that flow: it ingests the profile/company signals you’re already viewing and drafts a relevance-anchored opener in your tone (you provide the vibe; it provides the velocity). Trigger tracking quietly watches your saved leads for job moves and promotions, pinging you when timing flips from “cold” to “gold.” CRM enrichment updates stale records without making you moonlight as RevOps. And shared lists/tags keep SDR↔AE handoffs sane so two people don’t pitch the same buyer like divorced parents showing up to the same recital.
The real magic here isn’t one single feature but the workflow. LeadIQ removes multiple micro-frictions from prospecting. Every second saved on manual research or copy-pasting compounds across hundreds of leads per week, freeing reps to actually sell.
PROS
- One-click capture from LinkedIn and Sales Navigator is a massive time-saver.
- Verified email addresses and direct dials reduce bounce rates and wasted dials.
- AI-powered Scribe helps write personalized first-touch emails quickly.
- Integrates tightly with Salesforce, HubSpot, Outreach, Salesloft, Gong, and other core sales platforms.
- Job-change and trigger alerts give you perfect timing for outreach.
- Generous free tier for individuals or testing.
- Clean, intuitive workflow that doesn’t require weeks of onboarding.
CONS
- Database size is smaller than ZoomInfo or Apollo; less coverage, especially for niche industries or international markets.
- Direct dials can be inconsistent; if phone-first is your motion, you’ll still need another provider.
- Interface can feel dated and occasionally laggy with large lists.
- No sequencing or campaign tools built in; you’ll need an engagement platform for follow-ups.
- CRM sync can create duplicates if mapping isn’t carefully set.
- AI capabilities are limited to email personalization; it’s not a full AI sales assistant.
What We Liked
LeadIQ nails the balance between simplicity and power. It doesn’t try to do everything; it focuses on what slows reps down the most and fixes it. The LinkedIn integration is lightning fast and feels natural—no steep learning curve, no clunky process. Scribe AI is better than expected for a built-in email assistant; while it’s not as advanced as dedicated AI copy tools, it’s good enough to save reps hours per week.
We also loved the trigger alerts. Catching someone in their first 90 days in a new role is sales gold, and LeadIQ surfaces that without needing a separate tool. The overall vibe is: “built by people who actually carried a quota.”
What We Didn’t Like
LeadIQ’s biggest weakness is its data consistency. When it works, it’s beautiful. When it doesn’t, you’ll find yourself cross-referencing other tools to fill gaps. Phone numbers are the Achilles heel; mobile coverage is improving but still lags behind premium data providers.
The UI, while functional, isn’t as polished as newer competitors. It can lag with large list processing, and filters sometimes feel basic compared to power-user tools. Finally, the lack of sequencing means it’s not a one-stop shop—you’ll need Outreach, Salesloft, or similar to run full campaigns.
LeadIQ is best as a complementary tool, not your only sales stack piece. Pair it with a sequencing platform and, if needed, a second data provider, and you get a powerful, efficient workflow.
Pricing
LeadIQ uses a per-user, tiered pricing model:
- Free Plan: ~50 verified emails/month, small set of mobile credits. Ideal for testing or individuals.
- Essential: Around $35–$45 per user/month. Great for small teams; includes ~1,000 verified emails and basic phone data.
- Pro: Around $75–$80 per user/month. Adds more credits (~2,000 emails, more mobile numbers) and advanced integrations.
- Enterprise: Custom pricing. Unlocks unlimited credits, admin controls, and API access for large teams.
Annual contracts get a discount, and the free plan is one of the better entry points in this category. The main pricing watch-out is mobile number credits; if your motion is heavily phone-based, you may burn through them quickly.
