Instant Lookups: Speed Matters

Previously, every search required a deep search that browsed multiple sources across the web. While thorough, this could take time. Instant lookups change the game by giving you direct database access for immediate results. Current public plans emphasize cited discovery actions for source-backed prospect discovery and enrichment.

How Instant Lookups Work:

Search Your Database

Search our huge internal database with criteria like industry, location, company size, and keywords. Each search deducts lookups from your monthly pool and returns results based on your plan.

Get Verified Contact Data

Results include verified emails, phone numbers, and LinkedIn profiles for decision makers. All data is instantly accessible for outreach or CRM import.

Maximum Lookup Capacity by Plan:

Starter150 cited discovery actions/month plus saved company and contact capacity
Growth250 cited discovery actions/month plus larger monitored prospect coverage
Pro500 cited discovery actions/month, daily intelligence, and 30 daily-priority monitored prospects

Note: These are theoretical maximums if you use full result sets for every search. Actual usage varies based on search criteria and your specific prospecting needs.
