What does RocketReach include at each level?

RocketReach sells three plans. Essentials covers email only. Pro and Ultimate add phone numbers. Each plan is sold monthly or yearly, and the limits differ by billing period.

On monthly billing, lookups are capped: 100 a month on Essentials, 250 on Pro and 1,000 on Ultimate. Yearly plans list unlimited lookups but cap exports, at 1,200 a year on Essentials. Read both limits before you size a plan.

Which alternative is best for phone numbers?

Phones cost more than emails everywhere. Prospeo charges 10 credits for a direct mobile against 1 for an email. Kaspr includes 100 phone credits a month on Starter and sells more from $0.36 each in its smallest add-on pack. Prices checked November 10, 2026.

ContactOut’s free plan gives 5 phone reveals a day. That is enough to test match rates on your own list before you pay.

How does an agent find emails and phones through Locus Pro?

Through Locus Pro, an agent calls several contact providers from one prepaid balance. There is no seat and no provider account. Searching the catalog and reading a price are free.

RocketReach and ContactOut are listed in the catalog by their sellers on an open marketplace. Locus has not reviewed those listings, and they cost far more per call than the reviewed providers above them.

Should a recruiter buy a seat or an agent pay per call?

A recruiter who looks up people all day is better served by a seat. Kaspr and ContactOut both suit LinkedIn work, and their plans include a set number of reveals. RocketReach Essentials has no phones at all, so phone work needs Pro or another tool.

An agent with a short list each week fits per-call billing. It pays only for the lookups it makes, and each call can carry a credit ceiling, so a call priced above it is refused before it runs. At steady, high volume, Hunter lookups can cost less per call with your own Hunter account and API key.

How do I choose a RocketReach alternative?

Decide whether a person or an agent does the lookups.

A recruiter working LinkedIn all day: Kaspr or ContactOut.
Verified emails for outbound, with an API: Prospeo or Hunter.
One flat price per contact, phones included: UpLead.
Building a product on person data: People Data Labs, with a license that fits.
An agent that needs a few hundred lookups from several sources: Locus Pro.
