Trying to figure out which lead finder is actually worth it — what am I missing?

Been going down a rabbit hole researching B2B contact tools because I need to start doing outbound and have no idea where to begin.

Most threads I found just recommend Apollo by default. It's fine, the free tier is actually usable, but once you need volume the pricing jumps fast and there are a lot of G2 reviews mentioning accuracy issues outside the US.

Lusha comes up a lot too, mostly for LinkedIn stuff. Seems decent for one-off lookups but not really built if you're sending at any real scale. Credits disappear fast apparently.

Seamless.ai has a ton of marketing behind it but the reviews are all over the place. Enough billing complaints that I'd be nervous.

And then there's Saleshandy's Lead Finder — hadn't heard of it before but it kept popping up in a few threads as a cheaper Apollo alternative. Looks like it has a bigger database and outreach built in, which on paper means one less tool to pay for. Pricing seems lower than Apollo. But it's less established so hard to know how the data actually holds up.

Honestly still not sure what to go with. Feels like every tool has a version of the same problems.

Has anyone here actually used any of these recently? Especially curious if anyone's tried the smaller ones.

Sharing it here, hoping to get some words from people who actually used it.
