RocketReach
At a Glance
The finding half of proprietary outreach, priced and metered on its own page. Bring the list; it supplies the person, and cross-check what it returns before you write.
- Pricing
- Subscription, Published on its own pricing page, billed annually: Essentials at $33 a month ($399 a year, email only), Pro at $75 a month ($899 a year, email and phone), Ultimate at $142 a month ($1,699 a year); team plans from $6,000 a year. Monthly billing, from the vendor's own plan endpoint: Essentials $69 for 100 lookups, Pro $119 for 250, Ultimate $209 for 1,000. A free account carries 5 lookups with no card. The unit is defined on the page: a lookup is charged only when it finds and verifies an email or phone, and refunded otherwise. Annual plans call lookups unlimited under a 10,000-a-month cap, and exports are the real annual meter at 1,200, 3,600 and 20,000 by tier.
- Best For
- A searcher who already holds a company list and needs the owner's direct email and mobile number to write and call, especially where a gatekeeper will not put a call through

Pros and Cons
Pros
- Price and unit are both published, with a refund on any lookup that returns nothing verified
- Person-level lookup returning mobile and direct numbers from the Pro tier up, which is the thing searchers ask for when a switchboard will not connect them
- A free account with 5 lookups and no card, and monthly billing with no annual commitment
- Named more often than any other contact tool in Searchfunder threads, by searchers describing their own sourcing stacks
Cons
- It finds a person and cannot build the list, so it presumes a target universe from a state filing or a library database
- Unlimited means lookups only: exports are capped low on the entry tier, and five features draw on the same export meter
- Phone numbers start at the Pro tier, so the entry tier is email only
- Searchers call it pricey and report dead emails they cross-check elsewhere before writing
What Searchers Say
Named by searchers on Searchfunder in their own words: "For contact info I used a combination of RocketReach and freelancers on Upwork to find/scrub"; a searcher describing two closed acquisitions listed it among the minor costs of proprietary sourcing. Another wrote "We have come across Rocketreach but they are very pricey". Another advised to "Use RocketReach and cross-check results with other sources to avoid dead emails." The praise and the complaints are the same tool seen from both sides.
