SalesIntel
SalesIntel is a B2B sales intelligence platform that combines human-verified contacts — including more than 54 million mobile numbers — with an on-demand research service and buyer-intent data, all under an entirely quote-based pricing model with annual contracts.
A good option if you value human verification of mobile numbers and can commit to an annual contract, but the total absence of public pricing and lack of a monthly plan keep it out of reach for small teams or freelancers.
SalesIntel positions itself as a ZoomInfo alternative with a very specific argument: that its contact data, especially mobile numbers, goes through human verification rather than just scraping algorithms. This review combines the product’s public documentation with verified user reviews on G2 and Trustpilot, since the company doesn’t publish prices through any official channel.
What SalesIntel is and who it’s for
SalesIntel is a B2B sales intelligence platform headquartered in Virginia (US) that offers contacts, buyer-intent data and website visitor identification under one dashboard. Its main differentiator is Human-Verified Contacts: a database of more than 54 million mobile numbers confirmed by people, complemented by Research on Demand, a service in which a team of researchers manually locates a contact not yet in the database. It competes directly with Cognism, UpLead, Lusha and ZoomInfo, and targets mainly mid-sized or large B2B sales and marketing teams operating primarily in the US.
What it’s like to use day to day
The typical workflow combines contact search by filters (job title, industry, company size, location) with enrichment of records already in the CRM. When a needed contact doesn’t appear verified in the database, Research on Demand lets you request manual lookup, with a typical response time of 24-48 hours — an uncommon feature in an industry where almost everyone promises instant reveals. VisitorIntel adds another layer by identifying which companies visit your website and connecting them with already-verified contacts from that same account, useful for turning an anonymous visit into a concrete sales action.
Data quality and the underlying problem: price
User reviews on G2 consistently praise the accuracy of manually verified contacts, especially mobile numbers, a common weak point among most competitors in the category. The problem isn’t the data but access to it: SalesIntel publishes no price figure on its website, and third-party estimates of real contracts vary widely, from around $15,000/year at the lowest tier to over $100,000/year for large deployments. All contracts are annual, with no monthly option, and even the 14-day free trial doesn’t include CRM integrations, limiting the ability to evaluate the product in a real workflow before negotiating.
Real user reviews
SalesIntel holds a rating of 4.4 out of 5 on G2, with 315 reviews. Users consistently highlight support quality and the manually verified data, along with Research on Demand as a differentiating feature versus other B2B databases. Criticism concentrates on pricing opacity and the need to go through a full sales demo before being able to compare cost with other market options.
Pricing and plans
SalesIntel publishes no prices through any official channel: you must request a quote from its sales team. According to third-party estimates based on real contracts reported by customers, an entry-level plan runs around $15,000-24,000/year, mid tiers sit between $48,000 and $72,000/year, and Enterprise deployments can exceed $100,000/year. In all cases payment is annual and upfront; there’s no monthly option or permanent free plan, only a 14-day trial with limited features.
What Trustpilot says: a notable drop from G2
Against G2’s 4.4/5, SalesIntel holds a Trustpilot rating of 2.3 out of 5 (10 reviews), rated “Poor.” The review volume is small compared with G2’s 315, but the complaint pattern is consistent and specific: one reviewer claims about 95% of the contact phone numbers they received were incorrect, disconnected or reached the wrong person; others describe company and job-title data as “sparse, outdated or flat-out wrong,” and several mention aggressive sales tactics, with repeated calls and emails after showing initial interest. It’s worth noting honestly that people with a bad experience are more likely to leave a public review, and with only 10 Trustpilot reviews against 315 on G2, the sample is too small to treat as representative of the overall customer base. Even so, as of this review (September 2026) it’s available, verifiable data, and we include it because it points in the same direction as other industry complaints about the gap between the accuracy promise (SalesIntel claims a 90% guarantee) and some users’ real experience.
2026 product updates: from data provider to agentic platform
In 2026, SalesIntel repositioned its product as what the company itself calls a “Signal-First Agentic Pipeline Generation Platform”: rather than simply selling verified contacts, it adds a signals layer (Signal360, spanning more than 32 categories and 60,000 intent topics) to detect buying-stage accounts, AI agents that research full buying committees and execute initial outreach, and GTMCanvas, a campaign builder triggered by those signals across email, LinkedIn and ads (with the additional launch of AdsIntel for advertising targeted at accounts). It’s an ambitious but still-recent product evolution: best treated as an added layer on top of the existing database, not a replacement for the human verification that remains SalesIntel’s core argument.

What is Research on Demand? It’s a service where a team of researchers manually locates and verifies a contact not available in the database, with a typical response time of 24-48 hours.
Does SalesIntel have a free plan? No. It offers a 14-day free trial, but without CRM integrations available during that period, and there’s no permanent free plan.
What is VisitorIntel? It’s SalesIntel’s feature that identifies which companies visit your website and connects them with already-verified contacts from that same account within the platform.
Why is SalesIntel’s rating so different on G2 versus Trustpilot? On G2 (4.4/5, 315 reviews), reviews focused on the product and daily-use experience predominate; on Trustpilot (2.3/5, 10 reviews), isolated complaints about phone accuracy and sales practices predominate. The Trustpilot sample is small, but the complaint pattern is specific enough to consider before signing an annual contract.
What is Signal360? It’s the buying-signals layer launched by SalesIntel in 2026, combining more than 32 categories and 60,000 intent topics with AI agents to prioritize accounts and automate part of initial prospecting.
