The main cost factors

  • Targeting depth: broad lists cost less per record than niche specialties or rare technologies.
  • Fields: direct dials, technographics and detailed firmographics add value and cost.
  • Verification: verified data costs more to produce but saves money on bounces and wasted effort.
  • Volume: larger orders usually lower the price per record.
  • Licence terms: usage period and number of users can affect pricing.
  • Custom research: hard-to-find contacts may need manual research.

Cheap data is often expensive

Low-cost lists with high bounce rates damage your sender reputation and waste your team's time. Compare providers on cost per usable contact, not cost per record.

How to get better value

  1. Define your target precisely so you only pay for relevant records.
  2. Test a sample before committing to volume.
  3. Remove existing customers and contacts with a suppression file.
  4. Combine new lists with enrichment of the data you already own.
