Overall
ZoomInfo
If you have a large sales org or are planning on growing your sales team to double-digit numbers, Zoominfo is probably the right data provider for you. Keep in mind, you'll have to commit to a hefty contract, meaning Zoominfo really only makes sense if you plan on sending a high volume of emails on a weekly basis. If you don't expect your reps to email in high volumes, you might want to look at a cheaper option.
Lusha
If you don't want to sign a contract with Zoominfo, Lusha might be a good option for you. While it does not include a robust set a extra features or functionality, it does an incredibly good job of sourcing phone numbers and emails. Keep in mind, you will still need a sequencing tool to send emails, like Outreach or Salesloft. If Lusha's pricing is too pricey, explore Seamless.ai or Apollo.io.
