At a glance
BetterContact is a waterfall enrichment platform that looks up emails and mobile numbers by querying more than 20 data providers in turn until it finds a result. Its routing decides which providers to try first, and every result is validated before it is returned, with emails checked for deliverability and mobiles checked with carrier lookups. It also includes a Lead Finder for building lists from several databases at once.

Who BetterContact is best for
Small outbound teams and agencies that want waterfall coverage without building it themselves in Clay. Choose it when a single provider's hit rate is too low, especially for mobile numbers.
Key features
- Waterfall enrichment across 20+ providers
- Waterfall Lead Finder for list building
- Email and mobile validation, including catch-all checks on Pro
- Connect Intelligence scoring for phone numbers
- 28 native integrations plus REST API, including Clay, HubSpot and Zapier
- Credit rollover up to twice your plan
Why it’s worth it
You get the higher hit rate of multiple providers for one subscription, and you are only charged for valid data, which keeps cost per usable contact down.
Things to consider
- Mobile numbers cost roughly ten times as many credits as emails
- Some features, such as catch-all verification and Clay integration, require the Pro plan
- Results depend on the underlying providers, so coverage for Australian mobiles can vary

FAQ
BetterContact: common questions
What is waterfall enrichment?
Waterfall enrichment checks one data provider, and if it has no result, moves to the next until a verified email or phone number is found. BetterContact does this across more than 20 providers automatically.
How much does BetterContact cost?
Plans start at US$15 a month for 200 credits, with Pro from US$49 a month for 1,000 credits, and a free trial of 50 credits with no card required.
BetterContact vs Clay?
Clay is a flexible workspace for building any enrichment workflow but takes time to learn. BetterContact does one job, waterfall enrichment for emails and phones, with much less setup and a lower entry price.
