# ZoomInfo

> An enterprise B2B contact and company database with intent signals, sold by quote only.

ZoomInfo sells access to contact and company profiles, direct emails and phone numbers, firmographics and buyer-intent data. Sales packages are ZoomInfo Professional, Copilot Advanced and Copilot Enterprise; higher tiers add account scoring, intent, website visitor tracking, job-change tracking and AI summaries. Separate marketing packages add intent topics and ad audiences. No prices are published: cost depends on features, number of licences and credits. Each export of a contact or company uses one credit.

## Capabilities

| Capability | Fit | Plans | Limitations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Find verified contact data (emails, phones) (`contact-data`) | native | all | Exports consume credits; Coverage outside North America is generally thinner (editorial view); Cost puts it out of reach for very small teams |
| Research prospects and accounts (`prospect-research`) | native | all | Intent and scoring need Copilot Advanced or Enterprise |
| Automate simple app-to-app workflows (`workflow-automation`) | partial | copilot-advanced, copilot-enterprise | Scoped to ZoomInfo data and connected CRMs |
| Send sales email sequences (`email-sequences`) | partial | all | Sequencing depth not confirmed this session; many teams pair ZoomInfo with a separate sequencing tool |

## Why people pay for it

- Broad, maintained coverage of direct dials and business emails, especially in North America.
- Buyer-intent and website-visitor signals to prioritise accounts.
- CRM enrichment that keeps records current as people change jobs.
- Org charts and firmographics for account planning.
- Enterprise integrations, admin controls and support.

## Reasons to keep paying

- Maintained, verified contact data (especially direct dials) at scale; an AI assistant cannot reliably produce real, current phone numbers and emails.
- Intent data built from large-scale signal collection that small teams cannot gather themselves.
- Automated CRM enrichment and job-change tracking that keep a large database from decaying.

## Risks

- **compliance** (high): Contact data is personal data under GDPR; outreach must also follow CAN-SPAM, PECR, TCPA (for calls/texts) and similar rules.
- **vendor_lock_in** (medium): Quote-based, typically contracted pricing makes mid-term cancellation or downgrades hard to plan for.
- **functionality_loss** (medium): Cheaper databases may have lower direct-dial coverage and no intent data.

Data portability: moderate — Exported and CRM-synced records stay in your systems, but each export uses a credit and use of ZoomInfo data is governed by its licence terms. Intent and scoring history does not export in a reusable form.
