--- title: RocketReach review description: Contact-finder and data API for verified emails and phone numbers across 700M+ profiles. canonical: "https://10xgtm.ai/tool/rocketreach" type: review category: "Data enrichment & contact data" availability: active sources: 22 --- # RocketReach review A fast, broad contact lookup tool that earns its keep on individual lookups, and bites you on data decay and a credit meter that runs out mid-campaign. ## The take - **Great for:** Individual SDRs and recruiters who need **fast one-off lookups** across a huge database, especially North American tech contacts. - **The catch:** **Data decays faster than it refreshes.** Reviewers report 20-30% bounce rates and outdated phone numbers, and annual plans cap exports even when lookups are unlimited. - **Bottom line:** Reach for it when the job is **finding people fast at low volume**. For high-volume list building or verified mobile dials, a specialist wins. ## Specs - **Starting price:** ~$27/mo annual (Essentials, email-only); $49/mo monthly - **Free tier:** Yes, 5 lookups/month - **Pricing model:** Per-seat, monthly lookup credits - **Best for:** Individual SDRs and recruiters - **Key integrations:** Salesforce, HubSpot, Outreach, Salesloft, Bullhorn, Zapier - **Watch out for:** Data decay and bounce rates; annual export caps and auto-renewal billing ## What you're actually getting RocketReach is a **contact lookup engine**. Point it at a person or company and it returns verified work and personal emails, and on higher tiers, mobile and direct phone numbers, pulled from a database of 700M+ professionals and 60M companies. The core surfaces are **search, a browser extension, bulk lookups, and an API**. The Chrome, Edge, and Firefox extension pulls contact info straight off LinkedIn, Crunchbase, and company sites without leaving the page. It finds contacts. The outreach is yours to run. RocketReach added Messages and Sequences for basic sending, but most teams still push exports into a separate sequencer. Treat it as **data in, contacts out**. ## Where it earns its keep It earns its keep on **speed and breadth for individual lookups**. Recruiters and SDRs who need to reach one specific decision-maker get there in seconds, and the extension pulls contact info while you browse LinkedIn without leaving the page. For **North American tech and mid-market contacts**, email accuracy runs strongest in practice, though third-party tests still put real-world accuracy near **72-80%**. G2 sits at 4.4 across 1,382 reviews, with ease of use and fast contact discovery the recurring praise. The **API and bulk lookups** make it usable as an enrichment layer for a CRM or a custom workflow, and intent data on the Ultimate tier helps prioritize accounts already in market. ## Where it'll bite you **Data decay is the headline trap.** G2 logs 115 mentions of inaccurate data, 111 of outdated contacts, and 86 of outdated data. Third-party tests put real-world email accuracy near 72-80% and phone accuracy lower, with 20-30% bounce rates reported on cold sends. **Phone data is the second landmine.** Mobile and direct-dial accuracy varies wildly by region and role, and RocketReach does not run a human phone-verification process. Cold-calling teams betting on it get burned outside the US tech sweet spot. **Exports and billing are the third.** Annual plans now advertise unlimited lookups but cap exports at 1,200 to 20,000 a year, so a big list can still hit an export wall. Trustpilot sits at roughly **1.2/5 across 1,106 reviews**, dominated by auto-renewal and refund-refusal complaints. Verify before you send, and watch the renewal date. ## What it costs, really Free gets you **5 lookups a month** to sample. Paid runs three per-seat tiers, and the meter changed this year: annual plans now advertise **unlimited lookups** and cap **exports** instead. Essentials is **$27/mo billed annually or $49/mo monthly**, email-only, with 1,200 exports a year. Pro is **$69/mo annual or $99/mo monthly**, adds phone numbers, with 3,600 exports a year. Ultimate is **$142/mo annual or $209/mo monthly**, adds the API, intent data, and Salesforce custom mapping, with 20,000 exports a year. The **monthly toggle is a different product**: it meters lookups and exports together at 100, 250, and 1,000 per month. So on annual the wall moved from lookups to exports, and annual still **locks in a full year** regardless of whether match rates hold. Team and Custom plans start around $6K a year and add pooled export credits and SSO. Price a pilot against your vertical's real match rate before committing. ## Reach for it / skip it - **Reach for it if:** Individual SDRs and recruiters who need fast, low-to-mid volume contact lookups, especially across North American tech and mid-market buyers. - **Skip it if:** You need high-volume verified lists or reliable mobile dials. A specialist like Cognism for verified phones or Apollo for bundled prospecting-plus-sending fits better. ## What real users said - "I use RocketReach for getting leads and contact info for choosing the right candidate. They found me great and qualified candidates. I appreciate the accuracy of the data and the suitable budget system. The email and phone numbers are over 98% accurate, ideal for most users." -- Ronald D., G2 - "What I like best about RocketReach is its LinkedIn extension, which makes it quick and easy to access contact information while viewing a profile. I also find the email features very useful: you can send emails directly from RocketReach and track engagement, such as whether the email was opened or the links were clicked." -- Benjamin T., G2 - "It could use more depth on organization structure, it's a bit weak for building large, segmented lists compared to other tools, and I wish it had built-in outreach tools. It would be helpful to see how "fresh" a contact is, as I don't really put much weight into their current A+/A- ratings. The platform often feels very "laggy", and I often wish it had a more seamless feel to it, especially when using the search function." -- Holly M., G2 - "The sequence email sent count should increase. Currently, we can send 500 emails per day. Since we are running multiple sequences, the mail count is limited, and we have to wait for one sequence to complete before starting another one." -- Hillal A., G2 --- Full review: https://10xgtm.ai/tool/rocketreach - 22 cited sources.
