Home / Jobs / Find & Chase Leads

Lead agents, costed with the add-ons included.

A solo outbound stack has two halves: finding and enriching the right prospects, then sending sequences and triaging replies so you only talk to interested people. Pricing pages in this category lie by omission, so every cost here is built at 500 and 2,000 prospects a month — mandatory add-ons included.

One sender · low ≈ 500, typical ≈ 2,000 prospects/month — add-ons included · Every figure from the vendor’s own pricing page

Questions, answered

Is AI cold outreach legal / will it burn my domain?

Outreach must comply with the rules where your recipients are (CAN-SPAM in the US, stricter consent rules elsewhere) — the tools don't transfer that responsibility. Domain burning is a real risk: reputable setups send from separate warmed domains, never your main one. Listings that don't support separate sending domains say so in their cons.

Why do so many of these vendors hide their pricing?

Because the category grew up selling to sales teams with budgets, via demos. For a solo founder that opacity is a cost in itself — you can burn a week in sales calls. We mark those listings 'Pricing not published — quote only' and rank transparent tools above them for solo use.

Do I need Clay AND a sending tool?

Clay is primarily enrichment and orchestration — it builds and enriches lists; most solos pair it with a sender like Instantly or Smartlead. All-in-one SDR agents (for example AiSDR) bundle both but give you less control over deliverability. The listings state which half each product covers.

How many prospects should a solo founder contact a month?

Fewer than the tools encourage. 500–2,000 well-targeted prospects with genuine personalisation outperforms 20,000 sprayed — for reply quality, deliverability and the hours you spend on follow-up. That's why our cost scenarios use those volumes.
