Preserve these limitations: it is not a phone-number database, the Leads feature is a lightweight CRM rather than a full CRM, Email Verifier accuracy is imperfect (vendor's own benchmark scored 70%), Sequences permit at most 5 follow-ups, and Data Platform plans are yearly-only and exclude Sequences, Signals and Discover. Preserve the cost model: plans are subscriptions with credits (1 per email found, 0.5 per verification), monthly credits do not roll over, Inbox Protection and managed email accounts are paid add-ons, and Data Platform is pay-as-you-go credit packs. Deliverability depends on the user's own inbox infrastructure.
