ShellNewHandler VS WizLeads

WizLeads's answer:

1. All-in-one tool. It scrapes LinkedIn Sales Navigator, finds emails and verifies them in one place. Most teams need a separate tool for each of those steps.
2. Scraping without your LinkedIn account. It can scrape Sales Navigator on its own cloud infrastructure, so you don't have to connect your personal LinkedIn account and risk getting it restricted. This costs 2 credits per lead instead of 1.
3. Catch-all resolution. Most verifiers mark catch-all domains as "unknown." WizLeads says it can tell whether a specific address on a catch-all domain is real, which cuts bounces and protects sender reputation.
4. Secure email gateway (SEG) detection. It flags addresses behind security gateways, which affects deliverability planning.
5. One email provider in place of a waterfall. It claims its single enrichment source matches a 10-provider waterfall, and that it's "5x cheaper than your current stack."

WizLeads's answer:

1. It can replace several tools. A typical outbound setup pays separately for a Sales Navigator scraper, an email finder or waterfall, and a verifier. WizLeads does all three with one login, one bill and one pool of credits.

2. Your LinkedIn account stays out of it. Many Sales Navigator scrapers need your LinkedIn session, which can get your account restricted or banned. WizLeads can scrape on its own infrastructure instead, at 2 credits per lead rather than 1.

3. It handles catch-all domains. Many verifiers return "unknown" for catch-all domains, so you either drop those leads or risk bounces. WizLeads says it can tell whether a specific address on a catch-all domain is real. Combined with its security gateway detection, that should mean more usable leads and fewer bounces.

4. You pay only for results. Credits are spent only when something is found, unused credits roll over each month, and one pool covers scraping, enrichment and verification. Plans start at $39 for 10,000 credits.

5. It fits existing workflows. The REST API works with Clay, n8n, Make and Zapier. There's also a Chrome extension for looking up one person at a time, including mobile numbers.

WizLeads's answer:

WizLeads is mainly built for B2B outbound operators who build their own lead lists from LinkedIn Sales Navigator and send cold email at volume. That's my reading of the features and pricing; the site doesn't name an audience outright.

Core segments: 1. Cold email and lead-gen agencies. They scrape, enrich and verify lists for several clients, so bulk Sales Navigator scraping, credits that roll over, and not risking their own LinkedIn accounts matter most to them. 2. Freelancers and solo lead-gen consultants. The entry plan is literally called "Freelancer" ($39 for 10,000 credits), which points to individuals doing list-building as a service. 3. In-house SDR, BDR and growth teams at B2B companies, especially lean teams that want one tool instead of a scraper, a finder and a verifier. 4. Technical GTM and RevOps builders. People who automate prospecting in Clay, n8n, Make or Zapier, who would use the REST API rather than the web app.

Traits they share: - They work from Sales Navigator searches, not a built-in contact database like Apollo's or ZoomInfo's. - They care about deliverability. Catch-all resolution and security gateway detection only matter if you're protecting sending domains, which suggests an experienced cold emailer. - They're cost-conscious and pull thousands of leads a month, so paying only for results and the "5x cheaper" message are aimed at them. - They're hands-on. They run their own campaigns rather than buying a done-for-you service.
