   Good, but Not the Best B2B Database

   As a B2B database, ZoomInfo certainly has a lot to offer. Its detailed business information on people and companies is impressive, and I've found it to be a useful resource for researching potential clients and partners.

   However, I do have a few criticisms of the product. Firstly, its pricing is quite steep, especially compared to other B2B databases on the market. This makes it difficult for smaller businesses or startups to justify the cost. Additionally, while the information on ZoomInfo is generally accurate and up-to-date, I have come across a few instances where the information was incomplete or outdated.

   Despite these drawbacks, ZoomInfo is still a good resource for business information. It just might not be the best option out there. If you're willing to pay for a premium service, then ZoomInfo could be worth considering. However, if you're looking for more cost-effective alternatives, there are several options to consider.

• Vendor annoyance phone calls

  For the phone calls - there's a decent chance they got your number from zoominfo.com - you can go there and request to be removed. Source: 11 months ago

• Forward spam emails back to sender!

  I just found a few data collator sites, zoominfo.com and signalhire.com are just two - they seem to scrape sites like Linkedin etc and collate everything. Personal numbers can be found pretty easily, if you've ever signed up for a business identification number it could be there, could be in a data leak somewhere - these companies are pretty shady and will buy data from places to just get a lead.

• Considerations for choosing an installer? Experiences with Suntuity?

  I suppose the easiest way is to just search the company on the intrawebs and see what their web site pulls up. You can kind of tell from there and their Yelp reviews/Google reviews, if they are their own company or some kind of contractor type company. I also used zoominfo.com to get a sense of how big the company was. You'll probably be able to tell from there if they are their own company or part of a larger... Source: over 2 years ago

• Need help finding simulation business bank accounts + credit cards

  My company made a financial dashboard for small businesses that aggregates information from financial institutions into a simplified view. The problem I need to solve: our only way of showing what it looks like when in use, is by connecting our own bank accounts + credit cards, but of course that exposes our personal info. I'd like to setup a demo account using fake financial data that simulates a real world... Source: 10 months ago

• Need A Solution to Amex Business Credit Card Data

  I have been looking into this and found Plaid, Yodlee, and Flinks. I am not 100% if any of these will work. Source: 11 months ago

• (Canada) Does anyone know of an API service that will users to connect with their personal bank and return things like their bank feed?

  Yeah I fully expect to pay, but I am sure there are companies that do this. It's simply reading data, I am not touching anything within the user's bank account. Places like Australia are quite big on open banking I believe, that allows, with proper verification, to access bank account information. I've just found one company plaid.com, it doesn't have all the institutions I was hoping for but the majority of big... Source: 11 months ago

• Intuits Mint is garbage this year, need other recs for tracking expenses.

  Switching platforms won't help. Every money visualization app on the market uses plaid to fetch their data, so every app will have the same data quality issues. Source: 11 months ago
