   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is generally accurate and up-to-date, I have come across a few instances where the information was incomplete or outdated.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.

• Enriching Free Trial Signups: The PLG Data Stack for Turning Inbound Users Into Qualified Pipeline

  Skip ZoomInfo for this use case. It's enterprise-contract priced, built for outbound prospecting from company lists, and adds zero value for personal email resolution. Same story with Lusha — excellent for Chrome extension-style lookups starting from a LinkedIn profile, wrong tool for an automated inbound pipeline. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

• How to Build an OSINT-Powered B2B Prospecting Workflow in 2026 (Without Getting Banned)

  Most SDR stacks start with a contact database — ZoomInfo, Apollo, or Lusha — and treat enrichment as a one-time step at the top of the funnel. The problem: these databases are 3–18 months stale on average. Job titles change. Companies restructure. Decision-makers who were Director of Engineering in Q1 are VP by Q3. - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

• LinkedIn Scraping Is Dead: 5 Legal, ToS-Safe Alternatives That Actually Work in 2026

  Kaspr is the most LinkedIn-native option on this list. The Chrome extension sits on LinkedIn profiles and exports contact data directly — phone numbers, emails, and CRM sync. 120M+ European contacts is their differentiator; US coverage is noticeably thinner. Starting at $74/month, it's not cheap for light usage, but teams running 200+ LinkedIn outreach touches per month will find the unit economics work. Kaspr is... - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

• 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: about 3 years 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.

• SpaceX to buy Cursor AI coding agent operator Anysphere for $60B

  The thing is, even the center of the road academics who refrain from such comparisons are noting the similarity. The MAGA movement meets the traditional defining characteristics of fascio. We can be rigid and say that only Mussolini‘s political movement can be properly be called fascist. But if we call Hitler and the Nazis fascists as well, then we open the door to any movement that meets the criteria. And Trump... - Source: Hacker News / 19 days ago

  The vast majority of people from the developed world have no problems going through any border in the developed world.
