If you’re done with static lists and dated data, here’s what to use instead.

I used LeadScrape back in the day when I needed quick lists of local business leads. It’s a decent scraping tool—cheap, offline, and does what it says. But let’s be real: it’s dated. No CRM sync, no email verification, no intent data, no outreach.

So I went hunting for better B2B lead generation tools, and here’s what actually worked 👇

1. ZoomInfo

What it does: Premium B2B leads database with buyer intent, technographics, and sales insights.

Why it’s 🔥:

• Massive B2B contact database—emails, phones, job titles, org charts.
• Built-in buyer intent data (super useful for timing outreach).
• Seamless CRM + sales tool integrations.

What bugged me:

• Expensive AF.
• You need a demo to get a price (annoying).
• Data gets iffy for small/local biz.

Pricing: Enterprise-level. Not SMB-friendly.

Verdict: Total beast if you’ve got budget and a sales team. Way more than just a lead scraper—this is a full-blown B2B lead generation platform.

2. RocketReach

What it does: Email + phone number finder that pulls data from LinkedIn, company websites, and social profiles.

What I liked:

• Chrome extension is fast and super intuitive.
• Great hit rate on verified business emails.
• Affordable compared to big dogs.

What I didn’t:

• Not built for bulk scraping.
• No intent data or deep company info.

Pricing: From $53/month.

Verdict: If you’re replacing LeadScrape to get accurate contact info, RocketReach is way cleaner and way easier to use.

3. Kaspr

What it does: Real-time lead generation tool for LinkedIn that finds emails and direct dials instantly.

What I loved:

• The phone number hit rate blew LeadScrape out of the water.
• Easy Chrome extension that works while you browse.
• Has webhook and automation features baked in.

What’s meh:

• Stronger in EU than US.
• Less deep company insights.

Pricing: Free plan. Paid from €49/month.

Verdict: If you’re doing cold calls or outbound from LinkedIn, Kaspr crushes LeadScrape. Just faster, cleaner, and smarter.

4. LeadIQ

What it does: Prospecting tool that syncs leads from LinkedIn straight into your CRM with validated emails.

What I liked:

• Live enrichment + email validation.
• CRM sync is slick (especially with HubSpot/Salesforce).
• Tracks job changes, funding alerts, and more.

What I didn’t love:

• Steeper price if you’re solo.
• Not built for scraping big lists.

Pricing: Starts at $75/month.

Verdict: If LeadScrape feels like duct tape, LeadIQ feels like Tesla. It’s smarter prospecting for serious SDRs.

5. Apollo.io

What it does: Complete B2B lead generation tool—prospecting, enrichment, cold email, CRM… all in one.

Why I’m obsessed:

• Massive database (270M+ contacts).
• Direct dials, validated emails, company filters = easy targeting.
• Built-in email outreach, sequences, and analytics.
• Free plan is shockingly useful.

What’s not perfect:

• UI gets laggy with big lists.
• Emails can bounce if you skip verification.

Pricing: Free plan available. Paid from $49/month.

Verdict: This replaced LeadScrape + 3 other tools for me. If you want to scale outbound with one platform, Apollo is your move.

6. SalesIntel

Honestly, this is a solid B2B leads database provider with human-verified contacts (they claim 95% accuracy). Great for targeting U.S. decision-makers, especially if you’re into account-based stuff.

Loved:

• Human-verified data = super clean.
• Buyer intent + firmographics.
• B2B technographic data is gold for SaaS sales.

Meh:

• UI feels a bit clunky.
• Not the best for global leads.

Pricing: You’ll need to talk to sales.

Verdict: If clean, verified U.S. business leads are what you’re after, this beats LeadScrape all day.

7. LeadSwift

LeadSwift focuses on local business lead generation, and it’s fast. Think roofers, HVAC, dentists—perfect for agencies doing local SEO or cold outreach.

Loved:
