So if you’re here, you’re probably like me—someone who liked the idea of TaskDrive (dedicated VA-style lead research, custom lists, etc.) but felt it had limitations. Maybe the turnaround time was meh. Or you wanted something faster, more automated, or with built-in tools.

I’ve tested a lot of B2B Lead Generation Tools—here are my personal favs to replace or even level up from TaskDrive in 2025.

1. ZoomInfo – The Corporate Powerhouse

Let’s not pretend—ZoomInfo is the beast of all Lead Generation Companies. It’s pricey, but you get access to one of the biggest B2B Leads Databases out there.

What’s 🔥:

• Massive, constantly updated contact + firmographic data
• Built-in tools for workflows, intent signals, and enrichment
• Great integrations with CRMs like HubSpot + Salesforce

What’s not:

• Contracts are long and expensive
• Overkill if you’re not enterprise

💰 Custom pricing (think $$$$)
🔥 Best for: Mid-to-enterprise sales teams that need scale and insights

2. RocketReach – Clean & Easy Email + Phone Lookups

RocketReach is way more chill than ZoomInfo. Perfect for fast lookups without the commitment. It’s kinda my go-to when I want verified business emails and direct dials without any fluff.

Why I like it:

• Fast search by person or company
• Pretty high accuracy for emails
• Pay-as-you-go available

Why I don’t:

• No outreach tools
• Can get pricey if you scale

💰 Starts at $39/mo
🔥 Best for: Freelancers or founders who need contacts on the fly

3. Kaspr – Chrome-Based Contact Grabber

If you love LinkedIn prospecting, Kaspr is 🔥. It’s got a slick Chrome extension that grabs emails + phone numbers straight from LinkedIn profiles.

Pros:

• Super easy to use
• Real-time data scraping
• Affordable vs. ZoomInfo

Cons:

• Focused only on LinkedIn
• Lacks deep company info

💰 Free plan available, paid from ~€30/mo
🔥 Best for: SDRs who live on LinkedIn

4. LeadIQ – B2B Prospecting + Sequence-Friendly

LeadIQ is like the cooler cousin of TaskDrive. Still human-first, but with automation layered in. Great for sales teams doing outbound lead generation in a structured way.

Why it rocks:

• Enriches data as you browse LinkedIn
• Integrates with HubSpot, Salesforce, Outreach
• Has some sequencing baked in

Meh:

• Lead credits run out fast
• UI isn’t as fast as Clay or Apollo

💰 Starts around $75/mo
🔥 Best for: Reps doing targeted, multi-touch outbound

5. Apollo.io – The Swiss Army Knife of B2B Lead Gen

Honestly? Apollo might be my top pick if you’re switching from TaskDrive. It’s got a huge lead database, built-in cold email outreach, workflow automation, and even LinkedIn enrichment.

🔥 Features:

• 275M+ contacts with verified data
• Email + phone + social + job change alerts
• Sequences, scoring, CRM sync—all in one

Not ideal:

• UI can be a bit overwhelming
• Not perfect on phone numbers

💰 Free forever plan, paid from $49/mo
🔥 Best for: Solopreneurs or small teams doing volume outbound

6. SalesIntel – Super Accurate, Human-Verified Data

This one comes close to TaskDrive in spirit—humans verify the data. But it’s all baked into a slick UI, with CRM sync, filters, and real-time enrichment.

What I liked:

• Human-verified = very low bounce rate
• Good U.S. coverage
• Intent data + integrations with major CRMs

What I didn’t:

• Pricing’s high
• Not ideal for small or solo teams

💰 Starts around $99/mo
🔥 Best for: Teams that want accuracy and don’t mind paying for it

7. LeadSwift – Simple, Lightweight, and Underrated

Tried this one on a whim—ended up liking it more than I expected. It’s fast, clean, and great for scraping local business leads or niche B2B lists.

Pros:

• Minimal UI, easy to learn
• Focused on simplicity
• Good bang for buck

Cons:

• Not super deep data
• No outreach tools or workflows

💰 Starts at $49/mo
🔥 Best for: Solo founders or small teams building targeted lists

8. LeadScrape – One-Time Bulk Data Puller

LeadScrape is like the no-frills cousin of TaskDrive. You download a desktop app, plug in your criteria, and it pulls business leads in bulk.

Why it’s solid:

• Cheap and fast
• Great for bulk list building
• Covers local + international markets

Why it’s not:

• No outreach or CRM features
• Feels very 2010

💰 One-time fee around $97
🔥 Best for: Bulk scraping without recurring costs

9. Skrapp – Basic LinkedIn Email Finder

Let’s be honest—Skrapp is kinda like the OG version of TaskDrive but DIY. You get emails from LinkedIn with a browser extension, export to CSV, and do the rest yourself.

Perks:

• Simple Chrome plugin
• Good email accuracy for LinkedIn contacts
• Affordable pricing tiers

Limitations:

• No phone numbers
• Not scalable for big teams

💰 Free plan, paid from $39/mo
🔥 Best for: Beginners or low-volume LinkedIn scraping

10. Snov.io – Scraper Meets Cold Email Tool

If TaskDrive had a tech-savvy cousin, it’d be Snov.io. It combines prospecting tools with cold outreach automation in one dashboard.

Good stuff:

• Lead finder + email verifier
• Campaign builder for cold email
• Affordable and flexible plans

Not-so-good:

• UI gets clunky at scale
• Contact data isn’t as deep as others

💰 Free plan available. Paid from $39/mo
🔥 Best for: Startups doing cold email + DIY lead gen

11. GetProspect – Basic, Affordable Email Finder

GetProspect is basically Skrapp 2.0—very similar in vibe but a bit more user-friendly. You plug in filters, search LinkedIn, and export.

Pros:

• Affordable for solos or small agencies
• CRM integrations are improving

Cons:

• Email-only
• Not great for personalization or enrichment

💰 Free plan, paid from $49/mo
🔥 Best for: Solo users building email lists on a budget

12. LeadFuze – Automated List Builder With Filters

LeadFuze is ideal when you want to set it and forget it. The “Fuzebot” automatically builds lead lists based on your filters and keeps them updated.

🔥 Features:

• Set up once, get fresh leads daily
• Solid intent + tech filters
• Zapier and CRM-friendly

Not-so-hot:

• Data quality varies
• Pricey if you only need a few hundred leads

💰 Starts at $147/mo
🔥 Best for: Agencies or growth teams who want hands-off automation

13. Instantly.ai – Email Outreach Beast (Pair It With a Lead Tool)

This isn’t a lead finder—it’s what you use after you’ve got leads. Instantly lets you warm inboxes, rotate emails, and send cold emails at scale without tanking deliverability.

What I love:

• Unlimited email sending
• Smart warm-up and auto-rotation
• Clean campaign tracking

What I don’t:

• No lead sourcing—you have to import
• Limited CRM features

💰 Starts at $37/mo
🔥 Best for: Power users sending high-volume cold email

14. Brevo – CRM Meets Email Marketing

Brevo (formerly Sendinblue) is more about lead nurturing than lead finding. If you’re running newsletters, SMS campaigns, or need a light CRM, it’s a solid pick.

Why it’s cool:

• Email + SMS + WhatsApp support
• Basic pipeline/CRM features
• Drag-n-drop automations

Not ideal for:

• Cold prospecting
• Contact enrichment

💰 Free plan. Paid starts at $25/mo

This one’s different. Leadzai is more of a paid ads + AI campaign builder that helps generate inbound leads through ad automation.

Pros:

• Auto-optimizes campaigns
• Decent lead capture forms + CRM

Cons:

• No B2B contact database
• Limited control for power users

💰 Starts around €49/mo

16. 6sense – Intent + Account-Based Everything

6sense is a total enterprise-level ABM platform. Think predictive analytics, buying stage insights, and account orchestration.

What rocks:

• Intent-based targeting
• Predictive scoring
• Serious integrations with sales/marketing tools

Why it’s not for everyone:

• You need a team to run it well

💰 Enterprise pricing only
🔥 Best for: Large B2B sales orgs doing ABM at scale

17. Leadfeeder – Turn Website Visitors Into Leads

Leadfeeder is great if you’re getting traffic but want to actually see who’s visiting. It turns anonymous visits into company-level leads.

What I liked:

• Shows you which B2B companies visit your site
• Integrates with CRMs
• Nice for retargeting

What’s lacking:

• No contact data (unless paired with enrichment)

💰 Free plan, paid starts at $139/mo

• Company intent data is decent
• Nice reporting/exporting

What I didn’t:

• UI feels dated
• Hit a few dead emails here and there

💰 Starts around $99/mo
🔥 Best for: Teams that want a ZoomInfo-lite experience

20. Overloop – Outreach Platform with Built-in Prospecting

Overloop (formerly Prospect.io) is a cold email platform with built-in contact discovery. I liked it for light campaigns where I didn’t want to use multiple tools.

What’s solid:

• Multi-channel sequences
• LinkedIn + email automation
• Clean workflows

What’s meh:

• Smaller lead database
• Not great for bulk prospecting

💰 Starts at $49/mo
🔥 Best for: Teams wanting outreach + leads in one spot

21. Hunter.io – Best for Finding Emails From Domains

Hunter is legendary for finding emails tied to a domain. You plug in a company site, it shows you the likely emails + confidence score.

Pros:

• Fast and free for small jobs
• Domain search and email pattern finder
• API is powerful

Cons:

• Emails only, no phones
• Not great for deep prospecting

💰 Free plan, paid from $49/mo

22. Coldlytics – Human-Powered Lead Research

Coldlytics is the closest to TaskDrive in terms of vibe—humans go dig up leads for you. You describe your ICP, they deliver a list.

Pros:

• Super targeted results
• Quality is high if you’re specific
• Great customer support

Cons:

• Turnaround can be slow
• Not scalable for daily prospecting

🔥 Best for: Agencies or startups with niche ICPs

23. Seamless.ai – AI-Powered Prospecting (Kinda)

Lots of hype around Seamless. It’s fast, has a Chrome plugin, and covers both emails + phone numbers. That said… data can be a mixed bag.

What’s cool:

• Real-time search + integrations
• Unlimited leads (on higher plans)
• Big database

What’s not:

• Accuracy isn’t amazing
• Sales-y onboarding is aggressive

💰 Free trial, paid from $147/mo

24. LeadsGorilla – Local Lead Gen Tool

This one’s very niche—great if you’re scraping local business leads from Google Maps or Facebook for SEO/email agency work.

Likes:

• Finds GMB + FB page data
• Great for local SEO or digital marketers
• One-time pricing option

Dislikes:

• Not B2B SaaS-focused
• UI is clunky

💰 One-time fee (around $47–$67)
🔥 Best for: Local lead gen freelancers or agencies

25. Lusha – Chrome Plugin Powerhouse

Lusha is a favorite for quick contact pulls off LinkedIn. It’s fast, easy, and integrates well with CRMs. Think RocketReach vibes but sleeker.

Wins:

• Emails + phone numbers
• Great for outbound teams
• Strong compliance focus

Fails:

• Limited usage on free/low plans
• Expensive for scaling

💰 Free plan, paid starts at $99/mo
🔥 Best for: SDRs who live on LinkedIn

26. Clay – Automations + Data Enrichment King

Clay is like Airtable on steroids. It’s less a lead database and more a lead gen automation machine—pulls from multiple sources, enriches, dedupes, etc.

What’s 🔥:

• Pulls from LinkedIn, Apollo, Hunter, Clearbit, etc.
• Built-in enrichment + Zapier-style logic
• Hyper customizable

What’s 😬:

• Learning curve
• Not beginner-friendly

💰 Starts at $149/mo
🔥 Best for: Growth hackers or RevOps nerds

27. Datanyze – Lightweight Tech Tracker

I used Datanyze when I wanted to target by company tech stack (like who’s using Shopify, HubSpot, etc.). It’s very focused, but kinda dated now.

Pros:

• Tech firmographics
• Chrome extension
• Email + phone data

Cons:

• UI is basic
• Smaller database than competitors

💰 Starts around $29/mo
🔥 Best for: Tech-specific targeting

28. Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) – Legacy Database Giant

D&B is more of a corporate data platform than a lean lead gen tool. Still, if you need global firmographic data and deep org charts, it delivers.

Pros:

• Trusted by enterprise
• Deep company insights
• Global reach

Cons:

• Overkill for most
• Expensive and clunky

💰 Custom/Enterprise pricing
🔥 Best for: Big orgs with compliance or credit scoring needs
