Question 1

Who is this for?

Accepted Answer

GetLeads is for GTM engineers and salespeople who build lists of B2B prospects.

Question 2

Do I need to be a coder to use an MCP?

Accepted Answer

No. In your AI tool’s connector or MCP settings, add https://app.getleads.io/api/mcp, choose OAuth or sign-in authentication, then connect and sign in to GetLeads.

Question 3

Is there a dashboard or UI?

Accepted Answer

It's API and MCP only. We're for people who use AI for everything.

Question 4

Do I need a paid Claude or ChatGPT plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but the standard $20-a-month Claude plan is enough for most people.

Question 5

Is there a setup guide or demo videos?

Accepted Answer

Yes, when you sign up you'll be guided using our prompts and skills.

Question 6

Is there a free trial?

Accepted Answer

Yes, every new account gets 1,000 free exports, and it's free to check how many results a search would return.

Question 7

What is a search?

Accepted Answer

A search is a set of filters, like job title, seniority, industry, headcount and location, used on our 542M+ contact database. Your AI assistant builds the filters from what you describe.

Question 8

Can I search in plain language but still keep the results controllable?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your AI assistant turns your request into exact filters, so ask it to show you the filters and a result count before it exports, then change anything you don't like.

Question 9

What does a good prompt look like?

Accepted Answer

Treat it like building a prompt for making Apollo search filters. Don't say "marketing agencies", say "I want companies in the US with a headcount of 5-200, use all the industries that a marketing agency might be under".

Question 10

Can I use a smaller, less expensive AI model?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the AI is just writing search filters, so it's actually quite basic.

Question 11

How should I build lists now that it's unlimited? Does anything change?

Accepted Answer

Yes, search wide and export everyone at your target companies, then have your AI assistant pick the right people from their job titles, headlines and About sections. That way you reach decision-makers with unusual titles a narrow title filter would miss — the people nobody else is emailing.

Question 12

What's the best way to build a list of companies?

Accepted Answer

Make a search wide enough that you definitely get all your customers, which means you'll also get a lot of companies that aren't. Then ask your AI assistant to check each company against your ICP and drop the rest.

Question 13

How do I know which filters and values I can search by?

Accepted Answer

Ask your AI assistant to check all the search filters and suggest the different ways you could build the list.

Question 14

How do results come back?

Accepted Answer

Your AI assistant gives you a CSV file, or you can pull results as JSON through the API and webhooks.

Question 15

What filters can we search by?

Accepted Answer

You can find all the filters at getleads.io/data. It's what you'd get with Apollo and more.

Question 16

Can I search for companies that are hiring for a role?

Accepted Answer

Soon we will add a way to search for every single job post on the internet.

Question 17

What identifiers can I use for lookup?

Accepted Answer

You can look up data using LinkedIn URLs, company domains or personal email addresses.

Question 18

Do profiles include work history, education and skills?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our profile data includes work and education histories with dates, skills and other available profile sections.

Question 19

Do you provide company funding data?

Accepted Answer

Funding data is coming soon through a new provider.

Question 20

Can GetLeads enrich from domains or company page URLs?

Accepted Answer

Yes, give your AI assistant a list of domains or company page URLs and get every contact.

Question 21

What data fields do you have per company and per contact?

Accepted Answer

There are up to 95 data fields per contact and company profile. See getleads.io/data for the full list; searchable fields are highlighted. Fields are returned when we have them.

Question 22

Do you have phone numbers?

Accepted Answer

Yes, 88M+ contacts have a mobile number. We also return direct dials and company phone numbers where available. Reverse lookup from a phone number is pending.

Question 23

What local business (Google Maps) data do you have?

Accepted Answer

We're adding local business data from Google Maps, starting in the US. Tell us if you want your country included next: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryanetully/

Question 24

What are live leads?

Accepted Answer

Live leads are fresh contact lists you pay for as you go, on top of your plan: people who follow a company on social media, people who engage with a post, and prospects who visit your website (US only).

Question 25

Can I check which contacts in my CRM have changed jobs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Enrich your CRM contacts to check their current job details. The database refreshes monthly.

Question 26

What's the best way to get contacts into Clay?

Accepted Answer

Use Clay's HTTP API column to call our API one row at a time. Tell us if you use Clay and we'll help you set it up: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryanetully/

Question 27

Which integrations do you have?

Accepted Answer

GetLeads connects through the MCP, API and webhooks. We'll be adding sequencers and CRMs soon.

Question 28

Where does GetLeads fit in my enrichment waterfall?

Accepted Answer

First. Run your whole list through GetLeads, since it's unlimited, then send only the gaps to credit-based tools.

Question 29

Do I need to verify emails?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Always.

Question 30

Can I license your entire database or buy a specific subset?

Accepted Answer

We provide API and MCP access. We don't sell full-database licenses or separately licensed subsets.

Question 31

Do you disclose your upstream data suppliers?

Accepted Answer

We aggregate data from multiple vendors. Their identities are commercially confidential.

Question 32

Is this a LinkedIn dataset?

Accepted Answer

Not quite. We use a range of sources, but LinkedIn is such a rich dataset that any good dataset looks very similar to LinkedIn.

Question 33

How did you build the database?

Accepted Answer

We aggregate multiple wholesale data vendors, many of which have their own data centres for scraping.

Question 34

How often is the data updated?

Accepted Answer

The database refreshes monthly.

Question 35

How good is coverage outside the US? Is it a global database?

Accepted Answer

It's global, with the deepest coverage in the US, Canada, the UK and Ireland, the UAE, Australia and Western Europe.

Question 36

How do you compare to Apollo?

Accepted Answer

GetLeads works like Apollo's filters on a 400M+ contact database, but it's unlimited and built for AI. Coverage is usually within about 10% of Apollo's, and we have more search filters.

Question 37

Can you do lookalikes?

Accepted Answer

Not yet, because GetLeads uses filters rather than lookalike matching. You can get close by giving your AI assistant a few best-fit companies, asking what industries and keywords they share, and searching on those.

Question 38

Can I use GetLeads in an internal recruiting platform?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can retrieve data through the API for internal recruiting, subject to your plan's fair-use and rate limits.

Question 39

How much does it cost? Is it month-to-month?

Accepted Answer

It's $497 a month, or $249 if you post about us on social media. See getleads.io/partner.

Question 40

What is the partner discount, and what do I have to do for it?

Accepted Answer

Half price, $249 a month, for the same unlimited access, as long as you post about GetLeads on LinkedIn or YouTube twice a month. See getleads.io/partner.

Question 41

How can you offer unlimited this cheaply? What's the catch?

Accepted Answer

We pay a fixed cost to build and refresh the database each month instead of paying per lookup, so your extra searches don't cost us more. The only catch is a fair-use cap that stops anyone copying the whole database.

Question 42

Is it actually unlimited?

Accepted Answer

Yes, within a fair-use cap of 500,000 contacts a day and 6 million a month. If you genuinely need more, just ask — we raise caps per account routinely.

Question 43

What are the API rate limits?

Accepted Answer

Search allows 100 requests a minute with up to 50,000 results each, and enrichment allows 100 requests a minute at 100 rows each, so about 10,000 contacts a minute.

Question 44

Can I use GetLeads without using credits?

Accepted Answer

It's free to find out how many search results there are for your filters.

Question 45

Do large agencies need more than one subscription?

Accepted Answer

No, some of the largest outbound agencies run on a single account, and we can raise limits if you need more.

Question 46

Can I use one account for several clients?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can use your account to run outreach for your own clients, but don't share your login with them or other businesses.

Question 47

Can I build a SaaS product on your API?

Accepted Answer

You can only use GetLeads as an enrichment source, paid per credit, and you need to talk to us about that first. Using the unlimited plan to power your product is not allowed.

Question 48

Can I resell the data?

Accepted Answer

Google Maps data and live leads can be resold. If you'd like to resell our main database you can do so as an enrichment provider, so talk to us first — reselling our data without our knowledge is strictly prohibited.

Question 49

Do I need a card to start the free trial?

Accepted Answer

You add a card but pay nothing today — it's how we stop free-trial abuse. Nothing is charged for 14 days, we email you 3 days before the trial converts, and accidental renewals are refunded.

Question 50

What happens when I cancel?

Accepted Answer

Your account stays active until the end of the billing period. Your lists, saved searches and data all stay — we don't delete your account.

Question 51

What happens if I run out of credits mid-month?

Accepted Answer

$97 adds another 10,000 credits instantly — one click, no plan change, no waiting for renewal. Or upgrade to Unlimited and stop counting.

Question 52

Can I switch plans later?

Accepted Answer

Yes — upgrade anytime from the app and it takes effect immediately. The Partner plan needs a short application.

Question 53

Is pricing per seat?

Accepted Answer

No. One pooled balance for your whole team, on every plan. We never charge per seat.

Question 54

Do credit costs ever change?

Accepted Answer

If what an action costs ever changes, we announce it at least 30 days ahead — changes never apply mid-billing-cycle.
