ColdIQ Review

ColdIQ resells and routes B2B data. Instead of subscribing to Apollo, People Data Labs, Prospeo, Findymail, FullEnrich, BuiltWith, TheirStack, DataForSEO, Exa and others separately, you call ColdIQ, which says it benchmarks providers on live data and routes each request to the best performer with waterfall fallback. You can also call a specific provider directly. Coverage includes people and company search, email and phone finding with verification, enrichment, tech stacks, job postings and buying signals, plus Visitor ID and mailboxes.

You use it through an agent chat with Projects, through an MCP server in Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or Hermes Agent, through ColdIQ in Slack, or through a REST API with an OpenAPI spec, and results can be pushed to sequencers such as Instantly. ColdIQ grew out of an outbound sales agency and still links to agency services, but the product on its homepage is the data platform.

Starter credits cost about $0.014 each at the entry tier ($99 / 7,000) and $0.013 at the top tier ($399 / 31,000); Scale credits cost about $0.0125 at entry ($499 / 40,000) and $0.011 at the top tier ($4,999 / 455,000). Each call's credit cost is shown before it runs, and ColdIQ does not publish a per-action credit table. There is no per-seat price: extra users on an account do not change the bill. Annual billing saves up to 10%; annual prices are not listed. One-time credits never expire. Larger volumes go through sales.

What ColdIQ lists on its homepage and FAQ:

ColdIQ suits GTM engineers, RevOps teams and founders who already work in Claude Code or Cursor and want prospect data and enrichment as tool calls, without juggling a dozen vendor contracts and API keys. No seat fees make it cheaper than per-user tools for larger teams.

If you want a spreadsheet-style enrichment workbench, Clay is the better-known choice. If you only need email finding, single providers such as Prospeo or FullEnrich may be cheaper. If you want someone to run outbound for you, ColdIQ's agency side or a dedicated agency is a different purchase from this platform.

Third-party reviews mostly cover ColdIQ's earlier agency business, not the data platform. G2 lists 4 reviews averaging 3.8 out of 5: three praise the team's outbound tooling knowledge, and one says the outreach produced no measurable leads. Reviews on Salesforge and LeadHaste are written by competing outbound vendors and agencies. No independent reviews of the credit-based platform were found.
