Honest Comparison

FilingAlert vs ZoomInfo — Do You Need a $15K Database or Fresh Formation Leads?

ZoomInfo is the dominant B2B data platform, offering detailed company profiles, org charts, technographics, and intent data for millions of businesses. It costs $15,000-$30,000+ per year. FilingAlert does one thing: delivers newly formed business leads within 24 hours of their Secretary of State filing, for $99-$499/month. If you sell to established mid-market companies, ZoomInfo is the right tool. If you sell to brand-new businesses, you're paying for data you don't need.

The Verdict

ZoomInfo is built for enterprise sales teams selling to established companies. It's the wrong tool if your ideal customer is a business that was formed yesterday. A brand-new LLC doesn't have a ZoomInfo profile, an org chart, or technographic data — but it does have an immediate need for insurance, accounting, and business services. FilingAlert costs 90% less than ZoomInfo and delivers the one thing ZoomInfo can't: leads from today's formations.
