B2B marketers need a constant flow of potential customers and new opportunities in their pipeline. By generating qualified leads, marketers engage with prospects, build relationships, and ultimately increase sales.
B2B data feeds your pipeline the target accounts and contacts needed for company growth. Your B2B data provides valuable insights into target industries, companies, and decision-makers, enabling marketers to identify and reach their ideal customers.
When you find your ideal client profile, you want to feed as many of them as your sales team can handle into your pipeline. However, if your data provider uses a contact credit system, your maximum growth is capped. Marketing has to share credits with other teams, and any new campaigns will have to wait for more credits to be available. Instead of moving at your pace, you’re forced to move at the pace of your credit usage.
For instance, there’s a limit on ZoomInfo credits (10k per year). You get around 1000 credits to use in a month. That’s a hard limit on your growth!
Let’s go over the common challenges we hear from our prospects (mostly existing ZoomInfo users) because of their limited credits and how your marketing plan can benefit from switching to an unlimited credit plan.
Challenges in Lead Generation Due to Limited Zoominfo Credits
B2B marketers struggle with lead generation when access to high-quality B2B data is limited. This can hinder lead generation efforts in several ways, including:
- Incomplete and Inaccurate Data: Limited access to B2B data can result in incomplete and inaccurate information about potential leads, making it difficult for marketers to reach the right audience with the right message. Inaccurate data can even hurt your email domain reputation and stop your outreach efforts.
- Missed Opportunities: Without access to a comprehensive database of B2B contacts, marketers may miss out on potential leads that could be a good fit for their product or service.
- Reduced Efficiency: Limited data access can lead to increased time and effort spent on researching and identifying potential leads, reducing the efficiency of the lead generation process.
- High Costs: Obtaining high-quality B2B data can be expensive, and limited access to data may require marketers to pay higher prices to access the information they need.
Overall, limited access to B2B data can hinder lead generation efforts and make it difficult for marketers to achieve their goals.
Limited Credits and Expensive Add-Ons – Frequent Worries for ZoomInfo Users
How much do ZoomInfo credits cost its users?
Well, ZoomInfo used to be the go-to provider of B2B data and was widely accepted by marketers for lead generation. However, 8 out of 10 ZoomInfo users have expressed dissatisfaction with the limited ZoomInfo credits and expensive add-ons associated with the platform.
One major complaint from users is that ZoomInfo’s data is not always complete or accurate, leading to missed opportunities and wasted time. Additionally, users have reported that the platform’s data credits model can be limiting and expensive, with add-ons and overages costing thousands of dollars per year.
Here’s a review from a ZoomInfo user posted on Gartner:
Here’s another review where a user faced a limited data credit challenge.
This recent review mentions how ZoomInfo was good initially, how much Zoominfo credits cost their business, and how they found themselves in an auto-renewal clause after spending a hefty amount on ZoomInfo.
These are just a few reviews from the past 12 months where users shared the common challenge of expensive packaging and limited ZoomInfo credits. Most of the reviews are from mid-market companies and can be a learning opportunity for companies looking for a data provider.
How to Switch to Unlimited B2B Data Credits

We have already seen how limited credits and data access can stop you from casting a wider net to drive potential customers to your pipeline. And, forget about experimenting with new audience segments.
With ZoomInfo (and other similar competitors), users typically have to purchase ZoomInfo credits and then utilize those credits to access various features such as email addresses, phone numbers, data exports, and CRM integration. However, this credit-based system often leads to concerns among different teams within an organization. Marketers worry about running out of credits for their campaigns, sales teams are concerned about having enough credits for effective prospecting, and Revenue Operations (RevOps) teams worry about having sufficient credits to maintain clean and enriched data. Everyone has to fight over a shared resource.
In contrast, SalesIntel offers a solution that eliminates the need to worry about counting credits altogether. With SalesIntel, all the essential features are included as part of the package. This means users have unlimited access to email addresses, mobile phone numbers, account firmographics, account technographics, downloads, exports, integrations, web visitor insights, and data enrichment.
