They do different jobs: ZoomInfo and Apollo.io are full platforms, People Data Labs and Reverse Contact are APIs, and Clay combines other providers. Pick by the job, then test coverage on your own records.\u003C\u002Fp>",{"question":20,"answer":21},"How often is sales intelligence data refreshed?","\u003Cp>It depends on the vendor. Of the 11 here, four publish a cadence: we refresh high-demand profiles every 30 days and active ones every 90, Cognism puts its Director+ refresh cycle at 30 days for 95% of those contacts, SalesIntel re-verifies every 90 days, and People Data Labs refreshes monthly. For the other seven, ask before you sign.\u003C\u002Fp>",{"question":23,"answer":24},"Are database sizes comparable between sales intelligence companies?","\u003Cp>Not directly. Vendors count contacts, profiles, records, leads or email addresses, and People Data Labs alone gives a person-record total near 2.5 billion and a unique-individual count of 1.5B+. Compare the unit first, then test on your own accounts.\u003C\u002Fp>",{"question":26,"answer":27},"What is the difference between a sales intelligence solution and a data enrichment tool?","\u003Cp>A sales intelligence solution usually adds search, so you can find new people and companies. A data enrichment tool fills in records you already have. Many products do both, and sales intelligence services such as Cognism's sell the data through an app and an API at once.\u003C\u002Fp>",{"question":29,"answer":30},"Are free sales intelligence tools good enough?","\u003Cp>They're good enough to test, not to run a team. RocketReach gives 5 lookups, Lusha 40 credits a month, and People Data Labs 100 credits a month with contact details hidden. Use them to run a small version of your job-changer test, then pay for the tool that passed it.\u003C\u002Fp>",["Island",32],{"key":33,"result":34},"BlogArticleBody_3LEB3a2xJN75qcRAK4tdwH2Aab2Qrjqm8m6phLGJdlA",{"head":35},{},1794223527517]
