More credits, more data types, API-first
ContactOut is a Chrome extension for finding emails and phone numbers on LinkedIn. Enrich offers dramatically more credits, a full API suite, and additional enrichment types. For teams that need programmatic enrichment at scale, Enrich provides far better value.
ContactOut is a contact finding tool built around a Chrome extension for LinkedIn and GitHub. The platform reveals personal and work email addresses, phone numbers, and social profiles directly on LinkedIn profiles. ContactOut claims a database of 300 million professionals and is used by recruiters and sales teams.
The platform is particularly strong for recruiting use cases, as it finds personal email addresses in addition to work emails. ContactOut integrates with ATS platforms and CRMs. Their Chrome extension has strong adoption among technical recruiters who prospect on LinkedIn and GitHub.

ContactOut is particularly strong for technical recruiting. The Chrome extension works on both LinkedIn and GitHub, finding personal email addresses that other tools miss. The Recruiter plan specifically targets personal emails, which is valuable for reaching candidates who do not check work email. If you are a recruiter who needs personal emails from GitHub profiles, ContactOut has a genuine advantage.
ContactOut is built around its Chrome extension for manual prospecting on LinkedIn and GitHub. Enrich is built as an API for programmatic enrichment. These are fundamentally different approaches. ContactOut is better for individual reps browsing profiles. Enrich is better for automated workflows, CRM enrichment, and bulk processing.
ContactOut's credit system is restrictive. The Sales plan includes 6,000 work emails and 600 phone numbers per year. That is 500 emails and 50 phone numbers per month. A sales team can exhaust these limits in a few days of active prospecting. Enrich's Growth Pack provides 100,000 credits monthly with no separate phone or email limits.
ContactOut Sales gives 500 emails/month for $79/mo. Enrich gives 10,000+ email lookups for $49/mo. Dramatically better value.
ContactOut restricts API access to the Team plan (custom pricing). Enrich includes full REST API on every plan, including free.
Enrich offers email finding, validation, phone lookup, reverse email lookup, and lead finder. ContactOut focuses on email and phone reveal via Chrome extension.
ContactOut charges per user. Enrich's credit packs serve the entire team at one price.
