Why Dropcontact is the best alternative to ContactOut
Dropcontact has developed its own email address search algorithms and its servers for verification. It is the only GDPR solution that does not use personal databases: fresh data guaranteed.
B2B email finder
and enrichment
The real-time generation of professional email addresses by our algorithms brings two main advantages.
Firstly, the data delivered is systematically up to date.
The obsolescence of the data stored in a database does not and will never impact Dropcontact's performance.
The second is that the information is delivered in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation.
Dropcontact algorithms generate up to 80% of business addresses from the company's full name and domain.
👉🏻 Discover Dropcontact Email Finder and Enrichment feature
ContactOut displays a database of +1.2 billion email addresses, retrieved or built-in in various ways.
For each query, ContactOut will provide the data contained in its contact database.
To maintain and guarantee fresh data, the solution must constantly scrape thousands of pieces of information from the web, or use third-party data providers.
A 100% GDPR compliant tool
The GDPR prohibits the resale of nominative data without the explicit consent of the person concerned.
ContactOut, to resell data stored in a database, has necessarily asked for the opt-in of the 1.2 billion people in its database... what do you think?
Dropcontact, thanks to its algorithm-based system, is the only solution that is 100% compliant with the current regulation.
We do not use any, yes any, personal data to add professional information.
Beyond the legal compliance, the real-time search allows us to deliver up-to-date information, systematically.
B2B emails verification
The test servers that Dropcontact has developed allow us to verify all the addresses provided.
The verification is included in the enrichment of the email address, for a validity rate of 98% (85% for catch-all domains).
👉🏻 Discover Dropcontact pro email verification
ContactOut only provides email addresses from a constituted database.
Contacts and companies duplicate merging
Thanks to its algorithms, Dropcontact can detect your duplicate contacts. Once identified, they are merged by Dropcontact to become one. Your data is qualitative and up to date.
👉🏻The duplicate contacts merging feature
ContactOut on the other hand is not able to detect your duplicate contacts.
CRM integration
When Dropcontact is integrated into your CRM, it checks, enriches, and corrects all contact, lead, and organization records. No human intervention is required to ensure that your CRM is up to date and that you have all the information you need for prospecting: email, LinkedIn profile, telephone, business sector, last published turnover...
Beyond consolidating all information, Dropcontact algorithms merge all duplicate records and retrieve information stored in signatures and email bounces from people you exchange with, to enrich your CRM ( 🔒 only yours).
