Question 1

What's the difference between B2B contacts and homeowner data on CheapData?

Accepted Answer

Same platform, same credits, two record types. B2B contacts (168M+) are work emails, direct dials, titles, and tech stack — for sales teams. Homeowner records (79M+) are phone, email, age range, income, net worth, and ownership status — for wholesalers, investors, and direct-mail buyers. You toggle between them in search. Credits are interchangeable.

Question 2

How is CheapData cheaper than Apollo, ZoomInfo, PropStream, or BatchLeads?

Accepted Answer

We don't sell seats or annual contracts. You buy credits and spend them only when you unlock a record. Per-record pricing slides from $0.025 at Starter down to $0.005 at Scale — 10× to 30× cheaper than Apollo's $49+/seat, ZoomInfo's $15K/year, or PropStream's $99/mo plus per-unlock fees.

Question 3

Are emails and phones verified?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every work email is SMTP-verified before a credit is deducted. Direct dials are dial-tested. Homeowner phones are matched against TCPA-safe consumer datasets. Bounced emails or wrong numbers refund automatically — first 100 claims with no questions asked.

Question 4

What filters can I use to search?

Accepted Answer

B2B side: 65+ filters including title, seniority, department, location, industry, employee count, revenue, funding stage, tech stack, intent topics, hiring signals, and Scoops. Homeowner side: ZIP code, ownership status, has-phone / has-email match, age group, gender, income range, net worth, marital status. Filter before you spend a credit.

Question 5

Is there a free trial?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every signup gets 50 free record unlocks. No credit card required. Use them on B2B contacts, homeowner records, or a mix.

Question 6

How does pay-per-unlock pricing work?

Accepted Answer

Buy credits in packs — $25 for 1,000 (Starter), $100 for 10,000 (Growth), $1,000 for 200,000 (Scale). Credits never expire. A Basic record unlock is 1 credit (name, contact details, core attributes). A Premium B2B unlock is 6 credits (adds intent, mobile, Scoops, org chart). You pick per record. No seats, no minimums, no contracts.
