Zintlr in short

Zintlr is a contact-finder tool. You look up a person or a company and it shows phone numbers, professional and personal email addresses and company details. Look-ups are paid for with phone and email credits. According to its website it has "400M+ contacts and 70M+ companies", and it lists a "Premium Indian Database" without saying how many Indian contacts that holds. It has a Chrome extension and connects to CRMs.

Zintlr pricing is in US dollars. The pricing page lists a Pro plan at $69/month, billed annually, a Growth plan at $89/month, billed every 6 months, and an Enterprise plan at a custom price. The free plan gives 5 phone and 5 email credits. "Export Contact" is listed from the Growth plan up, and the API only on Enterprise.

It suits sales teams who know exactly whom they want to reach: a named founder, the purchase head of a listed manufacturer, the HR head of an IT company. Starleads is a different kind of service: ready-made Excel lists of Indian businesses and professionals by industry, state and city, at a fixed price per list.

Where Zintlr is the better choice

  • You know the person you want. Zintlr looks up a named contact's phone number and email. Starleads cannot look up one named executive: its lists are built by industry and place, and you get the people who are in them.
  • You research while you browse. Zintlr has a Chrome extension, so look-ups can fit into the research you already do online.
  • Your team lives in a CRM. Zintlr lists CRM integration, and an API on Enterprise. Starleads has neither: you download an Excel file and import it yourself.
  • You want to test on your own prospects. The free plan's 5 phone and 5 email credits work on people you choose. Starleads' free sample shows 60 contacts from a list, not the names you pick.

Where Starleads is the better choice

  • You want every business of one kind in a place. To reach all the dentists in Jaipur with a contact finder, you would first need each clinic's name, then spend a credit on each. A Starleads list starts from the businesses and gives you the whole set in one file.
  • You want a fixed price in rupees. ₹499 buys a whole list, whatever its size, and ₹1,999 an All-India list. There are no credits to run out and no plan billed every 6 or 12 months.
  • You want to see the data before you pay. Every list page shows 60 real contacts and the share of rows with a mobile, an email, an address and a contact name.
  • You want directors and business owners in bulk. Our CEOs, MDs & Directors list has 38,331 senior people in 224 cities, 83% of them with a mobile number. Or pick industries and cities yourself in the list builder.

The limits, plainly. Starleads' data is compiled from business directories and similar sources, so not every row has an email or a named person, and contact details change over time. Payment is by UPI or bank transfer only, confirmed by hand, with no card or gateway. There is no API or CRM integration, and the lists cover India only. Before promotional calls or SMS, read our DND check guide.

Our verdict

Pick Zintlr if you sell to a known set of companies and need the phone and email of particular people, especially if your team works in a CRM. Pick Starleads if you sell to many businesses of one kind, such as clinics, traders or owner-run firms in a city, and want the whole set in Excel for one rupee price. The two also work together: a list to find the businesses, and a contact finder for the few named people a list does not reach. Try Zintlr's free credits and a Starleads sample before paying for either.

Questions people ask

Is Zintlr free?

It has a free plan with 5 phone and 5 email credits. For more look-ups you need a paid plan: Pro, Growth or a custom Enterprise plan.

Is Zintlr good for Indian contacts?

Its website lists a "Premium Indian Database" but gives no count of Indian contacts, and we don't publish ratings of other services. The fairest test is your own: use the free credits on ten people you already know and see how many details are correct.

What is the best alternative to Zintlr in India?

It depends on the job. For named people, another contact finder such as EasyLeadz, Apollo.io or Lusha. For every business of one kind in a city or industry, a ready-made list such as a Starleads list.

Zintlr vs EasyLeadz: which is better?

Both are contact finders with a Chrome extension and a small free plan. EasyLeadz prices in rupees, with plans sized by the number of mobile numbers, and offers a director look-up by DIN or CIN; Zintlr prices in US dollars and lists company data alongside contacts. Test both free plans on the same ten names before you choose.
