Prospeo vs Wiza: The Honest 2026 Comparison
Your SDR team burned through this month's Wiza credits by week two. Now every extra email costs $0.15 on the monthly credit plans. The phone numbers you need? Those run $0.35 each. Meanwhile, you're still paying $80-$150/month for Sales Navigator just to get the most out of the Wiza workflow. When you stack up the real costs, the Prospeo vs Wiza comparison isn't particularly close.
30-Second Verdict
Prospeo wins for most B2B teams.
Wiza charges $0.15 per extra email on monthly plans - annual plans drop the per-email cost but lock you into yearly billing and still cap exports. Prospeo runs around $0.01 per email, delivers 98% verified accuracy, includes 125M+ mobile numbers, and works independently with no third-party platform subscription required. We've run the total cost of ownership math, and Prospeo comes in 75-80% cheaper.
Wiza makes sense if your entire workflow revolves around extracting contacts from a single professional network and you genuinely need nothing beyond that. For everyone else, the math isn't close.
Feature-by-Feature Comparison
| Feature | Prospeo | Wiza | Winner |
|---|---|---|---|
| Database size | 300M+ profiles | Not disclosed | Prospeo |
| Email accuracy | 98% verified | "Up to 99%" marketed | Prospeo |
| Verified mobiles | 125M+ | Included on some plans; $0.35/phone on others | Prospeo |
| Data refresh | 7 days | Not disclosed | Prospeo |
| Intent data | 15,000 Bombora topics | None | Prospeo |
| API access | Self-serve, all plans | Contact support to enable (included on Team) | Prospeo |
| Contract required | No | Annual billing required for "unlimited credits" tiers | Prospeo |
| Cost per email | ~$0.01 | $0.15 per extra email (monthly) | Prospeo |
| CRM integrations | Salesforce, HubSpot, Lemlist, Clay, more | CRM integrations available | Prospeo |
| API match rate | 92% | Not disclosed | Prospeo |
Prospeo sweeps every row. The intent data gap alone is worth calling out: tracking 15,000 topics through Bombora means you can filter for companies actively researching solutions in your space, then reach the right buyer with a verified email and direct dial in the same workflow. Wiza has nothing comparable - it's a contact extraction tool, full stop.
Here's the thing: Wiza isn't a bad product. It's a feature masquerading as a platform. If all you need is to pull emails from one professional network, it does that fine. But the moment you need mobile numbers, intent signals, enrichment, or API access without filing a support ticket - you've outgrown it.
Pricing Breakdown
Let's do the real math, because Wiza's pricing page looks reasonable until you factor in the full stack.
Wiza pricing:
| Plan | Monthly | Annual | Includes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | - | 20 emails + 5 phones |
| Starter | $49 | - | 100 emails + 100 phones |
| $99 | $83/mo ($990/yr) | 500 emails (monthly) / unlimited emails (annual) | |
| Email + Phone | $199 | $166/mo ($1,990/yr) | 500 emails + 500 phones (monthly) / unlimited (annual) |
| Team | - | Starting at $449/mo (annual) | 3+ users, unlimited emails + phones |
Those annual "unlimited credits" plans still cap exports at 30,000/year - roughly 2,500/month. Overages on monthly plans hit $0.15/email and $0.35/phone.
Prospeo pricing:
| Plan | Price | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0/mo | 75 verified emails + 100 Chrome extension credits/month |
| Starter | $49/mo | 2,000 credits |
| Growth | $99/mo | 5,000 credits |
| Pro | $199/mo | 20,000 credits |
| Business | $369/mo | 50,000 credits |
Now the total cost of ownership. Wiza's annual Email plan runs $990/year, but many teams also add Sales Navigator at ~$960-$1,800/year to maximize list building and filtering. That's $1,950-$2,790 per user per year just for emails.
Prospeo's Starter plan costs $588/year, works independently, and gives you 2,000 credits/month - compared to Wiza's annual "unlimited" plans that still cap exports at 30,000/year. That's 75-80% less when you factor in the full stack. We've seen teams reallocate that savings into actual outreach tooling, which is a much better use of budget.
Wiza's annual plans still cap exports at 30K/year and charge $0.35/phone. Prospeo gives you 300M+ profiles, 125M+ verified mobiles, and intent data across 15,000 topics - all at ~$0.01/email with no contract lock-in.
Cut your data costs by 75% and never run out of credits mid-month again.
Stack Optimize built a $1M agency on Prospeo with sub-3% bounce rates and zero domain flags. Snyk's 50 AEs dropped bounces from 40% to under 5%. That's what 98% accuracy and a 7-day refresh cycle deliver at scale.
Stop paying Wiza prices for contact-extraction when you need a real data platform.
Data Quality and Accuracy
Prospeo runs a 5-step verification process with proprietary email-finding infrastructure - it doesn't depend on third-party email providers or a single platform for its data. The 300M+ profile database refreshes every 7 days, about 6x faster than the industry average of six weeks.
In practice, that accuracy gap is dramatic. When Snyk's 50-person AE team switched, their bounce rates dropped from 35-40% to under 5%, and AE-sourced pipeline jumped 180%. That's not a marginal improvement - it's the difference between an outbound program that works and one that's slowly torching your domain reputation.
Mobile coverage spans 125M+ verified numbers with a 30% pickup rate across all regions, including LATAM and APAC where most competitors have massive blind spots.
Wiza markets "100% verified" and "Zero bounces," but the reality is messier. On G2, "Inaccurate Data" shows up as a recurring con tag despite those marketing claims. One Capterra reviewer put it bluntly: "Not enough emails and phones... takes forever to show you the information."
There's also the platform dependency risk that nobody talks about enough. Tools that extract directly from professional networks can trigger account restrictions when activity looks automated. An independent database sidesteps that concern entirely.
What Real Users Say
Wiza carries a 4.5/5 on G2 (1,143 reviews) and 4.3/5 on Capterra (24 reviews). Users praise ease of use and professional network integration. Complaints cluster around credit limits, cost at scale, and data gaps. One Capterra reviewer noted that "$83 per month is a little pricey" unless you're using it consistently.
On r/coldemail, a user described a rough experience with Wiza while stuck in an annual contract - including losing thousands of credits to a bug - and they're now actively evaluating alternatives. Annual-contract regret shows up regularly in those threads. Prospeo's approach (self-serve, no contracts, cancel anytime) eliminates the billing friction that generates those complaints.
For a real-world proof point on the other side: Stack Optimize built from $0 to $1M ARR using Prospeo with client deliverability above 94% and sub-3% bounce rates under 3%. Zero domain flags across all their clients. That kind of consistency at scale is what separates a data source from a data problem.
Who Should Pick Which
Pick Prospeo if you need verified emails and mobiles at scale, want self-serve API access without contacting support, care about cost per lead, don't want to pay for a separate platform subscription, or need intent data and advanced search filters. It's the stronger choice for outbound teams, agencies running multi-client campaigns, and RevOps teams building enrichment workflows through API or CRM integrations.
Pick Wiza if your entire workflow starts and ends with extracting contacts from one professional network and you genuinely need nothing beyond that. Skip it if you're doing high-volume outbound - you'll hit the export caps faster than you'd expect.
That second list is short for a reason. Wiza does one thing. For most outbound teams comparing these two tools in 2026, the decision comes down to whether you want a single-purpose scraper or a full B2B data platform. The pricing gap makes it hard to justify the scraper.
FAQ
Is Wiza's unlimited plan really unlimited?
No. Annual "unlimited credits" plans cap exports at 30,000/year - about 2,500/month. Once you hit the cap, you can't export more under that allowance. Teams doing high-volume outbound will hit this ceiling fast, and there's no overage option on those plans.
Does Prospeo require a separate platform subscription?
No. Prospeo has its own 300M+ profile database with 30+ search filters. You search, verify, and export contacts entirely within the platform. If your current workflow depends on Sales Navigator, that's a $960-$1,800/year savings right there.
Which tool has better mobile number coverage?
Prospeo offers 125M+ verified mobile numbers with a 30% pickup rate across all regions, included in standard credit pricing at 10 credits per number. Wiza includes phone numbers on some plans and charges $0.35 per number on others, with no publicly disclosed database size. In our experience, the coverage gap is especially noticeable outside North America.
Can I try Prospeo before committing?
Yes. The free tier includes 75 verified emails and 100 Chrome extension credits per month - no credit card or contract required. Wiza's free plan gives you 20 emails and 5 phones, which is barely enough to test anything meaningful.
