RocketReach alternatives: 6 tools, 15 of 19 crypto founders on X

By NAUT Research · · 6 min read

15 of 19 RocketReach alternatives top crypto founders with an X handle on NAUT, 5 rival tools checked on their own pages. Logos: Binance, OKX, Hamster Kombat, Blum, Dogecoin, Pi Network, Trust Wallet.

NAUT published this test of RocketReach alternatives for crypto contacts, with the criteria fixed before any scoring. NAUT tracks 5,177 live founder and CEO rows at crypto projects, and on 12 November 2026 its data showed an X handle for 15 and a Telegram handle for 10 of the 19 current founders it sampled at the most followed crypto companies. Of the 5 email tools NAUT checked on their own pages that day (Apollo, Hunter, Snov.io, Wiza and Skrapp), the Hunter and Apollo pages NAUT read do not mention Telegram, Snov.io, Wiza and Skrapp were not checked for it, and rival coverage of the same 19 founders was not tested because it needs a paid account.

How this test was built: the sample started from the 25 live people rows on NAUT titled founder, co-founder or CEO at a project, taken from the 9 companies with the most X followers, read from NAUT's database on 12 November 2026. 6 were then dropped: 2 whose stored title carries a former tag, 2 whose NAUT person page shows their current role at Warden rather than Binance, and 2 who are not listed on the linked company page (Ethereum and Bitget Wrapped BTC). That leaves 19 current founders and CEOs at 7 companies. Each was scored on 3 channels: an X handle, a Telegram handle and an email on file. Every rival fact comes from that rival's own page, read on 12 November 2026: 13 claims about the rivals were put to their pages, 11 were confirmed with the wording found, and the 2 that were not found are left out. Rival coverage on the 19 is not tested, since searching it needs a paid login. NAUT will retest prices and coverage on 12 February 2027.

Which RocketReach alternatives did NAUT check, and what do they cost?

NAUT read the pages of 6 contact tools on 12 November 2026. 4 rivals showed a paid price, Apollo showed its free plan with no paid price, and RocketReach returned no price values to NAUT's plain page fetch, so it is not scored here.

Tool Lowest paid plan Free tier
NAUT Essential, $49 a month Free plan, $0
Hunter Starter, $49 monthly, $34 yearly 50 credits a month
Snov.io Starter, $39 a month Trial
Wiza Starter, $49 per user Not confirmed
Skrapp Professional, $29 a month yearly Free, $0
Apollo No monthly price shown Free Starter plan

By the channels each page names: NAUT lists X, Telegram, email and LinkedIn; Hunter lists email; Snov.io lists email and LinkedIn sequences; Wiza and Apollo list emails and phone numbers; Skrapp lists emails from LinkedIn. NAUT's coverage on the 19 founders is X 15, Telegram 10 and email 2; the 5 rivals' coverage is not tested.

Hunter's page lists its Starter plan at "$49 $34 /month billed monthly", Snov.io says it "starts at $39", Wiza's top plan is "$199 per month, per user." and Skrapp shows "$29 $39 /month Billed annually". Apollo's page offers a "free Starter plan" with no paid price shown. Wiza and Skrapp both work from LinkedIn: Skrapp says it can "Find email addresses directly from LinkedIn profiles and Sales Navigator with a single click." A team weighing a RocketReach alternative for email alone can compare those 4 prices directly.
