The short answer

Research one account at a time, or a partner that works the whole market.

Both are good at finding out about companies. Perplexity does it one question at a time and ends at an answer. Leadspicker filters 70M+ companies at once, enriches the people inside and turns the result into a running campaign.

Key differences

Why sales teams add a partner, not another research tab.

Perplexity stays useful for account research. Here is what Leadspicker adds when the job is pipeline.

01

It does not stop at the answer

Perplexity ends at a cited answer or a report. Leadspicker turns the same question into a list, a sequence and a running campaign, inside one product.

02

Agents do the prospecting

Routines watch social networks, job portals and buying signals around the clock. New matches land in your list, enriched and ready for outreach.

03

Human in the loop

Edit, Plan or Auto: you see each step and approve what goes out. The agents work alongside your team, not instead of it.

04

Replies handled, two ways

The Reply Agent answers interested leads for you, or drafts the answer and you send it. The unified inbox sorts every reply by AI.

05

A database behind every prompt

70M+ companies and 500M+ people, waterfall enrichment and 190+ buying signals sit under the assistant, so an answer becomes a list, not a to-do.

06

Research at market scale

Instead of asking about one company, filter 70M+ companies by signals, lookalikes or hiring, and let custom AI columns research every lead on the list.

07

Nothing to glue together

A Perplexity sales setup needs a data tool, a sender, an enrichment tool and someone to move data between them. Leadspicker ships all of it in one plan.

08

Meeting prep included

Leadspicker prepares briefs from your Google Calendar before each meeting, so the research you would run by hand is already there.

09

More cost-effective

Data, signals, outreach, agents and inbox come in one plan with credits shared across the team, so you stop paying per user for a stack of tools.

How it works

How your AI sales partner works.

From your website to a running campaign, with no question to type.

01

It learns your company

Paste your website. Leadspicker scans it and drafts your offering, buyers, markets and competitors. You confirm in one step.

02

It prepares your plays

You get playbooks with a preview of matching people, and you see each step before anything runs.

03

Agents do the work

They build the list, enrich it, write the sequence and run the outreach. Choose Edit, Plan or Auto for how much they ask.

04

It keeps coming back

It remembers what worked and proposes the next step, in the app or in your Slack, Teams, WhatsApp or Google Chat.

Pricing

One plan, or a stack per rep.

A rep who sells with Perplexity still needs data and a sender: Perplexity Pro ~€15 plus Apollo Basic ~€44 plus Lemlist Multichannel ~€78 is ~€137/mo per rep, ~€685/mo for five, and nobody runs it for them. Leadspicker Growth is €479/mo billed annually for 10 team members, agents included. Units differ, so price the actions you really use.

FAQ

Questions buyers ask us

Is Leadspicker a replacement for Perplexity?

For sales, yes. Leadspicker covers the data, the outreach and the agents that run them, and researches every lead on a list with custom AI columns. For general research, keep Perplexity.

Can I prospect with Perplexity alone?

Perplexity answers questions and runs Deep Research, and its pricing page lists premium sources and 400+ connectors. It lists no contact database, no sending and no inbox. You add those as separate tools and run them yourself. Leadspicker ships all of it in one plan.

What does the DIY stack really cost?

At list prices, Perplexity Pro plus Apollo Basic plus Lemlist Multichannel is about ~€137 per rep per month, before anyone's time. Leadspicker Growth covers 10 team members for €479/mo billed annually.

Does Perplexity train on my data?

Its pricing page says Enterprise Pro and Enterprise Max do not use customer data to train models; the individual plans do not state it. In Leadspicker, every agent action is permissioned and logged in your own workspace.

How does Leadspicker research accounts?

Custom AI columns answer any question about every lead on a list, routines watch 190+ buying signals, and meeting prep builds a brief from your Google Calendar before each call.

Can I keep my CRM?

Yes. Leadspicker has native integrations with HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Attio, Zoho, Dynamics and Raynet.

Can I try Leadspicker first?
