Prospeo or an Apify Actor? A B2B contact database vs the contacts a company publishes itself
Partner programme opening soon: join the free waitlist. Planned terms are 50% of each referred sale (75% once you have 5+ paying customers), single level, paid through Gumroad only from revenue received.
Short answer: They answer different questions. Prospeo is a B2B contact database and enrichment tool: you search people and companies with filters (28 to 41 depending on plan), find verified work emails and direct mobile numbers, and sync to a CRM. Its pricing page (checked 25 Oct 2026) shows a Free plan with 100 credits a month and paid plans per user: Starter $49 a month (2,000 credits), Growth $99 (5,000) and Pro $249 (15,000), or 25% off billed yearly ($441, $888 and $2,241 a year with all credits upfront). One verified email costs 1 credit, a mobile number 10 credits, and credits do not roll over. Our Website Contact Scraper on Apify is not a database: it reads each company's own website and returns the role emails, phone numbers, WhatsApp numbers and social links that site publishes, with the page each came from. It is free during launch; you pay only Apify platform usage. If you need named decision-makers by job title, pick Prospeo. If you already have a list of company websites and want what each business publishes, try ours.
The pain this page is about
“I have a list of 400 small-business websites from Google Maps. I don't need the CFO's mobile number; I need the shop's own email and WhatsApp so I can ask one simple question.” A contact database starts from people and filters. A website contact scraper starts from the websites you already have. Pick by where your list starts.

Who should pick Prospeo instead
- You sell to named roles (heads of sales, founders, HR managers) and need their verified work email or mobile.
- You build lists from filters, not from websites you already have.
- Your team wants CRM sync, job-change tracking and intent topics in one account.
Who our Actor fits better
- You already have the websites (from Google Maps, a directory or a trade fair list) and want each business's own published contacts.
- You need phones and WhatsApp numbers that small businesses put on their own sites.
- You want the source page for every detail, which makes it easier to explain where you got it under India's DPDP Act or the GDPR.

Try it on five of your own websites first
Actor fee: free during launch · you pay only Apify platform usage
The Website Contact Scraper: Emails, Phones & WhatsApp is a pay-per-usage Actor on Apify. Apify's own docs explain the model: you pay only for the platform resources the run uses, with no extra charge from the developer (Apify docs). Apify's free plan is $0 and includes $5 of platform usage a month, with no credit card (apify.com/pricing). We do not quote a cost per 1,000 sites, because it depends on the sites; Apify suggests a small test run to measure it. Sites that block bots, disallow crawling or forbid scraping in their terms are skipped and not charged. Built and published by Unadhi (disclosure).
