LimeLeads is a straightforward US-focused B2B lead database — search by title, industry, and location, export verified contacts, and move on. If you just need a one-time list, it's simple and affordable. If you need live enrichment, AI-powered search, and per-prospect outreach assets, LimeLeads stops at the CSV export.

Not "we're better at everything" — here are the four concrete problems agency owners and vertical-SaaS founders have called out, with what changes when you switch.
LimeLeads is a list-export tool — you search by title, industry, and location, then download a CSV of verified contacts. For teams that need a one-time list to load into their CRM or email tool, that workflow is simple and functional.
ProspectUp is an end-to-end prospecting platform. You search 13.7M US businesses with 80+ filter dimensions or plain-English queries, every saved lead is enriched with 50+ signals (website audit, Maps rank, review data, owner contact), and 6 branded outreach assets are generated per prospect. The leads stay live in the platform — not frozen in a CSV the moment you download them.
LimeLeads answers 'give me a list of contacts.' ProspectUp answers 'which businesses should I sell to, what should I send them, and when should I follow up?'
See the AI prospect searchLimeLeads refreshes its database every 90 days — reasonable for a list provider, but contact data decays faster than that. Job changes, phone number changes, and business closures happen weekly. A CSV exported today starts aging immediately.
ProspectUp re-crawls all 13.7M records monthly and re-enriches every lead live on save. When you open a lead record, you're seeing current data — not a quarterly snapshot. For agencies running ongoing prospecting campaigns, this difference compounds over time.
See the live enrichment pipelineLimeLeads gives you a name, title, email, phone, and basic company data. That's a starting point for a generic outreach email. For SMB owners who receive dozens of templated sales emails daily, a generic email from a generic list isn't enough.
ProspectUp generates six asset types per saved prospect — a scan report with real PageSpeed and Maps data, an instant website mockup, a personalized postcard, a voice AI demo, a social post series, and custom assets. Each asset is proof that you looked at their specific business. That proof is the difference between 'delete' and 'reply.'
See the scan reportsIf you need a simple, affordable one-time contact list — US B2B contacts filtered by title, industry, and location, exported as CSV — LimeLeads is straightforward and well-priced. The credit-based model (starting at $99/mo) is easy to understand, verified contacts don't cost credits if they fail verification, and there's no platform complexity to learn. For teams that already have their outreach stack and just need fresh contact data to feed into it, LimeLeads does that job efficiently.
If you need ongoing prospecting with live enrichment, AI-powered search, and per-prospect outreach assets — LimeLeads' CSV-export model leaves the hardest parts of prospecting to you. That's where ProspectUp's full-stack approach wins.
Yes. Import your LimeLeads export and we'll match each contact against our 13.7M business index, attach the full ProspectUp enrichment (website audit, Maps data, owner contact), and generate 6 outreach assets per lead. This is a common migration path for teams outgrowing static list providers.
LimeLeads' Pro plan is $99/mo with credits at $0.10 each for additional contacts. ProspectUp's $1/lead includes full enrichment (50+ signals) and 6 branded outreach assets per lead. Per-contact, LimeLeads is cheaper for raw data. Per-prospect-ready-to-send, ProspectUp includes dramatically more value per dollar.
LimeLeads claims 98%+ accuracy on verified contacts and verifies emails at export time. ProspectUp verifies owner emails on save with a sub-5% bounce rate. Both verify data, but ProspectUp also enriches with 50+ operating signals (website audit, Maps rank, review health) that LimeLeads doesn't include.
No. LimeLeads is CSV-export only — you download a file and manually import it into your CRM. ProspectUp integrates natively with HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Close, and Zapier for direct push.
No. LimeLeads is a contact list provider — it exports names, emails, phones, and basic firmographics. ProspectUp generates 6 branded asset types per prospect (scan reports, website mockups, postcards, voice demos, social posts, custom assets) that serve as proof in your outreach.
For a single list pull — say, 1,000 restaurants in Phoenix for a one-time campaign — LimeLeads' credit model may be more cost-effective if you only need contact data. For ongoing prospecting with live data and per-prospect assets, ProspectUp's model pays for itself through higher response rates on outreach.
