Pick a Scrape.Email tier without an assistant

Three lifetime tiers sit on the price list: Prospector, Agency and Enterprise. None of them charges you per month, which matters when your selling happens between client work and there is no assistant to absorb a subscription. Read each tier against the volume you actually expect to search and verify, not against the size of the tier name.

Filters by role, industry and location do the narrowing before you contact anyone. You set the definition of a right person once, save the leads that match, and return to that saved list instead of rebuilding it each week. For one founder aiming at twenty people a week, that saved definition is the part of the plan you will use most.

Contact enrichment and verification then run on the people you keep, so the address you send to has been checked rather than guessed. The tiers differ in what they allow you to do at volume, and the published list is the only place to compare them. Treat the names as capacity labels and match them to your own weekly count.

Start from your weekly number, not from the largest tier. If twenty right people a week is the target, count the searches and verifications that goal needs across a month, then find the tier on the published list that covers it with room for a quiet week. The smallest tier that fits is the one to buy.

Prospector is where a single founder usually begins, because the work is one person's pipeline rather than a shared client roster. Agency and Enterprise exist for heavier volume, and nothing in the brief says a solo founder needs them on day one. Choose the tier whose capacity matches your plan and leave the larger ones until your volume justifies them.

Your first week is the test. Set a filter for role, industry and location, scrape the public pages and profiles that match, enrich and verify the contacts, then send to the people you kept. If that loop produces your twenty, the tier is right. Setup is a session of defining filters and saving leads, not a project.

The main doubt is setup time, and the honest answer is that the first loop is filters plus a saved list, not a week of configuration. Still, check it yourself before you commit: run one narrow search, verify a handful of contacts, and see how long it takes to reach a sendable list. That test tells you more than any plan description.

Results depend on public data, so some niches return a thinner list than others. A sector that publishes little about its people will give you fewer usable leads, and no tier changes that. Before you pay, search your own target market and confirm the people you want actually surface.

Credits are used by successful work, and verification is a snapshot rather than a permanent guarantee. An address that checks out today can change later, so re-check saved contacts before a new campaign. Factor both into your volume estimate so a tier's capacity is not spent on work you have to repeat.

Compare Prospector with Agency by asking what extra volume buys you as one person. If your weekly twenty fits inside Prospector's capacity, the step up adds headroom you may not use for months. If your searches and verifications regularly exceed it, the next tier removes a ceiling that would otherwise interrupt your pipeline mid-quarter.

The same question applies to Enterprise. A solo founder weighing it should look at whether saved leads, API access and webhooks are work they will actually run. If you plan to push verified contacts into your own tools, those features matter. If you send by hand from a saved list, they may sit unused.

Weigh the tiers on capacity and on the features you will use, then decide once. Lifetime pricing means the choice is not easily reversed by cancelling a month, so pick the tier your current volume supports and revisit only when your pipeline genuinely outgrows it. That keeps the decision tied to your own numbers.
