THE REAL DIFFERENCE

Search a B2B contact database yourself, or outsource lead list building?

The biggest difference isn’t the data. It’s who spends the time finding it. Salesforce’s 2026 State of Sales report found the average seller spends 40% of their time selling. Filtering a database and cleaning exports competes for the rest.

WITH A SUBSCRIPTION

Your team searches the platform

  1. Each user gets a seat, often with a credit allowance.
  2. Reps filter the shared database for matching contacts.
  3. Exports or reveals use credits, depending on the plan.
  4. Contacts go into sequences, the dialer or your CRM.
WITH CLEAN ROWS

We research to your brief

  1. You describe the audience and exclusions once.
  2. You review a 100-lead sample before paying.
  3. We source the full list fresh and check it.
  4. You receive a CSV or Google Sheet to use anywhere.

How Clean Rows compares with a B2B data subscription

Subscription platforms differ in price, credits and features, so treat this as a guide to the two models, not a quote. A subscription includes far more software; Clean Rows only supplies the list.

CHOOSING HONESTLY

When a data subscription fits, and when a custom B2B lead list does

Many teams are better served by a subscription. A delivered list fits a narrower set of situations, and it helps to know which one you’re in.

A subscription may fit better if

  • Your reps prospect every day and want to search for themselves
  • You want data, sequences and pipeline in one place
  • You rely on intent signals or ongoing CRM enrichment
  • Many people need access to the same database

A delivered list may fit if

  • You need one defined list for a campaign, not a platform
  • Nobody has time to search, filter and clean exports
  • You’d rather pay per list than per seat each month
  • You run campaigns for agency clients from separate lists

WHAT CLEAN ROWS DOES NOT PROVIDE

A B2B lead list, not a sales platform

Clean Rows has no searchable database, sequencing, dialer, intent data, tech-stack enrichment or live CRM sync. A delivered list does not guarantee inbox placement, replies or meetings. See what’s in the file and package pricing.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS

Questions about B2B data subscriptions and delivered lists

Have a more specific brief? Ask us directly.

What is a B2B data subscription?

A B2B data subscription is software that gives your team access to a shared B2B contact database. Users search it, export or reveal contacts with credits, and usually pay per seat or on an annual contract.

Is Clean Rows cheaper than a B2B data subscription?

It depends on how you use data. Subscriptions usually charge per seat, often with credit limits; Clean Rows charges once per list, from $25 for 1,000 leads. Compare the total cost for your team size, volume and how often you need new contacts.

Does Clean Rows have a database my team can search?

No. Clean Rows is a managed service: we research contacts to your brief when you order and deliver a file. There is no platform to log into or search.

How fresh is the data in a Clean Rows list?

Each list is sourced when you order. We research contacts against your ICP at that point and check business emails before delivery, rather than exporting records from a pre-built database.

Does Clean Rows include sequences or a dialer?

No. Clean Rows delivers the list only. You run outreach in the email, calling or CRM tools you already use.

Can I use a Clean Rows list alongside a subscription platform?

Yes. Clean Rows delivers a standard CSV or Google Sheet. Check the import requirements of whichever tool you plan to use it in.
