Looking for a ZoomInfo alternative
What Riftjaw does differently, in plain terms, so you can judge it yourself.
Last checked 30 September 2026
Enterprise data or a tool you can start today
According to their public website at the time of writing, ZoomInfo is a large B2B data platform aimed at sales, marketing and recruiting teams, with company and contact data, integrations and pricing arranged through their sales team.
For a sales department with a budget and a CRM team behind it, that model works. For a freelancer, a small agency or a local service business, the questions are different. Can I start this afternoon? Can I see the price before I talk to anyone? Can I stop next month if it does not work out?
Riftjaw answers those with yes. You create an account, bring the lists you already have and start working them. There is a free plan, a Pro plan and an Agency plan, and you can cancel any time.
- 4 steps from file to records
- 0 credits per record
- 3 plans, all listed publicly
- 100% of your data exportable as CSV

When Riftjaw fits better
You are one person or a small team
Freelancers and small agencies can start free and move to Pro when the first list works. Unlimited users on an account, so adding a colleague costs nothing, and every campaign shows who sent it.
Riftjaw for freelancers
Your customers are local
Plumbers, shops, clinics and offices in your region are easy to collect from public listings. Riftjaw gives those lists structure, status and a way to reach them.
Riftjaw for local services
You want the database to be yours
Your records sit on your account's own private server, with source and date per record. You keep them when you leave.
How your data is kept
You want to reach them too
Segments and email campaigns are part of every plan. You do not need a second tool to send the first mail.
How campaigns work
When ZoomInfo is the better choice
You need coverage you cannot collect
If your team needs data on thousands of companies and people it has never heard of, a data platform provides that. Riftjaw contains only what you put in.
You run an enterprise stack
Large sales teams with a central CRM and strict processes often want a data provider that plugs into all of it.
You want a vendor team
Onboarding, account management and contract negotiation suit organisations that buy software that way.
Moving data you licensed
Check your ZoomInfo agreement first: licensed data may come with rules on how long and where you may keep it. Then export the records your agreement allows you to keep as CSV, using the export options in your ZoomInfo account.

No. It is a different kind of product. ZoomInfo provides data. Riftjaw is where you keep, clean and work data you collect yourself. If you need purchased data, you still need a provider for that.
From public listings, directories, trade fairs, scraper exports and your own network. Our guide on collecting from public listings shows how.
No. Plans are monthly or yearly and you can cancel any time. You can start without a credit card.
Every record keeps its source and date, unsubscribed contacts are never mailed again and you can export or delete on request. Read more on our GDPR page. This is not legal advice.
