Who Vatengi is generally not for
We'd rather tell you upfront than waste your trial credits.
- —You need a Chrome extension for two-click LinkedIn reveals — we're workspace-first today.
- —You need the largest global database and don't care how verification works under the hood.
- —You're a 500-seat enterprise buying through procurement with custom MSAs and dedicated CSMs.
- —You want cold email sending at scale as the core product — Instantly and SalesHandy own that layer.
- —You want to waterfall 15 enrichment APIs in a spreadsheet — Clay and Databar own that layer.
- —You need EU mobile numbers with GDPR packaging as the primary value — Cognism territory.
- ✓You're a 3–25 person agile outbound team bleeding time on bounced emails.
- ✓You want to search free and reveal on verified SMTP, not prepay for a black-box database.
- ✓You need lists, CRM push, job-change alerts, and account signals without five subscriptions.
- ✓You want monthly self-serve pricing starting at $39, not an annual enterprise commit.
