How much does the port587 leads database cost?

port587 uses pay-per-lead pricing with no subscriptions. Credits start at $49 for 1,000 leads (~$0.049/lead) and go down to ~$0.02/lead at agency volume (50,000+). Credits never expire, and you only pay when you export contact data.

Where does the data come from?

Leads are sourced from publicly available business directories, LinkedIn, and verified B2B data providers. All data is regularly cleaned, deduplicated, and validated through automated email verification and website enrichment.

How is port587 different from Apollo or ZoomInfo?

port587 is a pure data layer, not an all-in-one platform. You pay only for the leads you export (no seat-based subscriptions), use your own outbound tools, and own your data in CSV or JSON format. Unlike Apollo and ZoomInfo, there are no forced bundles of sequencing, CRM, or calling features.

No. Credits never expire. You buy them once and use them whenever you need to export leads.

Yes. You can create an API key from your dashboard and integrate lead search directly into your tools and workflows via the REST API.

What formats can I export?

Leads can be exported as CSV or JSON, ready for import into any CRM, enrichment tool, or spreadsheet.

What is the difference between B2B SaaS leads and generic B2B databases?

B2B SaaS leads are companies that sell subscription software to other businesses. A generic B2B database lists any business with a tax ID and a website — mixing SaaS companies with agencies, manufacturers, ecommerce brands, and local service businesses. For outbound teams focused on SaaS, a SaaS-only dataset reduces waste by eliminating obviously wrong accounts before outreach begins.

Why does generic B2B data hurt SaaS outbound?

On a typical 10,000-company export from a generic B2B tool, only 10–20% are plausibly B2B SaaS. This leads to lower reply rates, more 'not relevant' responses, and sales time wasted triaging obviously wrong accounts instead of having qualified conversations.

When should I use a SaaS-only database vs a generic B2B tool?

A SaaS-only database is the better choice when your entire ICP is B2B SaaS, you already have a working outbound stack, and you care about unit economics per qualified opportunity. Generic tools make more sense when you sell horizontally to many business types or you're still exploring which segments respond best.

B2B SaaS Leads vs Generic B2B Databases

Q: What is a B2B SaaS leads database?

A B2B SaaS leads database is a searchable collection of verified software-as-a-service companies with contact information, firmographic data, and technology signals. port587's database contains over 100,000 verified B2B SaaS companies that can be filtered by industry, geography, company size, revenue, and funding stage.

1. What counts as a B2B SaaS lead?

A B2B SaaS lead typically has:

A product sold on a recurring subscription model.
Business customers, not consumers.
A self-serve or sales-led funnel with demos, trials, or "book a call."
SaaS-style pricing - per seat, per usage, or per account.
A stack of familiar tools and integrations (Stripe, HubSpot, Salesforce, Segment, etc.).

In a generic B2B database, these companies are mixed in with:

Local service businesses
Agencies and consultancies
Manufacturers and distributors
Ecommerce brands and marketplaces
Government, education, and NGOs

Outbound teams then spend cycles excluding 80-90% of the universe before they get to relevant accounts.

2. Why generic B2B data hurts SaaS outbound

For SaaS-only teams, generic B2B data tends to show up in metrics as:

Low reply rates - because a big chunk of the list simply is not a fit.
High "not relevant" replies - prospects tell you "we don't do SaaS" or "this isn't for us."
Sales time wasted on triage - reps and founders spend time qualifying out obviously wrong accounts.

On a 10,000-company export from a generic tool, it is common to find that only 10-20% are even plausibly B2B SaaS. If your team sends 50,000 emails per quarter, that can mean tens of thousands of touches into the wrong segment.

By contrast, when you start from a B2B SaaS-only corpus, teams typically see lists where 70-90% of the companies are at least directionally on-segment, fewer "wasted" domains in warmup and deliverability, and cleaner feedback loops - bad performance is more likely due to offer or messaging, not list quality.

3. When a SaaS-only database makes sense vs a generic tool

A B2B SaaS-only database like port587 is usually the better choice when:

Your entire ICP is B2B SaaS companies.
You already have a working outbound stack and just need clean SaaS-only data.
You care about unit economics per qualified opportunity rather than raw send volume.

Generic B2B tools can still make sense when:

You sell horizontal services (payments, telecoms, logistics) to many business types.
You're early and still exploring which segments respond best.
You want very broad TAM mapping, not just SaaS.

If your core motion is "we help B2B SaaS companies do X," a SaaS-only database is usually the shortest path between strategy ("sell to SaaS") and execution (who to email tomorrow).

4. How port587 fits into this picture

port587 exists specifically to provide B2B SaaS-only company data:

Every record is a SaaS company - not "any B2B business."
Filters are designed around SaaS ICP realities: size, funding, go-to-market motion, category, and tech stack.
You pay per lead you export, not for a bloated all-in-one platform.

To compare this directly to your current generic database, run a simple test:

Take a small sample from your existing tool.
Pull a comparable sample from the port587 B2B SaaS database.
Run the same sequence to both lists.
Compare reply rate, positive reply rate, and cost per qualified conversation.
