Sep 19, 2025 | Blog, Sales and Marketing

What Is Data Visualization and Why Is It Crucial to Mitigate Risk

Over the past year, hundreds of former ZoomInfo customers have made the switch to Lead411. The trend is clear: organizations want the same quality (or better) data without the high costs, complex contracts, or unused features that often come with larger enterprise platforms.

This article highlights why so many companies are making the move, how easy the transition is, and the added value they’re discovering once on Lead411.


The Challenge With ZoomInfo

Many ZoomInfo customers we’ve spoken to share a similar story:

  • High Cost: Subscription levels can feel out of reach for mid-sized or scaling teams.

  • Complicated Contracts: Long-term commitments and early exit fees create friction.

  • Feature Overload: Paying for functions their teams rarely touch.

While ZoomInfo remains a known player in the market, more organizations are recognizing that they can get what they need — and more — without the overhead.


Why Customers Choose Lead411

1. Ease of Transition

Moving from ZoomInfo to Lead411 is straightforward. Our onboarding team helps import saved searches, replicate workflows, and train users on the platform in a matter of days — not weeks. Teams report being “fully comfortable” within the first week.

2. Affordability Without Sacrificing Quality

Lead411 offers transparent pricing designed for teams of all sizes. Customers consistently note that they’re saving 30–60% annually compared to their ZoomInfo contracts. More importantly, they’re not compromising on accuracy — our data is verified in real time, ensuring emails and direct dials are correct before outreach begins.

3. Comprehensive Data Coverage

Beyond verified contacts, Lead411 provides insights that ZoomInfo customers were often missing, including:

  • Growth Intent Triggers: Alerts when a company is expanding, hiring, or receiving funding.

  • Verified Direct Dials: Not just generic switchboard numbers.

  • Intent + Technographics: Know what technologies prospects use and when they’re in-market.

4. Added Features That Drive ROI

Lead411 includes features that ZoomInfo users frequently had to pay extra for:

  • Unlimited Search (no throttled queries or hidden caps).

  • CRM Integrations (seamless push into Salesforce, HubSpot, and more).

  • Automated Alerts (so reps never miss a new opportunity).


Case in Point: Customer Stories

  • A fast-growing SaaS company reduced spend by 45% after moving from ZoomInfo. Their SDR team found data accuracy to be equal, with added bonus alerts on hiring and funding triggers they hadn’t leveraged before.

  • A mid-market services firm cited the onboarding as “seamless” — their team was up and running in three days, compared to weeks of training when they first adopted ZoomInfo.

  • A national recruiting firm reported higher connect rates after making the switch, thanks to the accuracy of Lead411’s direct dials.

Switching data providers can feel daunting, but the reality is that hundreds of teams have already moved from ZoomInfo to Lead411 with minimal disruption — and in every case, they’re realizing faster ROI and better usability.

For many, the decision is less about “losing ZoomInfo” and more about gaining affordability, accuracy, and actionable insights without unnecessary complexity.
