Why Kustiq
What makes Kustiq different from LeadIQ
Company intelligence, not just contacts
19 strategic fields per company including business model, growth signals, competitive positioning, and 88-segment classification. LeadIQ returns contact records, nothing about the company itself.
Live SMTP verification, no split-pricing
Every Kustiq email goes through a live SMTP RCPT TO handshake before delivery. LeadIQ charges email and mobile separately, with mobile credits at roughly $1.30 each on most tiers.
Churn dashboard + Stripe-grounded CLTV, ICP scoring
Every profile flags churn risk via a 12-factor rule engine and scores ICP fit 0-100. Pro adds a calibrated 90-day churn probability and Stripe-grounded CLTV bands per customer. LeadIQ has no churn prediction and no ICP scoring beyond search filters.
No per-seat pricing, no extension required
Kustiq uses credits with no seat fees, paste a domain or use the API. LeadIQ charges per user starting at ~$45/user/mo and the workflow assumes you live inside LinkedIn Sales Navigator.
