Why Kustiq

What makes Kustiq different from LeadIQ

LeadIQ is a per-seat Chrome extension over a static contact database. Kustiq is per-credit company intelligence with no extension and no LinkedIn dependency.

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.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is Kustiq a LeadIQ alternative?
Yes, but the products solve different problems. LeadIQ is a Chrome extension that reveals contacts on top of LinkedIn Sales Navigator, with email and mobile credits priced separately. Kustiq is a company intelligence platform: paste a domain, get a 19-field profile with SMTP-verified contact, ICP score, and churn risk. If you want company-level intelligence rather than per-contact reveals on LinkedIn, Kustiq is the better fit.
How does LeadIQ pricing work in 2026?
LeadIQ has a free tier (20 verified emails/wk + 5 mobile credits/mo). Paid plans run roughly $45/user/mo (Essential) and $89/user/mo (Pro), with Enterprise on custom quoting. Mobile credits are typically billed separately at around $1.30 each, and entry-tier email-only credits are around $0.07. Per-seat pricing means costs scale with team size. Kustiq's $39/mo Insight and $119/mo Pro have no seat fees and no split credit pools.
Is LeadIQ cheaper than Apollo?
On a per-seat basis they're in the same ballpark: LeadIQ Pro is ~$89/user/mo, Apollo Professional is $99/user/mo. The real difference is what you get. Apollo bundles a 275M-record database with sequences and a dialer. LeadIQ is purpose-built for push-to-CRM from LinkedIn Sales Navigator with stronger North America email accuracy. Kustiq sidesteps the comparison entirely with credit-based pricing: $119/mo Pro covers a whole team for 400 full company profiles, and the same logic applies for ZoomInfo vs LeadIQ — LeadIQ wins on price and self-serve, ZoomInfo wins on database scale and intent data.
Can Kustiq replace LeadIQ?
For company-level intelligence, ICP scoring, churn risk, and prospect discovery, yes. Kustiq returns a 19-field profile with a SMTP-verified contact per credit, plus a 4-phase Targeted Outreach pipeline at $0.975 per qualified prospect. Where Kustiq doesn't replace LeadIQ is the in-extension push-to-CRM workflow on LinkedIn Sales Navigator. If your SDRs live in that exact flow and you need one-click reveals into Salesloft or Outreach.io, LeadIQ is purpose-built for that. If you want to qualify and prioritize companies before you reach out, Kustiq does that and LeadIQ doesn't.
