Depth over breadth. 20 fields per credit, no daily caps.Seamless.AI scrapes contacts on demand with per-seat tiers and daily credit throttles. Kustiq returns a 20-field company profile per credit with SMTP-verified contacts, ICP scoring, and rule-based churn risk on every profile. Pro adds the churn dashboard with Stripe-grounded CLTV bands and a calibrated 90-day churn probability. No daily throttles, and seats aren't billed separately.
§1The short version
Kustiq differs from Seamless.AI in three ways most outbound teams notice on day one.
- Company intelligence per credit, not a single contact record. Kustiq returns a 20-field profile with verified contact, ICP score, and churn risk per credit. Seamless.AI returns one contact record per credit.
- Live SMTP verification, not pattern matching. Every Kustiq email is verified with a live RCPT TO handshake. Seamless.AI relies on email-pattern matching plus periodic validation.
- No per-seat fees, no daily credit caps. Kustiq Pro is $119/mo total for the team. Seamless.AI Basic starts around $147 per user per month, with daily credit throttles on lower tiers.
Search-volume vs scoring. Seamless wins on bulk-contact-search hours per day; the daily-cap motion is built around SDR call blocks. Kustiq wins on which-account-deserves-a-call. If you can't tell which side of that line your team sits on, run both in parallel for a month — the faster surface for your scoring question is the one to keep.

§6Other Seamless alternatives we compete with
§7Six questions, six intents
01 · Real?Is Kustiq a real Seamless.AI alternative?
Different products. Seamless does real-time contact search. Kustiq returns a 20-field profile per credit with a verified contact, ICP score, and churn risk. For company-level prioritization, pick Kustiq. For bulk contact search inside a static-record motion, Seamless does that better.
02 · Catch?What is the catch · why is Kustiq cheaper?
Kustiq doesn't sell per-contact reveals at the volume Seamless ships for. $0.15 to $0.30 per profile, billed only when generated. Where Kustiq breaks down: at 5,000+ contacts a month, Seamless's per-record economics are competitive.
03 · MigrateCan I migrate my Seamless.AI lists to Kustiq?
Export the company list from Seamless to CSV, drop the file into Targeted Outreach, and Kustiq re-profiles each company with a fresh ICP score, churn-risk signal, and SMTP-verified contact. Most teams migrate top accounts first and decide on Seamless renewal at the next cycle.
04 · MissingIs Kustiq missing anything Seamless.AI has?
Real-time bulk contact search at high volume is what Seamless does best. The daily-cap motion fits SDR teams that hammer the search interface during structured call blocks — the rhythm of the product is built around that shift pattern. Kustiq has neither feature and doesn't fit that workflow.
05 · PricingHow does Kustiq pricing compare to Seamless.AI at 5 seats?
Five seats on Seamless Basic is ~ $735 / mo · $8,820 / yr. Five users on Kustiq Pro is $119 / mo · $1,428 / yr, with no seat fee and no daily caps. Kustiq covers the team for under 17% of the Seamless bill, with company intelligence on top.
06 · Both?Can I use Kustiq and Seamless.AI together?
It works in a tiered motion. Kustiq scores companies and writes ICP-fit + churn-risk back to HubSpot. Seamless pulls additional contact depth at qualified accounts. Both can sync to the same CRM company records.
Profile a company free. No card, no scheduled call.
No throttle, no per-seat math. Drop a domain into /try; Kustiq returns the depth Seamless can't ship per credit. 3 profiles a week free, no card up front.
