Technographic Data + Contact Finder (ZoomInfo Subsidiary) Datanyze Review: Is It Still Worth It in 2026?
Datanyze is a budget technographic data and contact finder Chrome extension, now a ZoomInfo subsidiary, best for solo founders and small teams needing technographic data on a tight budget. Nyze Lite is free with 10 credits/mo for 90 days, and Pro 1 costs $21/mo billed annually. Skip it if you need a large contact database, deep technographic coverage, or prospects outside the US.
The budget technographic data tool. Founded in 2012 in San Mateo, acquired by ZoomInfo in 2018, Datanyze combines technographic intelligence (which tools companies use) + contact-finder Chrome extension at exceptionally affordable pricing - Pro 1 at $21/mo annual. The pitch: technographic data + contact info on LinkedIn profiles for less than dinner-out money. The catch: contact DB is just 48M (vs ZoomInfo's 280M+), customer support has deteriorated since the ZoomInfo acquisition, BuiltWith covers more technologies with more detail, and tight credit caps mean teams outgrow it quickly.
- You're a solo founder or 1-3 person team with a tight technographic data budget
- You need US-focused contact data + technographic insights in one Chrome extension
- You can tolerate the small contact DB (48M) and tight credit caps
- You need a comprehensive contact database (Datanyze is 1/6th the size of ZoomInfo)
- You need detailed technographic data (BuiltWith covers more technologies in more depth)
- You're prospecting outside the US or in niche industries (gaps are frequent)

Overview
What is Datanyze?
Datanyze is the budget technographic data + contact finder Chrome extension (now ZoomInfo subsidiary), founded in 2012 in San Mateo, California. Acquired by ZoomInfo in 2018, Datanyze now operates as ZoomInfo's budget-tier offering - combining technographic data (which CRMs, marketing automation tools, analytics platforms, ecommerce software, hosting providers a company uses) with a contact-finder Chrome extension that surfaces emails + direct dials + mobile numbers from LinkedIn profiles and company websites.
The modern Datanyze covers ~120M total contacts, 84M email addresses, and 48M direct dial numbers - meaningfully smaller than ZoomInfo's 280M+ enterprise database. The credit-based pricing ($21/mo Pro 1 annual for 80 credits/mo, $55/mo Pro 2 for 160 credits) targets solo founders and very small teams (1-3 reps) who need technographic data on a tight budget. For broader use cases, the small DB + tight credit caps push most teams to outgrow Datanyze quickly.
Pricing
Datanyze Plans & Pricing
Prices below from datanyze.com/pricing (May 2026). Annual billing yields 30% discount on Pro tiers. 1 credit reveals one complete contact (professional email or direct dial/mobile phone number). Free Lite is 90-day-limited at 10 credits/mo.

| Nyze Lite (Free) | $0 | 90-day evaluation | 10 credits/mo for 90 days, basic technographic data, Chrome extension, requires business email |
| Pro 1 | $21/mo (annual) / $29 monthly | Solo founders on a budget | 80 credits/mo monthly · 960 credits/yr annual (immediately available), basic technographic + contact data via Chrome ext |
| Pro 2 | $55/mo monthly | Active solo SDRs needing more credits | 160 credits/mo, all Pro 1 features at higher allocation |
Hidden costs to know about
Customer support has deteriorated since the ZoomInfo acquisition - multiple G2 reviewers report slow response times and unhelpful interactions. The contact database is significantly smaller than competitors - 120M contacts, 84M emails, and 48M direct dials vs ZoomInfo's 280M+ or Apollo's 275M+. For prospecting outside the US or in niche industries, dead ends are frequent. Tight credit caps (80-160 credits/mo) mean teams outgrow it quickly - the upgrade path is essentially 'buy ZoomInfo' which is 100x the price.
Is Datanyze fair value?
For solo founders and very small teams (1-3 reps) doing low-volume US-focused prospecting who specifically need technographic data on a tight budget, Datanyze Pro 1 at $21/mo annual is fair - you can't find technographic data + contact info combined at this price elsewhere. For broader contact data needs, Apollo's free tier (50 credits/mo + 275M contact DB) is meaningfully better. For deeper technographic intelligence, BuiltWith covers more tech categories with more detail. The narrow 'technographic + contact bundle on a budget' use case is genuinely Datanyze's only sweet spot.
Verdict in detail
Datanyze Pros & Cons - Summary That Actually Helps You Decide
Based on G2 reviews (4.2/5), Capterra reviews (4.1/5), and 2026 testing from SyncGTM, ProSpeo and Derrick.
Cheapest meaningful technographic + contact bundle
Pro 1 at $21/mo annual ($29 monthly) for 80 credits/mo of combined technographic data + contact info is exceptionally cheap. No other tool bundles 'which CRMs/marketing tools a company uses' with 'verified emails + direct dials + mobile numbers' at this price tier. For solo founders specifically needing technographic intelligence to prospect tech-stack-based ICP, the bundle value is real.
Strong technographic intelligence (90%+ accuracy claim)
Datanyze scans company websites and public infrastructure to identify which technologies are in use - detecting CRMs, marketing automation tools, analytics platforms, ecommerce software, hosting providers, and hundreds of other categories. Reviewers consistently praise the high data accuracy of Datanyze, exceeding 90% in user experience for the technographic component.
Intuitive Chrome extension UX
G2 reviews specifically commend Datanyze's user interface for its intuitive design. The Chrome extension surfaces technographic + contact data directly from LinkedIn profiles and company websites without leaving the browser. UX polish is unusual at this price tier - most $21/mo tools have meaningfully clunkier interfaces.
Free 90-day Lite tier for evaluation
Nyze Lite at $0 with 10 credits/mo for 90 days is a meaningful evaluation tier - enough credits to test technographic + contact accuracy on real prospects before committing. Combined with the cheap Pro 1 entry, the evaluation-to-commitment friction is among the lowest in the contact-data category.
Small contact database (48M vs ZoomInfo 280M+)
Datanyze's database covers roughly 48 million contacts and 120 million email addresses - significantly smaller than most competitors. ZoomInfo's enterprise tier covers 280M+ contacts; Apollo covers 275M+. For prospecting outside the US sweet spot or targeting niche industries, you'll hit dead ends regularly. The small DB is the structural constraint that makes Datanyze a 'budget tool' rather than a serious contact-data platform.
Customer support deteriorated since ZoomInfo acquisition
Multiple 2025-2026 G2 reviewers report slow response times and unhelpful customer service interactions - meaningful deterioration since the 2018 ZoomInfo acquisition. Datanyze appears to be deprioritized within ZoomInfo's portfolio (ZoomInfo enterprise customers get the dedicated CSMs; Datanyze users get the queue). For trust-sensitive billing or technical issues, support friction is real.
Outdated contacts (data freshness issues)
Sometimes Datanyze has outdated information - contacts that are no longer with an organization, stale phone numbers, etc. The contact database has documented freshness issues, with the smaller DB seeing less continuous refresh than competitors. For high-velocity outbound where job changes matter, the staleness creates workflow friction.
BuiltWith covers more technographic territory
While Datanyze's technographic accuracy is solid (~90%), competitors like BuiltWith cover more technologies with more detailed data. For dedicated technographic-data use cases (deep CRM/MAP/ecommerce stack analysis), BuiltWith ($295+/mo) is the category leader despite being more expensive. Datanyze is the budget bundle, not the technographic-depth leader.

Head-to-head: Datanyze vs 1 competitor
The verdict
Who should skip Datanyze
Datanyze is the right answer for solo founders and very small teams (1-3 reps) doing low-volume US-focused prospecting who specifically need technographic data + contact info bundled on a tight budget. Pro 1 at $21/mo annual is the cheapest meaningful technographic + contact combination - no other tool bundles 'which CRMs/marketing tools a company uses' with verified emails + direct dials + mobile numbers at this price tier. The technographic accuracy (~90%) is genuinely strong, the Chrome extension UX is intuitive, and the 90-day Nyze Lite free tier enables real evaluation before committing.
The trade-offs are concrete and limit Datanyze's fit beyond the narrow budget-technographic-bundle sweet spot. The contact database is meaningfully smaller (48M vs ZoomInfo's 280M+ or Apollo's 275M+) - prospecting outside the US sweet spot or in niche industries hits dead ends regularly. Customer support has deteriorated since the 2018 ZoomInfo acquisition (Datanyze is deprioritized within ZoomInfo's portfolio). Outdated contacts and stale phone numbers are recurring complaints. And BuiltWith ($295+/mo) covers more technographic territory with more detail for dedicated tech-stack analysis use cases.
For solo founders on tight budgets specifically needing technographic + contact data in one Chrome extension, Datanyze Pro 1 at $21/mo annual is fair value within its narrow sweet spot. For broader contact data, Apollo (275M+) or ZoomInfo (enterprise depth). For deeper technographic, BuiltWith. And in all cases, Derrick starts free as the data layer that delivers broader contact DB coverage in its web app or Google Sheets, on a credit model that starts with 100 free credits a month at €0 - start with Derrick free, add Datanyze if you specifically need technographic intelligence on top.
