Quick answer: in Prospya vs Pharow, the real question is who you want to reach. Pharow is a French B2B database of companies and named decision-makers, sold as a monthly subscription, built for sales teams that sell to SMEs and mid-size companies. Prospya is a ready-made database of local businesses (restaurants, shops, salons, tradespeople) with the business's own phone, email, website, Instagram and rating, paid per contact with no subscription, and a CRM and email campaigns built in. Pick Pharow to reach a named buyer inside a company; pick Prospya to reach the shop itself.

What Pharow does well
- Named decision-makers: it maps who decides inside a company and rebuilds org charts, so you can aim at the finance director or the head of purchasing rather than a switchboard.
- Buying signals: it helps you time your approach, which matters when you sell to structured companies with long cycles.
- Depth on France: 3.4 million companies and 10 million prospects, according to its site.
- Fair credit rules: email enrichment and verification are free, a mobile number costs 10 credits and nothing if it is not found.
- Connections to sales tools: CSV export, webhook, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Lemlist and LaGrowthMachine.
What Prospya does differently
- It starts from the business, not the org chart: each record is a shop, restaurant, salon or tradesperson with its own phone, email, website, Instagram, rating and number of reviews when known. There are no names of people, no job titles and no personal mobiles.
- The list is already cleaned: data from public sources, cross-checked, duplicates merged, technical and third-party addresses removed, each email's domain checked to receive mail.
- You pay for what you keep: search and counts are free; 1 credit per business unlocked, and a business with neither phone nor email is free. A business you already unlocked is never charged again; a wrong phone or email is refunded.
- No subscription: €19 for 1,000 credits, €49 for 3,000, €129 for 10,000. Credits never expire, even if you stop for months.
- Calling and emailing in the same place: pipeline, follow-ups, call logging, an AI writer, and email campaigns to every business of a search, with a free first follow-up and an unsubscribe link. Up to 10 people share credits and contacts at no extra cost.
- Live figures by trade and city, for example 135 bakeries in Bordeaux.

When to choose Pharow
- You sell to SMEs and mid-size companies in France and need to reach a named person: a director, a head of purchasing, a finance lead.
- You use org charts and buying signals to plan your accounts.
- Your team already works in HubSpot, Pipedrive, Lemlist or LaGrowthMachine and wants the data pushed there.
- You prospect every month and a subscription fits your rhythm.
When to choose Prospya
- Your customers are local businesses: restaurants, bakeries, salons, shops, tradespeople, hotels.
- You want the business's phone, email, website, Instagram and rating, not a manager's profile.
- You prospect in France and Belgium, or in big cities abroad, in campaigns, without a subscription running between them.
- You want one place to find businesses, call them, email them and follow up, for a small team.
You can run a free search to see the businesses available in your area before you buy anything.
Can you use both?
Yes. A team selling to chains can use Pharow to reach head-office decision-makers and Prospya to reach each outlet one by one. If you already have a file, Prospya can complete it: you only pay for the businesses it finds. For a wider look, read our Pharow and Societeinfo alternatives review.
FAQ
Is Prospya cheaper than Pharow?
For reaching local businesses, yes: 1,000 credits cost €19 including VAT with Prospya, against €139 excluding VAT per month for Pharow's Essentiel plan. But the two do not sell the same thing: Pharow gives named decision-makers inside companies, which Prospya does not.
Does Prospya give names of managers like Pharow?
No. Prospya gives company-level contacts: the business's phone, email, website, Instagram, rating and number of reviews when known. For named decision-makers and job titles, Pharow is the right kind of tool.
Do Pharow credits expire?
According to its pricing page, unused credits are kept up to a cap of 48,000 but are deleted if you cancel your subscription. Prospya credits never expire and there is no subscription.
Does Pharow include email sending or a CRM?
Its pricing page lists integrations with HubSpot, Pipedrive, Lemlist and LaGrowthMachine, not built-in email sending. Prospya includes a team CRM and email campaigns.
Can I try Prospya before paying?
Yes: search is free and you get 25 credits when you sign up, with no card.
