What Societeinfo does well
- Official data: it is built on INSEE SIRENE, INPI and commercial court registries, updated daily. You get SIREN, revenue and company events you can rely on.
- Company monitoring: you can follow changes at the companies you care about.
- Named contacts: name, job title, email and LinkedIn of people inside companies.
- CRM enrichment: API from Starter, export, Zapier, Make, webhooks and Salesforce enrichment, which suits teams that want clean company records in their CRM.
- A free plan: 25 credits a month to keep using it lightly.
What Prospya does differently
- It starts from the business, not the registry: 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 SIREN.
- 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.
- Phone first: every business with a phone comes with it. Societeinfo's pages focus on emails and company data; check phone coverage with them.
- 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. Already unlocked means 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.
- 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 at no extra cost.
- Live figures by trade and city, for example 312 hair salons in Toulouse.

Prospya prices include VAT. A Societeinfo credit and a Prospya credit do not buy the same thing: one buys company data or a named contact, the other a local business with its contacts. Compare per useful contact for your target, as our article on how much a lead list really costs explains.
