ContactOut
ContactOut lists Free, Email $25/mo (annual), Email+Phone $49/mo (annual), and a sales-led Team/API tier with discounted promo strikethroughs visible. API access lives behind the Team tier and the API documentation page is referenced but credentialing details require sales contact. Quotas are export-based rather than per-call $$. Self-serve covers the two consumer tiers.

Observational summary written by xpay from the signals captured on 2026-05-04. Not a review of the product — only of its current pricing posture for agent buyers.- Pricing is publicly visible on an indexable page — agents can read tiers without scraping past auth.
- API documentation is reachable without a login — discovery and integration can happen in one session.
- A free tier exists, lowering the bar for an agent builder to prototype before committing budget.
- No per-unit price was advertised, so an agent has no way to estimate the cost of a single task.
- Some tiers are sales-led; the highest-capacity surfaces are not self-serve.
- PPU requires account creation and an issued API key; a fully unauthenticated agent purchase is not yet supported.
- No /.well-known/ai-pricing.json or equivalent machine-readable pricing manifest is published — agents must rely on HTML scraping.
- A unit price is published but consumption per task is not declared upfront — cost predictability is partial.
How ContactOut could lift its score
ContactOut sits in the Partial band. Two upgrades that would push past 75: (1) move the API plan into a self-serve tier with a published $/call or $/lookup rate so cost is estimable; (2) publish API docs at an unauthenticated URL and add /.well-known/ai-pricing.json plus a Stripe Payment Link for credit packs.
