How does Zellpin find relevant companies from the web?
Zellpin scans publicly available web pages, business directories, and technology stacks in real time to surface companies that match the criteria you set. Its crawler continuously indexes fresh data, then applies proprietary matching algorithms that compare each firm’s size, industry, revenue, and tech footprint against your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP). Only companies that pass this live verification are returned as verified leads, ready for outreach. Because the discovery happens on‑demand, you never pay for stale lists—each lead costs $2 USD, with an optional $3 human‑caller add‑on, and there is no platform subscription fee.
How Zellpin discovers companies
The discovery engine starts with a distributed web crawler that visits company websites, LinkedIn pages, tech‑stack registries and public filing databases. It extracts key attributes such as employee count, annual revenue, industry codes and the software tools a firm uses. This raw data is stored in a fast‑changing index that reflects the current state of the market, ensuring you are never working with outdated information.
Once the raw signals are collected, Zellpin runs them through a series of filters that align with the ICP you configure in the dashboard. Filters can include geographic region, revenue band, employee range, specific technology adoption, and even recent funding events. The system only surfaces companies that satisfy every rule, dramatically reducing noise before you even see a lead.
Data sources and validation
Zellpin’s data pipeline pulls from over 150 public sources, including domain registries, corporate press releases, job boards, and technology usage trackers. Each source is weighted based on reliability, and the platform cross‑checks information across multiple points to catch inconsistencies.
After aggregation, a validation engine confirms that the company still exists, its website is reachable, and the contact information matches the latest public records. Leads that fail any validation step are discarded, ensuring the final list consists only of live, contact‑ready prospects.
Qualification against your ICP
Your ICP settings are applied as a rule‑engine that evaluates each company in real time. For example, you might require a SaaS firm with 50‑200 employees, $10‑$50 M ARR, and usage of a specific CRM. Zellpin checks each attribute, and only those that meet every criterion are marked as qualified.
Qualified companies are then enriched with decision‑maker contacts, email addresses, and phone numbers that have been verified through third‑party email validation services. The enrichment step adds the final layer of readiness, so your sales team can reach out immediately without additional research.
Pricing and cost predictability
Zellpin’s model is simple: $2 per verified lead, with an optional $3 per lead for human callers who will dial the prospect and book meetings. There is no monthly platform fee, so your cost scales directly with the number of leads you actually use. For detailed pricing, see pricing.
| Step | What Happens | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Live web crawl & data extraction | $0 |
| 2 | ICP matching & verification | $2 per verified lead |
| 3 | Optional human caller outreach | +$3 per called lead |
When Zellpin is the right fit
Zellpin works best for B2B teams that need fresh, ICP‑aligned prospects without the overhead of managing seat‑based subscriptions. If you sell a high‑margin solution and want predictable cost per lead, the $2 per verified lead model gives clear ROI calculations. The optional human callers are ideal when you prefer a personal touch on top‑tier accounts, turning a qualified contact into a booked meeting without building an internal SDR team. Companies that rely heavily on outbound prospecting and have a defined buyer persona see the most benefit. For a quick cost estimate, try our lead‑cost calculator.

When to skip Zellpin
Skip Zellpin if you only need AI‑driven voice bots for high‑volume cold calls, as the platform focuses on verified leads and optional human callers rather than bot‑first dialing.
