Pick the Right Tool
Choose LocalStitch if you...

- Want a self-serve platform you can use anytime
- Prefer flat, predictable pricing without per-lead costs
- Want AI research agents that scale across thousands of businesses
- Need Google Maps extraction and real-time local business search
Choose Coldlytics if you...
- Need the highest possible accuracy with human-verified contacts
- Target extremely niche SMBs that are hard to find in any database
- Have custom research requests that require a human touch
- Can plan outreach ahead and don't mind waiting for list delivery
- Value an email bounce guarantee over speed
The Bottom Line
Coldlytics is a solid service. Their human researchers deliver accurate, verified contacts for hard-to-find SMBs—the same blue-collar businesses that big databases like ZoomInfo and Apollo completely miss. If you need someone to manually track down the owner of a two-person landscaping company in rural Texas, Coldlytics can do that. And their email bounce guarantee means you're not paying for bad data.
But if you sell to local businesses at any kind of scale, waiting 24-72 hours per batch and paying $0.40-$1.00 per lead isn't sustainable. Your sales team shouldn't have to wait for a human researcher to build a list they could generate themselves in seconds.
LocalStitch gives you the same local SMB focus with instant results. AI research agents that answer custom questions across thousands of businesses. Google Maps extraction that pulls live data. Waterfall enrichment that checks multiple sources for accuracy. And flat monthly pricing that doesn't punish you for prospecting more. That's the difference between a service and a platform.
