What Buzz does that a list cannot
Say who you want in one sentence. Buzz reads what each company really does and tells you why each person fits. Mark one "not a fit" and it remembers.
From their website and their role, not a template. Threaded, spaced over two weeks, each shorter than the last. Ten AI credits a person.
Twelve sections on one account: who to contact first, why now, what to say, the objection coming. Read in five minutes before the call.
The offer
- 100 contacts free every month, no card, no end date
- A person you reveal is never charged again
- If Buzz cannot finish a piece of work, the credits come back on their own
- One flat price per account, month to month, cancel from your account
Where Smartlead is ahead
Smartlead sends today with unlimited mailboxes and warm-up. Until Buzzlist's sending arrives, Buzz writes and Smartlead can send.
Questions people ask
Can I use Buzzlist and Smartlead together?
Yes. Buzz finds the people and writes the four emails. Export them, or send the people to a sheet or webhook, and Smartlead sends. Buzz Send is available in the customer portal after sending setup.
Which one gets more replies?
Replies come from the right person and an email written about their business. That is what Buzz produces. Smartlead delivers whatever you give it.
Is Smartlead cheaper?
For sending alone, yes. Buzzlist's $199 plan includes the contacts, the research and the writing, which is where the hours go.
