Glinky

AI lead generation with verified B2B contacts plus a built-in AI meeting notetaker and CRM sync.

60/100MonitorFree · from $19.99/moFreemium

Glinky is worth a serious look if your team is small enough that buying a lead-gen tool (Lusha, Apollo) and a notetaker (Gong, Fireflies) separately feels wasteful. The 100-credit free plan lets you validate both halves without a card, and the $19.99 Plus tier is cheap enough to trial properly. The friction point is the credit ceiling: Pro and Ultimate both cap at 3,500 lead credits, so genuine high-volume prospecting outgrows it. If you need depth in either direction — richer contact data at scale, or call intelligence with real coaching analytics — a specialist like Lusha or Gong will beat it.

Skip it if

Skip Glinky if you need to unlock more than 3,500 verified contacts a month or you require a named, documented connector for your specific CRM before your team switches tools.

The 30-second take
Biggest gripe

Pro ($99.99/mo) and Ultimate ($199.99/mo) both cap at 3,500 lead credits, so doubling your spend does not double your lead volume — if prospecting volume is your constraint you top out on the paid tiers.

Price reality

Pricing fits solo operators and small sales teams: Free at $0 with 100 credits, Plus at $19.99/mo for 500 credits and unlimited active contacts. Pro at $99.99/mo and Ultimate at $199.99/mo are aimed at outbound teams, but both cap at 3,500 credits. Teams that outgrow that ceiling typically move to Apollo or Lusha for volume, or add a dedicated sequencer rather than paying more here.

In short

Glinky — AI lead generation with verified B2B contacts plus a built-in AI meeting notetaker and CRM sync. Best for Founder-led sales teams, SMB outbound teams (2-10 reps), B2B sales professionals who both prospect and take calls. Free to start; paid plans from $19.99/mo.

About Glinky

FreemiumBeginner-friendlyAPI availableWeb

Glinky combines two jobs that SMB sales teams usually buy separately: finding verified B2B contacts and taking notes on the calls that follow. You describe your ideal buyer in plain English — Glinky's own example is "Marketing directors in Berlin fintech startups" — or narrow it down with 99+ filters covering seniority, revenue, employee count, keywords, technologies and geography. You preview matches before spending anything, and credits are only consumed when you unlock a verified email or mobile number. Unlocked leads go into curated lists with manageable columns, then export to CSV or push to your CRM. The notetaker runs on the other side of the same workflow: it captures the call, transcribes it, and produces a summary, decisions, speaker highlights and next steps that sync to your CRM so handovers don't rely on memory. A free tier gives you 100 lead credits, email and phone enrichment, and 500 active contacts to test the whole loop. Paid plans run $19.99/mo (Plus, 500 credits) up to $99.99/mo and $199.99/mo, the latter adding Outreach Sequences across email and LinkedIn. Annual billing takes 20% off. It is built for small and mid-sized outbound teams that want one place to find a lead and record what was said — not for enterprises that need custom data sources or deep CRM customization.

Behind the Verdict

Glinky's pitch is consolidation, and the product is organized around a clean four-step loop: find the right people, run the conversation, get the summary, push to your CRM. That loop is the actual differentiator. Most teams duct-tape a prospecting tool to a notetaker and lose the connective tissue; here the notes land against the account history of the contact you just pulled. The lead side is more thoughtful than the average B2B database clone. Real-time data preview is the feature that matters most commercially — you see whether a contact has a verified email, mobile and LinkedIn profile before a credit is spent, which removes the worst part of credit-based prospecting, where you pay to discover a bounce. Natural-language search plus 99+ filters is a reasonable balance: describe the buyer, then refine without wrestling a boolean builder. The weaknesses are structural, not cosmetic. Both Pro ($99.99/mo) and Ultimate ($199.99/mo) cap at 3,500 lead credits — paying more than double does not buy more leads, it buys contact enrichment with API access and, on Ultimate, email and LinkedIn outreach sequences. If your outbound volume is the constraint, that is the ceiling you hit. The second gap is integrations. The pricing page says every plan includes CRM integrations, and the product repeatedly mentions pushing notes and next steps to your CRM, but Glinky documents no named integration partners. That matters more than it looks: if your stack runs on HubSpot or Salesforce, you should confirm the specific connector exists before committing a team to it. Third-party lead data is also a long game — the value of a contact database is its refresh cadence, and nothing in the material published so far lets a buyer judge that. Where it genuinely fits: a founder-led or 2-10 person sales team that wants to search a market, unlock a manageable list and stop taking manual notes. Where it doesn't: an enterprise with a customized Salesforce instance, or a team that needs call intelligence for coaching rather than just accurate summaries.

Real-world workflow fit

Concrete scenarios for the personas Glinky actually fits — and what changes day-one when you adopt it.

Solo founder running outbound

Describe your ICP in plain English, preview which matches carry verified email and mobile, unlock the ones worth pursuing, and export the list to CSV — all on the free 100 credits while validating the market.

Outcome: A vetted contact list for the week without paying to discover bounces, and no note-taking during the calls that follow.

Small sales team (2-10 reps) on Pro

Reps pull segmented lists by company size, revenue and technology, then run their calls with the notetaker capturing transcription, summaries and next steps that sync back to the CRM.

Outcome: Account history stays current without rep admin, and handovers carry the actual decisions rather than a rep's recollection.

Recruiter sourcing candidates

Use role, location and company filters to build curated lists of candidates with verified mobile and email data, then export for outreach outside Glinky.

Outcome: Faster sourcing with contact data that's verified before it's unlocked, at Plus-tier cost.

Use Cases

Limitations

  • Lead credits cap how many contacts you unlock: 100 on Free, 500 on Plus, and 3,500 on Pro and Ultimate.
  • Paying for Ultimate rather than Pro does not increase the credit ceiling — it adds Outreach Sequences across email and LinkedIn plus API-enabled enrichment.
  • Contact enrichment is tiered too: email and phone on Free and Plus, full profiles plus API on Pro and Ultimate.
  • Glinky's material refers to CRM integrations and CRM sync for notes and next steps but documents no named integration partners, so verify your specific CRM is supported before committing a team.
  • The notetaker is built in and covers transcription, summaries, action items and speaker highlights, but no video-conferencing integrations are named, so it is not a substitute for a dedicated call-intelligence platform if you need coaching analytics.

Free

$0/mo

Ideal for

Solo operator or small team validating whether Glinky's lead data matches their market before paying anything.

What this tier adds

Free entry point: 100 lead credits, email and phone enrichment, 500 active contacts, AI notetaker with CRM note sync.

Plus

$19.99/mo

Ideal for

Individual professional or small team that needs more pipeline than 100 credits allows but doesn't need API enrichment.

What this tier adds

Raises the credit allowance to 500 and removes the active-contact cap to unlimited; enrichment stays email and phone.

Pro

$99.99/mo

Ideal for

Sales teams running regular outbound who need full contact profiles and API-level enrichment.

What this tier adds

Jumps to 3,500 lead credits and adds full contact enrichment with API access, plus CRM sync for next steps.

Ultimate

$199.99/mo

Ideal for

Outbound teams that want to run the sequence, not just build the list, and are willing to pay roughly double Pro for it.

What this tier adds

Same 3,500 credits and full enrichment as Pro, but adds Outreach Sequences across Email and LinkedIn.

Hidden costs & gotchas

What the public pricing page doesn't put in bold. Captured from pricing-page footnotes, contract terms, and recurring complaints.

  • Pro ($99.99/mo) and Ultimate ($199.99/mo) both cap at 3,500 lead credits, so doubling your spend does not double your lead volume — if prospecting volume is your constraint you top out on the paid tiers.
  • Outreach Sequences across email and LinkedIn are locked to the $199.99/mo Ultimate tier, so the cheap Plus plan won't run sequences for you.
  • Full contact enrichment with API access only starts at Pro ($99.99/mo); Free and Plus buyers are limited to email and phone enrichment.
  • Free plans hold only 500 active contacts, so a trial that fills up forces an upgrade sooner than the credit count alone suggests.
  • The 20% annual discount is the headline rate — paying monthly costs the full $19.99/$99.99/$199.99.

Where the pricing makes sense

The company stage and team size where Glinky's pricing actually pencils out — and where peers do it cheaper.

Pricing fits solo operators and small sales teams: Free at $0 with 100 credits, Plus at $19.99/mo for 500 credits and unlimited active contacts. Pro at $99.99/mo and Ultimate at $199.99/mo are aimed at outbound teams, but both cap at 3,500 credits. Teams that outgrow that ceiling typically move to Apollo or Lusha for volume, or add a dedicated sequencer rather than paying more here.

Setup time & first value

How long it actually takes to get something useful out of Glinky — broken out by persona, not the marketing-page minute.

A solo operator can search an ICP, preview matches and unlock a first verified contact in minutes on the free plan — there is no credit card step. A small team gets more out of the first session if they set the ICP filters and decide the CRM destination up front; the notetaker needs a call to run through before summaries and CRM sync are meaningful.

Switching to or from Glinky

How to bring data in from common predecessors and how to get it back out — written for the switcher, not the buyer.

Migrating in
  • From Lusha or Apollo alone: start on Free with 100 credits, replicate your saved ICP as filters, and compare preview quality against your current provider before upgrading to Pro.
  • From a standalone notetaker (Fireflies, Otter): run Glinky alongside it for two or three calls, compare the summaries, action items and speaker highlights, then drop whichever adds less.
  • From manual spreadsheet prospecting: rebuild your saved segments using the 99+ filters and the natural-language search, then export to CSV to confirm parity before switching the team.
Migrating out
  • To Apollo or Lusha: export your curated lists to CSV and re-import the segments there; you'll recover the higher credit ceilings but lose the built-in notetaker.
  • To Gong or a dedicated call-intelligence tool: keep Glinky for prospecting on a lower tier and move call capture across if you need coaching analytics rather than summaries.
  • To HubSpot Sales Hub or Salesforce native tooling: export leads to CSV and rebuild filters there if you need a documented, supported CRM connector rather than generic sync.
