UpLead sells verified B2B contact data through credits. It offers a 7-day trial with 5 credits, Essentials at $99 per month for 170 credits (or $74 per month billed annually), Plus at $199 per month for 400 credits (or $149 annually), and a custom Professional plan, with extra credits at $0.60 each (published pricing, October 2026, with a promotional discount showing at the time). It is a straightforward model: pay for the contacts you reveal.
That model works well when you already know which companies you are targeting. It is a poorer fit for finding which companies to target in the first place, particularly when they have only just registered and have not yet built a web presence for a contact database to draw on.
NewcoSignal handles the first step. We ingest Companies House daily and let you filter by industry category and region. A saved search emails you the new matches daily or weekly. The free plan has unlimited company search and one saved search with a daily email of the top 5 new matches. Every new account gets a 14-day Pro trial with no card. Pro, at £39 per month + VAT or £348 a year + VAT, covers every match (up to 625 new companies a week), with 10 saved searches, CSV and Excel export, Zapier, webhooks, Slack and Teams. The price is flat, not per contact.
A new company comes with a registered address (around 99.98%) and a named director (around 99%), with formation-agent addresses and likely shells filtered out and a reachable-by-post filter for mailings. We do not claim emails or phone numbers for brand-new companies, and show a contact email or website only where verified. Instant alerts are hourly delivery of daily data, not real time.
Used in sequence, the two tools stretch your credits. Find the companies and directors on NewcoSignal, narrow to the ones that fit, and spend contact credits only on those that have a presence. For one-off needs, NewcoSignal's lists are 10p per company + VAT with a £10 minimum and no subscription.
