Seamless.AI covers search and sending

Prospector searches contacts and companies, adds information to existing records and surfaces context such as job changes. It connects with CRMs including Salesforce and HubSpot. Prospector details

Seamless.AI also has its own outreach tools. Connect lets you email from contact lists, use templates and track activity. Calling can use Twilio, or you can log calls made through another phone system. So you do not always need a separate sender. Connect details

To evaluate it, follow one contact through finding the person, checking their current company, saving the record and preparing outreach, in the package you are quoted.

Seamless.AI's free account has 50 credits

The official pricing page, checked September 26, 2026, lists a free account with one user and 50 credits. Paid Pro and Enterprise plans require a quote; the FAQ says Pro starts at 10,000 annual credits. A credit is used to research a contact's details.

Enrichment, intent and automation products appear as add-ons. Get the proposed seats, credit allowance and included products in writing, then compare the quote with what you need. Seamless.AI pricing

Instant Expert shows prices for the people and request format you select. A reply comes on the person's own schedule, in text or voice as they choose. A call is better when you need follow-up questions.

A job change explains the timing, nothing more

Here is a made-up example. You sell employee-onboarding software and find an HR leader who recently joined a company. That gives you context for an introduction. It does not tell you the company is replacing its onboarding tools (a new leader may still be finding the coffee machine).

Seamless.AI can carry a relevant sales message. To pay for a demonstration instead, an Instant Expert invitation could say:

I sell onboarding software for distributed teams. I'd like to pay for a 15-minute demonstration and your reaction to where, if anywhere, it would fit your onboarding process.

It states the sales purpose and leaves room for a polite no.

Bring people you already know

In Instant Expert, search for relevant people or import their email addresses, LinkedIn URLs or a CSV of names and companies. Moving a Seamless.AI shortlist by CSV is a manual transfer, not a native connector.

An assistant can also find or import people and prepare an order through Instant Expert's MCP connection. Sending needs paid sending enabled for that connection, a saved card and your approval of the order.

Choose Seamless.AI for repeated prospecting and sales follow-up. Choose a paid request when you can describe the specific conversation you want to have.
