LeadsGorilla helps agencies find local businesses to pitch, audit them, and email them. SphereScout sells repeatable local-business exports for any campaign.
Choose LeadsGorilla for finding local businesses with visible marketing gaps to pitch. Choose SphereScout to export a selected local-business segment by category and country. The available business and email counts are shown before purchase.
What kind of alternative is this?
LeadsGorilla is an AI-assisted prospecting tool built for marketing agencies, and the leads it finds are local businesses: restaurants, dentists, contractors, and other businesses that could become the agency's clients.
You search by business category, keyword, and location; it scores each business by how much marketing help it appears to need, checks emails, phone numbers, addresses, and websites, generates branded PDF audit reports (Google Business Profile, Facebook reputation, citations, SEO, Core Web Vitals), and sends cold email from connected inboxes.
Paid plans start at $67 per month (Basic, shown against an $83 "normal price") with 1,000 business-lead searches a month. SphereScout covers the same kind of records, local businesses, but sells them as complete exportable lists by country and category, with business and email counts visible before purchase, rather than as a pitching workflow.
