The answer depends on how steady your volume is. AeroLeads sells one-time credit packs with no subscription, from $49 for 2,000 credits, valid 12 months and partly refundable for 7 days. SignalHire sells monthly or yearly plans from $69 a month, with no rollover and no refunds. On cost per contact with a phone, SignalHire is usually cheaper, because one credit covers everything it finds for a person, while AeroLeads charges 6 credits for a contact that comes with a phone. Facts are from both vendors' pricing pages, AeroLeads' refund policy and SignalHire's terms, read on 12 November 2026.
Cost of 400 contacts with phone numbers
AeroLeads: 400 × 6 = 2,400 credits. The $49 pack of 2,000 falls short, so it is the $149 pack of 8,000, which leaves 5,600 credits for later within the 12 months. Every saved contact costs at least 1 credit even without an email, but AeroLeads shows which contacts have an email or phone before you save, so filter first.
SignalHire: the phones plan gives 435 credits for $69 a month, or $57 a month billed yearly. A credit is taken only when at least one email or phone comes back, and it covers all of them. Credits left at the end of the month are gone.
For a one-off project, AeroLeads' pack can be cheaper overall because nothing is lost at month end. For a steady monthly need, SignalHire costs less per person with phones.
