Both are bought mainly for phone numbers, and both sell "unlimited" in some form, so the useful comparison is what the limits really are. Swordfish's paid plans have no credit count under a fair-use policy, from $99 a month or $49 a month billed yearly. RocketReach counts lookups on monthly plans, with phones only from its Pro plan, and makes annual lookups unlimited but caps exports per year. Swordfish facts are from its pricing page, read on 12 November 2026; RocketReach's rules from its knowledge base, refund page and terms, read on 10 November 2026. RocketReach's own pricing page does not show prices as text, so its prices are from Spotsaas (September 2026).
What "unlimited" means on each
- Swordfish
- Professional is $99 a month or $49 a month yearly; Team $599 or $299, though the FAQ on the same page prices Team at $299 monthly and $149 yearly. Paid plans advertise unlimited prospecting with no credits, subject to fair use, while the extension guide still describes a reveal as using 1 credit. Ask what the fair-use threshold is before relying on it.
- RocketReach
- Monthly plans count lookups: 100 email-only on Essentials ($69), 250 with phones on Pro ($119), 1,000 on Ultimate ($209), as listed by Spotsaas. Annual plans have unlimited lookups but a fixed yearly export allowance, and the terms cap use at 10,000 searches and 10,000 lookups per rolling 30 days. Low-grade emails and repeat lookups are not charged.
Trying, renewing and leaving
| Swordfish | RocketReach | |
|---|---|---|
| Trial | 7 days, 10 credits; card needed, $5 hold; converts to paid | Small free allowance per third-party guides; not stated on its own pages |
| Cancelling | By chat or email before the period ends; access to end of term | From the next billing cycle; monthly plans can be paused up to 3 cycles |
| Refunds | Not stated on the pricing page | None; all plans auto-renew |
| Extension reveals on profiles | Extension on LinkedIn, Recruiter and Sales Navigator, including search pages; bulk in the web app |
For a single seller who needs phones at steady volume, Swordfish's yearly Professional plan is the lower headline price. For teams that need many exports with a predictable count, RocketReach's annual export allowance is easier to plan around. Either way, screenshot the price on the day; both have pages that disagree with themselves.
Where Scrupp is different
Scrupp does not reveal contacts one profile at a time. It exports a whole LinkedIn, Sales Navigator or Apollo search, including past the 2,500 results Sales Navigator shows, at 1 credit per lead, 1 more for a found work email and 2 for a found phone, with 100 free credits a month and no fee per user. It finds work emails only and has no contact database, verifier or email sending.
