Neuron

Overview

Neuron is a prospecting tool that provides real-time verified business contact data, with browser workflows for finding and developing sales leads. It is best suited to sales professionals and outbound teams that want contact searches, prospecting tools, and sales integrations together. Its free weekly quotas make it possible to start without a subscription, while Lite removes the email and mobile number caps for $79 a month per user.

Key features

Neuron says it uses more than 15 techniques, including SMTP and MX checks, to source and verify email addresses in real time. That verification focus is useful for teams building outreach lists, though the free plan's 15 emails per week sharply limits ongoing prospecting.

Phone data includes telecom-verified mobile numbers identified by more than 10 attributes, along with direct office and mainline numbers. The browser workflow also supports bulk prospecting, lead recommendations based on prospecting activity, job change alerts, and account-based prospecting. Together, these tools suit teams that want to find and follow prospects within a browser workflow; paid plans make heavier use practical with unlimited mobile numbers.

Neuron covers major markets across North America, LATAM, EMEA, and APAC, and provides corporate contact data rather than personal contact data. It lists Salesforce, Google Sheets, Outreach, and Salesloft integrations, included in seat-based pricing. Company search, people search, email finding, phone numbers, and CRM sync support a broad prospecting workflow, though teams should consider whether corporate data matches their use case.

Neuron states that it meets SOC 2 Type II standards and is GDPR- and CCPA-compliant. It says sales-stack data is encrypted in transit and at rest, treated as transient, and retained in some cases for support, license management, analytics, and reporting. Its AWS cloud infrastructure is primarily hosted in Oregon, USA, across multiple availability zones. Support can help with integrations and security issues; Enterprise customers can request a SOC 2 report or vendor security questionnaire.

Pricing

Free: free. The plan includes 15 emails and 5 mobile numbers per week. It offers a useful way to try the prospecting workflow, but the weekly caps are restrictive for regular outbound work.

Lite: $79 a month, per user, with monthly or yearly billing options. It includes unlimited emails and mobile numbers, making it the clearer fit for individual users or teams with sustained prospecting needs. The per-user price means costs rise with each seat.

Enterprise: custom pricing under a yearly contract with annual billing. It includes unlimited emails and mobile numbers, and a custom SLA is available as a paid add-on. This plan suits buyers who need an annual contract or want to discuss service terms with sales.

The Free plan remains available without a paid subscription; the paid tiers remove the stated email and mobile number quotas.

Platforms

Neuron is available as a browser extension, a macOS app, and a Windows app. That spread gives desktop users options alongside prospecting in the browser.

Who it's for

Neuron fits outbound sales teams and sales professionals who need business contact searches, verified email and phone data, and tools such as bulk prospecting and job change alerts. Its regional coverage can serve teams prospecting across several major markets, while its corporate-only data suits business outreach rather than personal contact searches. The Free plan fits light exploration; regular use of both email and mobile data points toward Lite.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Real-time email verification and telecom-verified mobile numbers give sales teams multiple business contact channels.
• Pros: Bulk prospecting, activity-based lead recommendations, job change alerts, and account-based prospecting support more than one stage of lead development.
• Pros: Salesforce, Google Sheets, Outreach, and Salesloft integrations are included in seat-based pricing.
• Cons: Free use is capped at 15 emails and 5 mobile numbers per week, which leaves little room for sustained outreach.
• Cons: Lite costs $79 a month per user, so seats can make it a significant expense for larger teams.
• Cons: Neuron provides corporate contact data only, so it does not fit searches for personal contact details.

Verdict

Choose Neuron if your sales team needs business contact searches alongside browser prospecting workflows and sales integrations.

Look elsewhere if you need personal contact data, or if $79 a month per user is too much for the prospecting volume you expect.
