# Buzzlist

> Buzzlist is a people and company search platform that adds the work that
> usually happens after the list: account research, who to contact, what to
> say, and cold email drafts. Made by Visitor InSites Inc., Tampa, Florida.
> Slogan: "Busier than a bumblebee."

Free plan: 100 contacts every month, no credit card, no demo, no expiry.
Searching, filtering and saving never use the allowance; a contact is used
only when Buzzlist reveals an email or phone the customer did not have.
Paid plans (flat monthly, no seat minimum, month to month): Starter $199 with
1,500 contacts and 1,000 AI credits; Growth $499 with 4,000 contacts, 5,000 AI
credits and the Elite Business database; Scale $1,499 with 15,000 contacts and
20,000 AI credits.
