Agent Jesse vs LeadFuze: which should you use in 2026?

LeadFuze now sells US contact data in bulk, through a monthly data license, an enrichment API and a visitor pixel. Jesse is a self-serve tool that searches the live internet for companies with a buying signal. LeadFuze quotes its license at $1,500–$2,000 a month. Jesse starts free, then $9 a month.

What happened to LeadFuze?

LeadFuze's pricing page says it has "shut down direct software access" and now offers only a full data license with monthly updates. LeadFuze gives no shutdown date. Everything below describes LeadFuze as of October 2026.

LeadFuze now calls itself "The Contact Data Layer for Apps." It sells three things: a full data license, an Enrichment API, and an Identity Resolution Pixel that identifies website visitors. A fourth product, Intent Data, is labelled "Coming Soon" with an early-access waitlist.

If you used the old LeadFuze search app or Fuzebot, its automated list builder, neither appears on LeadFuze's current product pages. The data business continues. LeadFuze says it has been a data provider since 2014.

Jesse vs LeadFuze: which should you pick?

Pick Jesse if you were a LeadFuze app user who wants a self-serve search tool.

You want to type who you are looking for and get a list back, on a monthly plan you can start yourself. You also want the reason each company is worth contacting now, with a dated source on every row.

Pick LeadFuze if you are building an app or data product that needs US contact data in bulk.

You run a data team, a SaaS product or an agency platform. You want a monthly file of US profiles in your own cloud storage. Or you want an API that enriches an email, phone or LinkedIn URL in real time.

LeadFuze today answers "how do I get US contact data into my own systems?" Jesse answers "which companies should I be calling right now, and why?" They now serve different buyers, so few teams will weigh one against the other.

How do Jesse and LeadFuze compare?

What this table shows: LeadFuze is stronger on bulk US contact coverage, consumer fields and website visitor identification. Jesse is the self-serve option, with signal-led search on monthly plans from $0 to $100.

Disclosure: Jesse is made by Floworks. It is checked here against the same points as LeadFuze.

Why choose Jesse over LeadFuze?

How is Jesse's live search different from LeadFuze's data license?

LeadFuze ships a stored dataset. You receive a monthly file, or you send the API an identifier you already have, and LeadFuze returns the profile. Its pixel identifies visitors to your own website, scored by how they browse.

Jesse starts from a description of the buyer. "Dental groups in Texas that opened a new location in the last 60 days." Jesse searches the live internet and returns the companies with the source attached, then enriches contacts if you ask.

LeadFuze's signals today are visits to your own site, with third-party intent data still "Coming Soon." Jesse searches the open web for the event itself: a funding round, a permit, a listing or a local news story.

How fresh is LeadFuze's data compared with Jesse's?

LeadFuze says its license is refreshed monthly. Its Enrichment API claims real-time lookups with sub-200ms response times. That suits teams that want a complete US file to query inside their own systems.

Jesse keeps no stored list to refresh. Every query runs against the live internet, so a company can appear as soon as the web reports the event. The trade-off is honest: Jesse is built to discover accounts, not to fill a data warehouse.

What do LeadFuze reviews say?

As of 11 October 2026, LeadFuze holds 4.6 out of 5 from 119 reviews on G2. The reviews describe LeadFuze's former self-serve app, not its current data products.

LeadFuze's website terms say it "DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE DATA PROVIDED WILL BE ACCURATE," wording that is common in data-vendor terms. A signed license agreement overrides those terms where they conflict. Test a sample against your own ICP before you license.

Is LeadFuze a sales tool or a data provider now?

A data provider. LeadFuze's site lists solutions for sales, marketing, recruiting, identity verification and fraud recognition, but it sells the data, not a seat in an app. The pixel has a white-label reseller program for agencies.

How does Jesse's pricing compare with LeadFuze's?

What this table shows: a solo seller can run Jesse Pro for a year for $108 on monthly billing, less on annual. Twelve months of LeadFuze's license at its lowest quoted rate is $18,000, for a full US dataset rather than a single seller's search tool.

Sources: Jesse pricing · LeadFuze pricing page (leadfuze.com/pricing, which redirects to /start) · LeadFuze product, pixel and Data Co-Op pages · LeadFuze Terms of Service. Checked 11 October 2026.

Older third-party reviews still list LeadFuze's self-serve tiers, at figures between $132 and $497 a month. Those reviews disagree with each other, and LeadFuze's pricing page says the software is no longer sold.

How is LeadFuze's data license delivered?

LeadFuze delivers the full dataset to your own cloud storage each month. Options are AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage or SFTP. Files come as CSV (52GB) or Parquet (70GB), per its data license page.

LeadFuze prices data licensing as a flat-rate fee. The Enrichment API is priced by volume and use case, and the pixel is billed per website. Jesse has one credit meter: a search costs 10 credits, an email 5, and a phone number 30 with the email included.

Where LeadFuze is the better choice

• Bulk US coverage in your own systems. LeadFuze claims 269M+ US profiles, delivered as a monthly file. A data team that wants to query everything in-house gets that from a license, not from Jesse.
• Consumer and personal fields. LeadFuze's schema includes personal emails, mobile numbers, home addresses, net worth and homeowner status. That fits B2C, identity and audience use cases Jesse is not built for.
• Website visitor identification. LeadFuze's pixel identifies people visiting your site and sends enriched profiles by webhook. Jesse has no visitor tracking.
• Real-time enrichment inside your product. LeadFuze's Enrichment API looks up a profile from an email, phone, LinkedIn URL or name and company. It claims sub-200ms responses.
• Agencies reselling data. LeadFuze's white-label pixel program lists a $79 monthly cost and suggested resale prices of $99 to $999. Jesse has no reseller program.

Where Jesse is the better choice

• A self-serve search app. LeadFuze says it has shut down direct software access. Jesse is a self-serve app you can start on a free plan without a card.
• Small budgets. LeadFuze quotes its license at $1,500 to $2,000 a month. Jesse Pro is $9 a month, with email and phone enrichment.
• Finding companies by events on the open web. LeadFuze's live signal today is behavior on your own website. Jesse finds companies by events the web reports, such as funding, hiring, a new location, a permit, a filing.
• No data engineering. LeadFuze's license arrives as a 52GB CSV or 70GB Parquet file in your cloud bucket. Jesse returns a list you can read, save and export to CSV from Pro.
• A reason on every row. Each Jesse result carries a dated rationale and a named source. LeadFuze's file gives contact fields, and the "why now" is yours to work out.

How to switch from LeadFuze to Jesse

If you used LeadFuze's search app or Fuzebot and want a self-serve tool again, here is the order that keeps what worked.

1. Write your best LeadFuze search as a sentence in Jesse. Take your most-used filters and add the event that usually comes before a purchase. Jesse's free plan gives you 1,000 credits, about 100 searches, with no card.
2. Rebuild your Fuzebot lists as saved lists with alerts. Save the search and turn on an alert. The free plan includes 1 alert a day; Pro includes 3.
3. Enrich only the companies worth contacting. From the $9 Pro plan, an email costs 5 credits and a phone number 30, with the email included.
4. Check for any remaining LeadFuze billing. LeadFuze's terms say to cancel in the portal's Settings or Billing section, not by email, phone or chat. Renewals are automatic and payments non-refundable.
5. Reconnect your CRM. Export to CSV from Pro, or connect through n8n or the API on the $29 Business plan.

Frequently asked questions

Is LeadFuze still available?

Yes, but not as a self-serve app. LeadFuze's pricing page says it has "shut down direct software access" and now offers a full data license with monthly updates. As of October 2026, it sells that license, an Enrichment API and a website identity-resolution pixel. Intent data is listed as "Coming Soon." LeadFuze gives no date for the change.

What happened to Fuzebot?

LeadFuze's current product pages do not mention Fuzebot, the automated list builder in its old app. A LeadFuze review published by ZoomInfo, a direct competitor, says Fuzebot "no longer exists." That is third-party competitor content, so treat it as such. If you want recurring lists again, Jesse's saved lists and daily alerts cover a similar job.

How much does LeadFuze cost now?

LeadFuze quotes its full data license at $1,500 to $2,000 a month, depending on the term. The Enrichment API is priced by custom quote. The pixel's white-label reseller program lists a $79 monthly cost. Older third-party reviews show self-serve plans, but LeadFuze says the software is no longer sold. Jesse publishes $0, $9, $29 and $100 monthly plans.

Is LeadFuze legit?

Yes, LeadFuze is a real company that says it has provided data since 2014. It holds 4.6 out of 5 from 119 G2 reviews as of October 2026, all describing its former app. Its website terms say payments are non-refundable and data accuracy is not warranted; a signed license agreement overrides them. It says it is working towards SOC 2, GDPR and CCPA certifications.

What company is behind LeadFuze, and where is it based?

LeadFuze lists a mailing address in Glendale, Arizona, in its privacy policy. Its G2 vendor overview is written by Justin McGill, whom third-party sources name as the founder. LeadFuze's footer dates the company to 2014. LeadFuze publishes no ownership details. Jesse is made by Floworks Technologies.

LeadFuze vs ZoomInfo: which is better?

They now serve different buyers. ZoomInfo offers org charts, direct dials and intent data, bought through a sales-led quote. LeadFuze licenses a US contact dataset to apps and data teams for $1,500 to $2,000 a month. On G2 in October 2026, ZoomInfo's GTM Workspace scores 4.5 from 9,178 reviews and LeadFuze 4.6 from 119.

LeadFuze vs Apollo.io: which is better?

For a sales seat, Apollo.io, because LeadFuze no longer sells one. Apollo.io offers contact data, sequences and a dialer on published per-seat plans, from $49 per user a month on annual billing, with a free plan. LeadFuze sells bulk data and an API. On G2 in October 2026, Apollo.io scores 4.7 and LeadFuze 4.6.

What's the difference between Jesse and LeadFuze?

Jesse is a self-serve search tool; LeadFuze is now a data supplier. Jesse searches the live internet on every query and returns companies with a dated buying signal, from $9 a month. LeadFuze licenses a monthly US contact file, an enrichment API and a visitor pixel, with its license quoted at $1,500 to $2,000 a month.

Can I use Jesse and LeadFuze together?

Yes, if you already license LeadFuze's data. Use Jesse to find companies showing a buying signal now, and export the list to CSV from the $9 Pro plan. Then match those companies against your LeadFuze file or Enrichment API to fill in contacts. The license already covers the data, so Jesse only supplies the timing.

What are the alternatives to LeadFuze for former app users?

Former LeadFuze app users need a self-serve tool, which LeadFuze no longer offers. Jesse's free plan gives 1,000 credits, about 100 searches, with buying signals attached. Apollo.io has a free plan with 900 credits a year and paid seats from $49 per user a month, billed annually. See our guide to LeadFuze alternatives.

What's the best LeadFuze alternative for a solo founder?

For a solo founder doing founder-led sales, Jesse Pro, at $9 a month, finds companies with a reason to call, with email and phone enrichment. LeadFuze's license, at $1,500 a month or more, is built for data teams rather than one seller. If you mainly need emails for known names, Apollo.io's free plan is another place to start.

Can I cancel LeadFuze and get a refund?

You can cancel, but not by email. LeadFuze's terms say cancellation must be done in the portal's Settings or Billing section, before the renewal date, or the plan renews automatically. All payments are non-refundable, including unused credits and partial periods. A signed data license agreement overrides these terms where they conflict.
