Salesgenie
Salesgenie is Data Axle's lead list platform for small and mid sized businesses selling in the United States and Canada. Users search a compiled database of about 15 million US businesses and a million in Canada, with new business filings and consumer records alongside for companies that sell to households, run unlimited searches and record views, and spend credits to export records or reveal emails. Lead Manager tracks notes, tags, status, tasks and alerts on new matching records, and the Team package adds lead assignment and reporting.
The Smart AI Suite builds a list from a few plain questions and shows the filters it chose, surfaces conversation hooks on a business record, and drafts pitches and follow ups from typed or spoken notes for the user to send from their own email. In app email campaigns add templates, seed tests and open and click tracking, with unsubscribes and hard bounces suppressed automatically, and the same lists feed direct mail and online display campaigns, with Data Axle's Exact Data team on hand for list buying and agency support. A buyer intent add on scores thousands of topics from an IP based partner.
Records push to Salesforce with field mapping, export to HubSpot, run inside Microsoft Dynamics through an AppSource add on, and reach other systems through search, match and enrich APIs. Data Axle compiles the business file from more than 4,000 phone directories, new business filings, utility connections, press releases and annual reports, and more than 300 researchers verify records with over 20 million calls a year, backed by a satisfaction guarantee that refunds undeliverable or outdated records.
Basic starts at $99 a month, Pro costs $149 and Team $299 for five users, buyer intent adds $50 a month to any plan, and every plan opens on a 12 month term. Data Axle, founded in 1972 as infoUSA and owned by Court Square Capital Partners, is registered as a data broker in California, Texas and Oregon.

The Smart AI Suite builds lists from a few plain questions, finds conversation hooks on business records and drafts pitches and follow ups from typed or spoken notes. The core product is Data Axle's compiled database with search, export, lead management and campaigns, which works the same without those features.
Nothing runs on the customer's behalf. Smart Audiences shows the filters it applied and lets the user change them before building a list, and Smart Outreach drafts messages that the user edits and sends from their own email. Email campaigns are launched by the user, and limits on campaign volume are not described.
The AI tools are hosted in house and trained on Data Axle's own human verified data, and list building shows the filters the AI chose so a user can check its logic. The underlying model is not named, and whether recipients of AI drafted outreach are told it was written by AI is not addressed.
Accuracy is put at 95 percent without a basis, and a blind academic audit of more than 100,000 records ranked Data Axle the most accurate of the five largest providers, with no rate given. Time savings of 15 to 20 hours a week come with no method, no customer results are tied to a named company, and the size of the business file moves between 15 and 19.5 million records.
Email campaigns require a CAN-SPAM waiver and suppress unsubscribes automatically, Data Axle is registered as a data broker in California, Texas and Oregon, honors Global Privacy Control and reports handling 54,934 deletion and 12,042 do not sell requests in 2025. The terms make customers responsible for the TCPA, do not call lists and Canada's anti spam law, the data may include numbers on do not call registries, and no do not call flag or scrub is described.
Data Axle honors rights to know, delete, correct, opt out and limit sensitive data, covers EU and UK rights, has a chief privacy officer and relies on the EU, UK and Swiss Data Privacy Frameworks with independent recourse through the ANA. A lawful basis for compiling business and consumer records is not stated, and a DPA and subprocessor list are not offered.
The business file is compiled from more than 4,000 phone directories and Yellow Pages, over 350 new business sources, filings, utility connections, press releases, websites and annual reports, verified by more than 300 researchers making some 20 million calls a year, and businesses can correct their own records. Consumer records draw on tax and real estate records, voter files and utilities. A satisfaction guarantee refunds bad records, but the legal footing for each source class is not stated.
Data comes from compiled sources, partner providers and researcher phone calls rather than automation of any platform, and records reach CRMs through a Salesforce export with field mapping, a HubSpot export and a Microsoft AppSource add on for Dynamics. No conformance position on the platforms it connects to is stated.
The AI tools run in house, and personal data is not used to train third party AI models. User actions such as saving a list or going back feed improvements to Data Axle's own model, with no opt out described, and retention follows internal policies without stated periods.
AI drafted pitches and follow ups go out from the user's own email or through in app campaigns. Whether recipients learn the message was written with AI, and any position on Article 50 of the EU AI Act, are not addressed.
Records push one way into Salesforce with field mapping, export to HubSpot as contacts, leads and lists, and run inside Microsoft Dynamics through an AppSource add on. Search, match and enrich APIs with a sandbox connect other systems, and lists export to CSV and Excel. Two way sync is not offered.
The AI tools are hosted in house, and personal data may be stored in other countries. The hosting provider, regions and any residency choice are not stated.
Data is protected with encryption, hashing, firewalls and access controls. No SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification, audit report or trust center is available for Salesgenie or Data Axle.
Basic starts at $99 a month for one user on pay as you go credits, Pro costs $149 with a monthly credit allotment, Team costs $299 for five users, and buyer intent adds $50 a month to any plan. Each export or email view costs one credit, but the price of a credit is not given, and every plan starts with a 12 month term before going month to month.
After the 12 month initial term, plans continue month to month and cancel with 30 days' notice by phone. Purchased lists stay exportable for 12 months, a satisfaction guarantee refunds undeliverable or outdated records claimed within 90 days, and data must be returned or destroyed only for non compliance. Whether downloaded records may be kept after the subscription ends is not stated.
In app campaigns remove hard bounces automatically and do not bill bounced sends, suppress unsubscribes, support seed addresses for testing, and run an email hygiene check on uploaded lists. Sending limits, sender authentication and a response to rising complaint rates are not described, and email lists are excluded from the satisfaction guarantee.
The core buyers are firms with 50 to 200 employees and $1 million to $10 million in revenue, selling to businesses in fields such as IT services, HR, legal and office supply or to households in home services, insurance and auto repair. Coverage is the United States and Canada, and Salesgenie counts more than 15,000 active users, none of them identified by company.
