Key takeaways
- UpLead is a B2B contact database where one credit buys one contact.
- UpLead offers intent data on its Professional plan; Pebbles Ai has none.
- Pebbles Ai finds people by role and location at 1 to 10 named companies and returns no phone numbers.
- Pebbles Ai adds a CRM, labelled Beta, and outreach drafting in the same workspace.
What is each product built for
UpLead is built to sell contact data, and Pebbles Ai is built to turn a target list into conversations. UpLead's pricing page describes credit-based contacts, one credit per contact, on Essentials, Plus and Professional plans, monthly or annual, single-user except Professional, with intent data on Professional.
Pebbles Ai is a workspace where the assistants find leads, keep them in a CRM, write outreach from your Company Intel and help you reply in Smartbox.
Where UpLead is stronger
UpLead is stronger when what you need is a contact list and nothing more. Buying contacts by the credit, one credit per contact, suits a team that only needs the list, and intent data on its top plan points you towards accounts showing interest.
Pebbles Ai serves leads from its own GDPR-compliant B2B contact database at the companies you name, but it does not return phone numbers and has no intent data, so a team that only wants lists to load into its existing tools may prefer UpLead.
- Straightforward contact list buying.
- Intent data on its top plan.
Where Pebbles Ai differs
Pebbles Ai differs by finding leads at the companies you name and carrying them through to a draft. Find fresh leads searches 1 to 10 named companies by role and location, up to 100 leads a run, and each lead lands as a CRM contact with a work email where one is found, a confidence score and a catch-all flag.
From there the leads sit in a built-in CRM, labelled Beta, with custom fields, deals, Kanban, saved views, ICPs, tasks and notes. The assistants write email and LinkedIn outreach, up to seven touches, from your Company Intel and save emails as drafts in your connected Gmail or Outlook; they draft rather than send an automated sequence.
Which should your team pick
Pick UpLead if you need contact data to feed tools you already have, and Pebbles Ai if you need the finding, record keeping and writing in one place.
As an illustration, a team with a sending tool and a CRM already in place may only be short of email addresses, which is UpLead's job. A two-person founding team with no stack yet may get more from naming eight target companies, finding the heads of finance there and having first drafts written in their own voice, all in Pebbles Ai.
What to check before switching
Check whether you rely on phone numbers or intent data, because Pebbles Ai offers neither. Existing contacts move by CSV export into the Pebbles Ai CRM.
- Whether your prospecting starts from named companies or from broad database searches.
- Whether a work email with a confidence score and catch-all flag is enough for your outreach.
- Who on the team needs access; UpLead plans are single-user except Professional.

Common questions
Is Pebbles Ai a contact database like UpLead?
Partly. Leads come from Pebbles Ai's own growing B2B contact database, GDPR compliant, but it is a workspace rather than a data vendor: it finds people by role and location at the 1 to 10 companies you name in each run, then helps you research and write to them.
Does Pebbles Ai return phone numbers for UpLead users switching over?
No. Each lead comes with a work email where one is found, a confidence score and a catch-all flag, but no phone number.
How do I move UpLead contacts into Pebbles Ai?
Export them from UpLead as a CSV and import the file into the Pebbles Ai CRM.
