FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do financial services and fintech companies use Forager mobile numbers?

Let dealmakers build private-company target lists, attach owners and leadership, and find best-fit buyers for sell-side mandates. Direct mobile numbers for a person, from a LinkedIn URL or a Forager person ID, validated before they reach you. This page walks through 3 workflows with the exact steps.

What do mobile numbers cost for financial services and fintech companies?

Mobile numbers: 15 credits per mobile number found, and a mobile number lookup that finds nothing costs 0 credits. That is $0.20 per mobile number on Starter month to month and $0.15 on Pro with yearly billing. Self-serve plans are Starter, Growth, Pro and Scale. See plans and prices

Which financial services and fintech workflows use mobile numbers?

Power private-market deal sourcing and buyer lists with a company feed, turn new company incorporations into contactable founders and prospect finance leaders when companies hire their first finance-ops role. Each is on this page with its trigger, steps and outcome.

How do I find owners of private companies contact?

Screen private companies in company_feed (industry, employees, location, founded date). Attach owners and leadership from people_feed.

What do I send, and what comes back?

You send director names, finance role keywords and geography. You get back phone_number, acquirer list, company and corp-dev contacts, from POST /person_contacts_lookup/phone_numbers/, as JSON.

Am I charged when no mobile number is found?

No. A mobile number lookup that finds nothing costs 0 credits, so you pay for mobile numbers we find. Search, enrichment and reverse lookups are the exception: they are charged per request.

Is there a free way to try Forager?

Yes. Create a free account at app.forager.ai: it comes with $5 in free credits and an API key, and there is no credit card to sign up. Run it on records you already know, or book a demo and send us a list: we run it and show you what we find.

How can an accountancy firm reach newly incorporated companies?

Pull new incorporations and director names from the public register. Fetch personal_email and mobile (new companies rarely have a work domain).

How do I know the data is right?

Forager ranked #1 of 10 in Clay's 2026 test of mobile data providers, by quality score: Clay's measure of how likely a dialled number reaches the right person. The test that counts is your own: send a list of profiles you care about. We run it and show you what we find, number by number, so you can measure hit rate and connect rate yourself.

How is a mobile number lookup API different from a contact database?

A contact database sells access to a list, often by seat or by export. A lookup API answers one person at a time inside your product or workflow: you send the LinkedIn URL or email you already hold and get back a mobile number in one JSON response. With Forager a mobile number lookup that finds nothing costs 0 credits, so you pay for numbers, not for searches.

Does Forager integrate with the tools we already use?

Native in Clay and Zapier, partner-built in Deepline and Cargo and called through the API from Make, n8n and your own code. Everything else connects through the REST API with one API key.

Is there a contract or minimum commitment?

No contract to start: a free account comes with $5 in credits. To keep using mobile numbers, choose a monthly or yearly plan. Monthly plans cancel anytime and unused credits roll over; yearly plans grant all credits upfront and cost 10% less. Larger volumes are agreed with our team.
