How to test it
Test people search on your own sample

Run it. Use a self-serve key, or book a demo and send us the list.
Measure what your users feel. Connect rate for mobiles, bounces for emails, and whether the right person answers.
How do B2B SaaS companies use Forager people search?
⌄
Return the full buying committee (economic buyer, champion, technical evaluator) for an account so reps and agents can multi-thread deals. Find the people who hold a role at target companies, filtered by title, seniority, department and location. This page walks through 3 workflows with the exact steps.
What does people search cost for B2B SaaS companies?
⌄
People search: people search 1 credit per request and people search: role details 1 credit per request, charged whether or not data comes back. 1,000 search requests use 1,000 credits: about $13 of Starter credits month to month, or about $10 on Pro with yearly billing. Self-serve plans are Starter, Growth, Pro and Scale. See plans and prices
Which B2B SaaS workflows use people search?
⌄
Source a role-tagged buying committee for every target account, qualify PLG sign-ups and route enterprise accounts to sales and revive a dead CRM with a one-time contact refresh. Each is on this page with its trigger, steps and outcome.
How do I find buying committee contacts at target account?
⌄
Call POST /person_role_search/ with organization_domains and role_title groups per committee role. Tag each result with a committee role from role_title and seniority.
What inputs does it take and what does it return?
⌄
You send account domain, committee role definitions and CRM export. You get back work_email, phone_number, committee role tag and decision-maker contacts, from POST /person_role_search/, as JSON.
Am I charged when nothing is found?
⌄
Yes. People search is charged per request, whether or not data comes back. Only mobile and email lookups are free when nothing is found, so try your inputs on a small run before you scale.
Can B2B SaaS companies test people search for free?
⌄
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 do I route plg signups to sales by company size?
⌄
Resolve the sign-up with POST /person_detail_reverse_lookup/by_email/ when the address is personal; otherwise use the work domain. Score the employer with POST /organization_search/ (employees_start, industries, funding_types).
How accurate is Forager data?
⌄
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 people search API different from searching profiles by hand?
⌄
Searching by hand works for a handful of accounts. A people search API filters by title, seniority, department and location across your target companies in one request, returns people your product can act on, and hands off to a contact lookup for the mobile or email.
Where can I use Forager people search?
⌄
Native in Clay, partner-built in Deepline and Cargo and called through the API from your own code. Everything else connects through the REST API with one API key.
Do I need a subscription?
⌄
Not to test: a free account comes with $5 in credits. To keep using people search, 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.
