FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do consultancies use Forager mobile numbers?

Help accountants and business banks reach founders of newly registered companies before competitors. 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 consultancies?

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

Why do consultancies add mobile numbers?

Reach the decision-makers on every project. Products like yours are judged on contacts that connect for every client, which is why the cost that counts is per result that reaches the right person. Run your own sample to see what mobile numbers returns for your users before you build on it.

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).

What inputs does it take and what does it return?

You send client ICP, territory and brand size band. You get back phone_number, work_email, brand list and buying committee per account, from POST /person_contacts_lookup/phone_numbers/, as JSON.

Can our users see Forager data in our product?

Yes, under platform terms. Self-serve plans cover internal use by your own team. Showing Forager contacts to your users, or passing records on, is licensed separately: talk to sales about volume and which fields your users need to see.

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.

Can consultancies test mobile numbers 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 find hiring manager from a job posting?

Define per-client signal keywords and run POST /job_search/ daily (title, description keywords, location). Find the hiring manager and peer stakeholders with POST /person_role_search/.

How accurate is Forager data?

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.

Where can I use Forager mobile numbers?

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.
