How to test it
Test mobile numbers on your own sample
Pull a sample. Take profiles your users looked up last week.
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 contact-data vendors use Forager mobile numbers?
⌄
Raise mobile and contact coverage inside a contact-data product by blending a complementary source behind existing data. 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 contact-data vendors?
⌄
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 contact-data vendors add mobile numbers?
⌄
Add a mobile source without adding wrong-person numbers. Products like yours are judged on valid finds per dollar, 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 do I license mobile phone data for resale?
⌄
Send records lacking a mobile to POST /person_contacts_lookup/phone_numbers/ in bulk. Cross-validate returned numbers against the vendor's existing records.
What do I send, and what comes back?
⌄
You send candidate profile URL, creator name and CSV (name, company, LinkedIn URL, email). You get back phone_number, personal_email, tier and current owner name, from POST /person_contacts_lookup/phone_numbers/, as JSON.
Can we show Forager data inside 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.
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 do I build a B2B contact database product?
⌄
Load people_feed and company_feed into the search index. Expose filters for industry, size, title and location.
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.
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.
