GridRouter as a BetterContact alternative
Routing, one API, one key and MCP are free. Paid plans will charge for storage and operations at scale.
- Bring your own keys on the free plan, not only on Enterprise.
- An MCP server, so an agent can call every capability directly.
- Every call and attempt logged, with which vendor answered and what it billed.
- More than contact data: company, signals, technographics and SERP under one schema per capability.
Stay with BetterContact if: You want a finished email and phone finder with a UI, Google Sheets and HubSpot integrations. You'd rather pay one vendor per valid result than hold your own vendor contracts. You want catch-all verification included in the price.
