ZoomInfo Alternative for Construction Data
Why teams look for alternatives
Enterprise B2B platforms like ZoomInfo charge $15K to $30K per year for access to a database of 100M+ contacts. If you only need commercial contractor data, you're paying for 99% of contacts you'll never use. Generic platforms can't segment by trade, project type, or license class, so you spend additional time filtering and qualifying before contacts ever reach your CRM.
What SubForge offers instead
SubForge is a managed data service, not a platform. You describe your target commercial construction market. We build a license-verified list from state contractor boards and deliver it as a CSV. Every contractor is license-verified. Every email is deliverability-tested. Every firm is classified by trade and project type focus.
Pricing is $0.50 to $1.50 per record, per project. No annual contract. A targeted list of 1,000 contractors costs $500 to $1,500, not $15,000.
What SubForge doesn't do
We're not a platform. We don't offer intent data, technographics, workflow automation, or email sequencing. If you need those features, keep your existing tools. Use SubForge for the contractor contact data, and run your campaigns through whatever platform you already use.
When SubForge is the right fit
If your TAM is heavily concentrated in commercial construction. If you need decision-maker contacts segmented by trade specialization. If you want accurate data without an enterprise platform contract. If you'd rather spend your budget on data quality than software access.
