In short

What each tool is

ZoomInfo is the incumbent enterprise B2B data platform — a deep contact database wrapped with intent data, conversation intelligence (Chorus), and sequencing (Engage), bundled into modular contracts. Pricing for paid plans is opaque: no public pricing page, demo request required, contracts typically annual or multi-year. ZoomInfo Lite (their free tier) gives limited contact reveals in exchange for sharing your own contact data and consenting to ZoomInfo outreach. Built for enterprise sales teams with dedicated procurement and a renewal motion.

Tnuki is built for the team that just wants to start prospecting — without a contract, sales call, or credit ledger. AI-first: type what you need in plain English and five AI agents (Intelligence, Signal, Contact/Waterfall, Drafting, Concierge) handle research, contact verification, and personalized drafting in parallel.

Frequently asked

Common questions about Tnuki vs ZoomInfo

Is Tnuki actually free, or is there a catch?
Tnuki is free at usable limits — full access to chat and recurring Plays. No signup, no credit card, no sales call. Paid tiers (higher volume, daily Plays) launch in 2026 with public pricing.
Can Tnuki replace ZoomInfo for me?
For most teams running trigger-based outreach: yes. Tnuki replaces the prospecting, enrichment, and drafting layers ZoomInfo bundles. If you depend on Chorus for call intelligence or Engage for high-volume sequencing, you'll want to keep those (or pair Tnuki with your sequencer of choice) until those features ship.
Does Tnuki have as many contacts as ZoomInfo?
ZoomInfo's strength is a large refreshed-on-cycle contact database. Tnuki's contact discovery is real-time — we search the web as you ask and waterfall across multiple verification providers — so Tnuki often finds contacts that don't yet exist in ZoomInfo's last scrape, including newly-hired roles, recent moves, and emerging companies. For bulk batch enrichment of 100K+ CRM records at once, ZoomInfo's static API is faster.
What about Chorus and Engage — does Tnuki replace those?
Not today. Chorus (conversation intelligence) and Engage (sequencing) are separate ZoomInfo modules. Tnuki focuses on the prospecting + drafting layer. Sequencing is on Tnuki's 2026 roadmap; conversation intelligence is not currently planned.
Does Tnuki integrate with Salesforce or HubSpot?
Not natively yet — current options are CSV export and Zapier. Native CRM sync is on the 2026 roadmap.
Can I use ZoomInfo and Tnuki together?
Yes. Common pattern through a renewal cycle: keep ZoomInfo for bulk enrichment + Chorus + Engage; add Tnuki for the morning Plays (priority accounts, trigger-grounded drafts). Many teams use Tnuki to surface the day's targets, then sequence them through their existing Engage seat.
What about data privacy and GDPR?
Tnuki retrieves only public information (LinkedIn, company sites, news, regulatory filings) via licensed APIs. No scraped private data, no purchased lists. Contact verification happens through GDPR-compliant providers.
Why would I switch from ZoomInfo to Tnuki?
Three reasons: (1) Tnuki is free with no signup, no credit card, no sales call — ZoomInfo Lite asks for your contact data in trade and full access requires a demo + contract, (2) Tnuki's signal layer monitors news + social + regulatory feeds 24/7, included — ZoomInfo's intent layer is tier-gated to higher packages, (3) Tnuki's drafts are grounded in the actual buying trigger, not just firmographic match.
