# Pubrio vs ZoomInfo

> Comparing Pubrio and ZoomInfo for B2B data and enrichment — accessible global data with Free plan and full API parity vs the NA enterprise contact incumbent at $15K–$60K+/yr quote-only pricing.

## TL;DR

**Pubrio** is a glocalized B2B data layer — global coverage with the long-tail and regional depth that NA-centric tools miss, available with a Free plan, transparent per-credit pricing, and full API parity across paid tiers. **ZoomInfo** is the incumbent enterprise contact database — strongest in NA, with an integrated platform (Engage, ReachOut, Scoops) and quote-only pricing typically running \$15K–\$60K+ per year.

Pick Pubrio if you want to start without a sales call, need API access without entitlement gating, or your ICP extends beyond mainstream NA enterprise. Pick ZoomInfo if NA enterprise is your sole market and a 12-month enterprise contract is a fit.

### Bundled platform tools

ZoomInfo bundles a full sales-engagement platform alongside its data — Engage (Salesflows + Sales Dialer) and the ReachOut Chrome extension. Pubrio is a pure data and signal layer; it integrates into whatever engagement stack you already use (Apollo, HubSpot, Outreach, Salesloft, Salesforce, or your own).

If you need a bundled engagement platform, ZoomInfo includes one. If you have your own engagement stack, Pubrio gives you the data and signals to feed it without paying for tools you already own.

## Monitors: a developer-ready signal pipeline

Pubrio's [Monitors](/en/api-reference/endpoint/monitors/monitors) wrap signal detection, company enrichment, optional people enrichment, and webhook delivery into a single configuration — no polling loops, no state tracking, no separate webhook entitlement.

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Real-time delivery" icon="bolt">
    `frequency_minute: 0` — signals delivered as detected, no polling required.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Built-in deduplication" icon="filter">
    No state tracking on your end. Pubrio handles which signals you've already seen.
  </Card>

  <Card title="One-config pipeline" icon="layer-group">
    Signal + company enrichment + people enrichment in a single configuration. No multi-call stitching.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Built-in retry + delivery logs" icon="rotate-right">
    Auto-pause on repeated failure. Full delivery history visible in the dashboard.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

ZoomInfo offers Scoops + Streaming Intent for signals and webhooks via the Scaling/Monitoring API entitlement, but they're separately configured products with separate paid entitlements — not a single integrated pipeline.

→ See the [Monitor integration guide](/en/developer-guides/introduction) for setup, webhook validation, and end-to-end examples.

## Switching from ZoomInfo

<Steps>
  <Step title="Try the API">
    Sign up at [dashboard.pubrio.com](https://dashboard.pubrio.com) on the Free plan. No sales call, no contract.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Run a parallel sample">
    Pick 100–500 accounts from your CRM — ideally weighted toward where ZoomInfo's match rate or recency has been weakest. Enrich through both providers and compare match rate, contact recency, and field completeness.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Validate signal workflows">
    Pubrio's Monitors deliver real-time jobs, news, and ad signals with built-in enrichment. Compare against ZoomInfo Scoops / Streaming Intent for noise, latency, and credit cost.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Plan the cutover">
    Most teams run both in parallel for one cycle, then migrate enrichment workflows once parity is confirmed for their ICP. [Get in touch](https://pubrio.com/en/get-in-touch) for migration support.
  </Step>
