General

How Outfound works and what you get

What does Outfound actually do?

Outfound helps exporters compare markets, find suitable buyers and manage the first conversation. Research countries for your product, discover companies with evidence for the fit, build an outreach strategy from your website, send personalized emails and see every reply alongside the contact it came from. Market research packs are purchased separately from monthly discovery and sending plans.

Where does the data come from?

Company intelligence comes from the live web: Outfound reads each company's own site and public sources when you ask, and keeps the quotes and links it used, so every fit decision has evidence you can check. Contact data is enriched from several premium providers and verified before you unlock it, which keeps bounces low and protects your domain.

Will my domain be safe?

Sending runs on a separate sending domain that Outfound provisions for you, with SPF, DKIM, DMARC and link branding set up and monitored (plus reverse DNS on a dedicated IP). Every plan includes shared sending infrastructure; a dedicated IP is available as a monthly add-on. Warm-up is adaptive and gated on health signals, and campaigns pause automatically if placement drops. Your main domain is never used for cold outreach.

Can my team work in one workspace?

Yes. Invite your team into one workspace, share projects and lead lists, and follow pipeline activity together. Admins control who can view leads, run campaigns and manage billing.

Is there an API?

Connect Outfound to your workflows with outbound webhooks. Lead replies, completed campaigns and discoveries, and sending problems can be sent to Zapier, Make or your own server. There is no public REST API or customer API key page yet. Tell us what you need through Request an integration in the app.

Can I try it for free?

Yes, once your account is open. We are opening accounts in stages and new accounts are invite-only for now. Request early access and we will open yours when your turn comes.

Once it is open, you try the real product without a card: 20 company discoveries and 40 email drafts are free. Contacts' email addresses and phone numbers stay hidden and sending is off until you subscribe to a plan.

What kind of support does Outfound provide?

Every plan includes email and chat support. The help centre has step-by-step articles and video guides; the support assistant answers from these articles and can hand your question to the team. Enterprise customers also get priority support and a dedicated account manager.

What does market research include?

Describe one product, add your price list if you have one, and compare candidate countries. The report brings together demand, competing suppliers, tariffs, freight assumptions, requirements to verify and a market entry plan, with sources. Market research uses separately purchased research credits; it is not part of the monthly discovery allowance.

Pricing

Plans, monthly limits, upgrades and cancellation

How does pricing work?

Monthly subscriptions in US dollars, with no per-seat fees. Starter is $99, Growth $249 and Scale $549 per month, renewing automatically each month; no Turkish VAT is charged to businesses outside Türkiye. Customers in Türkiye pay in Turkish lira, VAT included (see the Turkish pricing page). Each plan includes a monthly allowance of qualified company discoveries, email drafts and email sends on shared sending infrastructure; a dedicated IP is available as a $49/month add-on.

Discovery is risk-controlled: we scan thousands of companies but only count the ones that match your criteria, and each qualified company usually brings several relevant contacts at no extra cost. Limits reset at the start of each period and unused limits do not carry over. You can upgrade at any time: you pay the prorated difference for the rest of the period and the prorated extra allowance is added straight away. Downgrades apply from the next period.

How do cancellation and refunds work?

You can cancel your subscription at any time in one step from the plan page. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you have already paid for: you keep access until then and are not charged again. Because the service is digital and starts as soon as payment is confirmed, the current period is not refunded.

If the service could not be provided at all because of a technical problem on our side, or you were charged twice by mistake, write to support@outfound.ai and we will review it and refund where appropriate.

Do you offer custom pricing for agencies and enterprises?

Yes. For agencies and large teams with high-volume needs we offer Enterprise plans with custom monthly limits, priority support, dedicated IPs, custom integrations and flexible billing. Contact us to discuss your requirements.

Is market research included in my plan?

Market research is purchased separately in packs of 1, 3 or 5 research credits. Each new research project for one product uses one credit. Unused research credits do not expire and do not reset with your monthly subscription. See research packs.

Security

Your data, your contacts and your sending domain

How does Outfound ensure data security and privacy?

Outfound takes data security seriously. We use industry-standard encryption (SSL/TLS) for all data transfers, store data in secure cloud infrastructure, and comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations. Your lead data and campaign information are protected with strict access controls and regular security audits.

How is my data encrypted?

Outfound uses SSL/TLS encryption for all data in transit and AES-256 encryption for data at rest. Your lead data, campaign content, and account information are protected with industry-standard security measures at all times.

Is Outfound GDPR compliant?

Yes, Outfound is fully GDPR compliant. We provide tools for data export and deletion requests, maintain transparent data processing policies, and ensure all lead data is handled in accordance with European data protection regulations.

Can I control team member access to data?

Yes, Outfound offers role-based access controls. Organization admins can set permissions for team members, controlling who can view leads, run campaigns, manage billing, and access sensitive data. This ensures your team only sees what they need.

How do you protect against unauthorized access?

Outfound uses secure authentication via Clerk, supports two-factor authentication, implements rate limiting to prevent abuse, and maintains audit logs of account activity. We conduct regular security reviews to identify and address potential vulnerabilities.

How is my data backed up?

Outfound performs regular automated backups of all data to secure cloud storage. Our infrastructure is designed for high availability with redundancy across multiple data centers, ensuring your data is safe and accessible when you need it.
