Subheading: ZoomInfo used to be the default for B2B data — but in 2025, sales teams are waking up to what it really costs them.
📉 The Problem Isn’t Just Price — It’s ROI
When sales teams complain about ZoomInfo, the conversation usually starts like this:
“Yeah, it’s expensive… but we thought it was the only option.”
And that’s the trap.
ZoomInfo doesn’t just cost tens of thousands of dollars per year — it also costs you:
- ⚠️ Wasted time chasing bad data
- ⚠️ Locked-in contracts with no flexibility
- ⚠️ Revenue lost from bounced emails
- ⚠️ Reps frustrated by low connect rates
- ⚠️ Overly complex onboarding and bloated workflows
In 2025, modern GTM teams are saying:
“Why are we paying enterprise prices for a tool that gives us batch exports and stale contacts?”

😓 ZoomInfo Pain Points We Hear Weekly
🔒 “We’re locked into a contract — no way out.” ZoomInfo’s sales process is aggressive, and the contracts are ironclad. Teams get stuck in year-long commitments even if results dip.
📉 “Too much junk data.” We’ve seen dozens of screenshots showing bounce rates over 25%, especially outside the U.S. and in niche verticals.
🤖 “The platform is overkill.” Most teams only use a small fraction of ZoomInfo’s features — but they still pay for the whole thing.
❌ “We can’t track ROI.” Without pay-per-performance, it’s impossible to know what’s working and what’s waste.
