| Pricing and trial |
BIGContacts offers a permanent Free plan and a contact-based Business plan. The Business page displays a $19.99 reference rate and a $9.99 promotional rate per month per 1,000 contacts, with a 2,000-contact minimum for the annual state. Monthly billing is advertised, but no monthly amount is reliably bound in the public page text. Buyers with 20,000 or more contacts are directed to request enterprise pricing. Paid subscriptions are billed in advance; the official terms state a one-month minimum for monthly subscriptions and a one-year minimum for annual subscriptions.
|
Sansan publishes no numeric price. Buyers request a tailored quote; the official pricing page identifies initial digitization, license, option, and scanner-set components. Sansan states a standard one-year term and at least 10 users, but public sources do not establish payment timing, renewal terms, or cancellation terms. Full profile |

| Rank | #1 | #4 |
| Context | Sales & CRM / Contact Management Software | Sales & CRM / Contact Management Software |
| Contact organization quality | 85BIGContacts supports shared contact profiles with emails, notes, meetings, tasks, files, and activity history, so it can organize a contact-centric workflow well for teams that want one shared record per relationship. The score is held below the top of the scale because the supplied facts do not establish enterprise-grade territory or governance depth. | 87A company-wide business-card and contact database with organization trees and relationship visibility supports shared structural views of accounts, while AI-assisted and human-verified digitization improves card-to-record quality at intake. |
| Interaction history and context | 88The product captures incoming emails under the contact record and supports activity history, which gives users direct context for ongoing relationship work. The score is limited only by the fact that the supplied facts do not establish advanced interaction analytics beyond the stated CRM context features. | 80Contacts can carry email, call, meeting, and sales-history context, Contact Inbox can extract signature and sender details under Gmail or Exchange Online integration where the feature is regionally available, and optional Salesforce opportunity information can appear on company pages. |
| Contact data hygiene | 84BIGContacts includes CSV import controls for duplicate exclusion and a built-in option to identify and merge duplicate contacts, which supports cleaner contact records. The score is moderated because the facts do not establish broader automated data-quality governance beyond duplicate handling. | 86Automatic and manual duplicate combination plus AI-assisted and human-verified business-card digitization support cleaner shared records as cards and imports accumulate. |
| Follow-up reliability | 80Task calendars, reminders, team assignment, and workflow automation support follow-up tracking and shared execution. The score is below the top range because the facts do not establish a published SLA or independently verified service performance for follow-up delivery. | 72Targeted contact lists and engagement tracking let teams group people and monitor engagement activity so follow-up prioritization can run from the shared database rather than scattered personal lists. |
| Search and segmentation | 75The product includes custom fields and lists, which can support practical filtering and segmentation of contact groups. The score stays moderate because the supplied facts do not specify advanced search, saved segment logic, or more complex segmentation controls. | 71Organization trees, relationship visibility, and targeted contact lists support locating people by company structure and building outreach or engagement segments inside the shared database. |
| Sharing and permissions | 75The Business plan includes unlimited users and verified role-based permissions, which supports multi-user sharing of contact work. The score is held down because cross-domain contact sharing is not publicly stated and the facts do not establish deeper governance controls. | 76The product is built as a governed company-wide shared contact database with two-factor authentication included and SAML 2.0 available as a paid contract option for external authentication. |
| Import, export, and sync quality | 69The product supports CSV import, XML backup/export, and a Google Contacts sync path through Zapier with configurable one-way or two-way sync. The score is tempered because sync frequency depends on the Zapier plan and the supplied facts do not establish deletion behavior or conflict resolution. | 58Sansan supports CSV export, optional Outlook contact synchronization, and optional Salesforce Opportunity Integration, but Outlook sync is one-way and scheduled every 30 minutes, so the integration score is reduced by the limited directionality and by the fact that other sync behaviors are not fully established. |
