Getting Started
What is Bond, and how can it help me find clients?
Bond helps B2B consultants and advisors find potential business clients and prepare outreach. Build a prospect list, find work emails and available phone numbers, research companies and draft relevant messages. Review the output before using it for your outreach.
Who is Bond for?
Consultants, advisors, fractional leaders and small B2B service businesses finding clients for their own services. Bond is especially useful today if you already use Instantly or HeyReach.
What do I get from Bond?
A prospect list, available contact details, email verification results, company research and draft messages. You choose what to use and review the targeting, facts and wording before reaching out. Phone lookup is optional and uses additional credits when a number is found.
How do I send my messages?
Use your own Instantly account for email or HeyReach account for LinkedIn. Paid plans include the integrations and CSV export for other tools. Sending subscriptions and setup are separate. Native sending is being developed.
Do I need technical skills?
You do not need to write code. Explain the service you sell and the businesses you want to approach, then review the results. To use the sending integrations, you need your own working account and the setup required for that channel. Paid CSV export supports other workflows too.
Can I review and edit my outreach?
Review your list and edit the messages before transferring the information to your sending tool. Check that the companies, facts and tone fit your business. You decide what outreach to send.
Credits and plans
Which plan should I choose?
Start with Free to evaluate the work. Starter is a practical first paid plan for a consultant preparing outreach for their own business with an existing sending setup. Move to Pro or Growth when you need more credits or their additional features. Enterprise covers custom requirements.
How do credits work?
Credits pay for steps such as contact searches, email checks, company research and message drafts. Most actions use one credit per prospect. A successful phone lookup uses ten. One prospect may need several actions, so credits are not a contact count.
How much might one campaign use?
A basic list with checked emails typically uses about 3–4 credits per prospect. Research and personalized messages typically bring that to about 5–7. For 100 people, that fuller email preparation is about 500–700 credits before phone lookup. Actual usage depends on your choices and results.
What are the people-per-list limits?
Free allows up to 50 people imported into a list. Starter allows up to 500. Pro and Growth have no fixed people-per-list cap, but searches, research and message preparation still use credits. List capacity and available credits are separate.
Do phone numbers cost extra credits?
Yes. Phone lookup uses ten credits when a number is found. Adding a successful phone lookup to a 5–7-credit email preparation makes the total about 15–17 credits for that prospect.
Do failed contact lookups use credits?
No. A contact lookup that returns no result does not use credits.
Which activities do not use credits?
Chatting with Bond, reviewing your list and existing drafts, and exporting or transferring prepared information do not use data credits. New searches, email verification, research and message generation do. Export and integration access require a paid plan.
What happens to unused credits?
Unused credits roll over for one month. You can use them during that rollover period, including after cancellation.
What if I need a different plan?
Compare the allowances and features on the pricing page, or contact our team about the plan that fits your next campaign. Annual billing is available at about 10% less than twelve monthly payments; the annual total is paid according to the billing terms shown.
What happens if I cancel?
Cancelling does not prevent you from using credits that remain valid during their one-month rollover period.
Choosing the right tool
How should I compare Bond with Clay?
Prepare the same real outreach task in both tools. Compare company fit, available contact details, research, message quality, review time and total cost. Bond brings preparation into a conversational workflow with Instantly/HeyReach handoff and paid CSV export.
How should I compare credits across tools?
Compare the cost of a usable list and messages, including optional phone lookup, research, verification and sending. Credit counts alone do not tell you how much finished work you will get.
How should I compare Bond with Apollo?
Use the same target companies and campaign requirements. Inspect the useful output and the work needed to send it. Include the tools, subscriptions and review time in your comparison.
Can I use Bond if I already have other prospecting tools?
Compare the preparation you still need with what Bond produces: a list, contact lookup, research and draft messages. You do not need a separate ZoomInfo or Sales Navigator subscription to use Bond.
Should I switch if my current workflow works well?
Try one real campaign and compare the results and effort. Choose the workflow that produces useful outreach at a cost your business can sustain.
Targeting, contacts and messages
How does Bond help me choose companies to approach?
Describe the businesses you want to work with and the people you want to contact. Relevant changes such as funding, hiring or new leadership can help you identify a reason to reach out. These events suggest a possible need; they do not prove someone is ready to buy.
Can Bond find companies using the specific criteria I need?
Explain your targeting requirements and review the results. For specialist requirements, ask our team about current filters and data coverage before buying.
Where do the contact details come from?
Bond checks multiple contact-data providers for work emails and available phone numbers. Email verification is included. Coverage varies by contact and market, and verification cannot guarantee delivery or a reply.
How are the messages written?
Bond uses company research and information about your services to draft outreach. Review the facts and edit the wording so the message represents your business and offer.
What setup do I need to send?
For the integrations, you need your own Instantly email account and inbox setup, or your own HeyReach account and its LinkedIn setup. Those costs are separate from Bond. Paid CSV export lets you use other tools.
What integrations are included?
Paid plans connect to Instantly and HeyReach and include CSV export. Pro and above support provider/model account keys and webhooks. Custom CRM integrations are available on Enterprise.
What help is available?
All plans include help documentation and community resources. Growth adds priority support and support through Slack. If you want our team to manage setup and campaigns, ask about the separately priced Bond VIP service.
Bond VIP
What is Bond VIP?
Bond VIP is our separate managed outbound service. Our team handles the setup and campaign work agreed for your business.
How is VIP different from self-serve?
With self-serve, you use Bond to prepare outreach and operate the sending through your own tools. With VIP, our team manages the agreed setup and ongoing campaign work. VIP is not included in the software subscription.
How is VIP priced?
Apply for a conversation about your goals, target clients and outreach volume. We propose a monthly service plan for the agreed scope, separate from self-serve credit plans.
When can a VIP campaign launch?
We agree on the timeline after reviewing your requirements, current sending setup and our team's availability.
How should I compare VIP with hiring or outsourcing?
Compare the proposed service scope, monthly cost and responsibilities with the support your business needs. Ask for a proposal you can evaluate alongside other options.
How do I apply?
Use the Bond VIP application or Contact Sales button on the pricing page to discuss your goals and whether the service is a fit.
Data and export
How does Bond use data providers?
Bond uses contact-data and AI providers to prepare outreach. If your business has specific data-handling or security requirements, contact our team before choosing a plan.
Can I download my list?
Yes. All paid plans include CSV export so you can use your prepared information with your existing tools.
