Is Buzz or Snov.io better?

It depends what you want the tool to do. Snov.io is a low-cost toolkit for finding and verifying emails and running cold email, with unlimited team seats on paid plans; LinkedIn automation and phone enrichment are extra subscriptions. Buzz gives you LinkedIn, email and calls in one $79 seat on monthly billing, or an AI Employee that finds prospects, handles replies and books meetings for you. If you want cheap email prospecting tools, Snov.io fits. If you want multichannel outbound or outbound done for you, Buzz fits.

How much does Snov.io cost?

On November 13, 2026, snov.io/pricing listed a free Trial plan that renews monthly, Starter at $39 a month ($29.25 a month billed annually), Pro S at $99 ($74.25), Pro M at $189 ($141.75), Pro L at $369 ($276.75), Ultra at $738 ($553.50) and a custom-priced Custom Ultra plan. Annual billing saves 25% and 3-month billing saves 5%. LinkedIn Automation is extra at $69 a month per LinkedIn account slot ($62 on annual), with $10 a month off each slot for Sales Suite customers. Enrichment tokens cost $0.02 each.

How much does Buzz cost?

Buzz Core is $79 per seat per month, billed monthly, with LinkedIn and email outreach, phone calling and voicemail drops. AI Employee is custom priced, so you talk to sales. White Label is $1,000 a month for 20 seats, billed annually.

Does Snov.io include LinkedIn automation and calling?

LinkedIn automation is a separate subscription: each LinkedIn account slot costs $69 a month, or $62 a month on an annual plan, with a $10 monthly discount per slot if you also have a Sales Suite plan. Calling is not listed on Snov.io's home or pricing pages as of November 13, 2026; its phone data is for finding numbers. Buzz includes LinkedIn, email and calls in every Core seat.

What is the difference between Snov.io and Buzz AI Employee?

Snov.io gives you tools that you run yourself: lead search, email finder and verifier, warm-up, email and LinkedIn campaigns, a shared inbox and a CRM. You write the sequences and handle the replies. Buzz's AI Employee runs outbound end to end: it finds prospects from a 250M+ contact database, writes and sends across LinkedIn and email, handles replies and objections, follows up and books meetings in Calendly.

Can I try Buzz for free?

Yes. You can start free on Buzz and upgrade to Core when you are ready to send. Snov.io also has a free Trial plan with 50 credits and 100 recipients a month, and a free 7-day trial of LinkedIn Automation.

Buzz vs Snov.io: Cold Email Platform or AI Employee?

Buzz vs Snov.io on price and channels. Snov.io Starter is $39/mo ($29.25 annual); Buzz Core is $79/seat monthly with LinkedIn, email and calls.

Quick answer: Pick Snov.io if you mainly want a low-cost cold email and lead-finding toolkit: email finder and verifier, warm-up, email campaigns and a simple CRM, with unlimited team seats and Starter from $39 a month ($29.25 a month billed annually). LinkedIn automation and phone enrichment are sold separately. Pick Buzz if you want LinkedIn, email and calls in one seat for $79 a month billed monthly, or an AI Employee that finds prospects, handles replies and books meetings for you. Snov.io details below come from its own pricing and home pages, checked on November 13, 2026.

Snov.io and Buzz both help B2B teams find leads and run outbound, but they are built differently. Snov.io is a modular sales toolkit: a Sales Suite plan (credits for finding and verifying emails, plus recipients for email campaigns), with LinkedIn Automation and Enrichment as separate subscriptions. Buzz is an outbound platform: one seat covers LinkedIn, email and calls, or an AI Employee does the prospecting, writing, replies and booking. This guide compares them on channels, AI, data and price.

Pricing: what you actually pay

Snov.io splits its pricing into three products. The Sales Suite plans can be paid monthly, every 3 months (5% off) or annually (25% off). Paid Sales Suite plans include unlimited team seats, unlimited senders, campaigns and follow-ups, and unlimited monthly emails:

Trial: free and renews every month. 50 credits, 100 recipients, 25 enrichment tokens and 1 email warm-up slot. Integrations, bulk search, bulk verification, teamwork, A/B testing, API and export are not included.
Starter: $39 a month, $37.05 a month on 3-month billing, or $29.25 a month billed annually. 1,000 credits, 5,000 recipients, 75 enrichment tokens and 3 email warm-ups.
Pro S: $99 a month, or $74.25 a month billed annually. 5,000 credits, 25,000 recipients, 150 enrichment tokens and unlimited warm-ups.
Pro M, Pro L and Ultra: $189, $369 and $738 a month ($141.75, $276.75 and $553.50 a month billed annually), with 20,000, 50,000 and 100,000 credits and 50,000, 100,000 and 200,000 recipients.
Custom Ultra: custom priced, from 200,000 credits and 400,000 recipients.
LinkedIn Automation: a separate subscription at $69 a month per LinkedIn account slot, or $62 a month on an annual plan. Sales Suite customers get $10 a month off each slot. There is a free 7-day trial.
Enrichment: a separate subscription for phone numbers and lead data, paid in tokens at $0.02 each. Token packages are valid for 90 days.

A credit pays for finding or verifying an email. A recipient is charged the first time you contact a lead; follow-ups to that lead in the same billing period are free. Snov.io says unused recipients expire after 30 days.

Buzz keeps it simple:

Core: $79 per seat per month, billed monthly. Includes LinkedIn and email outreach, phone calling, voicemail drops, CRM integrations and AI message drafting.
AI Employee: custom priced, so you talk to sales.
White Label: $1,000 a month for 20 seats, billed annually. See Buzz white label.

Bottom line on price: Snov.io Starter is cheaper for email alone at $39 a month for the whole team. Add one LinkedIn slot on monthly billing and you pay $39 plus $59 ($69 less the $10 Sales Suite discount), so $98 a month, and calling still needs another tool. One Buzz Core seat is $79 a month billed monthly, with LinkedIn, email and calls included. For a full cost breakdown of AI outbound, read how much an AI SDR costs.

Channels: email, LinkedIn and calls

Snov.io's home and pricing pages (checked November 13, 2026) put email first: domain and mailbox setup, warm-up, deliverability checks and email campaigns with a shared inbox for replies. Its multichannel campaigns combine email and LinkedIn in one flow, but LinkedIn steps need a LinkedIn Automation slot, which is priced separately. Phone numbers come from Enrichment, for finding contact details. Calling and voicemail are not listed on those pages, so we do not claim them.

Buzz includes email, LinkedIn and calls in every Core seat, and the AI Employee can run those steps for you. That matters because one channel alone tends to stall. Our guide on why email-only AI SDRs stall explains why, how to build one LinkedIn and email sequence shows how to set it up, and how to fix email deliverability covers warm-up.

AI and data: toolkit or AI Employee

Snov.io gives you the tools and you run the process. You search its database or LinkedIn for leads, find and verify emails with credits, enrich contacts with tokens, write sequences (with help from its AI Email Writer), and manage replies in its Unibox and deals in its CRM. It detects bookings made through Calendly, but you still handle the conversations yourself.

Buzz's AI Employee does the outbound work itself. It learns your business, finds prospects in a 250M+ contact database that match your ideal customer profile, builds campaigns across LinkedIn and email, handles replies and objections, follows up when people go quiet, and books meetings in Calendly. Learn more in what an AI Employee is.
