RocketReach: $39-249/month (40-300 lookups) Rova: $49 once, unlimited runs

The RocketReach lookup problem

40 lookups for $39/month. That is less than $1 per contact - which sounds cheap until you realize you need 200+ leads for a decent outbound campaign.
Credits don't roll over. Any unused lookups at end of month are gone. You're incentivized to rush through your quota rather than be selective.
Bulk lists cost enterprise pricing. Pulling 500+ contacts requires the $249/month Pro plan or a custom quote. That's $2,988/year for data you use once.
Email accuracy is variable. RocketReach aggregates data from multiple sources - email bounce rates can be 10-20% depending on list quality.
No local data ownership. Every search goes through RocketReach's servers. Your prospect lists are their product.
