Instead of hunting for email addresses, you send your pitch the way a visitor would: through the form the business already reads. Over the last months it has grown from a simple form filler into a fuller outreach workspace, with a built-in finder for local businesses, an AI writer, deliverability checks, detailed analytics and, since this autumn, AI Assist, which lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other AI apps work inside your account under rules you control.<\/p><p style=\"margin:0 0 16px;\">This is a long, screenshot-heavy review. We walk through every part of the app in the order you meet it: setup, Agents, Find websites, sending and Settings, Analytics, AI credits, AI Assist, plans and billing, and your account. For each part we say what it does, what it costs, where the limits are and what is missing.<\/p><div style=\"background:#FFF3F1;border:1px solid #FAD9D3;border-left:5px solid #EE6055;border-radius:16px;padding:20px 24px;margin:26px 0;\"><div style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-size:16px;color:#C9453B;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.8px;font-weight:700;\">About this review<\/div><div style=\"font-size:16px;\">contactID is made by brandID, the company that publishes this blog, so treat this as a first-party review.

Both use the same account, so Agents, credits and results are the same everywhere.<\/p><figure style=\"margin:30px 0;\"><div style=\"border:1px solid #FAD9D3;border-radius:18px;background:#fff;padding:14px;overflow-x:auto;\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 860 190\" width=\"100%\" style=\"min-width:680px;font-family:'Inter','Segoe UI',system-ui,Arial,sans-serif\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"Product overview\"><rect x=\"10\" y=\"30\" width=\"150\" height=\"96\" rx=\"14\" fill=\"#EE6055\" stroke=\"#EE6055\" stroke-width=\"1.5\"\/><text x=\"85.0\" y=\"60\" text-anchor=\"middle\" font-size=\"15\" font-weight=\"700\" fill=\"#fff\">Agent<\/text><text x=\"85.0\" y=\"84\" text-anchor=\"middle\" font-size=\"12.5\" fill=\"#fff\">sender and<\/text><text x=\"85.0\" y=\"101\" text-anchor=\"middle\" font-size=\"12.5\" fill=\"#fff\">message<\/text><rect x=\"182\" y=\"30\" width=\"150\" height=\"96\" rx=\"14\" fill=\"#FFF3F1\" stroke=\"#FAD9D3\" stroke-width=\"1.5\"\/><text x=\"257.0\" y=\"60\" text-anchor=\"middle\" font-size=\"15\" font-weight=\"700\" fill=\"#2A1A18\">Targets<\/text><text x=\"257.0\" y=\"84\" text-anchor=\"middle\" font-size=\"12.5\" fill=\"#7A6663\">import or<\/text><text x=\"257.0\" y=\"101\" text-anchor=\"middle\" font-size=\"12.5\" fill=\"#7A6663\">Find websites<\/text><rect x=\"354\" y=\"30\" width=\"150\" height=\"96\" rx=\"14\" fill=\"#FFF3F1\" stroke=\"#FAD9D3\" stroke-width=\"1.5\"\/><text x=\"429.0\" y=\"60\" text-anchor=\"middle\" font-size=\"15\" font-weight=\"700\" fill=\"#2A1A18\">Send<\/text><text x=\"429.0\" y=\"84\" text-anchor=\"middle\" font-size=\"12.5\" fill=\"#7A6663\">queue, pace<\/text><text x=\"429.0\" y=\"101\" text-anchor=\"middle\" font-size=\"12.5\" fill=\"#7A6663\">and results<\/text><rect x=\"526\" y=\"30\" width=\"150\" height=\"96\" rx=\"14\" fill=\"#FFF3F1\" stroke=\"#FAD9D3\" stroke-width=\"1.5\"\/><text x=\"601.0\" y=\"60\" text-anchor=\"middle\" font-size=\"15\" font-weight=\"700\" fill=\"#2A1A18\">Analytics<\/text><text x=\"601.0\" y=\"84\" text-anchor=\"middle\" font-size=\"12.5\" fill=\"#7A6663\">every field<\/text><text x=\"601.0\" y=\"101\" text-anchor=\"middle\" font-size=\"12.5\" fill=\"#7A6663\">that was typed<\/text><rect x=\"698\" y=\"30\" width=\"150\" height=\"96\" rx=\"14\" fill=\"#FFF3F1\" stroke=\"#FAD9D3\" stroke-width=\"1.5\"\/><text x=\"773.0\" y=\"60\" text-anchor=\"middle\" font-size=\"15\" font-weight=\"700\" fill=\"#2A1A18\">AI Assist<\/text><text x=\"773.0\" y=\"84\" text-anchor=\"middle\" font-size=\"12.5\" fill=\"#7A6663\">Claude, ChatGPT<\/text><text x=\"773.0\" y=\"101\" text-anchor=\"middle\" font-size=\"12.5\" fill=\"#7A6663\">and more<\/text><text x=\"430\" y=\"170\" text-anchor=\"middle\" font-size=\"13\" fill=\"#C9453B\" font-weight=\"700\">One account, one credit pool, five working parts<\/text><\/svg><\/div><figcaption style=\"text-align:center;font-size:14px;color:#7A6663;margin-top:8px;\">Figure 1.

The deliverability check scores your message as Good, Fair or Needs work before it goes out.

It is free: it never uses your AI credits or lead credits. In our test it turned the sentence above into the category Plumber, the 20 largest cities in Ontario (the whole-province search is not on the current plan, and the app said so) and the filters 4.0+ stars and has a phone number.

Lead credits cost one per business delivered with a website: packs are 100 for $5, 500 for $20, 2,000 for $60 and 10,000 for $250, and paid plans include a monthly allowance (Starter 100, Growth 500, Pro 2,000, Scale 5,000).

Then you press Start sending, and you can Pause, Resume or Stop at any moment. Stopping returns websites that were in progress to Queued, so nothing is lost.<\/p><p style=\"margin:0 0 16px;\">Most behaviour is controlled on the dashboard&#8217;s Settings page, which is one long page with a section list on the left.

No plan includes AI credits; every account, free or paid, tops up separately from $5 to $500, and the balance does not expire.

Examples from the Help Center on that model are about $0.06 for 200 websites with one placeholder, about $0.30 for 1,000 websites, and about $3 for 10,000 websites. Larger models cost more (roughly five times for Claude Haiku 4.5 and 25 times for Claude Opus 5), and the AI Wallet&#8217;s Pricing tab lists every model. Before a large AI run, contactID shows an AI credits may run out estimate, and a run pauses when the balance is too low until you top up and press Resume.<\/p><figure style=\"margin:30px 0;\"><div style=\"border:1px solid #FAD9D3;border-radius:18px;background:#fff;padding:14px;overflow-x:auto;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/brandid.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/contactid-dash-buy-credits.jpg\" alt=\"Buy AI Credits page with Add Funds amounts, custom amount and Auto-Recharge\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display:block;width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:10px;border:1px solid #FAD9D3;\"><\/div><figcaption style=\"text-align:center;font-size:14px;color:#7A6663;margin-top:8px;\">Figure 20.

Conversations: what each app asked, grouped by chat. contactID never sees the chat itself.<\/figcaption><\/figure><p style=\"margin:0 0 16px;\">Because sending happens in your browser, an AI request that adds websites or starts a run is carried out by the contactID extension on your computer. Chrome must be open with the extension signed in to the same account, and the side panel does not need to be open. Each computer has a switch for this, and the Computers tab shows every Chrome profile that is online. You can <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/brandid.app\/contactid-knowledge-base\/how-to-let-ai-apps-use-your-computer\/\" style=\"color:#EE6055;font-weight:600;text-decoration:none;\">allow AI computer access<\/a> or stop it per computer. A run an AI app starts sends at most the number of websites you said yes to, then stops.<\/p><p style=\"margin:0 0 16px;\">To stop everything at once, the switch at the top of the page pauses every AI app, and any run they started pauses too. You can also narrow one app or remove it: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/brandid.app\/contactid-knowledge-base\/how-to-pause-or-disconnect-an-ai-app\/\" style=\"color:#EE6055;font-weight:600;text-decoration:none;\">pause or disconnect apps<\/a>. Connections last 90 days and end after 30 days unused. The app never sees your password, and receives a key that works only for contactID&#8217;s AI address and lasts 15 minutes at a time.

Prices were checked in the Help Center and the app on 17 October 2026, so confirm them on the Plan &#038; Billing page before you pay.<\/p><p style=\"margin:0 0 16px;\">What does it cost in practice? A small agency sending 500 websites a month would use Growth at $49.99 (833 included, about six cents a site). A freelancer sending 60 a month is better on pay-as-you-go until Starter&#8217;s 100 websites for $9.99 becomes cheaper, which the Help Center puts at around 67 sends a month. AI personalization on the default model adds roughly a few cents per hundred websites.<\/p><h2 style=\"color:#2A1A18;font-size:27px;line-height:1.25;font-weight:700;margin:46px 0 12px;letter-spacing:-.3px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Security_privacy_and_what_contactID_keeps\"><\/span>Security, privacy and what contactID keeps<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p style=\"margin:0 0 16px;\">The Help Center is open about what is stored. Your pitch messages and send history are private to your account and encrypted at rest, and no one reviews your messages before they are sent. Administrators can see account, billing and usage details and can sign in to your account to investigate a problem you report, and every such sign-in is recorded in an audit log. When AI personalization is used, contactID sends the AI prompt, the website&#8217;s name and address, and your name, company and job title to the provider of the model you chose, not your full message or the website&#8217;s pages, so keep sensitive pitches plain.<\/p><p style=\"margin:0 0 16px;\">Payments go through Stripe, so contactID never sees card numbers. For AI Assist, the app never sees your password, and contactID keeps what you allowed, when each app connected and what it asked (with passwords and keys removed) for 12 months, never your chat with the app.<\/p><h2 style=\"color:#2A1A18;font-size:27px;line-height:1.25;font-weight:700;margin:46px 0 12px;letter-spacing:-.3px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Refunds_and_billing_rules_worth_knowing\"><\/span>Refunds and billing rules worth knowing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p style=\"margin:0 0 16px;\">Credits already used are not refundable, a subscription period that has started is not automatically refundable, and annual billing has no cancellation refund.

If a payment fails, there is a grace period, and the extension shows a Payment Due meter.<\/p><h2 style=\"color:#2A1A18;font-size:27px;line-height:1.25;font-weight:700;margin:46px 0

The free tier is real, you pay only for confirmed sends, and the finder plus Search by AI removes the biggest barrier, which is having a list.<\/p><p style=\"margin:0 0 16px;\">AI Assist is the most distinctive part. Connecting Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another AI app is a few minutes of work, and the permissions, daily limits, approvals and 30-day undo make it safer than most agent integrations we have seen. The missing pieces are honest ones: no reply tracking yet, no screenshots of forms, no two-factor sign-in, and a Chromium-only extension that must stay open to send. If your outreach depends on tracked sequences, pair it with a mailbox tool. If you want to reach businesses that ignore cold email, start with the 10 free credits and a list of 10 to 20 websites.<\/p><div style=\"background:#FFF3F1;border:1px solid #FAD9D3;border-left:5px solid #EE6055;border-radius:16px;padding:20px 24px;margin:26px 0;\"><div style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-size:16px;color:#C9453B;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.8px;font-weight:700;\">Try it<\/div><div style=\"font-size:16px;\">Start with the 10 free website credits at contactID, add 10 to 20 websites and read the results before you scale.
