AutoLeads or Societeinfo: register data or web signals?

Societeinfo is a database of French companies, built from SIRENE and the commercial courts, searchable with filters and an API. AutoLeads starts from a trade and a city, reads what each business shows online, then writes to it.

By Nicolas Faglin, Co-founder and co-managing director

Both rely on official registers; AutoLeads adds signals of online activity.

When Societeinfo is the better choice

You segment by administrative criteria: NAF code, legal form, incorporation date, headcount, revenue.
You want to enrich or clean your CRM in bulk, or feed company data into your forms through an API.
You want named contact emails by function in companies of any size.
You already have a sending tool and only need data.
Your starting budget is low: the free plan lets you test.

When AutoLeads is the better choice

You sell to local SMBs and want to know which ones need you: slow or dated website, no ads, weak reviews, ongoing hiring.
You want to start from a trade and a city, including businesses found through Google or their ads.
You want each message written from those signals.
You want to send from the same tool (email, LinkedIn, Instagram, WhatsApp) and track replies.

Do Societeinfo and AutoLeads do the same job?

No. Societeinfo is a database: you filter French companies and their contacts, export them or query the API, then prospect with your own tools. AutoLeads covers the whole campaign: finding the businesses of a trade in a city, enriching them, writing a sequence for each and sending it. Both use the official registers; AutoLeads adds what the business shows online.

What data does each tool bring?

Societeinfo is strong on administrative data and contacts: NAF code, headcount, revenue, directors, named or generic emails, website presence and web technologies. It says it does not provide direct phone numbers. AutoLeads brings activity signals: a website audit (PageSpeed scores plus 6 sales criteria: conversion, content, design, contact, CMS, local schema), Meta, Google or Pages Jaunes ads, Google rating and review count, job openings. For a web or SEO agency, those signals say why to write to one business rather than the one next door.

How much does each tool cost?

Societeinfo has a free plan (25 credits a month, 1 user) and paid plans whose pricing page, on October 30, 2026, shows several different grids: from €39 a month billed yearly, or from €59 excl. VAT monthly depending on the grid. One credit is one displayed contact or one exported line. AutoLeads shows €249, €499 and €899 excl. VAT a month for 2,500, 5,500 and 10,800 credits; a lead found through Google search costs 10 credits, the website audit 4 more. For raw data at volume, Societeinfo costs less.

Can you use both?

Yes. A list exported from Societeinfo can be imported into AutoLeads: importing is free and only the enrichments you turn on (website audit, ads, reviews, writing) use credits.
