PlainIntent is a web-based B2B intent data platform that finds search signals matching selected keywords and locations, then classifies them by intent stage. It can turn anonymous company-level signals into decision-maker contacts with emails and LinkedIn profiles; PlainIntent says it uses People Data Labs for this identity resolution. The platform generates personalized email and LinkedIn messages based on buyer intent. Users can organize outreach into campaigns, follow performance, and manage status across a pipeline. Captured search signals are stored with vector embeddings. Each API action uses one credit, deducted per request, and usage is monitored in real time from the dashboard. The Free plan includes 50 credits and does not require a credit card. Launch costs $199 per month and includes 500 credits per month; Pro costs $499 per month and includes 2,000 credits per month.
