A deep breakdown of data freshness, pricing transparency, contract flexibility, and direct dial accuracy:
ZoomInfo users frequently report reaching front desk switchboards or obsolete phone extensions. At Avention Media, our direct-dial phone repository is tested through active telecom switch pings and human tele-verification, ensuring your SDRs bypass receptionists and talk directly to budget decision-makers.
ZoomInfo typically requires $15,000–$50,000+ upfront commitments, mandatory annual renewals, and steep fees for every user seat. Avention Media offers flexible on-demand campaign lists, quarterly data updates, and enterprise licensing with zero per-user seat fees.
Rather than forcing your team to log into another standalone platform, Avention Media works as a full-service data partner. We clean your existing Salesforce or HubSpot database, purge spam traps, deduplicate accounts, and append missing executive emails and direct dials.
High bounce rates destroy your email domain sender score. While subscription platforms make you burn export credits on invalid emails, Avention Media guarantees a 98% inbox deliverability rate, backing it with immediate 100% record replacement for any hard bounces.

Facing a $38,000 annual ZoomInfo renewal with declining phone connect rates, a leading North American SecOps vendor partnered with Avention Media for custom tech-installed base lists (Palo Alto, CrowdStrike, and AWS users). With 100% human-verified direct dials and 98% email deliverability, the SDR team booked 48 enterprise discovery calls in 60 days while saving $24,500 in annual platform overhead.
B2B sales and revenue operations teams switch to Avention Media for four primary reasons: (1) Pricing Transparency & Zero Annual Lock-Ins: ZoomInfo requires multi-year contracts and expensive per-seat licenses ($15,000 to $50,000+ base), whereas Avention Media offers flexible pay-per-need datasets, quarterly refreshes, and enterprise licensing with zero seat penalties. (2) Human-Tele-Verified Accuracy: ZoomInfo relies predominantly on automated machine-scraping and inbox telemetry, resulting in decaying records over time. Avention Media pairs automated scrapers with real-time SMTP handshakes and human tele-verification. (3) 100% Perpetual Data Ownership: When a ZoomInfo contract ends, data access and rights are revoked. Data purchased from Avention Media is yours to keep forever in your CRM. (4) Dedicated CRM Cleansing & Appending: We clean, deduplicate, and enrich your existing customer records rather than just selling standalone platform seats.
ZoomInfo assigns credit-based limits for phone number exports and relies heavily on corporate switchboards or user-contributed community data. Avention Media telecom-verifies direct-dial desk extensions and corporate mobile lines via live carrier handshakes and quarterly tele-verification by human data analysts, resulting in a 3x higher live connect rate for outbound SDR teams.
We provide an unconditional 98% email deliverability guarantee on every dataset delivered. Unlike subscription platforms where users absorb bounce rate penalties, Avention Media immediately replaces any hard bounces exceeding 2% with fresh, verified records at zero additional cost.
