Swordfish review
A broad contact database with strong phone lookup tools and quote-based pricing.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Swordfish is a B2B contact data platform for sales, recruiting, marketing, and operations teams. It combines prospect search, reverse lookup, contact enrichment, email verification, and phone data in one workflow. Its database lists 3.5 billion contacts, with verified cell phone and direct-dial data as a central focus. Teams can use the web platform, Chrome extension, or API to discover and update professional contact records, while Bombora buyer-intent data adds company-level signals for relevant topics.
The product’s feature set is broad for teams that need to move between contact discovery and enrichment. Search filters support targeted prospecting, while reverse search works from partial contact information. Bulk CSV or file enrichment can help update existing records, and the Chrome extension supports contact discovery while browsing. API access extends the platform into applications and systems, with CRM and ATS integrations supporting sales and recruiting workflows. This combination makes Swordfish particularly suitable when direct-dial research and reverse lookup matter more than a wide ecosystem of specialized integrations.
Pricing is quote-based, so the buying process is oriented toward contacting sales rather than selecting a published self-serve plan. That may fit organizations evaluating a broader data workflow, but it gives buyers less immediate pricing context. Swordfish should suit teams seeking verified phone data, reverse search, bulk enrichment, and intent signals across web, browser, and API workflows. Organizations that require extensive integrations or deeper technographic coverage may want to compare alternatives before choosing it.
