Why switch from Vainu
A Vainu alternative for decision-maker lists — without an annual contract
Named decision-makers with checked work emails across Finland, Sweden and Estonia — from €49 a month you can cancel anytime, or a single list with no subscription at all. Vainu's Reach starts at €250 a month billed annually. NordicContacts limits delivered data to work email addresses and keeps contact details continuously updated.

From €49/month, no commitment
A monthly plan you can cancel anytime — or one list without a subscription. No onboarding fee.
NordicContacts or Vainu for prospecting?
Vainu is strong on company-level signals and registry data. When you need a list of named decision-makers for your next campaign, the difference shows in price, commitment and contact usability.

Are you paying for a platform or a usable list?
A sales list's value does not come from the number of filters or company records. What matters is getting a named contact whose responsibility relates to what you sell — and a work email address that reaches them.
NordicContacts limits customer-facing data to current business contacts: every contact was checked no more than three months ago, consumer email domains are filtered out and responsibility areas normalize varying titles.
Test the difference with one real target group
1
Filter the companies
Choose Finland, Sweden or Estonia and filter by industry, headcount and keywords describing business activity.
2
Choose the right decision-makers
Select a responsibility area and organizational level. The preview shows the companies and titles before export.
3
Export the reviewed list
Review the export summary and download the Excel file. Consumer addresses and shared company mailboxes are already excluded, so the list does not start with that cleanup work.
Example: the same target group in two tools
For example, choose Finnish manufacturing companies with 10–50 employees and finance decision-makers. Apply equivalent filters in both tools and review a sample for company fit and role relevance. Check contact details only in data you are entitled to use. This example does not promise a particular result count.

Frequently asked questions
Does NordicContacts replace Vainu for prospecting?
For building prospect lists, yes — you get named contacts with checked work emails, Excel and API access, and a €49 monthly plan you can cancel anytime instead of €250 billed annually. If your sales work relies on Vainu's real-time signals or automations built on it, assess those separately.
How much does Vainu cost compared to NordicContacts?
Vainu's public pricing starts at €250 a month billed annually excluding VAT — around €3,000 committed per year — with one country database and one to two seats per licence. NordicContacts starts at €49 a month you can cancel anytime, or buy a single list at €0.20/contact with no subscription. Check Vainu's current price list for the package you need.
How is NordicContacts contact data checked?
The quality rule: every contact offered to customers in search, Excel, REST API or MCP must have been observed in a source within the past three months. An old registry record alone does not make a contact active. We publish the check results openly on the data quality page.
Can I test a target group before buying?
Yes. Start a free trial with no credit card, build a target group and review the preview. Personal details are partially masked.
How do I get the contacts into my CRM?
With Pro, you can export a completed contact list directly to HubSpot or Pipedrive after connecting your CRM account. You can also download the list as Excel and use your CRM's own import function. Starter or a one-time Excel purchase alone does not include direct CRM integration. MCP retrieves data but does not update your CRM or create Excel files.
Does NordicContacts cover the same countries as Vainu?
NordicContacts covers Finland, Sweden and Estonia in one search and one subscription. Vainu prices one country database per licence and additional countries in the quote — confirm the markets you need before comparing totals.
Does a recent address guarantee email delivery?
No. The check indicates data freshness, but no service can guarantee future delivery because contacts, companies and email systems change. Bounces and objections must be handled appropriately.
