Is DataForGTM a full ZoomInfo replacement?

No. It is a ZoomInfo alternative for developer data specifically — GitHub username to LinkedIn resolution and GitHub-based buying signals. It does not provide org charts, phone numbers, or broad firmographic contact data, which remain ZoomInfo's strength.

Why use DataForGTM instead of ZoomInfo for developer data?

ZoomInfo keys on company domain, name, or LinkedIn URL and has no GitHub signal. DataForGTM starts from a developer's GitHub identity and activity, resolves it to a real person, and exposes it as an agent-callable API — charging only when a resolve succeeds.

A ZoomInfo alternative for developer data

ZoomInfo is built for firmographics, org charts, and contact records keyed on a company domain or a person's name. It has no view of what developers are doing. DataForGTM is the opposite: it starts from a GitHub identity and developer activity, and returns the person and the buying signal — as tools your AI agent can call.

Where the two part ways

ZoomInfo answers "who works at this company, and how do I reach them?" DataForGTM answers "this GitHub user is evaluating my tool — who are they, and where else is this happening?" If your GTM motion is developer-led, the entry point is a GitHub username, a starred repo, or an org's open-source activity — none of which ZoomInfo indexes. DataForGTM is honest about its scope: it does not sell org charts, phone numbers, technographics, or general B2B contact lists. For that, ZoomInfo is the right tool.

How it compares

Capability	DataForGTM	ZoomInfo
GitHub username → LinkedIn (person-level)	Yes, as an API	No — keys on domain / name / LinkedIn URL
Developer & company GitHub buying signals	Yes	No
Enterprise firmographics & org charts	No	Yes (its core)
Phone numbers & verified work emails	No	Yes
Technographics & intent across the web	GitHub-only, narrow	Broad
Agent-discoverable MCP / OpenAPI	Yes	Limited
Self-serve, no demo, no seat	Yes	No
Pricing	Prepaid, ~$0.30 per resolved hit, misses free	Annual seat-based contract

Resolve a GitHub identity from an agent

Point any MCP-aware client or OpenAPI connector at the endpoint and authenticate with a bearer API key:

# Resolve a GitHub username → LinkedIn
curl -X POST https://api.dataforgtm.ai/api/v1/deanon \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DATAFORGTM_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"githubUser":"torvalds"}'

# A successful resolve costs 2 credits (~$0.30). Misses are free.

When ZoomInfo is the better fit

If you sell into mid-market or enterprise on firmographics — company size, industry, revenue, hierarchy — and you need verified direct dials, work emails, and decision-maker contact data at scale, ZoomInfo is the stronger choice. It also covers buyer intent far beyond GitHub. DataForGTM is purpose-built for one thing: turning developer activity on GitHub into named people and intent. Many teams run both: ZoomInfo for account coverage, DataForGTM for the developer signal ZoomInfo can't see.
