The short version

  • Only GrowSurf has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: GrowSurf startup tier limited to 1 referral program; ZoomInfo zoomInfo prices on a credit-consumption model rather than flat seats: each contact/company export costs one credit, packages include a fixed number of monthly credits (one named package includes 75K credits), and integrations require a minimum bulk credit purchase to install, per the vendor's own pricing page.
  • They diverge on capability: GrowSurf covers Referral tracking, ZoomInfo covers Contact database.
