The short version

Only Surfe has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
Each has a real cost: Potion synthetic personalisation works partly because it surprises the recipient, and that surprise decays as the technique spreads, so response rate uplift should be measured monthly as a decaying asset rather than assumed from the first quarter.; Surfe three native CRMs only: Salesforce, HubSpot and Pipedrive. Anything else needs the API or Google Sheets.
They diverge on capability: Potion covers Dynamic AI videos, Surfe covers Waterfall enrichment.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Potion

Synthetic personalisation works partly because it surprises the recipient, and that surprise decays as the technique spreads, so response rate uplift should be measured monthly as a decaying asset rather than assumed from the first quarter.
Starter caps dynamic videos at 750 a month and full AI templates at three a month, which a single active representative can exhaust, pushing small teams onto the 299 US dollar tier faster than the pricing table implies.
Cloned voice and lip synced video sit close to a line some prospects find deceptive, and a recipient who realises the video was generated rather than recorded may react worse than to plain text.
There is no free plan, only a seven day trial, which is a short window in which to prove response rate uplift on a cold outbound sequence where reply cycles alone can take longer than a week.
Workspace pricing is excellent for teams but poor for a single representative, who pays 99 US dollars a month for capacity sized for a team, so solo users are the worst fit for the model.

Surfe

Three native CRMs only: Salesforce, HubSpot and Pipedrive. Anything else needs the API or Google Sheets.
API access is an Enterprise feature, so the lower tiers cannot automate beyond the supported connectors even though an API exists.
The free tier caps CRM sync at one contact a day, which makes it a demonstration rather than a workable free plan.
Mobile number credits are far scarcer than email credits on every tier, 100 a month against 1,000 on Pro, and phone data is usually the reason teams buy a tool like this.
Match rates are not published. Enrichment across fifteen providers is a description of method, not a measured outcome, and the figure that decides whether the cost is justified is not on the pricing page.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Potion: Is Potion priced per seat?

No. It is priced per workspace: 99 US dollars a month for Starter and 299 for Professional, regardless of how many people use it. That is unusual in this category and decisively cheaper for larger teams.

Surfe: What does Surfe cost?

Free gives 20 email and 5 mobile credits a month. Essential is $49 a user monthly or $39 billed annually, Pro is $89 or $79 annually, and Enterprise is custom priced with SSO, SCIM and API access.

Source

Potion: Is there a free plan?

No. Both paid tiers include a seven day free trial, but there is no permanently free tier.

Surfe: Which CRMs does Surfe integrate with?

Salesforce, HubSpot and Pipedrive natively. Surfe is the official Pipedrive data enrichment provider and powers HubSpot's native prospecting agent. Salesloft, Outreach and Lemlist connectors are available from the Pro tier.

Source

Potion: Does it clone my voice and face?

Yes. The personalised opening segment is synthesised in your cloned voice with lip synced video, while the body of the video is your original recording.

Surfe: What is waterfall enrichment?

Looking a contact up across more than fifteen data providers in sequence rather than relying on a single source, so a miss at one provider is retried at the next. It is what drives match rates on contacts a single database would not find.

Source

Potion: How many videos does Starter include?

750 dynamic AI videos and three full AI video templates a month. An active outbound representative can reach that ceiling.

Surfe: Can Surfe be used with AI agents?

Yes. Surfe publishes an API and an MCP server, which makes the data reachable from Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok and Perplexity. API access sits on the Enterprise tier.

Source

Surfe: Is the Surfe free plan usable?

For evaluation rather than for work. It includes 20 email and 5 mobile find credits a month and limits CRM sync to one contact a day, which is enough to judge data quality and not enough to prospect with.
