Question 1

What is Origami?

Accepted Answer

An AI-powered prospecting platform. Describe your ideal customer in plain English and Origami searches across our data sources to deliver verified, enriched leads. Works for B2B, local businesses, and niche markets that Apollo and ZoomInfo don't cover.

Question 2

Why can't I find local businesses in Apollo or ZoomInfo?

Accepted Answer

Apollo and ZoomInfo are built primarily around social profile data and enterprise firmographics, so they miss millions of small businesses, contractors, and local service companies that are missing from traditional databases. Origami is purpose-built to cover these gaps - pulling from Google Maps, state licensing boards, local directories, and real-time web data to find businesses that traditional B2B databases simply don't index.

Question 3

How is Origami different from Apollo, ZoomInfo, or Clay?

Accepted Answer

• Cheaper: Paid plans from $29/month.
• Simpler: Start with one prompt, no filters, booleans, or new tool to learn.
• Same depth: We integrate the same kinds of data sources as Clay, without giving up simplicity.

Question 4

What data sources does Origami use?

Accepted Answer

Origami aggregates 15+ sources including Google Maps local business data, 69M+ social company profiles, job postings, tech stack data, Shopify and WooCommerce stores, state licensing databases, funding databases, and real-time email and phone verification. This combination gives Origami strong coverage of both tech companies and non-tech businesses like contractors, restaurants, dental practices, and auto dealerships.

Question 5

How accurate is the contact data?

Accepted Answer

Emails are 95%+ accurate. Origami waterfall-enriches across multiple providers and verifies in real time. Phone numbers are validated the same way.

Question 6

What kinds of businesses can I prospect?

Accepted Answer

Origami works across any vertical. Common use cases include finding home service contractors (HVAC, plumbing, roofing, pest control, landscaping), restaurant owners, dental practice owners, auto dealership owners, ecommerce brand operators, gym and fitness studio owners, and more. You can search by industry, location, company size, hiring activity, funding, or any combination - just describe what you're looking for.

Question 7

Can I import my own data to find lookalike prospects?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Import a CSV of your existing customers and Origami analyzes patterns like industry, size, location, and business model to build an ideal customer profile. It then finds thousands of lookalike companies, scores each on fit, and returns an enriched list with verified contacts.

Question 8

Does Origami include social and email sequencing?

Accepted Answer

Yes - and it's free on every paid plan. The built-in Sequencer runs multi-step social and email cadences (up to 10 steps per channel) from your own connected accounts. Unlimited sends, multi-account rotation, time-zone aware delivery, and a shared inbox for replies. No add-on subscription, no per-seat fee, no exporting to a separate tool like Instantly or Smartlead.

Question 9

How does the credit system work?

Accepted Answer

Origami charges per step, not a flat rate per row - fetches, LLM checks, web research, and enrichments each use different credits. Plans start at $29/mo for 2,000 credits, and effective cost per credit improves on larger plans. See the how credits work page for the full breakdown.

Question 10

Can Origami find local business owners like HVAC, plumbing, or roofing companies?

Accepted Answer

Yes - this is one of Origami's strongest use cases. Traditional prospecting tools have poor coverage of home service companies, contractors, and local businesses. Origami combines Google Maps data, licensing databases, job postings, and web scraping to find HVAC companies, plumbing contractors, roofing companies, pest control operators, landscaping businesses, and more - along with verified owner contact info.
