In short
Lead lists give you names, intent data gives you warm segments, and in-house research gives you control. Scout gives you reviewed, source-backed openings tied to specific buying signals. The right choice depends on whether you optimize for volume, scale, or reply rate.
Scout vs. lead lists
A lead list is a static set of contacts; Scout is a feed of reviewed openings tied to recent buying signals. Lists answer "who," Scout answers "who, why now, and what to say."
