CRM and sales decision
Getlead
A competent technical user can assemble a working lead-scrape/verify/send stack (and open-source projects like Mautic/OpenOutreach help), but you will lose Getlead's 420M+ proprietary database, bundled verification/sending volume and deliverability/warmup infrastructure that are core commercial advantages.

No open-source build does this yet
Nothing published replaces this one, so a replacement starts from an empty file. Here is what it would have to cover.
What a replacement has to do
- Search or scrape prospects, verify their emails, schedule/send sequences through an ESP/SMTP, and track leads in a simple CRM.
What it still won’t have
- Access to the vendor’s 420M+ pre-verified B2B contact database
- Provider-grade deliverability stack, sender warm-up and reputation management
- Unlimited monthly send allowances and bundled verification volume
- Polished UX, integrated multi-source scrapers and ready-made templates/analytics
- Priority support and the single-flat-bill convenience
What remains hard
- Proprietary data

Runnable build prompt
Build a self-hosted outbound lead gen and cold-email app using Node.js (Express) backend, React frontend, Postgres for storage, Redis for job-queue, and Docker for deployment. Core features in scope: (1) a configurable scraper module (Puppeteer/Cheerio) that saves structured leads, (2) an email verification adapter that calls a third-party verification API and stores verification results, (3) an email campaign engine that schedules sequences and sends via AWS SES or SMTP providers with sender rotation, (4) a minimal CRM UI to view contacts, move pipeline stages, and record replies, and (5) campaign analytics (opens/replies) and a unified replies inbox. Out of scope: building a proprietary 420M+ database and advanced deliverability/warmup infrastructure. Include error handling, API retries, unit and integration tests, Docker compose for local dev, and deployment docs.
