We've been using AI Ark for a while now and the main thing for me is that I can trust the data first time.
The emails are good off the bat. So is the coverage, and that's the bit most tools get wrong. Normally you're picking one or the other. Either the emails verify but the coverage is thin, or you get plenty of contacts and half of them left the company two years ago. AI Ark is the first one where I haven't had to make that trade. Job titles are current, companies are current, and I'm not second guessing a list before it goes out.
The filters are the other big one. Being able to target a company that doesn't have a CFO, or a founder with no HR department, for example. That used to take a lot more messing about, with spreadsheets or complex Clay tables with lookup columns etc. , Now we can build a properly targeted list in a couple of minutes
It's also replaced a stack of subscriptions with one, at a price that actually makes sense. The API is great and the MCP is really handy too.
Elias is also super helpful and responsive in a private Slack channel.
Long and short of it, it's just simplified our whole people finding process. Really good product.
Hey, I'm Elias, Co-Founder and CSO of AI Ark.
For years our CEO Brian and I ran our own outbound agency, sending over a million emails a month for clients. Our most expensive, most frustrating problem was always data. We relied on Apollo and ZoomInfo, the records were stale, the emails bounced, and we were paying for a separate verification tool on top just to make lists usable. Every bounce hurt our clients' deliverability.
We kept wishing for a B2B database that stayed fresh and only handed us emails that actually land. So in 2022 we started building it ourselves. We thought it would take a few months. It took about two and a half years.
AI Ark now covers 400M+ contacts and 70M+ companies, refreshed every 30 days, with every email verified in real time at export, including the catch-all addresses most tools throw away. We run our own agency on it every day and our bounce rates stay under 1.5%.
Would love your honest feedback, and happy to answer anything about how the data or the API works.
Totally love this tool..has saved our team multiple tool subscriptions with such cost effective plans that I am a fan of now!!
Their customer support and team is always there to help incase of issues and all their new feature releases are in par with whats happening around AI and GTM!
@ashwini10 This made my day, thank you
Really glad it's working for the team.
Been using AI Ark for prospecting and the thing that stands out is match rate on emails and mobiles compared to the usual suspects. Search, enrich, export in one flow instead of stitching three tools together. Support has been fast and actually helpful too, which is rare. Congrats on the launch.
@giana_lisondra Thank you Gianna, this made our day!
Match rate on emails and mobiles is exactly where we've put the most engineering effort, so hearing it stands out against the usual suspects means a lot. And I'm passing the support shout-out to the team right now, they'll be grinning all week.

Have been using AI-Ark for the past 6 months and I freaking love it — The API is world-class, and the reach + validation of the emails is unmatched. Definitely recommend!

Great team! Pleasure to work with them. We're always exploring more ways to work with their data as part of our data stack.
Extrovert
We’re happy AI Ark customers at Extrovert. We use their data to enrich people and companies and power parts of our lead finder workflow under the hood
They are the only one on the market who renew the data every month! Super important!
For us, data quality isn’t a nice-to-have. Bad data immediately turns into a bad experience for our users.
Shoutout to Elias and the team
great product and great people behind it!
@oleg_sobolev happy to see you here and thank you for the support! Wishing all the best with Extrovert as well
