I need help because I've been going back and forth for 3 weeks and I'm losing my mind.

solo founder, B2B SaaS, I need to start doing cold outbound to book demos and validate but every time I research tools I fall into this comparison rabbit hole and just go in circles.

what I need:

• verified emails for my ICP (VP of ops at companies with 50-200 employees)
• send personalized email sequences with follow-ups
• ideally some way to prioritize who to email based on signals instead of blasting a cold list
• not spend $500+ month before I've made a dollar

what I've looked at so far:

• apollo: seems solid but people keep mentioning data accuracy issues
• instantly: great deliverability apparently but still need separate data?
• clay: powerful but I'm not technical enough for it
• fuseai: looks like it does data and sequencing together but I haven't seen many people talk about it yet
• lemlist: clean but per-user pricing adds up
• hunter.io: good for finding emails but doesn't do sequencing
• lusha: decent data but feels like I'd still need another tool on top

I just want one thing that handles data and sending so I can spend my time on messaging and conversations instead of being a parttime sales ops person

what are you actually using right now and are you happy with it, I want real answers not what you read on G2
