Paid review

I actually used BirdSift for a bit instead of just clicking around. Signed in with a magic link, no password stuff, that was easy. Then I typed "Find dentists in Istanbul with no website and 4+ stars" into the search box and it actually found real places, real phone numbers, real addresses, pulled straight from Google Maps. Took maybe 15 seconds. I also tried their free tool, the outdated site checker, before even logging in. Threw wikipedia.org at it and it correctly said no responsive design. Threw stripe.com at it and it said modern, nothing to see here. Tried a fake domain that doesn't exist and it just told me straight up, this domain doesn't resolve, instead of crashing or giving some weird error. Back in the app I saved a couple leads, exported them to CSV, that worked right away and downloaded the file. I also had it write an outreach email for one lead, cost 1 credit, and it asked me to confirm before spending it, which I liked. The email itself wasn't generic garbage either, it actually mentioned the specific location and the fact they had no website. Only thing that tripped me up: there's a chat box where you can type stuff like "also include plumbers" to widen your search, and when I did that it just went ahead and spent 10 credits without asking me first, it just kind of mentioned it in the text while it was already running. Every other place in the app asks you before spending credits so this felt inconsistent and honestly a little sneaky, even though it did tell me the estimate beforehand. I'd want a proper confirm button there too. Other than that, pretty solid. Real data, not fake looking demo stuff, works in English and French, and even has a whole page comparing themselves honestly to a cheaper competitor instead of hiding it. Would use again if I actually needed local leads.
