3-day free trial

Questions, answered

Can I see the data before buying?

Yes. The sample on this page shows real contacts, and the coverage check shows how many match your topic. Basic and Professional both start with a 3-day free trial.

What counts as an export?

Each new contact you download or unlock uses one. Contacts you already exported never count again.

How does the 3-day trial work?

Pay by card or PayPal and you're charged $0 today. For 3 days you can search everything, build lists and export up to 25 contacts. Cancel before the trial ends and you won't be charged; otherwise your plan starts on day 3 with its full export allowance. One trial per account.

Can I cancel?

Yes, anytime from your billing page. Your plan stays active until the end of the period you paid for.

Does unused allowance roll over?

No. Your export allowance resets each month on your billing date.

Who is in the database?

900,000+ media contacts: journalists, editors and producers at newspapers, TV and radio, plus podcast hosts, YouTubers, bloggers and newsletter writers. Use the coverage check to see your industry.

How are contact problems handled?

Send any contact that bounces to support@medialist.com. We replace that export at no cost.

Can I talk to someone?

Yes. Use the chat button at the bottom of the page, or email support@medialist.com.
