Verified 2026-10-10
If you're weighing SiteSeeker against BirdSift, the real question is whether you want a lead finder or a whole agency platform. SiteSeeker finds businesses without websites, then builds, hosts and sells them a site, all on a monthly subscription. BirdSift does the finding and the pitching, with credit packs and no subscription. Its credits never expire.
SiteSeeker does a lot that BirdSift doesn't, mainly the website builder and hosting. This page covers both sides.

Where SiteSeeker wins
- Build and host the site. Generate a complete site from a business's listing, host it on a custom domain with SSL, and sell it to the client, all in one place. BirdSift stops at the pitch.
- A full agency workflow. Leads, AI prompts, call scripts and hosted sites share one credit pool.
- Higher tiers for scale. Max and Agency add more hosted sites, a dedicated success manager, and (on Agency) SSO and an uptime SLA.
Where BirdSift wins
- No subscription. Buy a pack when you have a campaign. Nothing renews, and unused credits stay yours.
- You pay per verified lead. One credit is one lead, and the cost of an email lookup or outreach draft is shown before you spend it.
- Verification, not just a filter.

Which one should you pick?
Pick SiteSeeker if you plan to build and host the websites yourself and want that in the same tool as the leads.
Pick BirdSift if you only need verified leads and a pitch, prospect in bursts, or sell in French-speaking markets. You can try it first: 10 free credits, no card.
