2025.09.14 – Snov.io, GetProspect, CRM, B2B, .io Domains, and Linguistic Context of “Snov”

Posted byLeonardo Tomás CardilloPosted inUncategorized

Key Findings

Snov.io and GetProspect are B2B platforms specializing in lead generation, contact enrichment, and outreach. Snov.io combines CRM, email automation, verification, and warm-up tools, while GetProspect emphasizes accurate LinkedIn-based data, enriched attributes, and charging only for valid emails. An inactivity notice from Snov.io warned of account data deletion after 90 days without login. CRM and B2B were explained in contrast with B2C. The .io domain was analyzed as a modern, technology-related top-level domain. The term “snov” is confirmed linguistically as Russian for “of dreams,” while in Ukrainian the equivalent form is “sniv.” Snov.io identifies itself as a Ukrainian company, is incorporated in the United States, and promotes the motto “Flowing water is harder to freeze.” The company has not explained the origin of its name.

Confirmed Facts

  1. An email from Snov.io stated that after 90 days of inactivity, all account data would be deleted irreversibly. It explained that in 14 days, unless the recipient renewed a free subscription or purchased a premium plan, information including contacts, prospects, and company lists would be erased. The message listed help@snov.io as the support contact.
  2. Snov.io provides services for B2B prospecting such as email finding, verification, CRM integration, automated drip campaigns, deliverability monitoring, and email warm-up. It integrates with HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, and Zapier, and offers an API for custom use. The platform covers both lead discovery and outreach.
  3. GetProspect is a B2B tool with a database of over 200 million contacts and approximately 26 million companies. It offers more than 40 enrichment attributes and over 17 search filters, including job roles, departments, seniority, company location, revenue, and technologies. Its Chrome extension extracts data from LinkedIn and Sales Navigator. It charges for valid emails only in certain plans.
  4. Snov.io emphasizes full workflow automation and outreach, while GetProspect stresses accuracy and LinkedIn-based lead sourcing. GetProspect’s free plan includes 50 email credits and 100 verifications. Snov.io also provides a free tier with limited credits but may consume credits regardless of email validity. Both tools include outreach functionality, but Snov.io integrates more automation features.
  5. CRM (Customer Relationship Management) refers to organizing and managing client and prospect data within a centralized system. Features include classifying leads by stage, automating messages, and tracking engagement. The Snov.io CRM updates contact status automatically. CRMs reduce fragmented data by consolidating information into a single platform.
  6. B2B (Business to Business) describes commerce between companies, often involving larger contracts and longer cycles. B2C (Business to Consumer) involves sales to individuals, with smaller transactions, higher customer volume, and faster decisions. Snov.io and GetProspect both operate in the B2B market.
  7. The .io domain originally belonged to the British Indian Ocean Territory but is widely adopted by startups and technology companies. Its link to the computing term input/output contributes to its appeal. Google treats .io as a generic top-level domain. Compared to .com, it is more available but usually more expensive and less globally recognized.
  8. In Russian, “снов” (snov) is the genitive plural of “сон” (son, meaning “dream”), translating as “of dreams.” In Ukrainian, the equivalent form is “снів” (sniv). The English resemblance to “snow” does not reflect its linguistic origin. The company has not provided an official explanation of the name.
  9. Snov.io describes itself as a Ukrainian company and emphasizes this in public materials. Its “About Us” section contains the motto “Flowing water is harder to freeze,” attributed to CEO Oleksii. At the same time, Snovio Inc. is incorporated in the United States with a New York address, confirming its dual presence.
