Business Studio Prospecting vs Econodata
Econodata is one of the largest B2B databases in Brazil, strong at company lists by CNPJ/CNAE. Business Studio Prospecting generates leads from Google Maps and registry data and pushes them straight to the AbstractOS CRM — the lead becomes a contact and deal in the pipeline, with no spreadsheet export, with a free plan.

In-depth analysis
Business Studio Prospecting is better suited for Brazilian SMEs seeking an integrated and automated lead generation solution, especially those already using or planning to adopt AbstractOS as their digital operating system. Its main differential is the native integration with AbstractOS's CRM, converting leads into contacts and deals in the sales funnel without needing spreadsheet exports, and the ability to search for leads via Google Maps by niche and region. Conversely, Econodata better serves companies that prioritize building large B2B contact lists through robust CNPJ/CNAE filters and have more independent sales processes or already consolidated external CRMs. The trade-off lies between a standalone prospecting solution focused on raw data (Econodata) and an integrated tool that streamlines workflow and includes AI qualification and geolocated search (Business Studio Prospecting).
When to choose Prospecção do Business Studio
When you want to generate leads from Maps and registry data and turn them into deals in the same place, with CRM, email and proposals in one account, with a free plan.
When to choose Econodata
When you need a very broad B2B database with high company volume and advanced market-intelligence filters.
Pricing
Business Studio Prospecting's pricing model is more accessible and transparent, offering a free plan to start and paid plans from R$ 69.90/month, with published prices. This allows small and medium-sized enterprises to try the tool and scale according to their needs, without a high initial commitment. In contrast, Econodata uses a "price upon request" and paid model, indicating a more personalized approach that often implies higher values and customized solutions, usually targeting companies with larger budgets or specific volume demands. To obtain current Econodata prices, direct contact with the sales team is required. The choice of model depends on the company's stage and available budget for prospecting tools.
Migrating from Econodata
Migrating from Econodata to Business Studio Prospecting involves clear steps to ensure operational continuity. First, all existing lead and company lists must be exported from Econodata, preferably in CSV or XLSX format, to preserve the collected data. Next, these files can be imported into AbstractOS's CRM, which is part of the Business Studio ecosystem, mapping the fields to ensure all information is correctly transferred, such as CNPJ, contact data, and segmentation. Once historical data is in the CRM, the main routine change will be generating new leads directly through Business Studio Prospecting, using its Google Maps and CNPJ/CNAE search functionalities. These leads will automatically populate the CRM funnel, eliminating the manual step of continuous spreadsheet exports and imports.
The Brazil advantage
Business Studio Prospecting's Brazilian differential lies in its native integration with AbstractOS, a digital operating system designed for SMEs in Brazil. The ability to prospect based on CNPJ and CNAE is fundamental for the Brazilian B2B market, and Google Maps integration is crucial for local businesses relying on prospecting by specific region and niche. Furthermore, direct lead import into AbstractOS's CRM optimizes a workflow that, in a Brazilian context, often involves managing multiple communication channels, such as WhatsApp, which can be integrated into the CRM. AI qualification can assist in filtering more relevant leads, considering the specificities of the national market and aiding in LGPD compliance, focusing on genuine relevance and interest.
Verdict
Business Studio Prospecting is the ideal choice for Brazilian SMEs looking to optimize their sales process with an integrated prospecting and CRM solution, valuing automation and geolocated search. However, Econodata excels for companies whose primary need is to obtain large volumes of B2B data by CNPJ/CNAE, without requiring deep integration or geolocated search.
