Beautiful design, fast connection to LinkedIn, but disappointing search accuracy
I do not usually write reviews, but this product genuinely surprised me, and not in the way I hoped.
On the positive side, the front end and overall design are excellent. The platform looks polished, the user experience feels smooth, and the connection speed is one of the fastest I have seen. At first glance, it gives the impression of a very promising tool.
Unfortunately, my actual experience with the core functionality has been disappointing.
I purchased the smallest package, which included 500 leads. In my first search, I requested 100 leads specifically targeting Dubai, but not a single result was actually from Dubai, and many were from completely different industries. I ran another search with the same city targeting, and in my second search I requested (51) leads, only two leads were from Dubai while the rest were from elsewhere.
This raises a serious concern for me: the AI does not seem to understand or handle search queries accurately. That is a major issue, because the whole value of a tool like this depends on trust in the search results.
For example, if I search for something as straightforward as marketing directors in Dubai who recently changed jobs and work in the business sector, and the platform returns irrelevant results, then it becomes very difficult to rely on it for outreach or campaign execution.
At this stage, my experience has not been pleasant. The product feels like a great promise wrapped in a beautiful package, but the actual functionality is still lacking.
I will give it a couple more days and test it further, but if this issue continues, I will have to reconsider using it. Honestly, I am surprised to see so many 5-Tacos reviews based on my experience so far.

From what you described, the issue is mainly coming from how the search was structured. Your query includes signals like “recently changed jobs,” which ScaliQ doesn’t currently support. We don’t pull job-change data, so when a query relies on criteria that don’t exist in the system, the results won’t be accurate.
What we do support today is structured LinkedIn / Sales Navigator searches (location, title, industry) and intent-based sourcing (post engagement, followers, groups).
So for something like “Marketing directors in Dubai who recently changed jobs and work in the business sector” the right approach is:
-> Build the search directly in LinkedIn or Sales Navigator with Dubai + job title filters.
-> Paste that URL into ScaliQ. That will give you precise and consistent results.
The AI search is more flexible and exploratory, but it’s not meant to replace strict filters like location or specific signals.
Also, just to clarify, ScaliQ’s core strength is the conversational agent that handles outreach, replies, and booking. Lead sourcing is one part of the system, but the main value comes from turning those leads into actual conversations. Most users see the difference once they run campaigns and experience the quality of conversations and replies, which is what typically drives the strong reviews.
