Three moves for this week.
-
Privacy
When you connect Google, Pancake's Privacy Policy lists full Gmail access (read, compose, send and manage), plus Drive, Docs, Sheets, Calendar and Contacts. Connect a separate sending mailbox rather than your main inbox, and revoke access from your Google account if you stop using it.
-
Accuracy
Pancake's Terms say AI output may be inaccurate and you're responsible for checking it. Every opener cites a “signal” like a post, role or funding round, so open the source on your first 20 leads before you approve the sequence.
-
Cost
The 7-day trial needs a card and turns into a paid plan ($99 a month for 60,000 credits) unless you cancel. A lead costs about 100 to 500 credits, a work email 50 more, and payments are non-refundable. Check the credit estimate before each search.
Watch out: approving leads in bulk and letting cold follow-ups go out under your name unread.
Power and Risk scores are editorial judgment for marketers and small-business operators, not laboratory tests or legal advice. Power = leverage (dangerous in a good way). Risk = what can go wrong (privacy, wrong answers, lock-in, cost surprises). Tools change; re-check pricing, privacy policies, and data controls before you adopt anything.
