Comparison
NumberBroom vs. PossibleNOW
How is NumberBroom different from PossibleNOW?
Short answerThey are not the same product, and for a lot of buyers PossibleNOW is the correct one. PossibleNOW runs full Do Not Call registry compliance -- federal, state, wireless and internal lists, across call, text, email and mail -- plus consent and preference management, litigation support and state telemarketer registration. Pricing is not published anywhere on their site; every route forward is a demo request or a quote form. NumberBroom does something narrower, priced per list with nothing up front: carrier validation and a TCPA litigator check on a CSV you upload, with a free 20-row preview, then $0.20 per number and a $5 minimum, shown before you pay. No demo, no contract and no account to open first. NumberBroom checks only the federal registry, under your own SAN, on lists of up to 1,000 numbers, and no state or internal list.

On this page
PossibleNOW is one of the oldest names in DNC compliance, and comparing it to NumberBroom on price alone would be misleading. The two products overlap on one check and diverge on everything else. This page is mostly about where that line falls, because picking the wrong side of it is expensive in both directions.
The scope difference comes first, because it decides everything
PossibleNOW sells a compliance platform. DNCSolution scrubs the federal registry, all state registries, wireless lists and your own internal suppression lists, and it does that across calls, texts, email and direct mail rather than phone alone. Around it sit a Known Litigator List, a Reassigned Numbers Database check, an established-business-relationship policy engine that encodes the rules state by state, automatic re-scrub scheduling, litigation support and a service that files your state telemarketer registrations. Consent and preference management is a second platform again.
NumberBroom does one narrow thing: you upload a CSV, every US number in it is checked with carrier-level validation, line type and an activity score that identifies disconnected numbers, and known litigators are removed and counted. The clean file holds only the rows that passed, with those fields appended, and a second file holds the other rows it removed, each with its reason, known litigators included, with the litigator matches also in a file of their own. Its only registry work is a federal check run under your own SAN, on signed-in scrubs of up to 1,000 numbers; it does not manage consent records, and it does not file anything on your behalf.
Registry access stays yours, even when we run the check
Federal registry access runs through a Subscription Account Number the seller obtains annually from the FTC. That obligation belongs to the caller and no vendor takes it off you. NumberBroom's federal check runs under your SAN, on lists of up to 1,000 numbers, and you pay the FTC for your own area codes. PossibleNOW's quote form asks whether you already hold registry access, which is the same fact viewed from their side.
So the honest framing is not a price contest. These two products answer different questions, and only one of them is answered by a $5 upload.
One publishes a price; one asks what your volume is
| PossibleNOW | NumberBroom | |
|---|---|---|
| Published price | None found on any page | $0.20 per number, $5 minimum |
| How you get a number | Quote form, then a sales conversation | Shown before you pay |
| Primary call to action | "Book a Demo" / "Request Trial Account" | Upload a CSV |
| Commitment | "Annual and multi-year options" per their FAQ | None between jobs |
| DNC registry scrubbing | Yes, federal and state | Federal only, your own SAN, lists up to 1,000; state: No |
| TCPA litigator check | Yes, as a named add-on | Yes, on every job |
| SAN required | Registry access required; their form asks | Only for the federal check, and it must be your own |
The quote form asks for your monthly call volume before it produces a figure, which is a reasonable way to price a platform and a poor fit for someone with one list and one afternoon. That is the entire gap this page describes.
Quick check: a platform or one check?
Pick an answer to see whether it is right, and why.
Where each one fits
- You are running a sustained outbound program where registry scrubbing, state rules, EBR tracking and re-scrub cycles are live TCPA obligations. That is a platform purchase. PossibleNOW is a serious vendor in that category and a $5 tool is not a substitute.
- You bought or skip-traced a list and need to know what is actually in it before anyone dials. That is a per-job question, and paying an annual contract to answer it once is the wrong shape.
- You already have registry access through your own SAN and want the carrier and litigator layer on top without adding a platform. That is the case NumberBroom was built for.

Frequently asked questions
How is PossibleNOW priced?
They do not say. As of a scrape on October 8, 2026, no dollar figure appears anywhere on their site -- not on the homepage, the DNCSolution product pages, the FAQ, or the page that is itself titled for pricing. That page is a form headlined "Get Customized Pricing for Your Company Today", which asks for your company, your monthly call volume and whether you already have access to the state and federal DNC lists. Their FAQ explains that pricing "is scalable based on your size, number of contacts, channels, and complexity" and mentions "annual and multi-year options", which tells you the shape of the deal without telling you the number. This is a normal enterprise motion and not a criticism; it does mean you cannot get its pricing without talking to someone, so ask them for current figures. NumberBroom shows its price before you pay: see pricing.
Can I buy PossibleNOW without talking to sales?
No path to it was findable. Every product page ends in the same two buttons, "Book a Demo" and "Request Trial Account", and both are forms. The trial page is titled "Request a Trial Account" but its body text says "Schedule a demo today" and its fields are a demo-interest checklist, so even the trial appears to route through a person. Whether a trial is ever granted without that call is not something the site states, so we do not claim it either way.
Does NumberBroom scrub the National Do Not Call Registry?
Only the federal registry, narrowly, and this is the most important difference on the page. A signed-in paid NumberBroom scrub includes a federal Do Not Call Registry check, under your own FTC subscription (SAN), included free on lists of up to 1,000 numbers; it never checks state or internal lists. Federal registry access runs through a SAN that the seller obtains annually from the FTC, and that obligation stays with the seller. PossibleNOW's own list-management page states the SAN requirement plainly, and their quote form asks whether you already hold registry access. Beyond that, NumberBroom covers a different question: is this number live, what line type is it, and is it a known litigator. If you need full registry scrubbing, you need a registry vendor, and this is not one. See Do I need a SAN? for the longer answer.
What does PossibleNOW do that NumberBroom does not?
A great deal, and it is worth being specific rather than vague. DNCSolution scrubs federal, state, wireless and internal lists across call, text, email and mail. On top of that they sell a Reassigned Numbers Database check, a Known Litigator List, a state-by-state established-business-relationship policy engine, automatic re-scrub scheduling on the 15-day wireless and 31-day federal cycles, wireless e-signature capture, consent and preference management as a separate platform, research and resources to help defend do-not-call claims, and a service that handles state telemarketer registration for you. They describe themselves as SOC 2 certified with 26 years in business and 700+ customers, and they advertise a 100% compliance guarantee. Those are their claims rather than our measurements, but the breadth of the product line is plainly real. NumberBroom does one job.
Which one should a small team pick?
It depends on which obligation is actually binding on you. If you run outbound at a scale where the registry, state-level rules, EBR tracking and re-scrub cycles are genuinely your compliance surface, a platform is the right answer and a $5 CSV tool will not substitute for one. If your list came from a lead vendor or a skip trace and the question in front of you this week is how many of these numbers are dead, how many are landlines, and which ones belong to serial filers, then the platform is a large answer to a small question and NumberBroom costs $5 to try.
