BlitzAPI vs Wiza (2026): Data, Pricing and API Compared

BlitzAPI and Wiza both return verified emails, but they are built for different buyers. BlitzAPI is a data API on flat monthly plans with no seats. Wiza is a LinkedIn-first prospecting tool sold per user, with an API you ask for. Pick BlitzAPI for code and Wiza for reps.

Verdict

• Pick BlitzAPI if you run a pipeline in code and want people, company and job data on one flat monthly price, with no seats. Verified emails need the $499 Plus plan, a launch price for accounts opened by September 30, 2026.
• Pick Wiza if a rep or a small team prospects from LinkedIn and wants emails and phones checked at the moment of the request. One seat is cheap.
• Pick neither if you need bulk volume through an API at a published flat price. BlitzAPI's launch prices closed to new accounts on September 30, and Wiza prices its API on a call. See the LeadOcean section below.

Side by side

Data and coverage

Wiza claims the bigger dataset on paper. It says 850M+ contacts and publishes no split by email or phone (Wiza homepage, September 2026). BlitzAPI lists 550M+ profiles and 65M+ companies (BlitzAPI docs, September 2026). The numbers are not like for like. One counts contacts Wiza can reach, the other counts stored profiles.

The real difference is how each treats freshness. Wiza says it verifies contact data "the moment you request it" and charges only for emails it marks valid (Wiza homepage, September 2026). BlitzAPI stores verified work emails and re-tests them at least every 30 days. It publishes 65M+ of them (BlitzAPI docs, September 2026).

Phones split them hard. BlitzAPI holds 45M+ numbers and they are US only (BlitzAPI docs, September 2026). Phone endpoints are not on its free trial (BlitzAPI llms-full, September 2026). Wiza publishes no phone count and no country limit, so test it on your regions.

BlitzAPI also has data Wiza does not publish: 100M+ job postings and endpoints to search by hiring signals (BlitzAPI docs, September 2026). If your trigger is "they are hiring a data engineer", that matters.

Match rate depends on your list, not on a headline number. Run 1,000 of your own records through both before you commit.

API and developer experience

BlitzAPI is one synchronous call. You send a LinkedIn URL and get found and the email back. A call that finds nothing counts nothing. The key goes in x-api-key (BlitzAPI docs, September 2026).

curl -X POST "https://api.blitz-api.ai/v2/enrichment/email" \
  -H "x-api-key: $BLITZAPI_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"person_linkedin_url":"https://www.linkedin.com/in/jane-doe"}'

Wiza is two calls. The POST starts a real-time reveal and returns a queued job with an id. You read the result with GET /api/individual_reveals/{id} or wait for a webhook (Wiza docs, September 2026). It does accept a name plus company or domain, which BlitzAPI's email endpoint does not.

curl -X POST "https://wiza.co/api/individual_reveals" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $WIZA_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"individual_reveal":{"profile_url":"https://www.linkedin.com/in/jane-doe"},"enrichment_level":"partial"}'

Rate limits shape what you can build. BlitzAPI limits requests per second, per endpoint, so email and phone calls run in parallel without sharing a budget (BlitzAPI docs, September 2026). The 50 per second figure is tied to accounts opened by September 30. Standard accounts run at 5 (BlitzAPI pricing, September 2026). BlitzAPI has not published plan prices for accounts opened after September 30. Its Terms say later plans carry the limits on the website or order form at signup (BlitzAPI Terms, September 2026).

Wiza limits concurrency, not requests per second: 5 in flight on Starter API and 15+ on Enterprise, with the rest queued (Wiza docs, September 2026). Its help center words the same limit as 15 requests a second (Wiza help, September 2026). Plan around the lower docs figure.

On MCP, Wiza has the edge for data. Its hosted server has 5 tools, including enrich_contact and search_prospects, and signs in with OAuth 2.1 (Wiza MCP guide, September 2026). BlitzAPI's MCP server gives an AI tool the API documentation, not records (BlitzAPI docs, September 2026).

Pricing

BlitzAPI charges a flat plan fee by data type. Wiza charges a seat, plus credits for API use. Here are both at 10,000 records a month, then what is known at 1M.

BlitzAPI at 10,000 records. Core is $399 a month and leaves out emails and phones. Plus is $499 and adds verified work emails. Full is $599 and adds US phone numbers (BlitzAPI pricing, September 2026). 10,000 work emails need Plus: $499 x 1 month = $499. Paid plans carry no per-request fee.

Wiza at 10,000 records. The monthly Email plan is $99 per user and includes 500 valid emails. Extra emails cost $0.15 each (Wiza pricing, September 2026). So $99 + (9,500 x $0.15) = $99 + $1,425 = $1,524 a month for one seat, emails only.

The annual route looks cheaper. An annual Email seat is $83 a month with unlimited email reveals. It caps exports at 2,500 a month, so 10,000 exports needs 4 seats: 4 x $83 = $332. Teams of 3 or more are on custom Team pricing, so $332 is not a price you can buy (Wiza pricing, September 2026). Wiza's API credits (2 per valid email) have no public dollar price (Wiza docs, September 2026).

At 1M records. BlitzAPI's list price covers it. 1,000,000 work-email results sit under the 15,000,000 results a month fair use line, so one Plus plan applies: $499 x 1 month = $499. That line, and the $499, belong to accounts opened by September 30, 2026 (BlitzAPI Terms, September 2026). Time matters too: 1,000,000 / 50 per second = 20,000 seconds, about 5.6 hours. At the standard 5 per second it is 200,000 seconds, about 2.3 days.

Phones and extras add cost on both sides. On Wiza's Email plans a phone is $0.35 each (Wiza pricing, September 2026). API credits are pre-paid and expire after 12 months (Wiza docs, September 2026). On BlitzAPI, phones mean the $599 Full plan. None of the three paid plans carries an SLA (BlitzAPI llms-full, September 2026).

Wiza publishes no 1M price. Its API page says "Book a call to discuss API pricing" (Wiza API page, September 2026). We do not multiply entry rates out to 1M, because Wiza does not sell it at that rate.

Where BlitzAPI wins

• A flat bill with no seats. At 10,000 records it costs $499 against $1,524 for one Wiza seat. At 1M it still lists at $499 for launch-offer accounts.
• Job postings and hiring signals. 100M+ postings and search endpoints that Wiza does not publish (BlitzAPI docs, September 2026).
• A list price you can read. The launch-offer plans are on the pricing page. Wiza's API price sits behind a sales call.
• Company data. It holds 65M+ companies and has company search and enrichment endpoints. Wiza publishes no company count.

Where Wiza wins

• LinkedIn workflow and live verification. Wiza builds lists from Sales Navigator and Recruiter, and checks contact data at request time (Wiza help, September 2026).
• Cheap for one person. Starter is $49 a month, and the annual Email plan is $83 with unlimited email reveals (Wiza pricing, September 2026). One rep does not need $499.
• An MCP server that returns data. Wiza's tools search prospects and enrich contacts. BlitzAPI's only reads documentation.
• Phones past the US. Wiza states no country limit on phones. BlitzAPI's are US only, so test Wiza on your regions.
