People leave FullEnrich when a waterfall becomes a meter. A work email is 1 credit, a personal email 3 and a mobile 10. Pro starts at $29 a month for 500 credits ($0.058 each), and the 1,000-credit tier is $55 ($0.055) (FullEnrich pricing, September 2026). The API allows 60 calls a minute by default, and search costs 0.25 credits per person returned (FullEnrich docs, September 2026). That is fine for a rep enriching a short list. It is a poor fit for a pipeline that pulls millions of records in code or through an agent.
This page ranks seven alternatives for API and volume buyers. LeadOcean is first because it has one flat price, no credits and an MCP server that returns records. For a two-column view, see LeadOcean vs FullEnrich. If you only need the API side, read FullEnrich API alternatives.
TL;DR
| Tool | Best for | Starting price | Cost at 1M records a month |
|---|---|---|---|
| LeadOcean | API, agent and volume buyers | Free (1,000 records, one-off). Pro $499 a month | $499 a month flat. Fair use applies |
| BlitzAPI | Flat-price people and company search by API | Core $399 a month. Plus $499 adds verified emails | $499 on Plus, inside the 15M monthly line for accounts opened by September 30, 2026 |
| LeadMagic | Low per-credit price for valid emails | Essential $99 a month for 5,000 credits | No public 1M price. Top tier is Ultimate, $849 a month for 100,000 credits ($0.00849 a credit) |
| BetterContact | A second waterfall with a lower entry price | Pro $49 a month for 1,000 credits | No public 1M price. Top public tier is 50,000 credits for $1,999 a month ($0.03998 a credit) |
| Prospeo | Reps who want an extension and pay-as-you-go emails | Starter $49 a month per user | $14,456 a month on monthly billing, or $11,223 billed once yearly. Seats included |
| People Data Labs | Person and company data licences | Pro from $98 a month for 350 credits | No public 1M price. Pro is about $0.20 to $0.28 a profile, and above about 100,000 profiles a year it is quote only |

"1M records" here means 1M work-email lookups that return a result, one credit each where the vendor uses credits. Figures are list prices where a plan sells that volume, and the cell says so where none does. Enterprise quotes are lower, so ask each vendor at your volume.
What we evaluated
- API access: which plan opens it, the endpoints that return people and companies, and the default rate limit.
- MCP: whether an agent can search and enrich through the server, or only read documentation.
- Price model: flat, credits or seats, and what 1M records a month costs at list price.
- Data: stated coverage, email and phone fields, and whether phones work outside the US.
- Limits that bite: search charges, plan gates, daily caps and fair-use clauses.
We read each vendor's pricing page and docs in September 2026. We ran no find-rate or accuracy test for this page, so we quote no quality numbers. FullEnrich says it queries 25+ sources per contact (FullEnrich pricing, September 2026). We do not claim any tool here matches that find rate.
1. LeadOcean: best for API, agent and volume buyers
LeadOcean is one dataset behind one REST API and one MCP server. It holds 693M people, 366M with an email and 166M with a phone number, plus 63M companies. You search with 50 people filters and 34 company filters. Counts are free. Enrichment is POST /v1/people/enrich, phones are GET /v2/people/phone, and exports run up to 50,000 rows per request.
The price does not move with volume. Pro is $499 a month with unlimited searches, enrichments and lookups, 5 API keys and 100 requests per second per key. There are no credits and no overage invoice. A very large month is paced down to one request a minute until the reset, not cut off. More headroom is one email to support.
curl -X POST "https://api.leadocean.io/v1/people/enrich" \
-H "x-api-key: $LEADOCEAN_API_KEY" \
-H "content-type: application/json" \
-d '{"linkedin_url":"https://www.linkedin.com/in/jane-doe","reveal_email":true}'The MCP server at https://api.leadocean.io/mcp signs in with OAuth 2.1 and exposes 12 tools, from search_leads to find_phone and export_leads. Claude, Cursor or your own agent can pull records directly. Every person or company returned counts as one record, and count_leads is free, so you can size an audience before you pull it.
Pros
- Flat $499 a month at any volume, with no credit meter.
- REST and MCP on every plan, including Free.
- A phone lookup is one record, not ten credits.
- Email status on every record, from
verifiedtospam_trap. - Free counts, and a miss on
POST /v1/people/enrichis a free 404.
Cons
- One dataset, not a waterfall across 25+ sources. A mobile we lack stays missing.
- A miss on a v2 contact endpoint still costs one record.
- No rep workspace, sequencer, dialer or Chrome extension. You work in the app's export page, the API or MCP.
Best for: engineers, RevOps and agents that need volume and a fixed bill.
Pricing: Free is 1,000 records, one-off, no card. Pro is $499 a month, flat (LeadOcean pricing, September 2026).
2. BlitzAPI: best for flat-price search and enrichment by API
BlitzAPI sells B2B data as an API on flat monthly plans. Its docs list 550M+ contacts tied to LinkedIn profiles, 65M+ companies and 65M+ verified emails (BlitzAPI docs, September 2026). It is the closest rival to LeadOcean on price model, and the clearest exit from a credit meter.
The plan ladder is where it gets fiddly. 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). If you enrich for contact data, you buy Plus or Full.
Check two details before you commit. The 50 requests per second is tied to accounts opened by September 30, 2026, against a standard 5 per second, and limits apply per endpoint (BlitzAPI docs, September 2026). And its MCP server gives an assistant the API documentation, not the data (BlitzAPI docs, September 2026). Phone enrichment is US only.
Pros
- Flat monthly price. The 15,000,000 results a month fair-use line is the launch-offer limit for accounts opened by September 30, 2026 (BlitzAPI terms, September 2026). Limits for later accounts are not published.
- Verified emails on $499 Plus, where FullEnrich has no public price at 1M. Its top public tier is 100,000 credits for $3,500 a month.
- A free trial of 1,000 credits with no card.
Cons
- Three paid tiers, and phones need the top one.
- Phones are US only, so a global mobile list will miss.
- The MCP server reads docs. An agent cannot search or enrich through it.
- The fast rate limit depends on when the account opened.
Best for: teams that want a flat-price search and enrichment API and run their own code.
Pricing: Core $399, Plus $499, Full $599 a month (BlitzAPI pricing, September 2026).
3. LeadMagic: best for a low per-credit price on valid emails
LeadMagic is a credit-based enrichment API. It lists 400M+ people profiles and 25M+ companies, and reaches them through REST, CSV, a command-line tool and a hosted MCP server (LeadMagic, September 2026). Failed lookups cost nothing, the same rule FullEnrich uses.
The credit price falls as you climb the plans. Essential is $99 a month for 5,000 credits. Professional is $499 for 50,000. Ultimate is $849 for 100,000, or $0.00849 a credit, and it is the top public tier (LeadMagic pricing, September 2026). A valid email costs 1 credit and a mobile costs 5, half of FullEnrich's 10.
The Email Finder endpoint allows 600 requests a minute, ten times FullEnrich's default. LeadMagic also states that a sustained find rate below 10% can lead to throttling or suspension (LeadMagic docs, September 2026). The MCP server uses OAuth, and a preview_cost call shows the price of a large job first (LeadMagic docs, September 2026).
Pros
- The lowest per-credit list price among the credit tools here.
- A mobile at 5 credits instead of 10.
- Hosted MCP with a cost preview before large operations.
Cons
- The top public plan is 100,000 credits, so 1M a month has no public price.
- One source, so it will not match a 25+ source waterfall on mobiles.
- A minimum find-rate policy can throttle lists with poor match rates.
Best for: teams that enrich a few hundred thousand valid emails a month and want the cheapest credits.
Pricing: Essential $99, Growth $249, Professional $499, Ultimate $849 a month (LeadMagic pricing, September 2026).
4. BetterContact: best for a second waterfall at a lower entry price
BetterContact is the closest like-for-like swap. It is also a waterfall. It asks 20+ data providers for an email or a mobile and charges only for valid results (BetterContact, September 2026). If the waterfall is why you bought FullEnrich, this is the tool to test against it.
The meter looks familiar. One email is 1 credit and one mobile is 10. Pro starts at $49 a month for 1,000 credits, and the published steps end at 50,000 credits for $1,999 (BetterContact pricing, September 2026). That is $0.03998 a credit at the top step. At the 1,000-credit tier BetterContact is $0.049 a credit against FullEnrich's $0.055. FullEnrich's top public tier is lower, $0.035 a credit at 100,000 credits.
Volume is the limit. API calls are capped at 100 requests a minute on Starter and 200 on Pro, and a client that retries too hard can be blocked (BetterContact docs, September 2026). Enrichment is asynchronous, with batches of up to 100 leads (BetterContact docs, September 2026). We found no MCP server in its API index (BetterContact, September 2026).
Pros
- A true waterfall across 20+ providers, like FullEnrich.
- A lower credit price than FullEnrich at the 1,000-credit tier.
- Pay only for valid results.
Cons
- Mobiles cost 10 credits each, the same as FullEnrich.
- 100 to 200 API requests a minute, and a block if you retry too hard.
- No MCP server found, so an agent needs your own wrapper.
- Above 50,000 credits, pricing is a quote.
Best for: teams that want waterfall contact data on lists they already own and will stay on credits.
Pricing: Pro from $49 a month for 1,000 credits. Top published step 50,000 credits for $1,999 (BetterContact pricing, September 2026).
5. Prospeo: best for reps who want a Chrome extension
Prospeo is an email and mobile finder sold per user on credits. It has a REST API, a Chrome extension and an MCP server, and it has the same credit ratio as FullEnrich. One verified email is 1 credit and one mobile is 10. A search page of up to 25 results also costs 1 credit (Prospeo help center, September 2026).
Plans are priced per user. Starter is $49 a month per user, and credit add-ons fall to $0.01 a credit at 350,000 a month and $0.009 at 500,000 a year (Prospeo pricing, September 2026). No add-on reaches 1M in a month, and the per-seat fee sits on top of the credit price.
The cheapest public path to 1M a month on monthly billing is 44 Pro seats at $249 (15,000 credits each) plus the 350,000-credit add-on at $3,500. That is $14,456 a month for 1,010,000 credits. Billed yearly, 3 Pro seats at $2,241 a year plus the 500,000-credit yearly add-on at $4,500 cost $11,223, paid once, for 1,040,000 credits upfront. Yearly seats cannot be mixed with a monthly add-on.
The API limits are tight for volume. Enrichment runs at 5 requests a second on Starter and Growth and 30 on Pro, with daily caps from 2,000 to 500,000 requests (Prospeo docs, September 2026). Free plan API access is disputed. The pricing table shows none, while the help center lists 1 request a second and 50 a day (Prospeo help center, October 2026). The public pages do not settle it, so test a free key before you plan around it. The hosted MCP server has 8 tools and signs in with OAuth 2.0 or an API key (Prospeo docs, September 2026).
Pros
- Chrome extension, CRM sync and an MCP server in one tool.
- Re-enriching the same record inside 90 days is free.
- A free plan with 100 credits a month.
Cons
- Per-user pricing plus credits makes team cost hard to forecast.
- Mobiles are 10 credits each, like FullEnrich.
- Daily request caps on Starter and Growth.
Best for: reps and small teams that want an extension and pay-as-you-go emails.
Pricing: Free with 100 credits a month. Starter from $49 a month per user (Prospeo pricing, September 2026).
6. People Data Labs: best for data licences and per-match enrichment

People Data Labs (PDL) is a long-running person and company data API with bulk licences. It charges per match: a request that returns a person costs one credit, and a miss costs none. It is ISO and SOC 2 Type 2 compliant, which matters for procurement (PDL pricing, September 2026).
The entry price is high per record. Pro starts at $98 a month for 350 credits, which is $0.28 each, and PDL says Pro profiles run about $0.20 to $0.28 each by volume (PDL blog, September 2026). The Free plan gives up to 100 records a month with contact data hidden. Above about 100,000 profiles a year it is Enterprise and quote only, with no public 1M price (PDL docs, September 2026).
Enrichment allows 1,000 calls a minute on paid plans, far above FullEnrich's 60. Bulk enrichment takes up to 100 records per request (PDL docs, September 2026). PDL's docs index lists no MCP server (PDL docs, September 2026). It is not a waterfall, so it suits profile data more than mobile hunting.
Pros
- A fast API with a stated 1,000 calls a minute on paid plans.
- Bulk person enrichment and dataset licences for your own warehouse.
- ISO and SOC 2 Type 2 shown on the pricing page.
Cons
- $0.28 a record at the entry rate, so volume needs a sales call.
- Contact data is hidden on the Free plan.
- No MCP server in the docs, so agents need a wrapper you host.
Best for: teams that license data or need compliance paperwork and accept per-record pricing.
Pricing: Free up to 100 records a month. Pro from $98 a month for 350 credits. Enterprise custom (PDL pricing, September 2026).
7. Findymail: best for verified emails with a bounce guarantee
Findymail is an email finder that verifies each address when you ask for it. It bills one credit per email found and 10 per phone number, and nothing when it finds no verified email (Findymail docs, September 2026). It advertises a bounce guarantee on its pricing page.
Its pricing page blocks automated reading, so we print no Findymail price. Read plans and credit rates on Findymail's pricing page. The phone endpoint returns US numbers only, and returns nothing for EU citizens (Findymail docs, September 2026).
For agents, Findymail ships an official MCP server with 14 tools (Findymail plugin, September 2026). The API allows 300 concurrent requests (Findymail docs, September 2026). Search is a plain-language query capped at 5,000 companies, not a structured filter set.
Pros
- Every email is verified when requested, and misses are free.
- A bounce guarantee on the pricing page.
- Official MCP server with 14 tools.
Cons
- Phones are US only at 10 credits each.
- No structured people filters in the docs.
- Pricing is not readable by automated tools, so check it by hand.
Best for: outbound teams and agencies that want verified emails with a guarantee.
Pricing: Not published here. See Findymail's pricing page.

Sources are linked in each tool section, all checked in September 2026. Vendors change plans often, so confirm on the pricing page before you buy. The 1M column is list price on email lookups where a plan sells that volume. BetterContact, LeadMagic and FullEnrich sell none, so their cells say so. BetterContact's top public tier is 50,000 credits for $1,999 a month ($0.03998 a credit), and 1M at that rate would be $39,980, which is arithmetic, not a price. LeadMagic's is Ultimate at $849 a month for 100,000 credits ($0.00849), and FullEnrich's is 100,000 credits for $3,500 a month ($0.035). Prospeo is its cheapest public path. PDL and Findymail have no public 1M price, so their cells say so.
How to choose
- You pull data in code or with an agent, at volume: LeadOcean. One flat price, REST and MCP on every plan, 100 requests per second.
- You want a flat-price API from a second vendor: BlitzAPI Plus, if you can live with a docs-only MCP server.
- You want another waterfall: BetterContact, and budget 10 credits per mobile.
- You buy valid emails by the hundred thousand: LeadMagic, at $0.00849 a credit on Ultimate.
- Your reps live in a Chrome extension: Prospeo.
- You need compliance paperwork or a licensed dataset: People Data Labs.
- You want verified emails and a bounce guarantee: Findymail.
- You need mobiles on a short list more than volume: stay on FullEnrich and use a flat-price API for the rest. See LeadOcean vs FullEnrich.
Verdict
LeadOcean wins for API, agent and volume buyers. It has a flat price, emails and phones in one plan, and an MCP server that returns records. BlitzAPI is the flat-price runner-up if you run your own code. BetterContact is the pick if you want another waterfall, and LeadMagic wins for cheap valid emails. Prospeo suits reps, PDL suits licensed datasets and Findymail suits verified emails with a guarantee. Stay on FullEnrich if a 25+ source waterfall on mobiles is the whole job. Otherwise start on the free plan and compare the same lookups.
FAQ
Why do teams leave FullEnrich?
Cost and shape at volume. Credits are the meter: 1 for a work email, 10 for a mobile, and 0.25 for each search result (FullEnrich docs, September 2026). The default API limit is 60 calls a minute, with 100 contacts per bulk request (FullEnrich docs, September 2026).
What is the cheapest FullEnrich alternative at volume?
At 1M records a month, LeadOcean at $499 flat and BlitzAPI Plus at $499 are the only flat prices on the list. PDL has no public 1M price and Findymail publishes none we could read. LeadMagic has no public price at 1M either, and its top tier is $849 a month for 100,000 credits. Credit and per-record models cost far more at list, and Enterprise quotes narrow the gap.
What does FullEnrich cost at 1M records a month?
FullEnrich publishes no price at 1M work emails. The highest public monthly tier is 100,000 credits for $3,500 a month ($0.035 a credit), and above that you contact sales (FullEnrich pricing, September 2026). The yearly toggle lists 1,200,000 credits a year for $37,800 billed yearly. The $0.055 rate is the 1,000-credit tier, not the cheapest path.
Which FullEnrich alternative is also a waterfall?
BetterContact, which asks 20+ providers per lead (BetterContact, September 2026). The others here use one source each. LeadOcean is one dataset, so pair it with a waterfall only for the mobiles it lacks.
Which alternative has an MCP server that returns data?
LeadOcean, LeadMagic, Prospeo and Findymail do. BlitzAPI's server reads documentation only. We found no MCP server for BetterContact or PDL. FullEnrich itself has one at mcp.fullenrich.com/mcp (FullEnrich help, September 2026).
Do I need a credit card to try LeadOcean?
No. The free plan needs a work email and no card. It gives you 1,000 records, one-off, with the same API and MCP server as Pro. See pricing.
