Bottom line
B2B people and company data through a credit-based API, monthly flat files or MCP. Quote-based pricing.
Stands out for: Real-time hiring, funding and company-event signals via API, plus a hosted MCP server for AI agents.
Watch out for: No public dollar prices; API access and flat-file datasets are arranged with sales. Built for data and product teams, not recruiters clicking through a UI.
Overview
Crustdata sells B2B people and company data two ways. Real-time API access is credit-based and covers live hiring, funding and company-event signals, with Company, Person, Job, Web and Social Post APIs for search and enrichment. Flat files deliver a monthly refresh of millions of companies and profiles, unified from 11-plus sources as CSV or JSON. A hosted MCP server exposes the data to AI agents.
Teams pick Crustdata when they want signals and a dataset rather than a recruiter UI. API usage runs on credit tiers with monthly and annual payment plans, but dollar amounts come from sales. You can request API access or a sample file first. Custom datasets and enterprise support are quoted separately. There is no free plan.
