Where they pull apart

Anysite

Stands out: A hosted MCP server gives Claude, Cursor or ChatGPT 650-plus web sources for a flat monthly price, with no credits to count.

Watch out: MCP plans are sized by throughput, so busy agents may need MCP x5 at $99/mo. The REST API is billed separately in credits.

Not the right fit for

SDRs who want a Chrome contact finder, not an MCP server
Buyers who need a native B2B email graph

Apify

Stands out: Hosted MCP at mcp.apify.com plus a Store of ready-made Actors, on a prepaid usage meter with overage billed on paid plans.

Watch out: Unused prepaid usage expires each cycle. Usage beyond Starter's $19 is billed on the next invoice, and residential proxy costs extra per GB.

Not the right fit for

Buyers who need unused credits to roll over
Non-technical teams that will not operate Actors
