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

PhantomBuster

Stands out: Hosted MCP at mcp.phantombuster.com plus 100+ Phantoms that run without your browser open.

Watch out: You act through your own social accounts, so limits and bans are on you. Execution hours, slots, and email credits all cap out. Exports on the trial are 10 rows.

Not the right fit for

Buyers who want a pre-built B2B database
Teams unwilling to connect their own LinkedIn accounts
