Where they pull apart

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

LeadMarina

Stands out: Verification is in the lead meter, with REST and MCP on every plan including free.

Watch out: Unused leads do not roll over. Unlimited is a 210,000-per-week cap, not truly uncapped. Owner names appear only when the vendor can identify one.

Not the right fit for

National B2B prospecting against LinkedIn titles
Buyers who need unused leads to roll month to month
