Compare/Head to head
Same facts, side by side: starting price, free tier, MCP, API and what each one is actually built for.
Starting price
$19/mo Free tier
Actor marketplace and scraping platform with MCP. Free includes $5 usage; paid Starter is $19/mo plus pay-as-you-go.
Where Apify fits
$49/mo 7 day free trial
MCP toolkit that gives the AI agent you already run, such as Claude, ChatGPT, Grok or Cursor, live LinkedIn profile, people, company and job data, plus email finding and verification, a Postgres database, schedules and an inbox, all on one key. LinkedIn calls cost $0.009 each, plans start at $49/mo with $20 of data credits, and a 7 day trial needs no card. Best for recruiters who work through an AI assistant, not those who want a point and click search screen.

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.

Superagnt
Stands out: 52 LinkedIn tools on one endpoint cover full profiles with skills and recommendations, people search by title, company, school and location, job search, and the hiring team behind a posting, at a flat $0.009 a call. Results can land straight in the workspace database, and long lists run as background data jobs, so an agent can work through thousands of profiles without holding a chat open.
Watch out: There is no app to search in: everything happens through an AI agent or the REST API, so someone has to be comfortable working that way. The LinkedIn tools read data only, and none of them send connection requests or messages. Every plan cap is hard, including the included data credits, and AI tokens for agents deployed on the platform are billed separately. There is no free plan after the trial.
