Where they pull apart

Captain Data

Stands out: One credit meter for every endpoint, with no seat fees and no feature tiers.

Watch out: Prices are in euros only. The per-credit rate depends on monthly volume, and pilot or high-volume pricing is set with sales.

Not the right fit for

US buyers who need USD pricing
Non-technical users who need a prospecting UI

LinkFinder AI

Stands out: Every plan gets every feature: REST API, MCP server, CSV bulk, Google Sheets and HubSpot sync. Only the credit volume changes.

Watch out: Phone lookups cost 50 credits each, and failed API lookups still use credits. The 14-day guarantee is a refund, not a timed trial.

Not the right fit for

SDRs who want a sequencer in the same tool
Phone-heavy workflows on a small budget
