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

Pros and cons

Captain Data

  • 100 free credits, no card
  • No seat fees or feature tiers
  • API key available at signup
  • Prices in euros only
  • Unit rate depends on volume
  • No prospecting UI for reps

LinkFinder AI

  • Professional from $59/mo on annual billing
  • Every feature on every plan
  • Pay-as-you-go packs never expire
  • Phone lookups cost 50 credits each
  • Failed API lookups still use credits
  • Refund guarantee lasts only 14 days
