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

People Data Labs

Stands out: A free API sandbox, then self-serve Pro with contact data, premium fields and CSV enrichment on monthly or annual terms.

Watch out: Free hides email, phone and address. Annual saves 20% but is paid up front. Bulk data licenses are Enterprise and custom priced.

Not the right fit for

  • Non-technical users who need a prospecting UI
  • Buyers who need emails on the free plan
