Same facts, side by side: starting price, free tier, MCP, API and what each one is actually built for.

Starting price

Captain Data

€59.99/1k credits

Usage-based B2B data API priced in euros. Base rate is €59.99 per 1,000 credits, falling with volume, and new accounts get 100 free credits.

Where Captain Data fits

  • Builders who want to pay per credit, not per seat
  • Data pipelines that already call REST APIs
  • Teams testing with 100 free credits
  • Buyers comfortable with euro invoicing

TexAu

$79/mo

TexAu is cloud automation recipes for LinkedIn, X, and growth workflows, with a 14-day trial and paid Solo from $79/mo on annual billing.

Where TexAu fits

  • Growth teams that want LinkedIn and X automations without a local Chrome plugin
  • Lead-gen shops chaining capture, enrich, and invite in one recipe
  • Agencies that reuse the same playbooks across client workspaces
  • Buyers comparing a recipe builder with PhantomBuster-style clouds

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

TexAu

Stands out: Recipes chain capture, enrich, and outreach steps in the cloud, so you are not babysitting a Chrome extension overnight.

Watch out: LinkedIn can still restrict aggressive automation. TexAu is a workflow engine, not a dedicated sequencer with warmup and a unibox.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that only need a Gmail mail merge
  • Enterprises that want a sales-engagement suite with legal safe-harbor copy

Pros and cons

Captain Data

  • 100 free credits, no card

TexAu

  • Cloud recipes for LinkedIn and X, not a laptop Chrome plugin
  • Published $79/mo listing floor you can budget against
  • Reusable playbooks for agencies running the same motion twice
  • Not a cold-email sequencer with warmup and placement tests
  • LinkedIn risk sits with how hard you run the recipes
  • No MCP or public API called out on the listing
