What each one does differently

FullEnrich

$55/mo Free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: Another waterfall enricher if you want a similar credit model and public pricing.

Stands out: Work email, mobile, personal email and reverse lookup on one credit meter, with MCP, API and unlimited users on Pro.

Watch out: A mobile costs 10 credits against 1 for a work email. $55 is the 1,000-credit stop; price rises with volume. Enterprise SSO is an add-on.

Best for

GTM teams waterfalling emails and mobiles
Builders using the API, Zapier, Make, Clay or n8n
Agencies that want unlimited users on one plan

Clay

$185/mo Free tier 14 day free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: Spreadsheet workflows with many providers when you need orchestration, not just enrichment.

Stands out: 150+ provider waterfall plus Claygent on every row, with MCP and API.

Watch out: Not a sender. Paid plans start at $185/mo on Launch, CRM sync needs Growth from $495/mo, and credit burn adds up.

Best for

Sourcers building enriched spreadsheets
Teams chaining many data vendors
Desks that want Claygent research columns

BetterContact

$15/mo Free tier

Why it comes up: Pay-per-valid-result emails and mobiles if you care more about API than a UI.

Stands out: A $15 waterfall across 10-plus sources: the anti-ZoomInfo for operators who care about hit-rate, not a branded graph.

Watch out: Starter is a toe-dip. Real volume is Pro $49 or Enterprise from $799. Free 50 credits are not a timed trial.

Best for

Operators running waterfalls instead of one database
HubSpot and Clay users
Teams that want emails and mobiles from many providers

Prospeo

$49/mo Free tier Free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: Finder plus verifier with a Chrome extension if you live in LinkedIn more than CSVs.

Stands out: Free plan plus first-party MCP and REST on a lightweight finder.

Watch out: No sequencer included, and coverage varies by region.

Best for

Desks that need email plus mobile before sequences
Teams that want MCP and API on a finder
Buyers who want a free plan to test coverage
