Where they pull apart

Coresignal

Stands out: A real data API plus MCP at $49 Mini: this is enrichment infrastructure, not a Chrome overlay.

Watch out: Mini is 2,500 credits. Starter is $199 and Pro $499. Treating $49 as production volume will fail in week two.

Not the right fit for

Recruiters who only want a LinkedIn Chrome finder
Teams that need a sequencer
Buyers who need ZoomInfo-the-UI

Pearch

Stands out: Hosted MCP at mcp.pearch.ai plus a REST search API that meters Fast vs Pro search.

Watch out: Credits expire by pack, in one to six months on the standard packs. Emails and phones cost 6 credits each on top of search.

Not the right fit for

Recruiters who only want a Chrome extension UI
Buyers who need unused credits to last a year on the starter pack
