The short answer

  • People Data Labs : People and company API with a free tier if you want self-serve credits. From $98/mo
  • Coresignal : Workforce dataset if you want profile data more than live funding signals. From $49/mo
  • MixRank : Quote-based B2B data if install base and technographics are the job. From Sales-quoted
  • Cognism : Sales-quoted contact data if the buyer is an SDR team, not a data engineer. From Sales-quoted

Why people look past Crustdata

No public dollar prices; API access and flat-file datasets are arranged with sales. Built for data and product teams, not recruiters clicking through a UI.

What we noted

  • No published dollar pricing
  • No Chrome extension for recruiters
  • Flat files and API are separate deals

Not the right fit for

  • SDRs who want a Chrome finder with a card checkout
  • Buyers who do not want a data-license contract

Worth keeping in mind: Real-time hiring, funding and company-event signals via API, plus a hosted MCP server for AI agents.

What each one does differently

People Data Labs

$98/mo Free tier API

Why it comes up: People and company API with a free tier if you want self-serve credits.

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.

Best for

  • Developers enriching person records via API
  • Products that may later license a bulk feed
  • RevOps running CSV enrichment

Coresignal

$49/mo Free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: Workforce dataset if you want profile data more than live funding signals.

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.

Best for

  • Builders wiring company/employee/jobs data into agents
  • Clay and n8n shops
  • Sourcing teams that want APIs, not a UI database

MixRank

Sales-quoted Free trial API

Why it comes up: Quote-based B2B data if install base and technographics are the job.

Stands out: Six datasets under one contract, delivered into Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift or Postgres as well as by API.

Watch out: No rate card and no self-serve API key. Expect a 45-minute call, a trial and a scoped quote before you see a number.

Best for

  • Data teams replacing a stale B2B file
  • Products that need mobile app or SDK data
  • Buyers who want a bake-off trial

Cognism

Sales-quoted API

Why it comes up: Sales-quoted contact data if the buyer is an SDR team, not a data engineer.

Stands out: Phone-verified mobile numbers, on-demand verification and Bombora intent data on the Pro package.

Watch out: No published price. CRM enrichment and API or bulk delivery are separate add-ons, and API access needs a prospecting seat.

Best for

  • EMEA sales teams that need mobiles
  • Enterprises replacing a ZoomInfo-class contract
  • Teams that want intent data with contacts
