$49/mo Free tier Free trial MCP API
Why it comes up: Apollo adds a sequencer and a large free plan on top of its contact data, from $49/mo, where Dievio is list building only.
Stands out: A large people database plus email sequences in one login, with MCP and a Chrome extension.
Watch out: Data quality varies by segment, and it does not match enterprise tools for intent data and org charts.
Best for
- Outbound recruiting and sales on one database
- Teams that want free-tier access to start
- Desks that need sequences next to the data

Why it comes up: Datamagnet is a live people and company data API with its own MCP server from $39/mo, aimed more at developers than list builders.
Stands out: Data is fetched from the live profile at the moment you ask rather than from a stored snapshot, and the credit price per call is published endpoint by endpoint, down to 1 credit for a basic person or company profile. The MCP server is unusually complete for a data vendor: 17 tools, OAuth sign in so no key is pasted into the AI app, and every tool states its credit cost before it runs.
Watch out: This is an API, not an app: there is no search interface or sourcing workflow, so someone has to build on it or use it through Clay, n8n or an AI assistant. Rate limits are low on self serve plans (10 to 30 requests a minute), and the richer calls such as post engagement, activity and ICP search pages cost 10 credits each, so a search heavy month burns credits ten times faster than plain enrichment. Emails and phone numbers come back only where they are publicly available, and the vendor does not describe a deliverability check.
Best for
- Recruiting tech teams building sourcing or enrichment into their own product or ATS
- Ops people running Clay or n8n workflows that need current titles, job changes and contact details
- Recruiters who want to query profiles and ICP searches from inside Claude or ChatGPT

Why it comes up: NioLeads scrapes Sales Navigator and Apollo searches and charges only for leads with a found email, from $29/mo.
Stands out: Billing counts found emails only, so leads without an email cost nothing and repeats within 30 days are free. Unused credits roll over up to twice the plan, and API access, team seats and Zapier come on every plan, the free one included.
Watch out: Scraping LinkedIn goes against LinkedIn's user agreement and can put the account you export from at risk. It returns business emails only, with no personal addresses or phone numbers, which limits it for candidate outreach. There are no refunds.
Best for
- Agency recruiters building hiring manager lists at target clients
- Teams exporting Apollo searches into their own sequencer
- Buyers who want API access on a small budget
