Where they pull apart

Freckle

Stands out: Priced on output credits rather than action clicks, with unlimited seats and tables even on Free.

Watch out: Free includes 250 starting credits and 500 rows. HTTP API and bring-your-own keys start on Build. Enterprise is quoted above 500,000 credits.

Not the right fit for

  • Companies that need a documented public API on Free
  • Very large enrich jobs above 500,000 credits

People Data Labs

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.

Not the right fit for

  • Non-technical users who need a prospecting UI
  • Buyers who need emails on the free plan
