Where they pull apart

hireEZ

Stands out: Open-web sourcing plus sequences and contact data in one outbound product.

Watch out: No MCP, and $494/mo is a real floor, so this is not an SMB finder.

Not the right fit for

Small desks that need a $50 finder
Buyers who need MCP

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
