Where they pull apart

Kaspr

Stands out: A free plan plus a European data posture, which most US finders cannot offer.

Watch out: No MCP, and coverage is strongest in Europe rather than the US.

Not the right fit for

  • US desks that need multi-source waterfall coverage
  • Buyers who need MCP

Swordfish

Stands out: Flat-fee contact data for desks that are tired of counting credits.

Watch out: Unlimited is fair-use, and ATS integrations sit on the higher tiers.

Not the right fit for

  • Buyers who need ATS integration on the cheapest plan
  • Desks that only want a cheap browser finder
