Where they pull apart

Lead411

Stands out: Intent signals sitting alongside the dials, at a price that undercuts the enterprise data vendors.

Watch out: No MCP, and intent data is only as useful as the market you sell into.

Not the right fit for

  • LinkedIn-only browser users
  • Teams that 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.

  • Desks that only want a cheap browser finder
