It is an API and agent tool set, not an app with a search screen, sequences or a Chrome extension, so non-technical recruiters will need Claude, ChatGPT, Clay or a workflow tool in front of it. The 1,000 free records are one-off, signup needs a work email, and the company is young with no outside reviews yet.
What we noted
Not the right fit for
Worth keeping in mind: The pricing model: instead of buying credits per contact, you pay for a pace, and reaching it slows requests rather than cutting you off, so a Solo plan can enrich up to 50,000 people a week for $97. Phone numbers and CSV export are included on every paid plan, and the MCP server signs in with your account instead of a pasted key.

$39/mo MCP API
Why it comes up: Another people and company data API with an MCP server, priced by credits from $39/mo, if you only need modest volumes.
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
$49/mo Free tier Free trial MCP API
Why it comes up: Contact database with a full search app, Chrome extension and built-in sequences, for teams that want an interface rather than an API.
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
$185/mo Free tier 14 day free trial MCP API
Why it comes up: Data workbench that pulls from many providers with AI research per row, where LeadOcean is one source you could feed into it.
Stands out: 150+ provider waterfall plus Claygent on every row, with MCP and API.
Watch out: Not a sender. Paid plans start at $185/mo on Launch, CRM sync needs Growth from $495/mo, and credit burn adds up.
