LoneScale vs SplendUp

Same facts, side by side: starting price, free tier, MCP, API and what each one is actually built for.

Starting price

LoneScale

$160/mo

LoneScale sells job-change and buying-signal data with unlimited seats. Starter is $160/month billed annually ($200 monthly) for 2,000 credits. Growth is $800 annual ($1,000 monthly) for 20,000 credits.

Where LoneScale fits

  • RevOps teams that hate per-seat data tools
  • Salesforce or HubSpot orgs that want job-change alerts in CRM
  • GTM engineers who will call the API, CLI, or MCP
  • Teams that will buy Growth for hiring-intent job posts

SplendUp

$125/seat/mo 14 day free trial

SplendUp is a Paris based business development tool for recruiting and staffing firms that matches the candidates sitting in your ATS to companies hiring for similar roles, finds the decision makers and runs MPC outreach. It suits agency owners and billers who want to win new clients off the back of candidates they already have. There is a free two week trial, then Core at $140/seat/mo or $125/seat/mo billed yearly, with custom outcome based pricing.

Where SplendUp fits

  • Agencies with large databases of candidates they never placed
  • Billers who market MPCs to win new clients
  • Small recruiting firms that want BD and contact data in one tool
  • Firms open to paying on results instead of per seat

Where they pull apart

LoneScale

Stands out: Every plan includes unlimited users, waterfall enrichment across 30+ sources, and API, CLI, and MCP access, with native Salesforce and HubSpot push.

Watch out: Signup credits (100) are a test allotment, not a timed product trial. Job-posting hiring-intent signals start on Growth, not Starter. Mobile phones consume credits much faster than emails (about 220 mobiles per 2,000 credits).

Not the right fit for

  • Solo users who only need a $49 email finder
  • Buyers who want a classic 14-day software trial

SplendUp

Stands out: It starts from your unplaced candidates rather than a lead list: AI matches them to live and past jobs, then builds anonymised CVs and a pitch to the right hiring manager. The Splendid plan can be priced on leads or placements generated instead of seats.

Watch out: The job board data leans toward Europe (InfoJobs sits next to Indeed and Glassdoor) and the company is small with its About page still marked coming soon. Core includes only 200 verified phone numbers, and there are no outside reviews yet.

Not the right fit for

  • In-house talent teams with no BD function
  • Teams that need heavy phone data on the base plan
