hireEZ : Sourcing plus outreach in one suite if you need sequences, not just search credits. From $494/mo
Coresignal : People and company data API if you want a dataset dump more than live search. From $49/mo

Why people look past Pearch

Packs auto-renew by default. Emails and phones cost 6 credits each on top of search.

What we noted

Trial credits expire after 1 month
Email and phone enrich add 6 credits each
Auto-renew is on by default

Not the right fit for

Recruiters who only want a Chrome extension UI
Buyers who want a flat monthly seat price

Worth keeping in mind: Hosted MCP at mcp.pearch.ai plus a REST search API that meters Fast vs Pro search.

What each one does differently

Juicebox

$99/mo Free tier Free trial MCP

Why it comes up: PeopleGPT-style sourcing if you want a recruiter UI more than a raw search API.

Stands out: Natural-language search plus a Chrome extension and 50+ ATS connectors.

Watch out: The Agents add-on costs extra on top of the seat price.

Best for

Sourcers who hate Boolean
Agencies on a few seats
Teams pushing shortlists into Greenhouse or Ashby

hireEZ

$494/mo 7 day free trial API

Why it comes up: Sourcing plus outreach in one suite if you need sequences, not just search credits.

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.

Best for

Outbound talent teams sourcing beyond LinkedIn
Desks that want sequences with the sourcer
Buyers who will start on a seven-day trial

4.7 on Capterra from 103 reviews

Coresignal

$49/mo Free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: People and company data API if you want a dataset dump more than live search.

Stands out: A real data API plus MCP at $49 Mini: this is enrichment infrastructure, not a Chrome overlay.

Watch out: Mini is 2,500 credits. Starter is $199 and Pro $499. Treating $49 as production volume will fail in week two.

Best for

Builders wiring company/employee/jobs data into agents
Clay and n8n shops
Sourcing teams that want APIs, not a UI database

People Data Labs

$98/mo Free tier API

Why it comes up: Person and company enrichment API with a published free tier if volume is the job.

Stands out: A free API sandbox, then self-serve Pro with contact data, premium fields and CSV enrichment on monthly or annual terms.

Watch out: Free hides email, phone and address. Annual saves 20% but is paid up front. Bulk data licenses are Enterprise and custom priced.

Best for

Developers enriching person records via API
Products that may later license a bulk feed
RevOps running CSV enrichment
