What each one does differently

TrueUp

12%/hire

Why it comes up: Job-change tracking if you want another recruiter-facing signal product.

Stands out: Warm intros only after both sides confirm interest, at 12% instead of a classic 20-35% fee.

Watch out: Only companies already on TrueUp can apply, and they need a Trajectory Score of 60-plus or venture backing.

Best for

  • Listed tech companies hiring engineers and PMs
  • Startups that want intros without a 25% agency fee
  • Teams already on Ashby, Greenhouse, or Lever

Predictrasearch

€7.99/mo Free tier API

Why it comes up: OSINT lookup if you are investigating a person, not watching company events.

Stands out: A real free-forever plan plus a documented API, with HR listed as a use case beside fraud and journalism.

Watch out: Prices are in euros. This is an investigation tool, not a B2B email-and-phone prospecting database.

Best for

  • Investigators reversing email, phone, or username
  • HR teams vetting what a candidate exposes online
  • Fraud and KYC shops that need an API

Coresignal

$49/mo Free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: Workforce data API if you want raw people and jobs rather than packaged signals.

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

RocketReach

$33/mo Free tier MCP API

Why it comes up: Email and phone finder if outreach data is what you actually buy.

Stands out: Search by person rather than by profile URL, with a hosted MCP.

Watch out: Credit-based rather than unlimited, and phones sit on the higher tiers.

Best for

  • Recruiters who search for people, not just LinkedIn profiles
  • Desks that need phone numbers as well as email
  • Teams connecting Bullhorn or Salesforce
