Not the right fit for
Worth keeping in mind: Push LinkedIn people into Salesforce, HubSpot, or Pipedrive without a CSV: sales-team contact sync, not a bulk finder.

$49/mo MCP API
Why it comes up: Cheaper LinkedIn finder if you do not need Surfe's CRM push.
Stands out: MCP on a lightweight browser finder, which is rare at this price.
Watch out: Single-source rather than a waterfall, and the integration list is thin.
Best for
$49.90/mo Free tier Free trial MCP API
Why it comes up: Chrome contact data if Surfe's CRM-sync story is unused.
Stands out: One-click emails and mobiles straight from the browser, plus a hosted MCP.
Watch out: It finds contacts but does not send, so a sequencer is still needed.
Best for
$185/mo Free tier 14 day free trial MCP API
Why it comes up: Enrichment waterfall if one LinkedIn-to-CRM pipe is not enough.
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.
Best for
$49/mo Free tier Free trial MCP API
Why it comes up: Name-to-email if you are not starting from LinkedIn.
Stands out: The default finder API, with MCP and a widely used free Chrome extension.
Watch out: Built around work email, so it is not a mobile-number product.
