Bottom line
B2B contact database with a 100-credit free plan. Paid Usage starts at $49/mo for 5,000 credits.
Stands out for: Lookalike search, semantic search and personality analysis are on every plan, including Free, plus a hosted MCP server and REST API.

Overview
AI Ark is a B2B data platform sold on credits. Free is $0 forever with 100 credits a month, 25-record selections and no card. The Usage plan is $49 a month for 5,000 credits, unlimited filter results and 10,000-record selections. Unused credits roll over up to twice the monthly allowance. Annual billing saves 20 percent and grants the year of credits on day one. Agency and Enterprise plans are custom, with white-label, multi-user access and a dedicated manager.
Teams pick AI Ark when they want a credit-based database with AI search included on every plan. The Usage plan is $49 a month for 5,000 credits. Emails are verified at export. Lists go to HubSpot, Salesforce and Pipedrive by CSV or API. For technical teams, AI Ark offers a REST API and a hosted MCP server for Cursor, Claude and Windsurf. The free plan never converts to paid on its own.
