Bottom line
A developer-first B2B data API: search 693M people and 63M companies, enrich a LinkedIn URL or email into a full record with verified work emails and phones, and run it all from Claude or ChatGPT through a hosted MCP server. No credits, paid plans from $97/mo set your speed, and the free tier gives 1,000 records once.
Stands out for: The pricing model: instead of buying credits per contact, you pay for a pace, and reaching it slows requests rather than cutting you off, so a Solo plan can enrich up to 50,000 people a week for $97. Phone numbers and CSV export are included on every paid plan, and the MCP server signs in with your account instead of a pasted key.
Watch out for: It is an API and agent tool set, not an app with a search screen, sequences or a Chrome extension, so non-technical recruiters will need Claude, ChatGPT, Clay or a workflow tool in front of it. The 1,000 free records are one-off, signup needs a work email, and the company is young with no outside reviews yet.
Overview
LeadOcean sells B2B people and company data as an API and a set of agent tools. It unifies 20+ licensed and proprietary sources into one schema covering 693M people profiles and 63M companies, with 366M people holding an email address and 166M a phone number. Each response names the dataset that answered, and fields it does not know come back empty rather than guessed.
Search takes 50 people filters and 34 company filters, from title, seniority and skills to headcount, revenue, funding, technology and email status, with cursor paging. Enrichment turns a LinkedIn URL or email into a full record with role, firmographics, skills, education and every verified work email and phone on file, with a deliverability status on each email. The same functions are exposed as 12 tools on a hosted MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code, Codex and Gemini CLI, and through Clay, Zapier, Make and n8n.
Pricing has no credits. Free gives 1,000 records once with the full feature set. Solo at $97/mo allows 10,000 enrichments every 5 hours and 50,000 a week, Agency at $497/mo allows 1M enrichments a day with client usage rights, and Platform at $1,997/mo adds a resell and embed licence. Reaching a plan's pace slows requests until the window resets, and every plan can be cancelled any time.

Pricing
| Plan | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 1,000 records once, 5 requests a second |
| Solo | $97/mo | 10k enrichments every 5 hours, phones and CSV export |
| Agency | $497/mo | 1M enrichments a day, 5 keys, client use |
| Platform | $1,997/mo | Resell and embed licence, 20 keys |
LeadOcean prices by pace, not credits: every plan reaches the whole database and every feature, and the price sets speed and headroom. Free costs nothing and gives 1,000 records once (not monthly), 5 requests a second and one key; it needs a work email. Solo is $97/mo for one person, with 10,000 enrichments every 5 hours (50,000 a week), 100,000 search records every 5 hours, phone numbers and bulk CSV export. Agency is $497/mo with 1M enrichments a day, 25M search records a month, 5 keys and rights to use the data for clients. Platform is $1,997/mo with a resell and embed licence. A record is each person or company returned, so a search page of 25 counts 25; empty enrichments cost nothing, and hitting the pace slows requests rather than stopping them. Cancel any time.
