B2B data and web data API pricing (2026): 14 APIs for AI agents and GTM pipelines
Teams building their own AI SDR or enrichment pipeline buy data by the API call rather than by the seat. Two kinds of API matter: B2B people and company data (profiles, firmographics, job changes and hiring) and web data (search, crawl, scrape and research) that an agent uses to read websites. This page lists the entry plan of every API we track, whether it's billed per credit, per request or by usage, free tiers, and the full plan list from the vendor's own pricing page.
Summary: 7 of 14 tools publish a monthly entry price, from $16/mo (Firecrawl) to $249/mo (Reverse Contact); median $30/mo. 9 list a free plan. Prices verified against vendor pages, latest check .
How this page works: Sorted by lowest published monthly entry price within each table; ties alphabetical. Pay-as-you-go and usage-metered APIs are listed after, with their per-request or per-credit rates in the plan details. The entry price is the lowest price the vendor publishes (often with annual billing), "How it's charged" is read from the vendor's plan list, and each row links to the pricing page we checked. No placement here is paid. Methodology.

FAQ
How much do data APIs cost in 2026?
Across the 7 data APIs on this page with a published monthly entry price, the lowest plans run from $16/mo (Firecrawl) to $249/mo (Reverse Contact); the median entry price is $30/mo. 5 start under $50/mo and 1 at $100/mo or more. Entry prices are the lowest each vendor shows, often with annual billing; prices checked against vendor pages, latest Nov 13, 2026.
What is the cheapest data API?
By lowest published entry price: Firecrawl from $16/mo, Apify from $19/mo, Browserbase from $20/mo. Check what each entry plan includes in the table (users, accounts, emails or contacts), since the cheapest plan is often capped.
Which data APIs have a free plan?
Firecrawl, Apify, Browserbase, Tavily, Exa, Outscraper, Parallel, People Data Labs and Coresignal list a free plan on their pricing pages; limits apply. 4 of the 14 tools list a free trial.
How are data APIs priced?
Of the 14 tools on this page: 5 by credits, 2 per request, 1 per plan plus usage, 1 per plan plus browser hours, 1 by export credits, 1 per result, 1 per plan plus credits, 1 one-time credit packages, 1 one-time credit bundles. The 'How it's charged' column shows which applies to each tool, read from its pricing page.
How do I compare per-credit and per-request API prices?
Convert each plan into the cost of the unit you need: one enriched person, one company record or one web search. The plan details column quotes each vendor's own credit or request rate, and several vendors charge different credit amounts for different endpoints, so price your actual mix of calls.
Which data APIs have a free tier?
See the free-plan sentence above for the exact list. Several web search and scraping APIs include a monthly free allowance or free starting credits, which is enough to prototype an agent before choosing a paid plan.
Is web scraping allowed for prospect research?
It depends on the site's terms, the data and local law. Hosted scraper platforms put that responsibility on the user. For people data, a licensed B2B data API is the lower-risk option; check each vendor's terms and data sources before building on it.
