Questions about this capability

What does a verified search people result cost?

Apollo is the lowest at $0.0024 per verified result once misses and wrong answers are counted. Its list price is $0.002 per row.

Which search people API is the most accurate?

Crustdata, at 92.0% across 18K calls in the last 30 days. Accuracy here is the share of returned people who matched every filter on a manual check.

Which search people API is fastest?

People Data Labs answers in 700 ms at the median and 2.1 s at p95.

What counts as a hit for search people?

A query that returned at least one matching person. Fill rate is the share of calls that produced a hit. Per-hit endpoints bill only hits, and failed calls are never billed.

Can I use my own provider key?

Yes for Apollo, People Data Labs, Coresignal, Prospeo, and Crustdata. Calls on your own key are routed and scored like any other, and never metered.
