BlitzAPI alternatives in 2026

Accounts by the trait your best customers share

BlitzAPI answers with the records its database holds, through the filters its endpoints take. A SpecStream request is the whole job, written once: "VPs of sales at US software companies with 50 to 500 employees that are hiring account executives, with the company, the open role and a work email for each".

SpecStream turns the request into the conditions every row must meet and the facts to bring back, which you can edit before it runs. Then it searches the live web, reads each page and joins what it finds into one record per company or person. A row that fails one condition is not delivered and not billed.

You pay for rows, with no monthly allowance

The rates are on pricing: 5¢, 15¢ or $1 a delivered row by how much the row needs, plus 5¢ for an email and 15¢ for a phone. Plans at $19, $99 and $499 a month turn their whole price into credit at the same rates.

There is no record count that resets each cycle and no pause at a limit. Duplicates, rows you already own and rows a page contradicts are not charged, and a run that finds nothing costs nothing.

Each email says where it came from

An email a page printed comes with the page it was read on. An email no page printed is built from the company's published pattern, labeled likely and billed as an email, so you know which is which before you send.

Every run has a maximum you approve

Every request gets a quote of the most it can cost, and pricing a request spends nothing. Nothing runs until you approve the quote, the charge never goes past it, and what the run does not use goes back to your balance. An API key carries its own limits: total, per run and monthly.

Agents connect to https://api.specstream.ai/mcp with OAuth or an API key, and your team uses the workspace, from one balance.

Rows that stay up to date

Save the request and it reruns hourly to yearly. Each row comes back labeled changed, unchanged or no longer matching. A changed or new row costs half its rate and an unchanged row 1¢, and new matches arrive in Slack, email, a sheet, a CRM or a signed webhook. US funding rounds, layoffs and new executives are on signals.

The most accurate web search API, on the same account

The same key runs the Search API. On SimpleQA Verified it scores 97.9 F-score on all 1,000 official questions, 978 of them correct. On WideSearch it scores 64.0 item F1 and 43.4 row F1 on all 200 official tasks. The Extract API scores 0.908 F1 on WCXB. The scores and method are on benchmarks.

The Search API costs $5 per 1,000 searches of up to 10 results, and $1 per 1,000 on the fast tier. The Extract API reads pages at $0.80 per 1,000, and a page with no text is not charged.

SpecStream

The live web data engine for teams and agents. One request in plain words, through the API, MCP or the workspace, returns every company or person that meets your conditions as a row, at 5¢, 15¢ or $1 a delivered row, plus 5¢ for an email and 15¢ for a phone. New accounts get $10 of credit, no card.

Crustdata

A B2B data API billed in credits: 0.03 a search result, 1 to 9 a person and from 2 a company, with $20 in free credits and credits that last 12 months. SpecStream prices the row, not the call, and shows the most a run can cost before it starts.

People Data Labs

A person data API whose Pro plan starts at $98 a month for 350 credits, with a free plan of up to 100 credits a month that hides emails, phones and addresses. On SpecStream an email costs 5¢ on every plan, including the $10 of credit you start with. See People Data Labs alternatives.

Coresignal

Company, employee and job records sold by the credit, from $49 a month, with 20 credits for a full employee record. SpecStream has no monthly allowance to size: each delivered row costs 5¢, 15¢ or $1. See Coresignal alternatives.
