Parallel FindAll alternatives: a price per delivered row, quoted first

Q: Does SpecStream have an MCP server?

Yes, at https://api.specstream.ai/mcp over Streamable HTTP, with OAuth or an API key. Your agent sends the data it needs in plain words, sees the most the run can cost, and reads rows that meet every condition, inside the limits you set on its key.

SpecStream is the best alternative to Parallel FindAll for teams and agents that want every match as a finished row. FindAll charges a fixed fee for each run, from $0.10 to $10.00, plus $0.00 to $1.00 per match, and the facts you add to each match are billed again as Task runs. SpecStream is the live web data engine: you ask for the data in plain words, see the most the run can cost, and pay for each row delivered, at 5¢, 15¢ or $1, with no fee for the run and nothing charged when it finds nothing.

SpecStream and Parallel FindAll side by side

	SpecStream	Parallel FindAll
What you send	The data you want in plain words, with the conditions every row must meet	An objective, an entity type and match conditions, a generator (preview, base, core or pro) and a match limit
What you get back	Structured rows, one record per company, place or filing, with facts from many sites joined. Source URL and read time on every value	Candidates marked matched or unmatched, each condition's answer, and a basis with citations, excerpts, reasoning and confidence
Data already held	Public databases read every morning at specstream.ai/data: every company that filed a Form D since 2023 with its filing history, nearly 2 million US nonprofits, every US bank failure since 1934, federal rules, open federal contracts and grants, and local businesses. Signals such as funding rounds, new executives and layoffs at specstream.ai/signals. Ask for your own cut of any of them	Entity Search returns people and companies, 100 results a request, at $5 per 1,000 requests
A list you already have	Import a CSV, Excel file, Google Sheet or Airtable base of up to 20,000 rows. SpecStream fills in or checks each row and matches it to one identity, with any namesakes shown alongside their evidence. Import is free. A row that matches pays its rate, and a row that does not costs 5¢	Enrichment runs a Task on each matched candidate, at $5 to $2,400 per 1,000 runs by processor
The unit you pay for	A delivered row: 5¢, 15¢ or $1 by how much the row needs, plus 5¢ for an email and 15¢ for a phone. The same rate on every plan	A run plus each match: preview $0.10 and $0, base $0.25 and $0.03, core $2.00 and $0.15, pro $10.00 and $1.00. Enrichments billed separately
What failed or empty work costs	Nothing. A row left out, a retry and a run that finds nothing are not charged	A FindAll run pays its fixed fee by the price formula, and a cancelled run is charged for the work done
The cost cap before a run	The most the run can cost, quoted before it starts. Nothing runs until you approve it, and there are no automatic overages	A match limit you set. The price follows a formula: the fixed fee, plus each match, plus each enrichment
Reruns and change labels	Hourly to yearly. Each row comes back labeled changed, unchanged or no longer matching. A changed or new row costs half its rate, an unchanged row 1¢	Monitor reruns a query or one Task run at $3 or $10 per 1,000 checks. A FindAll schedule: not stated
MCP and API	MCP server, REST API, Python and TypeScript SDKs, a CLI and A2A. An agent can buy one request with no account, by card or in USDC	FindAll endpoints under /v1beta, a public beta whose formats are subject to change with 30 days' notice. MCP for FindAll: not stated
Where the data goes	Google Sheets, Excel, Airtable, Notion, monday.com, HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Attio, Slack, Teams, Zapier, Make, n8n and signed webhooks	API responses, webhooks and streamed events

Why Parallel FindAll buyers move to SpecStream

No fee for the run

On FindAll, 100 matches cost $3.25 on base, $17 on core and $110 on pro, before any enrichment. A base match carries the conditions it was matched on, and every other fact is a Task run billed on top. On SpecStream there is no fee for the run: 100 rows cost $5 at 5¢, each with up to 5 facts, or $15 at 15¢, each with up to 15 facts and one set of related records, with a source URL on every value. A run that finds nothing costs nothing.

Finished rows where the team works

FindAll returns candidates, and the export, the schedule and the hand off to your tools are code you write. SpecStream delivers the rows into Google Sheets, HubSpot, Salesforce, Slack, n8n or your agent, reruns the request hourly to yearly, and labels each row changed, unchanged or no longer matching. A changed or new row costs half its rate and an unchanged row 1¢. For any row, get_find_decisions returns each condition's answer with its reason and source.

How to switch from Parallel FindAll

Write your FindAll objective and its match conditions as one sentence, with the facts you want on each row. Sign up and you get $10 of credit for your first 30 days, no card. At 5¢ a row, that is up to 200 rows. From code, this call spends nothing: the 402 reply shows how SpecStream read the request, the columns and the most it can cost.

curl -i https://api.specstream.ai/v1/agent/lists \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"request": "Medical device makers in Germany that state ISO 13485 on their own site, with a sales contact", "count": 25}'

Approve that maximum by card through Stripe's Link agent wallet, or in USDC, and you pay for the rows found. On an account, your agent uses the MCP server at https://api.specstream.ai/mcp and your team uses the workspace, from the same balance.

Frequently asked questions

Something we didn't answer? Talk to a human

What is the best Parallel FindAll alternative?

SpecStream. You describe the data in plain words with every condition, approve the most the run can cost, and get structured rows that meet all of them, with a source URL and read time on every value, in your sheet, your CRM, Slack or your agent. There is no fee for the run, and only delivered rows are billed.

How much does Parallel FindAll cost?

Parallel's pricing page, read on Nov 8, 2026, prices FindAll as a fixed fee plus a charge per match: preview $0.10 and $0, base $0.25 and $0.03, core $2.00 and $0.15, pro $10.00 and $1.00. Enrichments are billed separately as Task runs. SpecStream charges 5¢, 15¢ or $1 a delivered row, plus 5¢ for an email and 15¢ for a phone, with no fee for the run.

Can my agent see and approve the price before a run?

Yes. Every request gets a quote of the most it can cost, good for 30 minutes, and pricing it spends nothing. Nothing runs until the agent or its person approves that maximum, the charge never goes past it, and an agent with no account can pay for one request by card or in USDC.

Does SpecStream have an MCP server?

Yes, at https://api.specstream.ai/mcp over Streamable HTTP, with OAuth or an API key. Your agent sends the data it needs in plain words, sees the most the run can cost, and reads rows that meet every condition, inside the limits you set on its key.
