Describe it, and every account that has it reaches your CRM with its buying committee and a link to where the trait shows. The trait can be the tools a company runs, the roles it hires for or the markets it entered. SpecStream reads the request back as parts you can edit before anything runs, then checks each account against each condition on the live web. An account that fails one is not delivered and not billed. ### The committee and its contacts come on the row 1,000 accounts with the buying committee cost $150 on SpecStream, plus 5¢ for each email and 15¢ for each phone. Seamless.AI's credits come with a per-user annual contract, and Toolradar reports Pro at $99 per user a month. Each email says whether a page printed it, and a likely one is labeled. Source URL and read time on every value. ### The price is set before the run Every request gets a quote of the most it can cost, good for 30 minutes. Nothing runs until you approve it, the charge never goes past that amount, and whatever the run does not use goes back to your balance. Seamless.AI's terms say all sales are final, and a contract not cancelled 60 days ahead renews for 12 more months. ### Signals that say who to call this week SpecStream reads public databases every morning. In the week of November 2, 2026, 494 operating companies filed a Form D reporting $29.51 billion sold, and each one is a row on [specstream.ai/data/form-d](https://specstream.ai/data/form-d?utm_source=alternatives&utm_campaign=seamless-ai). Funding rounds, new executives and layoffs are at [specstream.ai/signals](https://specstream.ai/signals?utm_source=alternatives&utm_campaign=seamless-ai). Ask for your own cut of any of them. The same account runs the Search API, the most accurate web search API in the world: 97.9 F-score on all 1,000 official SimpleQA Verified questions (978 correct), and 64.0 item F1 and 43.4 row F1 on all 200 official WideSearch tasks. The scores and method are on [benchmarks](https://specstream.ai/benchmarks?utm_source=alternatives&utm_campaign=seamless-ai). ### The accounts stay up to date in your CRM 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 costs 1¢. New matches and changes land in HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Attio, Sheets, Slack or Teams with no code, or in your agent through the MCP server. Rows you already own are never charged again. ## Other Seamless.AI alternatives ### SpecStream The live web data engine for teams and agents. One request in plain words returns the accounts that meet every condition, with the buying committee, at 5¢, 15¢ or $1 a delivered row, plus 5¢ for an email and 15¢ for a phone, under a maximum you approve before the run. The Search API costs $5 per 1,000 searches and the Extract API $0.80 per 1,000 pages. ### Apollo A sales platform billed in credits. One click exports up to 10,000 leads, and credits reset at the start of each billing cycle with no rollover. A SpecStream top-up never expires, and a row costs the same on every plan. ### Lusha A contact database sold in credits. The Free plan gives 40 credits a month, an email takes 1 credit and a phone number takes 5. On SpecStream an email adds 5¢ to a row and a phone adds 15¢, on every plan. ### ZoomInfo A go-to-market platform priced by licenses and credit usage, with credits priced by the depth of information you need and one tier showing 75K included credits. On SpecStream, 1,000 accounts with the buying committee cost $150, and you see the price before the run. ### Cognism Sold on credits, where 1 credit is 1 revealed contact and viewing a contact already revealed costs nothing. Its pricing page sends you to a Cognism expert for a price. SpecStream's rates are on its pricing page, and sign-up comes with $10 of credit. ## How SpecStream scores The same numbers as the benchmarks page, from the official tasks and scorers.

Sign up and you get $10 of credit, no card. At 5¢ a row, that is up to 200 rows. Or send the request 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": "Commercial roofing contractors in Texas with more than 50 employees, with the owner, the head of operations and a direct phone for each", "count": 25}' ``` Approve that maximum by card through Stripe's Link agent wallet, or in USDC on Base, Arbitrum or Polygon, 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.
