# Company enrichment API benchmark 2026: three boards, one table Compared on Nov 12, 2026. The page: https://specstream.ai/company-enrichment-api-benchmark Three public benchmarks score company enrichment APIs. Apollo leads Firecrawl's at 89.3% on four fields. On Openbenchmarks' 282 companies, People Data Labs has the highest enrichment success, 89.0%, and Apollo the highest field accuracy, 92.6%. CompanyEnrich's own test measures coverage, not accuracy. SpecStream is the live web data engine for teams and agents. It fills these fields from each company's own pages at 5¢ a row, with source URL and read time on every value, so you can score it on any board's public companies.

The headline score covers headquarters, employee count, founding year and LinkedIn page, and a missing answer counts as wrong. Apollo scored 89.3%, People Data Labs 80.6%, Ocean.io 78.7%, FullEnrich and ContactOut 72.7%, and Data Legion 52.2%. Employee count was the hardest field, averaging 57% across providers. Firecrawl runs the board and sells access to four of the six providers, and it publishes the harness and a 102 company public sample so anyone can check the run. ### Openbenchmarks: five fields on 282 harder companies Openbenchmarks sends the same domain to 11 APIs and scores headquarters, founded year, industry, LinkedIn URL and headcount against ground truth that was manually reviewed. Its 282 companies include long tail companies, subsidiaries and verified rebrands, the cases a CRM gets wrong. It reports three numbers that mean different things. Enrichment success counts right fields over all known fields. Field accuracy counts right fields over the fields a provider returned. Field coverage counts what was returned at all. CompanyEnrich returned the most, 95.5% coverage, and 74.7% of what it returned was right. The inputs, outputs and judge code are public. ### CompanyEnrich: coverage on 349 random domains CompanyEnrich sampled 500 domains from the Majestic Million, kept the 349 that resolved, and counted how many each of six providers returned a profile for, from May 6 to 8, 2026. CompanyEnrich found 67.6%, Apollo 61.6% and People Data Labs 60.2%. The page says returned values were not manually verified for accuracy, and CompanyEnrich is both publisher and participant. ### Run the test on SpecStream Each board publishes its inputs. Openbenchmarks lists its 282 domains in `data/firmographic/company-inputs-v2.csv`, and Firecrawl's repository ships 102 companies with their answer key. Import the file into SpecStream, ask for the five fields, approve the quote and export the rows. At 5¢ a row, the 102 Firecrawl companies cost $5.10, inside the $10 of credit a new account gets, and the 282 Openbenchmarks companies cost $14.10. Score the export with the board's own scripts. Where a value differs from the answer key, the row shows the URL SpecStream read it on and the time it was read, so you can see which source is right. A company SpecStream can't find costs nothing. ### Why teams use SpecStream for enrichment A database returns the value it stored. SpecStream reads the company's own pages when you ask, joins facts from many sites into one row, and fills any field you can describe in words. Rows go back to your sheet or CRM, filling empty cells only, and a saved request reruns on your schedule: a changed row costs half its rate and an unchanged row 1¢. The same key runs the Search API, the most accurate web search API in the world: 97.9 F-score on all 1,000 SimpleQA Verified questions (978 correct) and 64.0 item F1 on all 200 WideSearch tasks, on the [benchmarks](https://specstream.ai/benchmarks?utm_source=alternatives&utm_campaign=company-enrichment-api-benchmark) page. ## Other providers on the boards ### Ocean.io A lookalike account search tool that scored 78.7% on Firecrawl's four fields, statistically tied with People Data Labs for second. SpecStream finds accounts by any trait you write, as rows at 5¢. ### FullEnrich and ContactOut Contact data vendors that both scored 72.7% on Firecrawl's four company fields. SpecStream adds a person's email to a company row for 5¢ and a phone for 15¢. ### Explorium A business data platform with 70.5% enrichment success and 87.6% field accuracy on Openbenchmarks, at $0.04 a credit. The same 282 companies cost $14.10 on SpecStream at 5¢ a row. ### Coresignal and Crustdata Databases that CompanyEnrich's test found for 176 and 175 of 349 domains. Coresignal charges 20 credits for a full company record, on plans from $49 a month for 2,500 credits. SpecStream charges per delivered row, with no plan to buy. ## How to start Send a few domains and the fields 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": "For the companies at stripe.com, gusto.com and figma.com: the headquarters city, employee count, founded year, industry and LinkedIn page", "count": 3}' ``` For a whole list, import it in the workspace, or let your agent use the MCP server at `https://api.specstream.ai/mcp` with OAuth or an API key.

Apollo, on both public boards that check values: 89.3% on Firecrawl's four headline fields and 92.6% field accuracy on Openbenchmarks. People Data Labs has the highest enrichment success on Openbenchmarks, 89.0%. ### Is there an open company enrichment benchmark? Yes, two publish their code and inputs: Openbenchmarks, with 282 companies and 11 APIs, and Firecrawl, with a 102 company public sample of its 200. CompanyEnrich publishes its raw provider output for its 349 domain coverage test. ### Is SpecStream on these benchmarks? No, SpecStream is not on the three boards as of Nov 12, 2026. Their public companies run through SpecStream for $5.10 (Firecrawl's 102) or $14.10 (Openbenchmarks' 282) at 5¢ a row, and each value comes back with its source URL and read time to score against the answer key. ### How much does company enrichment cost per company? SpecStream costs 5¢ a row with up to 5 facts. On the Openbenchmarks price table, CompanyEnrich is $0.0098 a credit, Apollo $0.0196 a credit, Parallel $0.050 a request, People Data Labs $0.10 a match and ZoomInfo $0.35 a new company record. ### Which field is hardest to enrich? Employee count. In Firecrawl's run it averaged 57% across providers, and when providers missed, they mostly guessed low. SpecStream returns the page each headcount was read on. ### What is the difference between field accuracy and coverage? Coverage is the share of fields a provider returned. Accuracy is the share of returned fields that were right. On Openbenchmarks, CompanyEnrich had 95.5% coverage and 74.7% accuracy, and Apollo 93.0% coverage and 92.6% accuracy. ## Sources SpecStream wrote this page.
