On SpecStream a row that fails one of your conditions is not delivered and not billed, so the rows you pay for are the rows that meet the request. Before anything runs, SpecStream reads the request back as parts you can edit: the conditions every row must meet and the facts to bring back. For any row, `get_find_decisions` returns each condition's answer with its reason, the value, the source and the time it was read. ### Read from the live web for each request Landbase searches the database it holds, and Clay calls the providers you chain. SpecStream searches the live web for each request, reads each page and joins what it finds into one row per account, with the buying committee. A trait that only shows on a company's own site, a job post or a press release counts as a condition like any other. ### No monthly minimum Landbase's first paid plan is $499 a month, and Clay's Launch is $185. On SpecStream you start with $10 of credit and no card, then pay 5¢, 15¢ or $1 a delivered row, plus 5¢ for an email and 15¢ for a phone. 1,000 accounts with the committee cost $150, plus 5¢ for each email, and every request gets a quote of the most it can cost before it runs. ### Bring the list you already have from Landbase or Clay Export the list from Landbase or Clay as a CSV and import up to 20,000 rows. Import is free. SpecStream matches each row to one identity, with any namesakes shown beside their evidence, and fills in or checks it. A row that matches pays its rate, and a row that does not costs 5¢. A saved request then reruns hourly to yearly, and new matches land in your CRM with no code. Rates are on [pricing](https://specstream.ai/pricing?utm_source=alternatives&utm_campaign=landbase-vs-clay). ## Other Landbase and Clay alternatives ### SpecStream The live web data engine for teams and agents. One request in plain words returns every account that meets your conditions as a structured row, at 5¢, 15¢ or $1 a delivered row plus 5¢ for an email and 15¢ for a phone, under a maximum you approve. The rows land in your CRM and rerun on your schedule. ### ZoomInfo A company and contact database of 500M contacts and 100M companies by its own count, sold by contract. Vendr reports a median buyer pays $33,500 a year, and the AWS Marketplace listing sells 1 user with 2,000 bulk credits for $3,000 for 12 months. SpecStream prints its price per row and needs no contract. ### Apollo A sales database of 240M contacts and 30M companies with sequences and a dialer. Apollo's own comparison lists Basic at $49 a user a month billed yearly with 30,000 credits a year, and unused credits expire each billing cycle. SpecStream bills per delivered row, with no seats, from credit that never expires. ## Test SpecStream against your Landbase or Clay list Take one list you bought from Landbase or built in Clay last month and write the accounts you wanted in plain words. Send it 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": "Third party logistics companies in the US with 50 to 1,000 employees that opened a new warehouse this year, with the VP of Operations and a work email", "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. Or sign up for $10 of credit, no card, and run the same request in the workspace or from your agent over the MCP server at `https://api.specstream.ai/mcp`. Then set the rows beside your old list: count the accounts that meet every condition, and open the source of any value. ## Frequently asked questions ### How much does Landbase cost?
