## Why job data buyers choose SpecStream

### The roles you track, not a 100K record file

Bright Data's smallest order for its Indeed job listings dataset is the 100K record tier at $250. Most teams that buy job data track a few hundred companies or a few roles: the accounts hiring for a team they sell to, or the competitors opening a site. On SpecStream you write that as the request, for example "companies in Texas hiring warehouse associates, with the job title, the posting URL, the city, the pay range and the date posted". SpecStream reads it back as conditions you can edit, finds every match on the live web and returns one row per open role. A role that fails a condition is left out and not billed. 300 open roles with up to 5 facts each cost $15.

### New and changed roles, as often as every hour

Bright Data refreshes the Indeed dataset monthly, delivers on a schedule you create, and its Smart data updates send only New Records or Updated Records. A saved SpecStream request reruns hourly to yearly. Each row comes back labeled changed, unchanged or no longer matching, so a filled role shows as no longer matching and does not stay in your file. A changed or new row costs half its rate (3¢, 8¢ or 50¢), and an unchanged row costs 1¢. Read how [schedules](https://specstream.ai/docs/schedules?utm_source=alternatives&utm_campaign=indeed-jobs-dataset) work.

### The company joined to the role

A job record holds what the posting says. A SpecStream row can also carry facts from the company's own pages, such as its size, its website or the product it sells, joined into the same record. Each value has the URL of the page it was read on and the time it was read.

### In the tool your team uses

Bright Data delivers files to Snowflake, Amazon S3, Google Cloud, Azure or SFTP. SpecStream sends new matches to Slack, Teams, email, Google Sheets, HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Attio or a signed webhook, and to your agent through the MCP server at `https://api.specstream.ai/mcp`.

### A price before the run

SpecStream quotes the most a run can cost before it starts, and nothing runs until you approve it. Duplicates and rows you already own are not charged, a run that finds nothing costs nothing, and whatever a run does not use goes back to your balance.

## Other Indeed job data sources

### SpecStream

The live web data engine. Deep Search returns the open roles you describe as rows at 5¢, 15¢ or $1 a row, reruns them hourly to yearly with every change labeled, and delivers them to your sheet, CRM, Slack or agent. Source URL and read time on every value.

### Bright Data Indeed Scraper API

Bright Data's scraper for Indeed pages, at $1.50 per 1,000 records pay as you go, billed for successful records only. Every new account gets 5,000 free credits a month, which Bright Data values at about $7.50. SpecStream bills a row only when it meets every condition in your request.

### Bright Data Indeed companies dataset

A second Indeed dataset in the same store: 4.2M company records with name, description, website, industry and company size, at the same price per record and the same $250 minimum. On SpecStream the company facts join the role in one row, from the company's own pages.

### Apify Indeed Jobs Scraper

A community Actor in the Apify Store that collects public Indeed listings by keyword and country, at $1.00 per 1,000 jobs on the free plan and from $0.75 on higher plans. Fresh roles come from running it again yourself. A saved SpecStream request reruns on its own and labels every row changed, unchanged or no longer matching.

### Coresignal job postings dataset

A dataset of 486M+ job postings from 15+ web sources, updated daily, weekly or monthly, starting from $1,000. It returns the fields its database keeps. SpecStream returns any field you name, read from the live web.

## How to start

Write the roles you track in plain words, in place of the dataset you would order or the scraper you run. Sign up and you get $10 of credit, no card. At 5¢ a row, that is up to 200 roles.

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": "Companies in Texas hiring warehouse associates, with the job title, the posting URL, the city, the pay range and the date posted, posted in the last 7 days", "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. Save the request to rerun it on a [schedule](https://specstream.ai/docs/schedules?utm_source=alternatives&utm_campaign=indeed-jobs-dataset).

## Frequently asked questions

### How much does an Indeed jobs dataset cost?

Bright Data sells its Indeed job listings dataset at up to $0.0025 a record, with a $250 minimum order for the 100K record tier. Apify's Indeed Jobs Scraper costs $0.75 to $1.00 per 1,000 jobs, and Coresignal's datasets start at $1,000. SpecStream costs 5¢, 15¢ or $1 a delivered row, with $10 of credit on sign-up and no minimum order.

### Can I get only new Indeed job postings?

Yes. Bright Data's Smart data updates send only New Records or Updated Records on a delivery schedule you create, and the dataset is refreshed monthly. A saved SpecStream request reruns as often as every hour and labels each row changed, unchanged or no longer matching. A new or changed row costs half its rate, and an unchanged row costs 1¢.

### How many records does Bright Data's Indeed dataset hold?

Bright Data lists 50.5M records for its Indeed job listings dataset and 4.2M for Indeed companies, delivered as JSON, NDJSON, JSON Lines, CSV or Parquet. A SpecStream request returns only the roles that meet your conditions, so 300 open roles with up to 5 facts each cost $15.

### How much does a Bright Data refresh plan save?

25% on a biannual plan, 50% on a quarterly plan and 80% on a monthly plan. A SpecStream rerun costs half the row rate for a new or changed row and 1¢ for an unchanged row, as often as every hour.

### What is the best alternative to an Indeed jobs dataset?

SpecStream. You describe the roles you track in plain words, approve the most the run can cost, and get one row per open role that meets every condition, in your sheet, your CRM, Slack or your agent. It reruns as often as every hour, and only delivered rows are billed.

### Does SpecStream have an API and an MCP server?

Yes. The MCP server is at `https://api.specstream.ai/mcp` over Streamable HTTP, with OAuth or an API key, and the REST API, Python and TypeScript SDKs and CLI use the same balance. A request sent to `/v1/agent/lists` returns the most it can cost before anything runs.
