Most teams that buy company data want a few hundred accounts with a trait no filter lists. On SpecStream you write that as the request, for example "software companies in Germany with 50 to 500 employees, with the company name, website, headquarters city, employee count and the product they sell". SpecStream reads it back as conditions you can edit, finds every match on the live web and returns one row per company. A company that fails a condition is left out and not billed. ### A custom dataset in one request When the store does not hold what you need, Bright Data sends you to a Custom Dataset (CDS) request, and its datasets page starts at up to $0.0025 a record with a $250 minimum order. Its Dataset Filter API has no $250 minimum and charges for the records that match. On SpecStream the custom dataset is the request itself: you name the conditions and the facts, see the most the run can cost before it starts, and pay 5¢ a row for up to 5 facts, 15¢ for up to 15 and $1 beyond. 500 companies with up to 5 facts each cost $25. ### New and changed companies, as often as every hour Bright Data refreshes the LinkedIn company dataset monthly, delivers it daily, weekly, monthly or on a custom schedule, 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 company that drops out of your conditions shows as no longer matching rather than staying 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=linkedin-company-dataset) work. ### Facts past the company page A LinkedIn company record holds what the page shows: name, locations, followers, employees on LinkedIn, about and specialties. A SpecStream row can carry any fact you name, such as the product a company sells, the tools it runs or the roles it hires for, read from its own site and the other pages that state it and joined into one 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, and a snapshot can be downloaded for 14 days. 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. See every rate on the [pricing](https://specstream.ai/pricing?utm_source=alternatives&utm_campaign=linkedin-company-dataset) page. ## Other LinkedIn company data sources ### SpecStream The live web data engine. Deep Search returns the companies 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 LinkedIn Company Scraper API Bright Data's scraper for LinkedIn company pages takes up to 5,000 URLs a call and bills successful records at $1.50 per 1,000, or $499 a month with 384,000 records included. Every new account gets 5,000 free credits a month. You bring the company URLs. SpecStream finds the companies from your description and bills a row only when it meets every condition. ### Apify Bulk LinkedIn Company Scraper An Actor in the Apify Store that scrapes public LinkedIn company pages from a company list or a keyword search, from $1.05 per 1,000 companies. It returns what the pages show on the day it runs. A saved SpecStream request reruns on its own and labels every row changed, unchanged or no longer matching. ### Coresignal Company API A company database API with 72M+ company records, on credit plans from $49 a month for 2,500 credits, where a full company record takes 20 credits. A trial carries 2,000 free credits. It returns the fields its database keeps. SpecStream returns any field you name, read from the live web. ## How to start Write the companies you need in plain words, in place of the dataset you would order or the company URLs you scrape. Sign up and you get $10 of credit, no card. At 5¢ a row, that is up to 200 companies. 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": "Software companies in Germany with 50 to 500 employees, with the company name, website, headquarters city, employee count and the product they sell", "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=linkedin-company-dataset). ## Frequently asked questions ### How much does a LinkedIn company dataset cost?
