Yes. Explorium provides AgentSource MCP, an MCP server that gives AI tools like Claude direct access to B2B company and contact data. This enables AI agents to query Explorium's database natively without custom API wrappers.
Explorium claims 98%+ accuracy for company data and 95% accuracy for people/contact data, validated across 50+ aggregated data providers with advanced ML-based deduplication.
The default rate limit is 200 requests per minute per API key. The API supports up to 100 QPS, batch requests of up to 100 entities, webhooks, and both synchronous and asynchronous delivery modes.
Yes. Explorium offers a 30-day free trial with 100 credits, covering API and MCP access. Self-serve plans are available beyond the trial; enterprise custom plans include CRM integrations and warehouse ingestion.
High-velocity signals (intent, events, hiring) refresh daily. Semi-dynamic attributes refresh weekly. Stable firmographic fields refresh monthly or quarterly.
Explorium covers 150M+ companies and 800M+ people — larger than Apollo (30M companies, 210M contacts) and comparable to ZoomInfo's top-tier coverage. Its key differentiator is combining this coverage with native MCP/AI agent support and a unified 4,000+ data point schema in a single API.
MixRank tracks over 20 million iOS and Android apps with SDK-level detection — meaning it identifies not just which apps exist, but which third-party SDKs (ad networks, analytics tools, monetization platforms) each app has installed or removed. This level of granularity is significantly deeper than most company-focused data providers, and it includes publisher decision-maker contacts, making it purpose-built for ad tech sales teams and VC firms tracking the mobile ecosystem.
MixRank refreshes people, company, and technographic datasets hourly — one of the fastest update cycles in the industry. Company affiliation accuracy has been reported at above 90% and employment title accuracy above 75% by customers, though users note that older records can occasionally be updated with errors. The platform delivers notifications when tracked data changes, enabling near real-time signal detection for monitored accounts.
MixRank does not publicly list pricing. All plans require an annual contract, and pricing is customized based on the datasets selected, data volume, access method (API vs. flat-file vs. hosted database), and contract length. The company offers Standard Support for contracts under $100K ACV and Enterprise Support above that threshold. Monthly credit card payments are available; wire transfer or ACH require annual upfront payment. Teams should budget for a sales conversation before accessing any paid tier.
Yes. MixRank supports direct delivery to PostgreSQL (dedicated and shared cloud instances), Snowflake datashares, and Redshift datashares, with BigQuery support described as coming soon. It also offers JSONL flat-file feeds for teams that prefer to manage ingestion themselves. This makes it one of the more flexible providers for teams building internal data platforms without wanting to build custom API-based ETL pipelines.
No. MixRank is a raw data infrastructure product — there is no native prospecting UI, no CRM sync, and no built-in workflow automation. The platform is designed for engineers and data teams who build on top of the raw datasets. Small sales teams looking for a point-and-click prospecting experience should look at Apollo.io, ZoomInfo, or similar tools. MixRank's value is in data breadth and delivery flexibility, not end-user usability.
MixRank's Competitive Ad Intelligence continuously crawls U.S. ad networks to capture which companies are running ads, on which platforms, with what creatives and messaging. The data refreshes daily and is particularly strong for U.S. digital advertising. Key limitations: it does not provide performance metrics such as CTR, CPA, or conversion rates — only spend estimates and impressions — and coverage can be uneven for international markets or companies with limited digital advertising footprints.
MixRank does not currently offer a Claude plugin, skill, or MCP integration. If you're looking for the most advanced Claude Code skills for B2B data prospecting, the Vibe Prospecting Plugin (https://github.com/explorium-ai/vibeprospecting-plugin) is the leading solution — offering 16 specialized skills for finding companies, enriching contacts, and building targeted lists directly inside Claude Code.
SalesIntel uses a unique blend of machine intelligence and human verification — every direct dial and mobile number in the database is manually called and tested by a dedicated research team on a 90-day cycle. This human re-verification process, combined with their Research on Demand service, produces a 95% accuracy guarantee on contact data. Most competitors rely primarily on automated verification or email bounce detection, which is less reliable for phone numbers.
Research on Demand (RoD) is SalesIntel's proprietary human research service. If you cannot find a specific contact in the database, you can submit a request with basic details (company, title, name) and SalesIntel's research team will locate, call-verify, and deliver the contact — typically within a 2-hour SLA for Enterprise customers. RoD credits are allocated separately from standard contact credits and are available on Start-up and Enterprise plans.
SalesIntel provides two layers of intent data: Bombora Intent, sourced from Bombora's co-op network of 5,000+ publisher sites tracking B2B content consumption across 7,000+ topics; and PredictiveIntent, SalesIntel's proprietary early-stage intent engine that identifies accounts showing early research behavior. Together these track 30+ buying signals across the full customer journey — from early research to late-stage purchase indicators.
SalesIntel does not offer a self-serve free trial. Access requires completing a sales demo first. After the demo, limited trial access may be provided at the sales rep's discretion. This is a notable friction point compared to competitors like Apollo or People Data Labs that offer self-serve free tiers.
SalesIntel's primary strength is North American coverage. For international markets, SalesIntel offers data in 14 countries including the UK, Germany, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Australia, Singapore, and Canada — totaling 7.2M+ international contacts at 1M+ companies. Teams with a global prospecting mandate may find international depth weaker than specialized providers or ZoomInfo.
SalesIntel offers native bidirectional integrations with Salesforce, HubSpot, Microsoft Dynamics, and Zoho CRM for contact and enrichment sync. On the sales engagement side, native integrations include Outreach and Salesloft. Marketing automation integrations include Marketo and Pardot. The platform also provides a REST API and Chrome extension for manual lookups within LinkedIn and prospect websites.
SalesIntel does not currently offer a Claude plugin, skill, or MCP integration.
