Data Enrichment API Pricing: How Credits Work

Frequently asked questions

What is a data enrichment API?

A data enrichment API accepts an identifier you already hold, such as an email, domain, or profile URL, and returns the complete, current record behind it: title, company, headcount, funding, tech stack, and more. Crustdata’s enriches people with 90+ datapoints and companies with 250+, pulled from 15+ verified sources and refreshed in real time on request.

What is an example of data enrichment?

Your CRM has a contact with just a name and email. One enrichment call returns their current title, employer, seniority, and location, plus the employer’s headcount, funding stage, and tech stack. The empty row becomes a scored, routable lead without anyone opening a browser tab.

What is the best data enrichment API?

It depends on what breaks your workflow when data is wrong. For the largest cached file, PDL. For European contact coverage, Cognism. For records that must be true at the moment you act, Crustdata re-fetches in real time and shows the last_updated timestamp to prove it.

How much does a data enrichment API cost?

Crustdata prices in credits from one shared balance, with a fixed per-endpoint cost per matched record; the pricing section above has the details. Across the market, expect per-record pricing to vary with data type and freshness, with real-time lookups priced above cached database hits.

Real-time vs database enrichment: what’s the difference?

Database enrichment serves a record the vendor collected earlier, so it is cheap but can be months stale. Real-time enrichment fetches the record when you ask, so job changes and funding rounds appear immediately. Crustdata offers both and marks every response with a last_updated timestamp.

What inputs can I enrich from?

Business email, personal email, company domain, profile URL, or a name plus company. Entity resolution maps whichever input you send to one clean person or company record, so mixed-quality lists still come back deduplicated and consistent. Batches accept the same input types as single calls.

Can I enrich records in bulk?

Yes. Bulk enrichment runs via flat files, CSV uploads, and API batches, which is also the most credit-efficient way to process large datasets. A common pattern is a broad batch refresh of the whole database, with real-time calls reserved for records about to be acted on.

Can I update my CRM automatically with enriched data?

Yes. Call the enrichment API on stale records, merge the returned fields using mapped identifiers, and schedule it as a batch job. For changes that should not wait for a schedule, webhook watchers push job changes and funding events to your endpoint as they happen.

How does Crustdata compare to others?

Experience realtime B2B data enrichment in action

Choosing between vendors comes down to what happens after the match. If you need the largest static file, PDL’s cached database is bigger on raw people count. If you need the record to be true at send time, with a real-time re-fetch, webhook triggers, and post and job data on the same call, that is what this API is built for.
