Captain Data

Extracts data, automates workflows, and integrates cloud services efficiently.

Our take: Captain Data rebuilt from scratch in late 2025, pivoting away from its no-code workflow automation roots (sunset Dec 31 2025) into a pure API-first data infrastructure layer.

What it really isCaptain Data — API-first B2B people & company data enrichment platform.
Our takeCaptain Data rebuilt from scratch in late 2025, pivoting away from its no-code workflow automation roots (sunset Dec 31 2025) into a pure API-first data infrastructure layer.
It exposes 500M+ people and company profiles for real-time search and enrichment, targeting AI product builders and B2B SaaS platforms — not just sales teams. Pricing is strictly usage/credit-based, with only 100 free trial credits; meaningful production volumes start around €600/mo.
Why we rate itOne of the few API-first data infrastructure providers with a live 500M+ profile database, 99% uptime SLA, and same-day integration claims.
Solid choice for product teams building lead-gen, enrichment, or GTM tooling on top of real-time data.
The catchSteep entry cost (~€600/mo for minimal meaningful usage) and fully developer-facing — no no-code UI since the 2025 pivot.
Not suitable for sales teams wanting plug-and-play prospecting.

Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

  1. Time to value
    Moderate: API integration is documented and claims hours-to-live, but requires developer setup; no UI onboarding for non-technical users.
  2. Scale breakpoint
    Credit costs compound quickly at high enrichment volumes; custom negotiation needed above Scale tier.
  3. Walled garden
    Moderate: data delivered via API so portability is high, but enrichment quality and freshness depend entirely on Captain Data's proprietary database.
Still a fit?
If none of these block you, try it on the official site.
