What it really isProxycurl — a credit-based REST API for enriched professional and company data.
Our takeProxycurl (by Nubela) is a developer-focused API platform delivering structured professional profiles, company intelligence, job listings, and contact data aggregated from public sources.
There is no permanent free tier; pricing is purely credit-based (pay-as-you-go from $10 or subscriptions from $49/mo). It's a credible mid-market alternative to enterprise-only data providers.
Why we rate itProxycurl gives builders a clean, well-documented API to enrich professional data without standing up scraping infrastructure.
GDPR/CCPA compliance and SOC 2 progress add credibility for B2B SaaS buyers; customers include IBM, HP, Reply.io, and Lusha.
The catchNo free tier—meaningful usage starts at $49/mo.
PAYG credits cost up to $0.10 each, and endpoint costs compound fast (e.g., Company Employee Search is 10 credits + 6 per employee returned).

Best / not good for

Best for
  • Developers building recruitment or talent-sourcing products
  • B2B sales teams enriching CRM leads at scale
  • Investment and research teams doing professional due diligence
Not good for
  • Non-technical users without API access (Sapiengraph Sheets add-on helps but has limits)
  • High-volume enrichment on a shoestring budget—per-credit costs add up fast
  • Real-time social or consumer data beyond professional-profile scope
Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

  1. Time to value
    Fast: REST API with clear docs; first successful call achievable in under an hour after purchasing PAYG credits.
  2. Scale breakpoint
    Subscription costs rise steeply past 25,000 credits/month; enterprise pricing above 211,000 credits/mo requires negotiation with no public rate card.
  3. Walled garden
    Moderate: JSON outputs are portable, but bulk LinkDB datasets and job-change monitoring features create dependency on ongoing subscription.
Still a fit?
If none of these block you, try it on the official site.
