One API and one MCP server over 40+ data providers and 700+ endpoints. Search companies and people, find and verify emails and phones, pull tech stacks, job postings and buying signals, plus SEO and SERP data, the Meta, Google, LinkedIn and X ad libraries, local business data and community search. One key, one bill, one response format. ### Is this only for outbound? No. The same key answers an SEO question, an ad research question and a market research question. Ranked keywords, backlinks and SERP data sit next to the ad libraries, Reddit search, local business data and creator discovery. The router does not care which job you are doing, it cares which source answers best. ### How does a price per call compare to a subscription? A seat costs the same every month whether you run one query or ten thousand. A call is priced before it runs, in credits, and shows up on one bill: 2.31 credits for each keyword a domain ranks for, 0.13 credits to read the technologies on a domain, 3.5 credits for a work email. If the answer comes back empty, it costs nothing. Six entry-level tool subscriptions run $828.99 a month at list price whether you open them or not. ### How is this different from subscribing to providers directly? A single provider wins in one segment and loses in another. ColdIQ benchmarks them on live data and routes each call to the measured winner, with waterfall fallback built in. You skip the per-seat plans, the key management, and the normalization work. ### What does it cost? Credits, spent per call, priced before the call. A call that returns zero results costs zero credits. You start with 300 free credits, no credit card required, and one-time credits never expire. After that you top up a credit balance and spend it per call. ### Does it fit my stack? REST API with a full OpenAPI spec, callable from any language. MCP server for Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. Or type what you need in plain English from the terminal. JSON comes back ready for your CRM, your sequencer, or your Clay table. ### Which providers are behind the API? Apollo, People Data Labs, Prospeo, Findymail, FullEnrich, BuiltWith, TheirStack, DataForSEO, Exa and 32+ more, across email, phone, company, signals, SEO, ads, social and outreach. Provider keys and billing stay on ColdIQ's side: you never sign up with any of them. ### Do credits expire? One-time credits never expire. ### Is there a seat or a per-user price? No. There is no per-user licence and no minimum. You buy credits and call the API: the price of a call shows before it runs, a call that returns nothing costs nothing, and a colleague calling the same key changes nothing on the invoice. ### Can I still pick a specific provider? Yes. Every provider endpoint stays callable directly, like apollo/people/search. The router is the default, not a lock-in. ## Try ColdIQ free ColdIQ gives new accounts up to 1,450 free credits at signup.
