	Apollo	Nyne.ai
Pros	+ Massive dataset (210M+ contacts, 30M+ companies) with structured JSON responses — agents get rich firmographic and demographic data in a single call + People Search endpoint does not consume credits, so agents can search and filter freely before committing credits to enrichment + Simple API Key auth via x-api-key header and straightforward REST endpoints make integration trivial for any agent framework	+ Extremely broad data coverage across 250M+ websites including niche sources (Strava, SoundCloud, GitHub, forums, government records) — agents get a unified person profile from scattered digital footprints + Multiple input types accepted (email, phone, LinkedIn URL, name) with confidence scoring and timestamps on every signal, letting agents assess data freshness and reliability + Purpose-built for AI agents with structured JSON responses, identity graph resolution, and intent signals (life events, buying signals, brand affinities) that enable sophisticated reasoning
Cons	- Credit-based pricing adds complexity for agents — different actions cost different credit amounts (1 for email, 5 for mobile), requiring agents to track budget - No official OpenAPI spec, so agents can't auto-discover endpoints or generate typed clients without manual setup	- Async enrichment flow (POST then poll GET with request_id) adds complexity for agents compared to synchronous APIs — requires polling logic or webhook handling - Credit-based pricing with variable costs per feature (lite vs standard vs social posts) makes budget tracking complex for autonomous agents
