Frequently Asked Questions
Which providers were tested?
Twelve platforms across company data, profile enrichment and signals. Each one was given the same input and asked the same question, so the comparison is like for like.
What was it tested against?
A verified reference file, built by hand before any provider was called. For companies, 29 companies each with one confirmed latest event taken from a primary source. For people, the live LinkedIn pages of 31 professionals, read in September 2026. Nothing else was used to grade.
How is accuracy separated from depth?
They are scored separately and never averaged. A reply counts only if it is about the right company or the right person; a deep record about the wrong one scores zero. Depth is then measured on whatever came back.
How is cost worked out?
Measured, not quoted. Credit balances were read before and after every run, and prices come from each provider's public pricing page, re-read on 24 September 2026. Where a rate is negotiated rather than published, the report says so.
Is this sponsored by any of the providers?
No. Every account was paid for or run on a free tier by us, no provider saw the results before publication, and no provider paid for placement.
