Pay only for validated data
A-Leads is a B2B contact-data and lead-enrichment platform: search for people and companies against firmographic/technographic filters, find and verify emails and phone numbers, and push validated records into a CRM or outbound tool. It markets itself on a "you only pay for leads that pass validation" model rather than flat per-record pricing.

A-Leads is a B2B contact database and enrichment engine sold as a product (web app), a developer API (api.a-leads.co, HTTP + Bearer token), and a hosted MCP server (mcp.a-leads.co, OAuth 2.0 with PKCE) so the same search/find-email/verify-email/find-phone actions can be run from an AI assistant such as Claude Code, Cursor, or Claude Desktop.
Credit costs are steeply uneven across actions: an email find or verification costs 1 credit, but a phone-number find costs 15 credits, so teams whose motion depends on direct-dial phone data will burn through credits far faster than an email-first workflow. Native, one-click integrations are limited to three tools (HubSpot, Instantly, EmailBison) per the confirmed integrations page - teams on Salesforce, Outreach, or Salesloft as their system of record would need to build against the API themselves rather than use a native connector, despite those tools being named as CRM integrations on the pricing comparison table. The AI "Power Ups" (Research Intelligence) allowance is capped even on the self-serve Power tier (5,000/mo) with unlimited only on Custom, so heavy AI-research usage pushes a buyer to a sales-assisted plan.
No curated rival set covers this tool yet, so these are simply other tools in the same architectural layer and product form. Treat it as a starting point, not a shortlist.
Yes. A-Leads publishes a REST API at api.a-leads.co (gateway/v1) covering advanced search, company search, email finding (personal and business), email verification, and phone-number finding, authenticated with a Bearer token.
Yes. A-Leads runs a hosted MCP server at mcp.a-leads.co over Streamable HTTP with OAuth 2.0 (authorization code + PKCE), documented with setup instructions for Cursor, Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, VS Code/GitHub Copilot, and Claude Desktop.
Credit-based, with three self-serve plans (Ignite, Boost, Power, each shown as "Start free") differing mainly in AI Power Ups allowance (2,500 / 3,000 / 5,000 per month) and feature access, plus a Custom sales-assisted tier. No flat dollar figures were shown in the pricing page excerpt we retrieved.
Per the MCP tools documentation, finding an email costs 1 credit per successful find, while finding a phone number costs 15 credits per successful find.
The confirmed integrations page lists one-click connectors for HubSpot, Instantly, and EmailBison, with "more coming soon" and the API offered as the path for anything else.
Yes, at status.a-leads.co, which reported all services online (98.452% uptime shown for Advanced Search) as of the check date.
We could not find one in what was retrieved. The API reference page documents endpoints and request/response shapes in prose and JSON examples, but no machine-readable OpenAPI/Swagger file was among the confirmed URLs.
