# Crustdata review

Fresh company and people data for **RevOps teams** that need live buying signals, with an ops person or agency to connect it to the workflow.

## The take

- **Great for:** RevOps and **sales leaders** tracking champions, hiring, funding, and account changes in time to act.
- **The catch:** **Pricing is opaque and there is no self-serve UI.** A team without technical help has no easy path in.
- **Bottom line:** Reach for it when **fresh signals drive pipeline action**. Choose a prospecting app when reps need a ready-made workspace.

## Specs

- **Starting price:** ~$95/mo (vendor blog); pricing page lists no tiers
- **Free tier:** Yes, ~100 credits/mo, no card
- **Pricing model:** Credits, per-endpoint (search 0.03, enrich 1-7)
- **Best for:** RevOps and sales teams that need real-time people and company signals, with an ops person or agency to wire the workflow.
- **Key integrations:** REST API, MCP server (Claude, Cursor), webhooks, bulk CSV/JSON
- **Watch out for:** Opaque pricing, no UI, credits expire in 6 months

## What you're actually getting

Crustdata provides **live people and company data** for account research, champion tracking, deal sourcing, and trigger-based outreach. Your ops person or agency wires it into the team’s workflow.
Records are re-verified continuously, and the Watcher API can alert the team to job changes, funding rounds, and hiring spikes. Coverage is 1B+ people and 60M+ companies.

## Where it earns its keep

It earns its place when **fresh signals create a sales action**. A RevOps team can surface a champion move, funding event, or hiring spike while it still matters.
The MCP integration lets sales and recruiting teams query the data in natural language. Product Hunt shows 4.4 across 14 reviews.

## Where it'll bite you

**Pricing is the first trap.** The pricing page lists no named tiers or per-credit dollar rate. The vendor blog cites a $95/mo floor, third-party estimates run $200 to $5k+, and heavier live endpoints require an enterprise conversation.
**The workspace gap is the second.** There is no point-and-click prospecting UI, Zapier, Make, or native CRM connector. Credits expire in 6 months, and person records cost 1 to 7 credits.

## What it costs, really

The pricing page lists **no named tiers or per-credit rate**. The vendor blog names a $95/mo floor, while third-party estimates run from $200 to $5k+ depending on volume.
Published endpoint costs include **0.03 credits per search result** and 1 to 7 credits for person enrichment. Pilot your workflow before trusting an estimate.

## Reach for it / skip it

- **Reach for it if:** RevOps and sales teams that need real-time people and company signals, with an ops person or agency to wire the workflow.
- **Skip it if:** Skip it if reps need a self-serve prospecting UI. Apollo or Clay fit that operating style better.

## What real users said

- "Crustdata's APIs make it easy to integrate professional data & lead enrichment capabilities in my product" -- Aditya Asgaonkar, Product Hunt
