PROSPEO VS DATAMAGNET

Prospeo Finds Contacts. Datamagnet Reads Profiles.

Prospeo matches people against a database of roughly 300 million verified records and returns a work email or a mobile number. Datamagnet holds no profile database at all — you POST a LinkedIn URL and it fetches the page while your request is open. The two are more often stacked than swapped.

Datamagnet vs Prospeo: the short answer

Prospeo and Datamagnet solve different problems. Prospeo is a verified contact database: it matches a person against roughly 300 million stored records and returns a work email for 1 credit or a mobile number for 10, with a Chrome extension, Bombora intent data and CRM push, priced per user from $49 a month. Datamagnet is a live people & company data API — POST a profile, company or post URL and the page is fetched at request time. Pick Prospeo if you need emails and phone numbers for outbound. Pick Datamagnet if you need current profile, post and engagement data inside your own code.

Our verdict

Prospeo is a good product doing a job Datamagnet does not do. If you need a verified work email or a mobile number, Datamagnet returns neither, and no amount of live profile data substitutes for a deliverable address. What Prospeo cannot give you is a profile as it stands right now, post and engagement data, or signals pushed to a webhook — its records refresh on a 7-to-30 day cycle and its API stops at people and companies. Most teams that evaluate both end up running both.

Which one should you pick?

Straight guidance, including the cases where we're the wrong answer.

Choose Datamagnet if

  • The profile has to be current at the moment you read it, not as of the last refresh cycle
  • You need post content plus the people who commented, reacted or reposted
  • You need job-change and engagement signals delivered by webhook, not a search filter you have to re-run
  • Your input is a Sales Navigator search URL, or you want funding-round history from a domain
  • You are buying capacity for code and agents, and per-seat licensing does not fit
  • You want to pay only for successful requests, with no seat commitment underneath

Choose Prospeo if

  • You need verified work email addresses — Datamagnet does not return them at any price
  • You need mobile numbers or direct dials to run a calling motion
  • Your sellers work from a Chrome extension on LinkedIn rather than from code
  • You want leads pushed straight into HubSpot, Salesforce, Lemlist or Smartlead without building the integration
  • You want Bombora-sourced buyer intent scores layered onto your target list
  • You want one vendor, and one invoice, for finding, verifying and exporting contacts

Prospeo capabilities are summarized from their public documentation and pricing pages, last checked July 2026. Products change — verify against their current offering before you buy.

One credit, two different purchases

Both products price a person lookup at 1 credit, which makes them look interchangeable on a pricing page. They are not. A Prospeo credit buys a verified email address pulled from a record it already holds. A Datamagnet credit buys a live profile fetched while your request is open. That is why Prospeo can hand you a deliverable address and Datamagnet cannot, and why Datamagnet can tell you someone changed jobs this morning while Prospeo’s copy of that record may still be weeks behind.

  • Prospeo — match against ~300M stored records, return email (1 credit) or email plus mobile (10 credits)
  • Datamagnet — POST the LinkedIn URL, get the profile as it renders at that moment (1 credit)
  • The overlap between them is the identifier, not the payload
7–30 days
Prospeo’s own stated refresh cadence: weekly for highest-intent leads, roughly every 30 days for the broader dataset.

A Prospeo mobile number costs 10 credits, so a 15,000-credit Pro seat is 1,500 mobiles. Re-enriching the same record within 90 days, and re-pulling the same search page within 30 days, are free. Competitor pricing is taken from their public pricing page and was last checked July 2026; list prices change and negotiated rates differ. See Datamagnet pricing for our current plans.

Where each tool genuinely wins

No tool wins everywhere. Here's the honest split.

Where Prospeo wins

  • Verified work emails and mobile numbers are the entire product — Datamagnet returns neither, at any price
  • 125M+ verified mobile numbers, with a stated 30% connect rate; nothing in Datamagnet substitutes for a dialable number
  • A Chrome extension that reveals contacts on LinkedIn and on any company website — Datamagnet has none
  • One-click export into HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Close, Lemlist, Smartlead, Instantly, Outreach and Salesloft
  • Bombora-sourced buyer intent scoring, which Datamagnet does not offer in any form
  • ICP search costs 1 credit per 25 results against Datamagnet’s 10 — materially cheaper for large list builds
  • A free plan that renews 100 credits every month, against Datamagnet’s one-time 10 free credits
  • Bulk enrichment of 50 people per call and 30 requests per second on Pro — throughput a live-fetch API cannot match

Where Datamagnet wins

  • Every profile fetched live at request time rather than served from a database on a refresh cycle
  • Post content with the commenters, reactors and reposters behind it, as structured JSON
  • A per-person activity feed, which Prospeo has no endpoint for
  • Six job-change and engagement signal types delivered by HMAC-signed webhook or email digest
  • Sales Navigator search URLs accepted directly as input
  • Funding-round history from a domain, sourced from Crunchbase
  • Credits only — no seat licences, so adding a teammate or an agent costs nothing extra
  • Charged only on successful requests, and pay-as-you-go credits stay valid for 12 months rather than resetting at renewal

Datamagnet vs Prospeo: FAQ

Only for part of what Prospeo does. Both charge credits and both accept a LinkedIn URL, but Prospeo returns verified work emails and mobile numbers from a stored database and Datamagnet returns neither. Datamagnet fetches the profile, company page or post live at request time and adds post engagement, ICP search and job-change signals. Teams leaving Prospeo for contact data still need an email provider; teams leaving it for freshness do not.

No. Datamagnet does not find, verify or return email addresses, mobile numbers or direct dials, and it does not offer email verification or bounce checking. It returns structured professional data: person and company profiles, posts and the people who commented, reacted or reposted, ICP and Sales Navigator search results, and job-change signals. If your workflow depends on contact details for cold email or dialing, pair Datamagnet with a provider like Prospeo rather than replacing one with the other.

Prospeo prices per user in US dollars. The free plan renews 100 credits per user each month. Starter is $49 per user per month for 2,000 credits, Growth is $99 for 5,000 and Pro is $249 for 15,000; annual billing lowers those to roughly $37, $74 and $187 a month. Credit add-ons start around $0.02 per credit. One credit reveals a verified email, a mobile costs 10, and unused credits do not roll over.

Prospeo consolidated its API in early 2026. The standalone email-finder, mobile-finder, email-verifier, domain-search and social-url-enrichment endpoints were retired on 1 March 2026 and replaced by a single enrich-person call that returns the profile, the email and, for 10 credits, the mobile. The current documentation lists enrich, bulk-enrich, search, suggestion and account endpoints only, plus an MCP server. Integrations built against the old routes had to migrate before that date.

Prospeo serves stored records and states that its highest-intent leads refresh weekly while the broader dataset refreshes roughly every 30 days, so a record can be up to a month old when you read it. Datamagnet keeps no profile database; it fetches the page when the request arrives, so the response reflects the profile at that moment. Prospeo trades some freshness for contact detail that Datamagnet cannot provide at all.

Yes, and it is a common shape. Prospeo supplies the verified work email or mobile number that Datamagnet does not return, while Datamagnet supplies the live profile, current role, post activity and job-change signals that a stored database refreshes on a cycle. A typical pipeline searches or enriches in one, keys on the LinkedIn URL, and calls the other. Both charge credits rather than requiring an annual contract, so running both is cheap to test.
