THE SCRAPIN ALTERNATIVE

Same Real-Time Model. Signals And Sales Nav On Top.

ScrapIn and Datamagnet agree on the fundamentals: fetch profile data live, bill per successful request, return post engagement as structured JSON, and offer people and company search. Datamagnet then adds Sales Navigator URL search, funding-round history and continuous change signals — while ScrapIn keeps the identity resolution from an email, domain or name that we do not have.

Datamagnet vs ScrapIn: the short answer

ScrapIn and Datamagnet are both real-time professional-profile data APIs: pass a profile URL, get live JSON, pay about one credit per profile and only on success. ScrapIn is now part of Reverse Contact, which documents people search, company search, social data and bulk company, employee and job-posting datasets. Choose ScrapIn to match a person from an email, domain or name when you have no profile URL, or to license datasets into your warehouse. Choose Datamagnet for Sales Navigator URL search, funding-round history and job-change signals pushed to a webhook, starting on 10 free credits.

Our verdict

ScrapIn is a well-built enrichment API, and the overlap with Datamagnet is larger than either marketing page tends to admit: both fetch live, both bill only on success at about a credit per profile, both return posts and the people who commented, reacted and reposted, and since the Reverse Contact consolidation both offer people and company search. The split is at the edges. ScrapIn reaches backwards — from an email address, a domain or a name to a profile — and licenses bulk datasets. Datamagnet reaches forwards, into Sales Navigator search, funding history and continuous change signals. If your pipeline starts with records you already hold, ScrapIn is the right answer and we are not close. If it starts with an ICP, ours is.

Which one should you pick?

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

Choose Datamagnet if

  • Your pipeline starts from an ICP definition or a saved Sales Navigator search rather than records you already hold
  • You want Sales Navigator search URLs turned into structured results without running a browser session
  • You need job-change and engagement signals delivered to a webhook instead of a polling job you maintain
  • You want funding-round history for a company, keyed off its domain
  • You want to test on 10 free credits and start at $39/month rather than commit to a minimum credit purchase

Choose ScrapIn if

  • Your records are email addresses or names and you need to resolve them to profiles — Datamagnet has no email-keyed or name-keyed lookup of any kind
  • You want bulk company, employee or job-posting datasets delivered to AWS, GCS or Snowflake rather than called per request
  • You need job-posting data, which Datamagnet does not collect
  • You re-resolve the same records on a schedule and want the documented cache option that discounts repeat lookups
  • You want enrichment, search and social data for both people and companies from one vendor with a public status page

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

Both APIs fetch live. The difference is what happens after the fetch.

ScrapIn's distinctive endpoints run backwards: an email address, a company domain, or a name plus a company, resolved to a profile. That is identity resolution, it is genuinely good, and Datamagnet does not do it at all. Datamagnet's distinctive endpoints run forwards in time: a Sales Navigator search URL resolved into people you did not already have, funding history for the company behind a domain, then the record watched for change. Both platforms can search. Only one of them tells you when something moves.

  • Find — ICP search, live people search, the enriched-profile database, or a Sales Navigator search URL returns net-new matches; Reverse Contact documents people and company search but no Sales Navigator surface
  • Enrich — one call returns the live profile; company insights and funding history come from the Company API
  • Watch — six signal types call your webhook on job changes and engagement, so you stop re-fetching profiles that have not changed
6 signal types
Job changes, new posts, and engagement filtered by keyword, industry, company or person. Reverse Contact's webhooks return completed enrichment jobs, not change events.

Pricing, side by side

The two sites publish different terms for the same product while the platforms consolidate: scrapin.io lists a $30 seven-day trial and a $500 pay-as-you-go minimum, while reversecontact.com lists free seven-day evaluation access and a $100 minimum. Neither publishes credit counts or per-credit rates. The documented person and company profile calls cost 1 credit each — the same unit price as Datamagnet. Confirm current terms with their team before budgeting. 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 ScrapIn wins

  • Identity resolution from partial data — the Person Match endpoint accepts any combination of first and last name, company name, company domain or email and returns the profile. Datamagnet has no email-keyed or name-keyed lookup and no plans for one
  • Bulk dataset licensing: company, employee and job-posting datasets delivered as JSON or Parquet to AWS, GCS, Snowflake and other destinations on a monthly refresh cycle, from $1,000 a month. Datamagnet sells no datasets
  • A structured job-postings dataset for analytics and intent scoring; Datamagnet collects no job-posting data at all
  • Six documented API surfaces under one key — person and company enrichment, person and company search, and person and company social data
  • Published scale and reliability figures on its own homepage: 300M API requests a month, 98.8% uptime and sub-two-second response times, backed by a public status page
  • A documented cache option on email resolution that serves repeat lookups at a reduced credit cost, which matters when you re-resolve the same records on a schedule
  • Native SDK plus Zapier and n8n connectors, so the API is reachable from existing tooling without engineering work

Where Datamagnet wins

  • Sales Navigator search URLs turned into structured results through the API — Reverse Contact documents no Sales Navigator surface
  • ICP search with include/exclude logic, plus an instant database of previously enriched profiles
  • Funding-round history keyed off a company domain, which neither the ScrapIn nor the Reverse Contact company endpoints return
  • Six job-change and engagement signal types delivered by HMAC-signed webhook or email digest; their webhooks deliver completed jobs, not change events
  • Company insights: headcount and hiring trends, alumni movement
  • 10 free credits on signup, with no card and no sales call
  • Published monthly plans from $39 and pay-as-you-go from $10, against a minimum credit purchase of $100 or more
  • Published per-endpoint credit costs and a published per-credit rate card

Datamagnet vs ScrapIn: FAQ

ScrapIn is now part of Reverse Contact. Its old developer site at docs.scrapin.io carries a notice that the documentation is no longer maintained and that all ScrapIn API references have moved to the Reverse Contact developer portal, with support at support@reversecontact.com. The API keeps running and scrapin.io still sells credits, so this is a platform consolidation rather than a shutdown. The two sites currently publish different pricing, so confirm terms before you budget.

Both are real-time profile data APIs — URL in, JSON out, fetched at request time and billed only on success, at one credit per person or company profile on either side. Both return post content and the people who commented, reacted and reposted, and both offer people and company search. The differences sit at the edges: Datamagnet adds Sales Navigator URL search, funding-round history and webhook change signals, while ScrapIn adds identity resolution from an email, domain or name, and bulk dataset delivery.

No. Datamagnet has no email-keyed endpoint and does not find, verify or resolve email addresses at all. ScrapIn does: its Person Match endpoint accepts any combination of first and last name, company name, company domain or email, and returns the matching profile. If your records are email addresses and you need profiles back, ScrapIn is the right tool and Datamagnet is not a substitute. Datamagnet starts from a profile URL, an ICP definition, or a Sales Navigator search URL instead.

No. The mental model is identical: real-time fetch, per-request billing, one credit for a person or company profile. You swap the endpoint base, remap field names, and re-test. Most single-endpoint integrations move in a few hours, and Datamagnet gives 10 free credits with no card, so you can run both APIs against the same profile URLs and diff the JSON before committing. Email- and name-keyed matching is the exception, with no Datamagnet equivalent.

Polling burns credits re-fetching profiles that have not changed, and it puts a scheduler in your stack that you have to run and monitor. A Datamagnet signal watches a person, company or event continuously and calls your webhook only when something happens: a job change, a new post, or engagement matching your keyword, industry, company or person filters. Reverse Contact also offers webhooks, but they deliver completed enrichment jobs rather than notifying you of change.

When your workflow starts from something other than a profile URL or an ICP. Its Person Match endpoint resolves a profile from an email address, a company domain, or a name plus a company, none of which Datamagnet does. Reverse Contact also licenses bulk company, employee and job-posting datasets delivered as files to AWS, GCS or Snowflake, which suits teams that want data warehoused rather than called per request. Datamagnet has no equivalent to any of those.
