B2B enrichment APIs take a company name or domain and return data like tech stack, employee count, funding, and web presence. Traditional enrichment platforms charge $49+/mo for database access. API-first alternatives use real-time search to provide fresher data at lower cost. We ranked five options by data freshness, coverage, and pricing.
Scavio enriches B2B leads with real-time Google search data, company website content, YouTube presence, and Reddit mentions at $0.005 per query. While it does not replace contact databases, it provides fresher company intelligence than static B2B databases.

Why Scavio Wins
- Real-time search data means company intelligence is always current, unlike B2B databases that update periodically and can show stale information for smaller companies.
- At $0.005 per query, enriching 1,000 companies costs $5, compared to $49-149+/mo minimums from Apollo and Clay.
- Apollo is the clear winner for teams that need contact emails, phone numbers, and a built-in CRM alongside enrichment.
- Multi-platform signals from Google, YouTube, Reddit, and TikTok provide a broader view of company activity than database records alone.
- Credit-based pricing means enrichment costs scale with actual usage, making it accessible for early-stage startups and side projects.
