Clearbit's APIs still run for existing customers behind a login, and its free tools and Logo API were retired in 2025. HubSpot's Breeze Intelligence is the route for new buyers, through HubSpot rather than Clearbit.\n\n**Crustdata API + MCP.** Per-field credit prices, readable per account from `/account/endpoints`, and `X-Credits-Used` on every response. No status page and no SLA.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Clearbit\n\n1. Don't plan to call Clearbit. Hand the task to a person with an existing Clearbit account, or use HubSpot's Breeze Intelligence through HubSpot\n2. Replace logo.clearbit.com links, which stopped working after 8 December 2025\n\n### Crustdata API + MCP\n\n1. Always send `x-api-version: 2025-11-01`. Unpinned calls get the latest version\n2. Call `/account/endpoints` first to see what your plan enables and what each field costs\n3. Ask only for the premium field groups you need, since each one bills\n4. Poll `GET /batch/{id}` before submitting more batch jobs. Active jobs count against a cap of 5 to 30\n5. Read the `crustdata://catalog` resource before calling MCP tools\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Clearbit or Crustdata API + MCP?\n\nCrustdata API + MCP scores 53.4 (D) on agent readiness against Clearbit's 13.5 (F), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.
