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**Dropcontact API + MCP.** Pay on success, with credits refunded when no email is found. No OpenAPI spec, llms.txt or changelog.\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### Dropcontact API + MCP\n\n1. Send a company name or website with every contact, or you get `only_contact_data`\n2. Send only documented fields. New accounts get a 400 for unknown ones\n3. Match webhook results by `request_id`, since order isn't guaranteed and duplicates happen\n4. Poll no faster than every 30 seconds, as the not-ready response asks\n5. Post an empty contact to read the credit balance at no cost\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Clearbit or Dropcontact API + MCP?\n\nDropcontact API + MCP scores 50.9 (D) on agent readiness against Clearbit's 13.5 (F), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Do Clearbit and Dropcontact API + MCP need an API key?\n\nClearbit needs an API key.
