Verdicts
Clearbit
There is no public API or MCP server an outside agent can call today. 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.
FullEnrich API + MCP
Credits only spent on found data, and identical re-runs within 3 months are free. Enrichment sources are third-party providers the vendor doesn't name.
Before you call either
Clearbit
- 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
- Replace logo.clearbit.com links, which stopped working after 8 December 2025
FullEnrich API + MCP
- Send identical names, domains and LinkedIn URLs when re-running, or deduplication misses and you pay again
- Expect 30 to 90 seconds a contact. Use the webhook or poll
get_enrichment_results - Ask for mobiles only when needed. They cost 10 credits against 1 for a work email
- Call
list_industriesandlist_senioritiesbefore filtering search - Use the 0-credit test contacts in the docs to check an integration
