No OpenAPI spec, llms.txt or changelog.\n\n**Explorium AgentSource.** AgentSource v2 has a public OpenAPI 3.1 file, Markdown docs, a 200 queries a minute limit with `Retry-After`, public credit prices and a 100-credit trial. No status page or published SLA was found, each company shares one API key with no scopes, and the vendor's two published price tables disagree.\n\n## Before you call either\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### Explorium AgentSource\n\n1. Send the key in the `api_key` header to `https://api.explorium.ai` and use `/v2` paths. v1 is deprecated\n2. Point MCP clients at `https://mcp-v2.explorium.ai/mcp`. The site's agent files still name the v1 server at `mcp.explorium.ai`\n3. Count each entity in a batch as one query against the 200 a minute limit, so 50 IDs in one call spend 50\n4. Call the statistics endpoint first to size an audience for free. Fetch costs 1 credit a result, or 2 with the Bombora intent filter\n5. Call `/v2/autocomplete` before filtering on category, tech stack or job title, and never mix two category types in one request\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Dropcontact API + MCP or Explorium AgentSource?\n\nDropcontact API + MCP scores 50.9 (D) on agent readiness against Explorium AgentSource's 48.1 (D), and leads in 3 of 7 scored categories. Explorium AgentSource leads on schema \u0026 documentation and maintenance \u0026 community.\n\n### Do Dropcontact API + MCP and Explorium AgentSource need an API key?\n\nDropcontact API + MCP takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in. Explorium AgentSource needs an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Dropcontact API + MCP and Explorium AgentSource without installing anything?\n\nYes. Dropcontact API + MCP has a hosted endpoint at https://api.dropcontact.com/v1 and Explorium AgentSource at https://api.explorium.ai.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/dropcontact-vs-explorium-agentsource.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/dropcontact-vs-explorium-agentsource.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"dropcontact\", \"b\": \"explorium-agentsource\"}`.
