At least 1 credit per request even when nothing matches.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Enrich Layer API + MCP\n\n1. Top up once before testing. Trial keys run at 2 requests a minute\n2. Set the person profile timeout to at least 100 seconds\n3. Ask for `extra`, personal emails or phone numbers only when needed, since each adds credits\n4. Use `callback_url` on slow lookups such as work email instead of holding the connection\n5. Map old Proxycurl paths with the transition guide rather than guessing\n\n### Lusha API + MCP\n\n1. Batch up to 25 contacts a request. A single bulk request costs 1 credit, not 1 per contact\n2. Ask for phones only when needed. A phone is 5 credits against 1 for an email\n3. Use the Buying Group endpoint. Decision Makers was retired on 2026-09-04\n4. Use `/v3/lookalike/contacts` for contact lookalikes\n5. Back off exponentially on 429. Free keys stop at 100 requests a day\n\n## Other comparisons with Enrich Layer API + MCP or Lusha API + MCP\n\n- [Apollo API + MCP vs Enrich Layer API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/apollo-vs-enrich-layer.md)\n- [Apollo API + MCP vs Lusha API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/apollo-vs-lusha.md)\n- [Coresignal API + MCP vs Enrich Layer API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/coresignal-vs-enrich-layer.md)\n- [Coresignal API + MCP vs Lusha API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/coresignal-vs-lusha.md)\n- [Crustdata API + MCP vs Enrich Layer API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/crustdata-vs-enrich-layer.md)\n- [Crustdata API + MCP vs Lusha API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/crustdata-vs-lusha.md)\n- [Enrich Layer API + MCP vs FullEnrich API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/enrich-layer-vs-fullenrich.md)\n- [Enrich Layer API + MCP vs Hunter API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/enrich-layer-vs-hunter.md)\n- [Enrich Layer API + MCP vs LeadMagic API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/enrich-layer-vs-leadmagic.md)\n- [Enrich Layer API + MCP vs Prospeo API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/enrich-layer-vs-prospeo.md)\n- [FullEnrich API + MCP vs Lusha API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/fullenrich-vs-lusha.md)\n- [LeadMagic API + MCP vs Lusha API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/leadmagic-vs-lusha.md)\n- [Lusha API + MCP vs Prospeo API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/lusha-vs-prospeo.md)\n- [Dropcontact API + MCP vs Enrich Layer API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/dropcontact-vs-enrich-layer.md)\n- [Dropcontact API + MCP vs Lusha API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/dropcontact-vs-lusha.md)\n- [Hunter API + MCP vs Lusha API + MCP](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/hunter-vs-lusha.md)\n",
