No free tier or trial credits, plans from $99 a month.\n\n**People Data Labs.** Monthly dated release notes, a free sandbox with synthetic data, response headers that report credits and rate limits, and a free plan of 100 records a month make the API easy to start with. No OpenAPI file was found, keys carry no scopes and may travel in the URL, and the agreement allows changes without notice.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### LeadMagic API + MCP\n\n1. Call `preview_cost` before bulk work. It's free\n2. Read `X-Credits-Remaining` after each call instead of polling the balance\n3. Treat 402 as out of credits and wait out Retry-After on 429\n4. Keep credit-free search under 13,333 calls a day per account\n5. Retry `unknown` validations later. They cost nothing\n\n### People Data Labs\n\n1. Send the key in the `X-Api-Key` header. The `api_key` query parameter puts the secret in URLs and logs\n2. Build and test queries against `https://sandbox.api.peopledatalabs.com/v5/...` first. It costs no credits and allows five calls a minute\n3. Set `size` deliberately on search. Every record returned costs one credit, and responses over 1 MB fail\n4. Treat `404` on enrichment as no match, not an error, and `402` as credits exhausted. Neither is worth a retry\n5. On `429`, wait until the `x-ratelimit-reset` time. Limits are fixed-window per key and per endpoint\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, LeadMagic API + MCP or People Data Labs?\n\nPeople Data Labs scores 64.2 (B) on agent readiness against LeadMagic API + MCP's 60.2 (C), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories.
