Verdicts

LeadMagic API + MCP

RFC 9457 problem-details errors with request_id, and Retry-After on 429. No free tier or trial credits, plans from $99 a month.

ZoomInfo API + MCP

Search, lookup and similar-record calls cost no credits, and a free account with 1,000 data and 1,000 AI credits needs no card. OAuth carries 20 scopes and limits are published per package. The Licence Terms and Conditions bar disclosing benchmark results, and the two documentation sites disagree on batch sizes and rate-limit headers.

Before you call either

LeadMagic API + MCP

  1. Call preview_cost before bulk work. It's free
  2. Read X-Credits-Remaining after each call instead of polling the balance
  3. Treat 402 as out of credits and wait out Retry-After on 429
  4. Keep credit-free search under 13,333 calls a day per account
  5. Retry unknown validations later. They cost nothing

ZoomInfo API + MCP

  1. Call Lookup first and pass the returned IDs to Search. Unknown industry, metro or topic strings are rejected with a 422
  2. Search before Enrich. Search is free, and each newly enriched record costs one data credit
  3. Request only the scopes the task needs in the scope parameter of the token call. Omitting it grants every scope configured on the app
  4. On 429 read X-RateLimit-Rejected-Bucket and wait for Retry-After. An exhausted hourly window can mean a wait of several hundred seconds
  5. Turn off model training in the AI client before connecting the MCP server. ZoomInfo prohibits MCP data being used for training
