At least 1 credit per request even when nothing matches.\n\n**RocketReach API.** The hosted MCP server has nine documented tools, OAuth 2.1 with dynamic client registration and machine-readable error codes, and searches cost no credits. Plan prices were not readable, the docs send API plan requests to email, the terms require a human account holder, and the `account` tool returns the account's API key to the model.\n\n## Before you call either\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### RocketReach API\n\n1. Search first with `person_search` or `company_search`, which cost no credits, then look up only the profile IDs needed\n2. Treat `status: \"pending\"` as normal. Poll `check_person_status` after at least 3 seconds, and polling is free\n3. Do not echo the `account` tool's output to users or logs. It includes the account's API key\n4. Send the key in the `Api-Key` header. The `api_key` query parameter is deprecated\n5. Bulk lookup takes 1 to 100 queries and needs a webhook. Results arrive at the webhook, signed in `X-RocketReach-Signature`\n6. Do not loop on `unknown` from `email_verify`, or on `lookup_failed` and `not_found`. The last two are terminal\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Lusha API + MCP or RocketReach API?\n\nLusha API + MCP scores 62.3 (B) on agent readiness against RocketReach API's 51.2 (D), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories. RocketReach API leads on agent ergonomics.\n\n### Do Lusha API + MCP and RocketReach API need an API key?\n\nBoth take an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Lusha API + MCP and RocketReach API without installing anything?\n\nYes. Lusha API + MCP has a hosted endpoint at https://api.lusha.com and RocketReach API at https://api.rocketreach.co/api/v2.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/lusha-vs-rocketreach.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/lusha-vs-rocketreach.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"lusha\", \"b\": \"rocketreach\"}`.
