Enrich and Export

Your keys. Your providers. Zero markup.

Prospectee cascades through all your connected providers using your own API keys. If one misses, we try the next automatically. You pay providers directly.

Waterfall enrichment flow in action

You're overpaying for lead enrichment. Here's why.

Most enrichment tools charge you a premium to make API calls you could make yourself. Prospectee removes the middleman.

01

Clay Costs $500-$1000+/Month

Clay keeps raising prices. You're paying for API calls you could make yourself, wrapped in a complex UI you barely use.

Monthly Bill Ouch
Clay Pro $500/mo
Clay Business $1,000/mo
02

Credit Systems Are a Trap

Buy credits upfront, watch them expire, get surprised by overage charges. The credit model exists to make enrichment companies rich, not you.

Credit Balance Expiring
Purchased 10,000
Expired unused 4,200
03

Overbuilt Complexity

You don't need a visual workflow builder to find an email address. Most enrichment tools force you through onboarding, tutorials, and setup wizards for a simple task.

Setup Time Painful
Onboarding call 45 min
Build workflows 2+ hrs
04

Vendor Lock-In

When your enrichment tool picks the providers, you're stuck with their data quality, their rates, and their markup. You deserve to choose.

Provider Choice Locked
Their provider No choice
Their pricing 2-5x markup

The platform is free. Seriously.

No credits. No markup. No surprise invoices. You bring your own API keys and pay providers directly at their rates.

Why Is Prospectee Free?

Here's the honest answer.

Prospectee wasn't built to be a product. It was built as a lead magnet for our main product, Linkdee.io.

We needed a lead enrichment tool ourselves, built it internally using infrastructure we already had from Linkdee, and decided to share it publicly to drive awareness. Then Clay raised their prices right as we launched. Things moved fast.

We went viral. People loved it. And we had a decision to make.

We could've added a pricing page and monetized the moment. Instead, we decided to keep it exactly as it was — free, BYOK, no markup.

So how do we afford it?

Linkdee.io funds Prospectee. Simple as that. We're not burning VC money. We're not planning a bait-and-switch. Prospectee runs on infrastructure we already built and costs that Linkdee already covers.

You're not the product

No tracking, no data selling

No hidden credit system

No surprise paywalls waiting

Built for ourselves first

That's why it actually works

Will it always be free?

Yes, the core product will always be free. We may add team features or advanced options down the road, but the BYOK enrichment you use today will stay free.

If you want to support us, try Linkdee.io. That's the trade. Completely optional.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Prospectee, the free Clay alternative.

What is Prospectee?

Prospectee is a free lead enrichment platform that connects to multiple data providers through your own API keys. You upload a list of leads, and Prospectee cascades through your connected providers to find verified emails, phone numbers, and company data. The platform itself is free. You only pay the data providers directly at their standard rates.

How is Prospectee different from Clay?

Clay charges $500-$1000+ per month and adds markup on top of API calls. Prospectee is free. You bring your own API keys, and we never mark up provider costs. Clay also requires learning a complex workflow builder. Prospectee is upload, enrich, export. Three clicks.

What does 'bring your own API keys' mean?

You sign up directly with data providers like Apollo, Hunter, or Clearbit and get API keys from them. Then you paste those keys into Prospectee. When we enrich your data, the API calls go through your keys. You pay the providers at their rates. We add zero markup.

Is Prospectee really free?

Yes. The Prospectee platform charges nothing. No monthly fees, no annual contracts, no credits. You only pay the data providers you choose to connect, and you pay them directly at their standard rates.

What data providers does Prospectee support?

Prospectee supports 20+ data providers including Apollo, Hunter, Clearbit, Snov.io, Lusha, RocketReach, ZoomInfo, Dropcontact, Kaspr, LeadMagic, and more. We add new providers regularly based on user requests.

What is waterfall enrichment?

Waterfall enrichment means if Provider A can't find a contact's email, we automatically try Provider B, then C, and so on through all your connected providers. This cascading approach finds significantly more data than using any single provider alone.

What kind of data can Prospectee find?

Prospectee can find verified B2B email addresses, direct dial phone numbers, LinkedIn profiles, job titles, and company information like industry, employee count, and revenue. The specific data depends on which providers you connect.

How accurate is the data?

Every email found through Prospectee gets verified in real-time before it reaches your list. Unverified or risky emails are flagged so they never hurt your deliverability. Accuracy depends on the providers you connect, but verification ensures only good data gets through.

Do I need technical skills to use Prospectee?

No. If you can paste an API key and upload a CSV, you can use Prospectee. There are no workflow builders, no Zapier integrations, and no setup wizards. The entire process takes under 5 minutes from signup to your first enriched list.

Stop Overpaying for Enrichment. Bring Your Own Keys.

Your API keys. Your providers. Zero platform fees. Prospectee is the free Clay alternative built for teams that refuse to overpay for API calls.
