The strongest reasons to choose CompanyEnrich when people search and company enrichment matter most.
More companies enriched, cleaner records returned
More matched companies means fewer blank rows in your CRM, scoring models, and product features. A cleanup-first pipeline filters, normalizes, and removes noisy records before they reach scoring, routing, or personalization.
"Was able to find companies no other data provider was able to find."
Same people coverage, lower cost
Find the CEO or founder at practically the same share of target accounts for a fraction of the cost per correct contact. The savings add up fast when people search runs across thousands of accounts.

When is Crustdata still the right call?
We're not the right fit for every workflow. If these are your core requirements, Crustdata may be the better fit.
Watcher API
If your product depends on watching companies for changes, Crustdata's Watcher API is the more direct match.
Datasets
If you need offline datasets instead of live API enrichment, Crustdata is closer to that buying motion.
If your day-to-day workflow is enriching companies, searching for accounts, discovering lookalikes, filtering by taxonomy, or powering AI agents with live data, CompanyEnrich is the more focused choice.
