Why teams choose CompanyEnrich
The strongest reasons to choose CompanyEnrich when enrichment and account discovery matter most.
More domains enriched
CompanyEnrich enriched 236 of 349 DNS-resolved domains in the public benchmark. PDL enriched 210. That coverage gap matters when enrichment powers scoring, routing, personalization, or product features.
"Was able to find companies no other data provider was able to find."
Lower cost to test and scale
CompanyEnrich starts at $0.01 per credit versus PDL's $0.10 starting credit cost. One unified credit pool covers enrichment, search, people APIs, lookalikes, headcount, Semantic Search, and MCP.
On PDL "Sales model is a little funky. You can purchase API credits or 'slices' of the data. Both options force painful trade-offs. A custom way to access all PDL data would have been ideal."
Richer company profiles
CompanyEnrich returned more benchmark fields per matched company, and led the taxonomy category with stronger categories, keywords, and classification coverage.
"Top feature is B2B/B2C/SaaS categorization."
Semantic Search, Lookalikes, and MCP
CompanyEnrich lets you describe a market in plain English, submit a company domain to find similar accounts, and connect enrichment/search workflows to MCP-compatible AI agents.
"Semantic search saves a boatload of time."
What real users say
Verbatim G2 reviews. CompanyEnrich reviewers named, People Data Labs reviewers anonymized.
4.85 / 5 on G2"Semantic search saves a boatload of time. No need to find the right filter combinations. Just type 'B2B Fintech SaaS in the US' and get the desired results."
"Domain lookalike feature is the number one most beneficial thing. Company data is generally much more accurate than most data providers. Setup is extremely easy and takes seconds."
"Was able to find companies no other data provider was able to find. Super easy to use. Data is top-notch. 10/10."
"Lookalike / semantic search algorithm is very precise. Pricing is very fair."
"Switched to a paid plan at $100/month. After a few days, staying well below API limits, my account was disabled. No warning or explanation given. Support was unresponsive after multiple contact attempts, even after waiting more than one week."
"Some data quality issues. Data trusts LinkedIn too much, with random LinkedIn profiles claiming to be a company's CEO when public sources don't match. No GUI for querying data, only a GUI for building the query string."
"Sales model is a little funky. You can purchase API credits or 'slices' of the data. Both options force painful trade-offs. A custom way to access all PDL data would have been ideal."
"There are a large number of duplicates in the dataset. Only API access, no web app exploration or sandbox."

When PDL is still the right call
We're not the right fit for every workflow. Here's where People Data Labs has the edge today.
Bulk dataset exports
PDL offers offline data slices for ML training pipelines, data lakes, or custom downstream systems. We don't ship bulk dataset dumps because CompanyEnrich is an API-first product.
Crunchbase URL coverage
In our public benchmark, PDL leads on Crunchbase URL fill rate. If your workflow specifically needs a Crunchbase link on every record, PDL is the safer pick.
Corporate relations
Parent / subsidiary / affiliate links are stronger on PDL. If you build org-tree dashboards or M&A intelligence, PDL has more depth here.
For enrichment, search, account discovery, lookalikes, MCP workflows, and daily GTM automation, CompanyEnrich is faster, more affordable, and built for how teams build today.
Benchmark results on real domains
We tested six enrichment providers on the same 349 DNS-resolved Majestic Million domains.
CompanyEnrich vs PDL on 349 real domains
CompanyEnrich led PDL on find rate, average fields returned per profile, and taxonomy coverage. PDL led on Crunchbase URL coverage and corporate relations.
