Summary

Explee is a sales intelligence API that lets you search millions of companies and people using natural language queries, enrich contacts with email addresses, and score prospects against custom criteria using AI. The generous free tier (100 results free per search) and credit-based pricing make it accessible for small teams doing targeted outreach. It also includes a web search endpoint at $0,05 per 1 000 requests and custom AI agents that can be configured with your own system prompts.

Key Insight

  • Natural language company search: Define target companies in plain English (e.g. “AI B2B SaaS”, “real estate company”) and the API finds matching companies. No need to manually build filters - though structured filters are also available.
  • AI scoring with custom criteria: Each company or person can be scored 0-5 against your own criteria with reasoning. This is essentially automated lead qualification built into the search step, saving a separate enrichment/scoring pipeline.
  • People search with semantic job title matching: Search for “Head of Sales” and it also returns “VP Sales”, “Sales Director”, etc. Supports up to 1 000 people per company.
  • Email enrichment at two tiers: Basic (1,5 credits, ~50% hit rate) vs Premium (5 credits, ~78% hit rate, 6 providers with cross-validation). Only charged when email is found - zero-cost failures.
  • Free tier is meaningful: First 100 results per search are free including AI enrichment. Good enough for testing or small targeted campaigns before committing budget.
  • Batch operations: Up to 1 000 domains per request for company lookups, 100 contacts per batch for email enrichment. Async with polling.
  • Web search endpoint is dirt cheap: 0,005 credits per request ($0,05/1 000). Could replace Serper or SerpAPI for simple SERP queries.
  • Custom agents: You can define your own system prompt, input/output schemas, and run them for 1 credit per run. Essentially serverless AI agents with built-in company data access.
  • Rate limits are generous: 10 000 requests/hour, 150 concurrent. Web search allows 400 000/hour.
