B2B local data · API + hosted MCP · 100 free credits on sign-up
Nearly every U.S. local business. Query it like a database.
20.8 million U.S. local businesses — deduplicated into one clean row each, with decision-maker contacts, mobile numbers and personal-pattern emails where we hold them — filterable by state, city, ZIP, industry, service line and size, plus email verification, fresh crawling and live local search (bring-your-own-list enrichment is coming soon), in one credit-metered API and hosted MCP server your agents can call mid-conversation. Counting is free. Estimates are free. No match, no charge.
01 · The store
What's actually in it — measured, not marketed
Every headline figure on this page was measured on the serving database on 2026-10-25 (current build: 2026-09-02) — not a rounded-up brochure figure; code samples are illustrative. The store covers every U.S. state, assembled from business directories, map listings, public records and each company's own web presence — deduplicated into one row per business with a fixed, CSV-ready schema.
Field coverage · 20.8M companies
every company row: 24 fixed fields · unknown = explicit null · decision-maker = the strict definition below
Largest verticals · companies on file
+ 33 more verticals: general contractors, hospitality, apartments, grocery, security, fitness, moving… · 19% of companies carry no vertical yet; sector, service line, NAICS and geography still apply to them
Labeled for what it is, not what sells
Most data vendors flatten everything into "a contact." We classify every record so you know exactly what you're buying before you spend a credit:
2.78M decision-maker contacts. A named decision-maker with an email or mobile, counted per company — a person listed at two companies is two contacts — the strict definition the API counts (/v1/count?entity=contacts) and delivers. The sellable core.
A named individual whose only email is a shared inbox. The email is labeled type: business — never passed off as personal.
5.2M mailboxes. A reachable company mailbox with no named person. Honest reach when no human is published.
220K names. An owner/officer name with no direct channel yet, screened against a 29,000-name dictionary — built to pair with skip-trace.
Slice the store on any combination of:
Decision-maker coverage is a free aggregate count — count_contacts tells you how many decision-maker contacts sit behind any filter before you pull a single row. Reveal one company's contacts once that company is yours, or search contacts across a whole segment of 25+ companies with GET /v1/contacts.
Service-line filtering means a general contractor that also roofs matches "roofing" — 5.5M companies carry more than one detected service line, and single-category databases miss them.
02 · The products
Seven capabilities — five live today, two on the way.
Warehouse search, people, verification, fresh crawling and live local results are live; skip-trace is activating and bring-your-own-list enrichment is coming soon — every one behind the same key, the same envelope, the same billing rules. Nothing is a separate subscription.
Search & count. Size any market for free, then pull it. Ordered by data quality, so your first records are your best records.
Named decision-makers. Strict by default: a real person's name in an owner, executive, operational or financial role, with an email or a mobile number. You're only billed for contacts carrying a channel you asked for — size them free with count_contacts and price a reveal with estimate=true before you spend.
Verification as a service. Mail-host checks instantly, deep verification in bulk. Every email we deliver is labeled unverified, and you verify it on demand — the verdict carries its own verified_at. Every verification is charged; an address verified in the last 60 days comes back at once, with its original date. Verify ours, or bring your own list.
Off the live site, dated honestly. Point us at any domain list and get the emails, phones and socials on each site — crawled now, or a crawl we did in the last 30 days, served with its real scraped_at. Never a stale database dressed up as new.
The live web, on tap. Real-time local business results and organic web search — ratings, phones, websites, coordinates — for when your agent needs what's true this minute.
Owner identity resolution. Address → owner name, phones with line-type and DNC flags, email. Built to complete our 220K owner_name_only records — and any address list you bring. Marketing use only, never FCRA purposes.
Bring your own list — coming soon. Send a CSV keyed on whatever you have — company, domain, address, phone — and we match every row to the store and fill firmographics and decision-maker contacts from it. You get back a scored file plus analytics on exactly how many rows we matched and which fields we filled. Until then, pull matching companies with search and reveal their contacts.
03 · Pricing & the rules
Per record. Never per call, never per seat.
One credit balance across every product. No subscription, no seats, no feature gates, no minimums. These aren't marketing lines — they're enforced in the billing engine and written into the API contract:
Counts are free
Size any filter combination with /v1/count — always 0 credits. Know exactly what a market looks like before you spend anything.
Estimates are free
Add estimate=true to any paid GET and get the exact credit cost back without executing. No surprises, ever.
No match, no charge
Empty reveals, emails that could not be verified, unmatched skip-traces, dead crawls — 0 credits. You pay for data received, not for asking (a deep check with no verdict pays only for the mail-host answer it returned).
Deduped before billed
A contact is one record: one person at one company. The same contact appearing twice in a result never bills twice; a person listed at two companies is two contacts. Billing equals distinct records delivered.
Holds that settle honestly
Bulk jobs hold the maximum up-front, settle to actual completions, and refund the difference automatically.
Safe retries
Send an idempotency key and a retried request replays the original response — same records, no second charge. Network blips can't double-bill you.
Budget brakes for agents
Contact reveals over MCP are two-step: estimate first, reveal only with confirm under a max_credits ceiling. Company pulls and live searches bill when called — size with free counts, use estimate, keep limits small, and ask for a per-key daily cap.
The delivery ledger
Records you've bought are excluded from future pulls automatically, so a repeated pull never bills a record you already own, and a direct lookup of a company you already received is free. Re-reading records on purpose in browse mode (exclude_delivered=false) is billed like any pull. Detail below.
Two documented exceptions
Live retrieval costs us per request whatever comes back, so it bills per request: live web search per query and live local results per page fetched, even when the answer is empty. Those are the only two, and the price table below says so.
| Action | Credits | What you get / when you pay |
|---|---|---|
| Count / estimate | 0 | Any filter, any entity, any time. Free forever. |
| Company record | 1 / record | Full 24-field profile — search result or direct lookup, same schema. |
| Contact reveal | 3 / contact | Named decision-maker with channels. Only billed when it carries a channel you asked for. |
| Email verify — mail-host | 1 / email | Instant domain-level deliverability. Every check is charged; an answer verified in the last 60 days comes back at once with its original date. |
| Email verify — deep | 3 / email | Full mailbox-level verification: valid / catch-all / invalid. Bulk up to 10,000. Every verdict is charged, one we already hold too (it comes back with its original date). |
| Fresh crawl | 2 / domain | Live-site emails, phones, socials. Only successful crawls bill. |
| Live local results | 2 / page | 10 live places per page with ratings, phones, websites, coordinates — walk up to 10 pages per call. Billed per page fetched, even when empty. |
| Live web search | 1 / query | Organic results + knowledge panel when present. |
| Skip-trace addressactivating | 6 / match | Owner name, phones with line-type + DNC flags, email. No match = 0. |
| Reverse phoneactivating | 4 / match | Phone → owner identity + address. No match = 0. |
| List enrichmentcoming soon | — | Match your CSV to the store, fill firmographics + decision-makers. Priced when it opens. |
Credit packs — the real prices
list as published 2026-10-25 · live list: GET /v1/billing/packsA new account starts with 100 free credits on sign-up, no card (one free trial per person, at most three per company email domain) — enough to run the whole quick start. When you need more, buy a pack in the console: one balance across every product, and the credit price of each action is the standard table above — your account's own table is GET /v1/schema → credits. The pack list is the server's own — GET /v1/billing/packs — shown here live when the API answers, otherwise as published on 2026-10-25. Need more than the largest pack? Talk to us.
The delivery ledger, drawn
You pull 1,000 janitorial companies in Texas today. Next month you pull "the same list" again. On most platforms you just paid again for much of it. Here, the ledger remembers what your account owns — the same request simply returns the next batch:
■ delivered this pull · ■ already yours — skipped, never re-billed · no offsets, no cursors, no overlap — and redeliver_after_days recycles old records when you want them back in play
04 · Built for agents
Your AI already knows how to use this.
Connect the hosted MCP server once and Claude, ChatGPT or your own agents query the store mid-conversation — no exports, no CSV round-trips, no glue code. Counting is free, so agents explore aggressively; contact reveals need an explicit confirm under a credit ceiling, every paid tool but the one-price verify_email prices itself free with estimate, an idempotency_key makes a retry free, and a per-key daily cap keeps the rest bounded.
Or hit the API directly
Plain REST, one header, one envelope. Every successful metered answer carries your remaining balance; every error is one machine-stable shape. If your stack speaks HTTP, it speaks Smarter Data. Counts and estimate=true are free, so you can build and price every call before you spend a real credit. Every endpoint, parameter, credit price and error code is in the API reference; keys come from the console.
05 · Who it's for
Same store, different leverage
Lead-gen & outbound teams
Build a verified list for any client territory in minutes — niche × ZIP × "has a named owner with a mobile" — then verify at send-time so bounces stop killing your domains. We run our own outbound on this exact store; it exists because we needed it.
B2SMB software builders
Selling to contractors, restaurants or clinics? Power onboarding autocomplete, TAM sizing, and in-product prospecting from one API — fixed schema, explicit nulls, no per-seat math as your user count grows.
Agent & workflow builders
Give your agent a data tool that's actually safe to hand it: free exploration, free estimates before spending, max_credits ceilings on contact reveals, per-key daily caps, and idempotent retries. MCP-native from day one, not an afterthought wrapper.
Data & RevOps teams
Fill CRMs from 20.8M profiles, let our delivery ledger keep repeat pulls from re-billing what you own, and re-verify aging emails in 10K-batch jobs — holds settle to actuals, misses refund.
06 · Straight answers
The honesty labels most vendors skip
Revenue is modeled
Revenue figures are estimates, labeled as estimates — segment on the band, never quote the number as reported financials. We won't pretend otherwise.
Verification ages
An email verified last quarter is not verified now. Every email we deliver is labeled unverified; verify it on demand and the verdict carries verified_at — re-verify before a big send, not a quiet lie.
Franchise noise is flagged
A national chain's HQ inbox is not the local manager. Chain-inherited contacts are flagged and withheld by default — you opt in, not out.
Compliance is explicit
Licensed for B2B sales & marketing; never FCRA-regulated decisions. A suppression-list endpoint is planned. Until it ships, send opt-outs to privacy@smarterdata.ai: we remove the record in the next data refresh and confirm by email.
You own the channel
TCPA/DNC for calls and texts, CAN-SPAM for email — that's your responsibility, and we say so. DNC flags we return (with skip-trace) are information, not permission.
Sources, not secrets
Every record names its origins — business directory, map listing, public records, the company's own web presence, or live web — so you know why we believe it.
07 · FAQ
Questions, answered straight
Is there a subscription or a minimum?
GET /v1/billing/packs lists them — from 2,000 credits for $49 up to 250,000 for $3,499); the credit price of every action is one public table (GET /v1/schema → credits).Where does the data come from?
business_directory, map_listing, public_records and web_presence (the company's own site), plus live_web for real-time queries. Multiple origins are cross-checked and deduplicated into one row per business with a quality score.What exactly counts as a "named decision-maker"?
other, and never count; neither do generic inboxes or franchise HQ contacts. The free contact counts and the paid reveals use the same strict definition, so the number you size is the number you get. A contact is one person at one company: a person listed at two companies is two contacts.How fresh is it, and what about wrong data?
POST /v1/verify/email), not at crawl time. That's the honest architecture: no vendor's static database has fresh emails, so we built verification and live crawling into the same API instead of pretending. Every email we deliver is labeled unverified until you verify it.Can I export to CSV or does it live behind the API?
exclude_delivered=false) is billed like any pull.What happens when my agent goes rogue?
max_credits ceiling. Company pulls and live searches bill when called — search_businesses up to 200 records per call — so size with the free counts, use estimate: true, keep limit small, and ask us to set a daily credit cap on the key your agent uses. Give a paid call an idempotency_key and a retry replays the original answer for 0 credits, so a flaky network can't double-bill; per-key rate limits cap burst spend; every successful response shows the remaining balance.Is this legal to use for cold outreach?
privacy@smarterdata.ai — flags are information, not permission. Never for FCRA-regulated decisions (credit, employment, tenancy, insurance).What's on the roadmap?
