Fiber AI pricing tiers
Fiber AI pricing tiers are built for one thing: let you plug live B2B data into outbound, recruiting, and AI agents without paying ZoomInfo/Apollo prices—or for failed calls. You buy credits, hit our people/company/job/LinkedIn endpoints, and only pay when we actually return data.
Fiber AI is a live B2B data API suite with endpoints for people search, company search, job search, contact enrichment, reverse email lookup, and real-time LinkedIn fetch. Teams use it to replace stale CSV vendors and UI-locked tools like LinkedIn Sales Navigator with always-fresh, API-native data that their growth, RevOps, and AI teams can automate against.
The Quick Overview
- What It Is: A live B2B data API + MCP server that returns verified people, company, and job data from 100+ sources—charging only for successful calls.
- Who It Is For: Outbound sales teams, recruiters, data/RevOps engineers, and AI teams building agentic workflows who are ready to rip out legacy data providers.
- Core Problem Solved: Legacy tools are expensive, stale, and UI-locked; Fiber AI gives you programmatic access to fresher data, “impossible” filters, and verified contacts at a fraction of the cost.
How It Works
You buy a monthly credit pool tied to a plan. Your team or AI agents hit Fiber’s endpoints—people search, company search, natural-language/agentic search, email→person, contact enrichment, and real-time LinkedIn fetch. Credits are only consumed when Fiber returns data, so you’re never punished for exploratory or failed lookups.
Under the hood, Fiber fans queries across 16+ data providers, applies waterfall validation with four layers of bounce detection, and merges results into a single response. That’s how we deliver higher yield and <1% bounce rates while still being 4x cheaper than Apollo/ZoomInfo.
- Call a live endpoint: Your system or agent sends a request (e.g.,
/people/search,/email-to-person,/linkedin/profile/fetch) with filters like title, company size, funding, tech stack, or a raw email/LinkedIn URL. - Waterfall + verification: Fiber queries 16+ sources, applies waterfall email validation and multi-layer bounce detection, then normalizes the person/company/job object.
- Credits for data found: If the call returns data, we charge credits from your plan; if we don’t find data, you don’t pay. You can scale from a few thousand calls to millions with higher rate limits and custom endpoints on upper tiers.
Features & Benefits Breakdown
| Core Feature | What It Does | Primary Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| People, Company & Job Search APIs | Search 850M+ professionals, 40M+ companies, 30M+ jobs with filters nobody else has (funding, accelerators, headcount growth, open roles, tech stack). | Replace LinkedIn Sales Navigator/Recruiter with deeper filters and higher audience yield. |
| Email→Person & Contact Enrichment | Turn work or personal emails into full profiles, verify work emails, and enrich CRM records with updated data. | Recover anonymous signups, fix CRM decay, and protect deliverability with verified, low-bounce contacts. |
| Real-time LinkedIn Fetch & Agentic Search | Pull live LinkedIn profiles, posts, and engagement; let AI agents build lists using natural language across 100+ sources. | Power AI agents and workflows with always-fresh data instead of scraping or exporting static CSVs. |
Ideal Use Cases
- Best for outbound teams replacing Apollo/ZoomInfo: Because Fiber’s Prospector tier gives you 15,000+ credits/month, verified contacts, and “only pay for successful calls” economics that typically deliver 80%+ cost savings.
- Best for AI agents & recruiting automation: Because Fiber exposes unique endpoints (email→person, partial-info search, real-time LinkedIn fetch) that let agents resolve identities, expand ICPs, and run micro-queries no other provider supports.
Limitations & Considerations
- Not a UI-first tool: Fiber is API-native. If your team wants a pure point-and-click tool and never plans to touch APIs, you’ll either need lightweight engineering support or to use Fiber behind your existing tools.
- Not a bulk static dump vendor: Fiber is optimized for live search and enrichment, not shipping giant, stale databases. If you only want a yearly CSV export, you won’t fully unlock the value of live, always-updated endpoints.
Pricing & Plans
Fiber AI has growth-ready pricing structured around credits and success-based billing. You pick a plan, get a monthly credit allowance, and only spend credits when Fiber returns data.
Flagship self-serve tier:
-
Prospector — $300/mo or $250/mo (paid annually, save ~17%)
Built for lean teams ready to scale without breaking the bank.Includes:
- 15,000 credits per month

- Ideal for:
- 2–10 person sales teams
- Early recruiting teams
- AI/ML teams testing agentic workflows
- Startups replacing Apollo/ZoomInfo + LinkedIn Sales Navigator
How credits work (conceptually):
- Each successful API response consumes a set number of credits depending on the endpoint and richness of the data.
- Failed or no-result queries cost 0 credits, so you can be aggressive with filters and experimentation.
- Because of the waterfall validation and four layers of bounce detection, credits effectively map to verified, usable contacts—not to bounces.
Beyond Prospector (custom/enterprise):
For teams that need higher volume, custom endpoints, or tight SLAs, Fiber offers custom enterprise tiers (booked via call):
-
Higher monthly credit commitments with volume discounts.
-
Higher rate limits for real-time workflows and AI agents.
-
Dedicated Slack channel with priority support.
-
Option to request net-new endpoints (e.g., custom LinkedIn workflows, niche verticals).
-
Contract-level guarantees around deliverability and cost savings (we regularly guarantee 80%+ savings vs existing vendors).
-
Prospector: Best for lean GTM and recruiting teams needing verified contacts, live search, and the economics to replace Apollo/ZoomInfo without a six-figure contract.
-
Custom / Enterprise: Best for high-volume outbound, staffing firms, and AI platform teams needing custom endpoints, millions of calls, and tight integration/support.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does “only pay for successful calls” work in Fiber AI’s pricing?
Short Answer: Credits are only consumed when Fiber finds and returns data; no-result calls are free.
Details:
When you call a Fiber AI endpoint—people search, email→person, LinkedIn live fetch, etc.—we fan out to 16+ providers, run waterfall validation, and attempt to return a complete record. If we don’t find data or can’t verify it, your credit balance doesn’t change. If we do return data, we deduct credits according to the endpoint. This lets you:
- Run exploratory searches without worrying about burning budget.
- Safely let AI agents fire lots of micro-queries (e.g., “find 10 more similar to this profile”) without cost blowups from dead-end calls.
- Trust that your spend maps to usable, verified data, not just API traffic.
How does Fiber AI’s pricing compare to ZoomInfo, Apollo, and LinkedIn Sales Navigator?
Short Answer: Fiber is typically 4x cheaper on a per-verified-contact basis, with better filters and live data.
Details:
Legacy tools lock you into seat-based or flat licenses, charge for stale exports, and still miss key segments (YC-backed, accelerator cohorts, headcount growth, live job postings, etc.). Fiber’s pricing is:
- Credit-based: You pay for data, not seats.
- Success-based: No-result calls cost 0 credits.
- API-native: Designed for RevOps, engineering, and AI teams who want to plug data directly into workflows.
Customers routinely:
- Replace Apollo/ZoomInfo and cut data spend by 80%+.
- Replace or deprecate LinkedIn Sales Navigator/Recruiter in core workflows, using Fiber’s people search and LinkedIn live fetch for more powerful filters.
- Improve deliverability with our waterfall validation and four layers of bounce detection, which yields <1% bounce rates and protects sender reputation.
Summary
Fiber AI’s pricing tiers are built for operators who care about live data, verified contacts, and predictable unit economics. The Prospector plan gives you 15,000 credits/month (with annual discounts) and only charges you when we return data—backed by waterfall validation, multi-layer bounce detection, and coverage across 40M+ companies, 850M+ professionals, and 30M+ jobs. As you scale, you can move into higher-volume, custom plans with better rate limits, dedicated Slack support, and even custom endpoints, all while replacing Apollo, ZoomInfo, and LinkedIn Sales Navigator at a fraction of the cost.
