Datovu vs DigitalAPI

Datovu builds data APIs from datasets, letting users collect, index and monetize data without writing backend infrastructure. Its AI agent can plan research from natural-language instructions, search across sources and return structured data. Inputs include CSV, JSON and PDF files, pasted text, connected data feeds and web results, combined in a searchable index. The API builder generates REST endpoints with pagination, filtering and documentation. Publishers can add checkout, usage metering and payouts through Stripe Connect, and the marketplace lets people discover and subscribe to data APIs without an account. Datovu is available on the web and by API, with cloud deployment. The Free plan is free and includes 150 actions per month, one published API, one dataset, 100 documents and 1,000 API requests per month. Paid plans start at $29 a month. Operations stop at plan limits without overage charges, with alerts at 80%, 90% and 100% usage. Datovu says data is isolated per user and team, with zero-retention options.
