Enrich Layer vs Melissa Enrich

Enrich Layer is a managed data-enrichment service for B2B applications, returning company, people, job, and web-signal data in a consistent JSON response. Its People API can enrich public profiles or identify people from an email or name, with details such as work history, education, skills, and contact fields. REST endpoints use JSON requests and responses, with searches by name, domain, or keyword. Other listed enrichment types include contacts, schools, search, and web and SEO signals. The service has live integrations including Zapier, n8n, Clay, Workato, Pipedream, Node-RED, MCP, OpenClaw, and Salesforce; several other integrations are marked as coming soon. Enrich Layer says it uses public sources and does not collect information behind login walls. Trial credits allow real API calls without a card. Pricing includes one-time credit packs from $10, paid once and annual subscriptions; the pricing FAQ says monthly and annual plans carry a 12-month commitment, with an early cancellation fee for remaining months. API limits are 300 requests per minute, up to 1,500 in a rolling five-minute window.
