Pricing Model	Pay-Per-Result ($3.50/1k)	Heavy monthly rental ($50–$150/mo)
Platform Compute	100% FREE (Bundled in PPR)	Buyer pays extra compute hours & memory
Speed	Sub-second direct HTTP (100+ items/sec)	5–15 seconds per page via slow browser automation
Data Authenticity	Real verified B2B executives & domains	Dummy placeholder / synthetic data
Email Enrichment	Corporate pattern matrix & status validation	Often missing or invalid syntax
