People Data Labs
PDL publishes Free, Pro starting at $98/mo for 350 records, and Enterprise (custom) with a transparent volume-based discount narrative on the page. Records-retrieved is the metering unit and is fully exposed; docs are public. The Pro entry sits above the $20 'low minimum' threshold, so the Low/no minimum dimension is partial. Enterprise tier is sales-led.

Observational summary written by xpay from the signals captured on 2026-05-04. Not a review of the product — only of its current pricing posture for agent buyers.- Pricing is publicly visible on an indexable page — agents can read tiers without scraping past auth.
- Per-unit billing is published, so an agent can budget for a single task before committing.
- API documentation is reachable without a login — discovery and integration can happen in one session.
- Per-unit rate is concrete enough that an agent can model expected spend before issuing a request.
- A free tier exists, lowering the bar for an agent builder to prototype before committing budget.
- Some tiers are sales-led; the highest-capacity surfaces are not self-serve.
- PPU requires account creation and an issued API key; a fully unauthenticated agent purchase is not yet supported.
- No /.well-known/ai-pricing.json or equivalent machine-readable pricing manifest is published — agents must rely on HTML scraping.
How People Data Labs could lift its score
PDL lands at Verified. Two missing points: (1) publish /.well-known/ai-pricing.json mapping Person/Company/Job-Posting endpoints to per-record cost; (2) host a Stripe Payment Link for a small credit pack so an unauthenticated agent can complete a one-shot purchase without dashboard onboarding.
