Is there a free SeekOut alternative?

looot has no monthly seat. You pay per call to the provider you pick, and the catalog shows each endpoint's price before you run it. Whether that comes out cheaper than SeekOut depends on your volume.

What does SeekOut cost?

List prices change, so check SeekOut's own pricing page. This page does not repeat them. The looot side is read live from the catalog on the web version of this page.

What is a good SeekOut alternative for an AI agent?

An agent with a looot connection can call the providers behind SeekOut's data jobs directly. The providers used here are people-data-labs, coresignal, ai-ark, hunter, findymail, tomba, icypeas.

Which SeekOut features does looot not cover?

Not covered: diversity filters, candidate pipeline. Keep SeekOut for those, or use another tool beside looot.

How do I replace SeekOut with looot?

Paste the agent prompt on this page into your coding agent. It sets up looot, finds the endpoints for each job and runs them. You can edit the prompt to match your own inputs.

Do I need a SeekOut account to use looot?

No. looot calls its own providers and does not connect to your SeekOut account. Your existing SeekOut data stays where it is.

Ask your agent

Paste one prompt to replace SeekOut

Your agent reads the looot setup file once, then runs the jobs below and shows each price first.

Prompt to replace SeekOut

Use looot to search for people with a given title and skills at companies I name, enrich each profile and find a work email. If you have not yet, set up https://looot.ai/skill.md first. Then search the looot catalog for each step, check the price of each endpoint before you call it, run the cheapest one that fits, and show me the results as a table.

Setup

One prompt, one price, one ledger

The same three steps every looot agent follows.

Paste one prompt into your agent

Set up looot

Done, looot is connected.

Copy one prompt from /connect into Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP agent. No SDK, no dashboard click-through first.

Your agent finds the right operation

Hunter$0.0265

Exa$0.0090

Diffbot$0.0032

The agent finds the operation it needs and sees the price first. It calls nothing blind.

You watch what it cost

Hunter$0.0265

Exa$0.0090

Diffbot$0.0032

Total$0.0387

Every call settles for its quoted price and lands in the ledger. You always know what ran and what it cost.
