Is there a free SparkToro 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 SparkToro depends on your volume.

What does SparkToro cost?

List prices change, so check SparkToro'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 SparkToro alternative for an AI agent?

An agent with a looot connection can call the providers behind SparkToro's data jobs directly. The providers used here are exa, tavily, linkup, searchapi-io, scrapecreators, tikhub, justoneapi, dataforseo.

Which SparkToro features does looot not cover?

Not covered: audience panel data, saved audience reports. Keep SparkToro for those, or use another tool beside looot.

How do I replace SparkToro 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 SparkToro account to use looot?

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

Ask your agent

Paste one prompt to replace SparkToro

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

Prompt to replace SparkToro

Use looot to find the websites, podcasts and public social accounts that people in a niche I give you follow, and rank them by how often they come up. 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.
