People Data Labs

Pros: Easy to use.
Accurate info about personal and non personal data.
Multiples categories.
Implementation flows.

Cons: Doc to complicated.
Some api return null.
Fix come later.

Overall: Good experience.
I will use this services for personal & non personal projects.
Data privacy is a must this days.

Pros: I like that I can have company enrichment and person datasets - this gives us a complete picture of a person's profile. The API is also well documented making it easy for a developer to integrate. One of my favorite features is being able to input the URL of a social media profile and get back person-level details when it finds a match.

Cons: The match rates are decent but not as high as I would hope for. I also think their pricing is a little high.

Overall: Overall I really like People Data Labs. They offer a free tier to test out the service so you can see for yourself the value of their service.

Pros: I really like it, simple set up, easy to use API. Pay as you go model is fantastic. Free trial so you can test before you buy.

Cons: If you are not familiar with writing code or simple API scripts, you probably need an engineer to help.

Overall: Great! I will definitely use it in a future iteration, especially if you are building your own version of an ad targeting platform.

Pros: Large number of people records spread across the globe/industries available with comprehensive set of fields. Ease to build customized APIs which are easy to integrate. Usage based pricing.

Cons: Price of the data is on the higher side. Some of the data fields are empty.

Overall: Single stop reliable people data solution. Easy to use platform. Multiple data access channels available - raw data, APIs. Transparent pricing directly linked with the usage.

Pros: Ease of use. Ability to pivot from one data point to connections with others quickly and take investigation to next step. I'm not a bulk user trying to build up lists of sales leads. I'm generally investigating or looking for leads on one or more persons. PDL often finds connections other tools do not.

Cons: Lack of visibility into algorithms. When I get a connection between data point A and data point B, I need some visibility into how the connection was made in order to evaluate its importance and explain it to clients. I understand that PDL operates in a competitive space and needs the ability to protect trade secrets. But a little more visibility would be helpful.

Overall: PDL has become one of my "go to" tools when I'm stumped for a new lead. No tool is perfect, but PDL provides a lead or two when other tools come up empty.

Pros: Love working with People Data Labs data. We use it primarily to get email addresses and contact information, but it also comes with a lot of other helpful data (predicted gender, past work history, social media profile handles, etc.). In addition, it's very easy to use from the development standpoint -- API documentation is great and they are very communicative about changes to the API. Finally, for the price, we haven't seen another contact information vendor that comes close to the quality; very happy overall!

Cons: Only wish was that it was easier to add more API requests to your plan easily rather than talking to the sales team every time; but I get that this is part of the pricing and packaging.

Overall: Overall, would highly recommend People Data Labs to anyone trying to look for a combined "people data" repository.
