Persana vs Other Data Providers - How We Compare Against Them
If you're relying on multiple tools like Prospeo, Datagma, Icypeas, LeadMagic, Findymail, Dropcontact, Hunter, or Clay to power your lead generation and email finding workflow, you may be wasting both time and money.
In this blog, we’ll compare these tools side by side and explain why Persana AI’s all-in-one system can save you thousands of dollars a year while delivering better data coverage and results.
Cost Per Credit Comparison
Provider | Monthly Price | Credits Included | Cost per Credit |
|---|---|---|---|
Prospeo | $39 | 1,000 | $0.039 |
Datagma | $39 | 3,000 | $0.013 |
Icypeas | $19 | 1,000 | $0.019 |
LeadMagic | $60 | 2,500 | $0.024 |
Findymail | $49 | 1,000 | $0.049 |
Dropcontact | $26 (~€24) | 500 | $0.052 |
Hunter.io | $49 | 500 | $0.098 |
Clay | $800 | 50,000 | $0.016 |
If you wanted access to all of these platforms individually, you’d pay over $1,000/month and still suffer from scattered workflows and overlapping data.

Waterfall System = Higher Email Find Rate
One of Persana AI’s secret weapons is its waterfall enrichment system.
Here’s how it works:
When you search for a contact, Persana first checks Data Provider A.
If no result, it automatically tries Provider B, then C, and so on.
The process repeats in a round-robin fashion until a verified result is found or all options are exhausted.
Why it matters:
If you're using just one provider (e.g., Prospeo), and that provider doesn't have the contact's email, you miss the lead.
With Persana, you get the highest probability of a match since it cycles through multiple databases automatically.
This leads to a significantly higher find rate and less manual work.
