Fetchin vs Enrich Layer
Enrich Layer is the successor to Proxycurl and keeps API compatibility with it, which makes it the path of least resistance for anyone who had that integration.
It is also, on published pricing, the most expensive option in this comparison. The entry annual plan is $588 for 35,000 credits, about $16.80 per 1,000 at one credit per lookup, and a profile can cost up to three credits.
Pay-as-you-go is worse: the smallest $10 pack is $0.10 per credit, roughly a hundred times the Fetchin rate.
Fetchin is $1.00 per 1,000, billed monthly, with nothing to sign for a year. If you would rather not subscribe at all, pay as you go starts at $1.50 per 1,000 and stays valid 12 months.

Enrich Layer figures are taken from their own public pages and were last verified in August 2026. Pricing and limits change, so check the sources below before making a decision.
Fetchin pricing: Subscription from $50 for 50,000 credits, with the rate falling to $0.90 per 1,000 above 250,000 and $0.80 above a million. Or pay as you go from $1.50 per 1,000, no subscription, valid 12 months.
Enrich Layer pricing: Best case, on the $22,788/year Ultra plan at one credit per lookup. The $588/year entry plan works out near $16.80 per 1,000, and pay-as-you-go starts at $0.10 per credit.
Where Fetchin wins
- $1.00 per 1,000 against roughly $16.80 on their entry annual plan. An order of magnitude.
- Month-to-month billing, or a one-off pay-as-you-go purchase with no plan at all. Enrich Layer discounts hard toward yearly contracts up to $22,788.
- Published latency and uptime figures. Enrich Layer publishes neither, and has no public status page.
- Data is fetched live per request rather than aggregated from curated sources of varying age.
Where Enrich Layer wins
- Proxycurl API compatibility. If you are migrating an old Proxycurl integration, their field names match and ours do not.
- Broader endpoint coverage, including job data and search that Fetchin does not offer today.
- Bulk endpoints and webhooks suit large offline enrichment jobs.
- 500 free credits on signup, though Fetchin gives 1,000.
Choose Fetchin if…
- Unit cost matters. This is the largest price gap in the whole comparison.
- You want monthly billing instead of an annual contract.
- You need published latency and uptime numbers to design against.
Choose Enrich Layer if…
- You want a literal drop-in for a legacy Proxycurl integration and would rather not remap fields.
- You need job data or search endpoints in the same vendor.
- Your workload is offline bulk enrichment where webhooks matter more than per-request latency.
Fetchin vs Enrich Layer, answered
- Is Enrich Layer the same as Proxycurl?
- It is the successor. Proxycurl shut down in July 2025 and Enrich Layer maintains API compatibility with it to make migration easier, but it is a separate paid service with its own pricing.
- Is Fetchin cheaper than Enrich Layer?
- Substantially. Fetchin is $1.00 per 1,000 requests. Enrich Layer works out near $16.80 per 1,000 on its $588/year entry plan at one credit per lookup, and reaches roughly $7.70 per 1,000 only on the $22,788/year Ultra plan. Pay-as-you-go starts at $0.10 per credit.
- Do Fetchin credits expire?
- Plan credits do not sit on an expiry clock: each month the plan renews and its credits come with it, with no annual contract and nothing to keep active. Pay-as-you-go credits, which you can buy one-off without a subscription, are valid for 12 months from the day you buy them. Enrich Layer ties its credits to an annual plan and lapses pay-as-you-go credits after a period of inactivity, so check its current terms before buying.
- What does Enrich Layer cover that Fetchin does not?
- Job data and search endpoints, plus Proxycurl-compatible field names. Fetchin covers profile, company, posts, comments, reactions and engagement, with people search and bulk datasets planned for Q4 2026.
