Overview

Enigma is a U.S. small-business intelligence service that links company identities, observed activity, and government records. It suits teams handling verification, KYB, or business-data enrichment. Its strongest case is combining those signals in one service; the trade-off is that meaningful API and AI-agent use starts on paid plans.

Key features

Enigma’s business graph connects brands, locations, owners, and related entities, and the company reports 2B+ relationships with 99.2% pairwise precision. That makes it relevant when matching records across changing business identities matters more than a basic company lookup. It also covers firmographic, technographic, organizational, and business-change data, with company matching.

Observed revenue, growth, refunds, openings, and closings give teams signals for payment-volume analysis and business-change monitoring. Enigma says its revenue data reflects 40% of U.S. card volume across the top 60 issuing banks. That is a substantial activity signal, but not a complete picture of any company’s finances.

The service links thousands of U.S. government datasets—including health inspections, permits, licenses, enforcement actions, tax liens, and regulatory filings—to business identities. This breadth can strengthen business verification and KYB, and give sales and marketing teams more context for lead generation. Customers can use a Console, API, or MCP for AI agents, but those access methods are divided across plans rather than all included at entry level.

Pricing

Plan	Price	What it includes
Free	0.00 USD per free	Console access, standard rate limits, viewing, search, and live summaries
Pro	20.00 USD per month	2,100 monthly credits, segment building, file enrichment, and API access
Max	200.00 USD per month	25,000 monthly credits, everything in Pro, MCP access, and AI integration access
Enterprise	Custom pricing	Custom allowance, negotiated rates and rate-card discounts, custom attributes and targeting, custom file delivery and integrations, contract SLA, and dedicated support

The Free plan is a practical starting point for Console-based research, but standard rate limits and the absence of API access make it a poor fit for recurring data workflows. Pro is the entry point for teams that need API access or file enrichment; its 2,100 monthly credits require careful sizing. Max raises that allowance to 25,000 and adds MCP and AI integration access, which matters for teams embedding Enigma in agent workflows. Included credits reset monthly and do not roll over, so uneven usage can leave paid capacity stranded. Enterprise is the fit for negotiated rates, custom integrations, or contractual support.

There is no free trial. The Free plan is the no-cost way to evaluate Console search, while paid plans are billed monthly at the stated prices.

Platforms

Enigma supports web and API access. The Console is available on Free; API access begins with Pro, and MCP access is included with Max. Enigma states that it is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and uses Amazon Web Services for its data service. It says customer communications use TLS, file exchange uses HTTPS with TLS 1.2 or later, and stored data is encrypted at rest. Its hosted environment undergoes ongoing vulnerability scanning and intrusion detection monitoring, alongside routine annual third-party penetration tests of its SaaS applications. Customer Success support is available by email at support@enigma.com.

Who it's for

Enigma is a fit for teams verifying businesses or enriching records with ownership, organization, and activity signals, as well as KYB operations and data-driven go-to-market teams. Payment-volume insights and sales and marketing lead generation are also stated use cases. It is less compelling for teams seeking only a lightweight company lookup, or those needing API access without committing to a paid plan.

Pros and cons

Pros: Identity graph, observed activity, and linked government records bring several useful business signals together, supporting verification and enrichment in a single workflow.
Pros: Pro adds API and file enrichment at 20.00 USD per month, giving smaller teams a defined entry point for programmatic use.
Cons: Free is limited to Console research, so teams cannot validate API workflows on the no-cost plan.
Cons: Monthly credits do not roll over, which can make the paid allowances inefficient for teams with irregular demand.
Cons: MCP and AI integration access are reserved for the 200.00 USD per month Max plan.

Alternatives

For a broader starting point, compare Company Databases and Account Enrichment Software. Choose BuiltWith instead when technology lookups are the priority: its free plan allows 10 detailed lookups per day, while Advanced costs 144.00 USD per year with a one-year minimum and unlimited detailed lookups. Landbase B2B Database offers a free plan with credits and custom pricing for tailored requirements.

Pappers is another option, with a free surveillance plan covering 10 companies, one alert recipient, three lists, and 100 favorites. PredictLeads is worth considering when API-call-based usage or self-hosting is relevant; it offers a free trial. PrivCo suits users looking for private-company profiles, with a free Researcher plan that includes limited profile views, recent revenue, employee count, news coverage, and funding events. Wappalyzer is a better fit for technology lookup and website alerts, with a free allowance of 50 technology lookups and 50 email verifications per month plus five alerts. Owler offers a free sample of sales intelligence and business information. North Data provides a company-data API plan at 500.00 EUR per month with a 12-month minimum contract and 5,000 monthly requests.

Verdict

Choose Enigma when your team needs business identity resolution alongside observed activity and linked public records, especially for verification, KYB, or enrichment. Its API entry point is comparatively accessible at 20.00 USD per month, but credit resets and the higher price for MCP access make it a weaker choice for irregular workloads or teams that need AI-agent access on a lower plan.
