No enterprise-only gate found. [api_gate 2026-09-03] Reconciled paid -> free so this cross-listed entry agrees with its canonical entry in 01-data-enrichment.md, checked against the live vendor pricing surfaces: https://crustdata.com/ states \"Free sandbox key, full API, MCP server and skill templates\"; https://crustdata.com/pricing lists no prices at all, only three access routes (credit-based real-time API with monthly/annual plans, flat-file data, and a contact-sales custom/enterprise tier), so the earlier \"flat-file data starting at $49/mo\" figure is dropped as no longer verifiable on the vendor's own page; https://docs.crustdata.com/general/pricing states credits are \"valid for 6 months from the purchase date\", /person/search and /company/search cost 0.03 credits per result, /person/search/autocomplete, /company/search/autocomplete and /company/identify are free, \"Web live endpoints are available on self-serve plans\", and Company and Person live endpoints remain plan-gated.
