# Best LinkedIn company search API in 2026

> We benchmarked 3 LinkedIn company search API providers. We list all three, ranked by score. For each one, we show its top scoring plan, each part of the plan's score and what 1,000 companies cost.

The Data score on LinkedIn company search: Out of 100: the share of requested companies the call returned with a matching LinkedIn page. A matching company has an office in the search's country, as LinkedIn's own location filter finds, and a headcount in the search's size band. A provider we called more than once on the same search is scored on all those calls, so no one run decides it.
