# Minerva, free, Trial, POST /person-search/v0/search: People search API

> Find people using a natural-language audience description and return matching Minerva PIDs with contact-channel coverage stats

Minerva's people search API on its Trial plan. It costs $0.00 per 1,000 people. It returns none of the 13 key fields we check: Experience, Education, Skills, Headline and 9 more.
You get 100 results. You spend the results on Minerva's other calls. This call is free. Minerva limits how many pages you get but gives no number.
We haven't run Minerva through [our people search API benchmark](https://datacircle.dev/best-people-search-api.txt) yet.
This plan is free. We rank 606 plans for people search APIs by price. Half the plans cost $4.574 per 1,000 people or less.
[Coresignal's $49 monthly plan](https://datacircle.dev/people-search-apis/coresignal/49-monthly/llms.txt) is the cheapest paid plan per 1,000 people: as little as $0.0000038. Coresignal's $49 monthly plan covers up to 12,960,000 pages a month at no extra cost. Each page holds 1,000 people.
[PeopleSearch.im's $5 pack (/api/v1/search)](https://datacircle.dev/people-search-apis/peoplesearch-im/5-pack-starter-post-api-v1-search/llms.txt) covers any number of people. PeopleSearch.im's $5 pack costs less up front than Coresignal's $49 monthly plan.
