Product Comparison
More. Sharper. Faster.
And it actually understands intent.
Get more usable matches with Swarm Search
Lev8 runs a swarm of search agents in parallel, combining quick search, layered semantic search, and broad open-web exploration. Results are ranked and verified together, so you get broader coverage without giving up speed or precision.
Get more reliable identities with Entity Resolution
Lev8 assigns every person and company a unique entity ID and uses it as ground truth across search and enrichment. Supporting evidence is tied back to the same entity, reducing duplicate profiles, identity mix-ups, and hallucinated matches.
Get more relevant results with Intent Verification
Lev8 continuously builds an intent profile from your request, then checks results against both the overall goal and each individual condition. This multi-layer verification keeps results aligned with your real criteria, not just the keywords in your query.
Reach prospects where they hang out
With Lev8, every verified match comes with the channels they actually use. Send personalized outreach over email, LinkedIn, X, Instagram, or WhatsApp — and manage replies and follow-ups in one place.
