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.

FAQs About Lev8
Entity Search & Outreach
Lev8 is an entity search and go-to-market platform. You describe the companies or people you're looking for, and Lev8 returns verified matches with persistent Entity IDs, live GTM signals, and native outreach, so search, enrichment, monitoring, and engagement all happen in one workflow instead of four separate tools.
Exa is a strong web search API, but it stops at search. Lev8 returns more matches per query (90.0 vs 58.2 on identical query sets), at higher precision (82.3% vs 76.5%), and then goes further: persistent Entity IDs for identity resolution, a native GTM signal layer, and built-in multi-channel outreach that Exa leaves to external tools.
We only count results that pass verification, not raw hits. At $0.052 per verified result, Lev8 is 3.7× cheaper than Parallel on the same query sets. There are no separate meters for enrichment or signals, so the number you benchmark is the number you pay.
Every company and person Lev8 returns carries a stable ID that stays the same across queries, enrichment runs, and monitoring updates. That means no fuzzy re-matching when a company renames, changes domain, or shows up in a new signal — your CRM and workflows always resolve to the same entity.
Funding rounds, hiring surges, job moves, technology changes, and competitor activity are tracked natively for every entity you follow. Each signal can trigger a personalized outreach sequence automatically, so you reach out while the moment is still warm instead of exporting a list next week.
Yes. Lev8 sends natively across email, LinkedIn, X, Instagram, and WhatsApp with reply-aware sequences and follow-ups built in. No sequencing tool, no CSV exports — a verified match can go from search result to personalized first touch without leaving the platform.
