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.

FAQ About Lev8,
Web Search
Yes. Lev8 can be an alternative to Parallel for teams that want to use AI-powered web search without building their own search agent or API workflow. Parallel provides web search infrastructure for developers and AI agents, while Lev8 provides a ready-to-use search experience for discovering and researching people, companies, and information.
Parallel is primarily a web intelligence infrastructure platform. Its APIs provide search, extraction, deep research, monitoring, and structured datasets that developers can integrate into their own applications and agents. Lev8 is a search product built directly for users. You can simply describe what you’re looking for, and Lev8 dynamically searches, verifies, and structures the results for you.
Use Parallel when you are building an AI application and need web search infrastructure through an API. Use Lev8 when you want to search directly without building the infrastructure yourself. Lev8 handles the search workflow from natural-language intent to verified, structured results.
No. Lev8 is designed to be driven by natural language. You describe the people, companies, or information you’re looking for, and Lev8 handles the search and research workflow. Parallel is primarily an API platform intended to be integrated into applications, agents, and workflows.
Yes. Lev8 is designed for entity discovery, including people and companies. You can specify multiple conditions in natural language and search dynamically for entities that match your requirements.
No. Lev8 takes a search-first approach and can search across web sources directly instead of requiring users to assemble multiple third-party data providers.
The pricing models are different. Parallel uses pay-as-you-go API pricing, with Search API requests currently priced from $0.001 to $0.005 depending on the search configuration. Lev8 uses a subscription model with included credits.
