The tool claims roughly 5x lower cost than PitchBook and ZoomInfo by pricing per call instead of per seat.
Why now: The founders' benchmark numbers are less than a day old, published alongside the August 25 Product Hunt launch and not yet tested by anyone outside the company.
akta.pro, built by Wokelo AI, reached #1 on Product Hunt on August 25 with 175 votes. It sells API access to data on more than 20 million companies, priced per call instead of by seat or annual contract. The founders claim 5x lower cost on company data and 10x lower on news monitoring. They name PitchBook, ZoomInfo, and Apollo as the incumbents they're undercutting.
They also claim an F1 score of 81.3, against a range of 46.4 to 62.5 for SerpAPI, NewsAPI, Perigon, and Parallel on the same benchmark. Product Hunt corroborates the listing and vote count. It doesn't independently verify the accuracy numbers or the pricing comparison. Both come from the company itself.
Data SaaS has been one of the few software categories AI hasn't cracked. The value sat in the corpus a company spent years building, not in the query interface on top of it. A pay-per-call API doesn't threaten the corpus. It threatens the contract structure built around it. If the accuracy claims hold under outside testing, the pressure falls on PitchBook and ZoomInfo's pricing teams before it reaches their data teams.
