Anyone facing this issue? What's the turn around here?
I ran ~300 serper.dev queries and got about about 30 k leads Deduped the list → roughly 15–17 k unique companies
Using Claygent to tag each one: “Yes” if fintech, “No” if not (needed to prompt very nicley and cross verify it many times.
That gave me the cost of $0.02 per run.
So getting 20 k records ≈ $400 +more ai use is coming to find the job titles in those companies. - Extra cost.
That’s higher than most third‑party data vendors.
How do you keep this step affordable, do you just absorb the cost, or is there a workaround?
