If your product enriched LinkedIn profiles through that API, the dependency is gone, and the real question is no longer just which proxycurl alternative is cheapest. It is whether the one you pick next is built on the same exposure that shut this one down.<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"pcu-answer\">\n<span class=\"pcu-answer-label\">The short answer<\/span>\n<div class=\"pcu-answer-text\"><span>Proxycurl built and resold a database of LinkedIn profiles collected outside any authenticated member&#8217;s own access, the exact pattern LinkedIn&#8217;s suit targeted. An account-based API such as Unipile retrieves data on behalf of each end user&#8217;s own linked LinkedIn account, scoped to what that member can already see, with no independent profile database behind it. <strong>That structural difference, not the price list, is what decides whether a replacement inherits the same risk.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<a class=\"pcu-cta\"

It was one of the more widely used LinkedIn data APIs among SaaS builders, and by its own founder's account it was doing roughly <strong>10 million USD in annual recurring revenue<\/strong> when the case that ended it was filed.<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"pcu-scroll\">\n<table>\n<thead><tr><th>Date<\/th><th>What happened<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr><td class=\"pcu-action\">January 2025<\/td><td>LinkedIn files a federal suit against Nubela, alleging hundreds of thousands of fake accounts were created to collect millions of LinkedIn profiles, which Proxycurl then resold through its API.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td class=\"pcu-action\">Mid-2025<\/td><td>The case settles, with data deletion obligations placed on Nubela.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td class=\"pcu-action\">4 July 2025<\/td><td>Proxycurl shuts down. Founder Steven Goh writes publicly: <strong>\"there is no winning in fighting this.\"<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td class=\"pcu-action\">After July 2025<\/td><td>Nubela relaunches under a new brand, Enrich Layer.<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pcu-p\"><span>The founder's own explanation for not fighting the suit points to the American Rule: even a company confident it would eventually win cannot recover its legal costs, which makes a prolonged fight against a much larger legal budget a losing proposition regardless of the merits. Whatever a replacement promises on price or coverage, that same asymmetry applies to any provider building on the same model.<\/span><\/div>\n\n<span id=\"not-isolated\" class=\"pcu-anchor\"><\/span>\n<h2>Proxycurl was not an isolated case<\/h2>\n<div class=\"pcu-p\"><span>The Nubela suit fits a pattern that predates it and has continued since. Three cases, three years apart, all target the same underlying structure: a profile database built independent of any authenticated LinkedIn member's own session.<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"pcu-list\">\n<div class=\"pcu-li\"><span class=\"pcu-dot\"><\/span><span><strong>hiQ Labs v.

What is not publicly documented is whether the data underneath the new brand is built any differently from what triggered the original suit.<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"pcu-p\"><span>That is not a claim this page can make either way, and it should not be the deciding factor for a rebrand any more than for a brand-new alternative you have never heard of. The honest answer is to apply the same check to Enrich Layer that the next section applies to every option: ask where the data comes from, not what the product is called.<\/span><\/div>\n\n<span id=\"what-to-check\" class=\"pcu-anchor\"><\/span>\n<h2>What to check before choosing a Proxycurl alternative<\/h2>\n<div class=\"pcu-p\"><span>Most comparison pages rank the options by price per lookup or by how many fields they return.

Unipile is an account-based API. Each end user links their own LinkedIn account through a hosted authentication flow, and every retrieval or action afterward runs on behalf of that authenticated member. If your product needs to resolve an arbitrary profile regardless of the requesting user's own connection to it, that capability envelope is genuinely different by design, and that difference is the point of this page, not a caveat to skip past.<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"pcu-p\"><span>For the enrichment work most Proxycurl-dependent products actually ran, the mapping looks like this:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"pcu-list\">\n<div class=\"pcu-li\"><span class=\"pcu-dot\"><\/span><span><strong>CRM enrichment:<\/strong> instead of a background job pulling from a static index, the profile a rep is already viewing, or a contact already linked in the CRM through their own account, is retrieved live and synced onto the record, on a per-user basis.<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"pcu-li\"><span class=\"pcu-dot\"><\/span><span><strong>ATS and recruiting:<\/strong> candidate profile lookups run against the recruiter's own linked account.

Unipile is an account-based API: retrieval runs on behalf of the authenticated end user's own linked LinkedIn account, scoped to what that member can already see. It is a different model with a different capability envelope, built to avoid the exposure described in this guide rather than to copy Proxycurl's reach.<\/pee><\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"upl-faq-item\">\n      <button class=\"upl-faq-question\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n        <div class=\"upl-faq-question-content\">\n          <span class=\"upl-faq-number\">08<\/span>\n          <span class=\"upl-faq-question-text\">Does Unipile store its own database of LinkedIn profiles?<\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"upl-faq-icon\">\n          <svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2.5\" stroke-linecap=\"round\"><line x1=\"12\" y1=\"5\" x2=\"12\" y2=\"19\"\/><line x1=\"5\" y1=\"12\" x2=\"19\" y2=\"12\"\/><\/svg>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/button>\n      <div class=\"upl-faq-answer\">\n        <div class=\"upl-faq-answer-content\"><pee>No. Data is retrieved live, on behalf of the authenticated user, through their own linked account's session, and passed to your product.

The Ninth Circuit found in hiQ Labs v.
