The facts, with their sources
What it does
- Done-for-you service
- PartlyYou normally run the software yourself, but the vendor also sells a quoted service where its people write and run your recurring lists into your tools.
We write and run your recurring lists and deliver them into your tools, priced by quote.

How much it does unattended
- Runs autonomously
- PartlyA single run works unattended for hours and saved requests rerun on a schedule, but the buyer must approve a priced maximum before any new work starts.
A saved request reruns hourly to yearly inside spending limits, rechecks cost half, every change is labeled, and new matches arrive in Slack, email,…
specstream.ai/agents - Agent permissions
- YesAn agent's authority is bounded before it acts: named operations, one reviewed request, per-run and monthly spending limits and an expiry date, all revocable.
Limit an agent to certain operations or one reviewed request, with a per-run limit, a monthly limit and an expiry date.
specstream.ai/security
Which models it runs on
- Claude
- YesClaude is supported as a client that drives the engine over MCP, with its own setup guide; this is not a choice of underlying model.
Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any agent with MCP, or set it up by hand.
specstream.ai - GPT
- YesChatGPT is named as a supported MCP client and has a dedicated setup page, again as the caller rather than a selectable model.
Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any agent with MCP, or set it up by hand.
specstream.ai - Model choice
- PartlyAny MCP-capable agent can call the engine, so the client model is yours to pick, but the models doing the reading inside SpecStream are never named or selectable.
AI services that transcribe dictation and read requests and pages for us, with storage turned off; they may not use that content to train their models
specstream.ai/privacy
Where you use it
- In your editor
- PartlyReached indirectly: Cursor and VS Code are supported by connecting their agent to the MCP endpoint, and there is no SpecStream editor extension of its own.
Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any agent with MCP, or set it up by hand.
specstream.ai - On the command line
- YesThe Python client installs a specstream command that compiles requests and lists record families from a terminal.
The Python package installs the specstream command. Configure the same API key in your environment.
specstream.ai/docs/sdk - In a browser
- YesA hosted workspace is the primary surface, holding saved work and balance that the API and MCP share.
Use the same search, enrichment, saved work, and balance as the workspace.
specstream.ai/docs/api
Whose machine it runs on
- Self-hosted
- NoHosted only: the vendor states its servers and databases sit in the EU and offers no bring-your-own-infrastructure option on any tier, Enterprise included.
SpecStream’s servers and databases are in the European Union.
specstream.ai/privacy - Open source
- NoThe clients ship as prebuilt downloads with no repository, licence or public registry entry, and no source for the engine is offered.
Install from these downloads; the packages aren’t published to public registries.

What it costs to run
- How it meters
- YesBilling is per delivered matching row at 10c, 30c or $1, with contact details added on top; seats, searches and credits are explicitly excluded.
There is no per-seat, per-search or credit price.
specstream.ai/llms.txt - Free tier
- YesA verified account gets $10 of work once in its first 30 days with no card, and the account, API, MCP and apps stay free afterwards.
Every verified billing account gets $10 of work once, for its first 30 days, with no card. The account, the API, MCP and every app stay free after…
specstream.ai/docs/billing - API access
- YesA documented REST API with an OpenAPI schema, Python and TypeScript clients, included on every plan at the same per-row rates.
API, MCP, CLI and every app Free to connect, for good. What they run pays the same rates.
specstream.ai/pricing - MCP server
- YesA remote Streamable HTTP MCP server with OAuth or API-key auth lets another agent compile, quote and run list requests on the user's account.
MCP endpoint: https://api.specstream.ai/mcp (Streamable HTTP).
specstream.ai/agents
Buying it for a team
- A company can buy it
- YesTeam plans with 10 and 50 members are sold self-serve, and an Enterprise tier from $2,500 a month adds organisation terms and invoicing.
Single sign-on, SCIM, audit export and agreed terms for your organization.
specstream.ai/pricing - Seat model
- PartlySeats are included counts, not a price per head, so a buyer hits a member ceiling rather than paying per seat: one on Pro, ten on Scale, fifty on Team.
Plans mark who they’re for with members, never a price per person: Free, pay as you go and Pro are for one person, Scale includes 10 members, Team…
specstream.ai/docs/billing - Pooled budget
- YesOne balance covers everyone and everything on the account, so a schedule or an agent spends from the same pot as a person.
People, agents, API clients, and schedules share the same balance.
specstream.ai/docs/billing - Admin controls
- YesAdmins constrain spend and scope rather than just visibility: limits per member, project and key, plus per-project roles and scoped keys.
Set a limit for each member, each project and each key.
specstream.ai/security - Audit log
- PartlyEvery account keeps a 12-month log of sign-ins, access changes, spending and exports, but the pricing table gates audit log export to Enterprise.
Who did what Sign-ins, access changes, spending, exports, automations and list changes, filtered by kind and by person.
specstream.ai/security - Single sign-on
- PartlySAML 2.0 with Okta, Entra ID and others plus SCIM exists, but the plan table marks both as not included on Free through Team, leaving them Enterprise-only.
SAML 2.0 with Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, OneLogin, JumpCloud or any SAML provider, after you verify your domain with a DNS record.

What happens to your code
- Opt out of training
- YesNo opt-out toggle is needed because the vendor states outright that no model is fine-tuned on customer requests, lists or results, and its AI providers may not train on that content either.
No training on your work No model is fine-tuned on your requests, lists or results.
specstream.ai/security - Data residency
- YesHosting and databases are in the EU under a French controller, though payment, email, security, AI and analytics providers may access data from the US under SCCs or the Data Privacy Framework.
SpecStream’s servers and databases are in the European Union. Some service providers, such as our payment, email, network-security, AI, and analytics…
specstream.ai/privacy - Getting out
- YesLists, results and evidence export as CSV, Excel, JSON or HTML, purchased top-ups never expire, and monthly plan balance survives one extra cycle.
Take your lists, results and evidence out as CSV, Excel, JSON or HTML.
specstream.ai/security - Certifications
- PartlyGDPR is covered concretely, with a French controller, an EU processor DPA and CNIL recourse, but no SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification is claimed on the security page or anywhere else.
SpecStream reads public pages and processes the results and the imported data on the customer’s behalf, as their processor under the data processing…
