Store Leads
Our strongest fit recommendation for Store Leads is a team whose immediate task is deciding which stores to include in a product-based search export. Store Leads says users can export directly from a global product search. It also says users can choose between exporting the products that match the search and exporting the domains selling those products.
That choice gives your evaluation a concrete starting point: decide whether the deliverable you need is a product list or a domain list. For a domain export, Store Leads says you can include each domain's matching product count by enabling "Products Matching Search (#)" in the "Product Fields" section. We'd check whether that count belongs in your team's intended export before evaluating anything more elaborate.
Pricing: Not published on the pages we read. Ask for the price of your intended usage before making a budget decision. Store Leads's contact page invites visitors to request a demo or ask a question. Its listed contact URL is https://storeleads.app/contact.
Where Store Leads falls short
The clearest limitation for a team seeking personal contact details comes from Store Leads itself: the company says its database doesn't include personal information, and customers often use other data vendors to find contact information for stores. If your required output includes a person to contact, account for that limitation when defining the work you expect this purchase to cover.
We wouldn't treat a domain export as proof that the personal contact research is complete. That recommendation follows directly from Store Leads's stated database boundary. Evaluate the store selection task and the contact information task separately before deciding whether Store Leads fits your whole requirement.
Migration difficulty
We can't assign a migration difficulty rating from these pages. The documented export choices establish that users can select matching products or domains, but they don't establish the effort required to move your existing workflow.
For evaluation, specify your required output and whether it needs the matching product count. Store Leads documents how to include that count in a domain export. Ask about the remaining migration steps rather than assuming an export option answers every transfer question.
Trestle
Our strongest fit recommendation for Trestle is a team evaluating contact verification or identity risk decisions. Trestle describes Real Contact API as a phone verification solution that helps businesses assess lead quality and provides an actionable grade using authoritative data, a feedback network, and machine learning. Those are the vendor's claims.
Trestle says Real Contact API 2.0 builds on version 1.1's phone, email, and address verification at no additional cost. Separately, it describes Decision Signals API as a comprehensive identity verification solution supporting automated risk decisioning. Choose the evaluation task first, then ask which product addresses it.
Pricing: Trestle's pricing page describes its pricing as flexible to meet business needs. The Real Contact API 2.0 announcement's "no additional cost" statement concerns its relationship to version 1.1; it doesn't supply a starting subscription price. Confirm the rate for the specific API you plan to use before comparing costs.
Where Trestle falls short
The concrete onboarding caveat is that new users may be asked to complete a lightweight business verification step, according to Trestle. The company says it provides in-product and email guidance throughout that step. Include that possibility in your evaluation schedule rather than assuming onboarding has no verification requirement.
For teams whose central requirement is a product-based store export, we'd require a separate demonstration before selecting Trestle. Its cited Real Contact API description establishes phone verification and lead grading, while its Decision Signals description establishes identity verification for risk decisions. Neither description establishes the product export workflow documented by Store Leads.
Migration difficulty
We can't give Trestle a migration difficulty score from these pages either. Trestle says reviewers can enter from existing order management or fraud prevention systems with pre-filled details using the Trestle Link Builder Chrome extension or manually built deep links. That describes a specific reviewer entry path; it doesn't quantify your implementation effort.
Trestle also says it corrected API documentation, removed outdated references from its public Postman collection, and made error-handling guidance easier to find. Use those materials to investigate your requirements, then validate the work needed for your own workflow.
Which team fits Store Leads, and which fits Trestle?
The useful question is what your team needs to produce next. If it's a set of domains selling products that match a search, our recommendation is Store Leads because it explicitly documents that export choice. If it's an assessment of phone lead quality, our recommendation is to evaluate Trestle's Real Contact API because that is its stated purpose.
Don't infer that either purchase completes every surrounding task. Store Leads explicitly excludes personal information from its database. Trestle describes its broader mission around identity data APIs and says its recent launches and enhancements aimed to improve customer data quality and operations; that statement expresses the company's aims, not a measured outcome for your team.
Our suggested comparison is a small, concrete evaluation: define the required output, identify the relevant documented capability, and ask the vendor to demonstrate that task. Keep price and migration questions open until you have answers for your intended usage.
Which one should you choose?
Choose Store Leads if your immediate requirement is exporting matching products or the domains selling them, and you're prepared to address personal contact information separately. Store Leads documents those export options and its exclusion of personal information.
Choose Trestle if your immediate requirement is contact verification, phone lead grading, or identity verification for automated risk decisions. Those recommendations follow Trestle's descriptions of Real Contact API and Decision Signals API.

We read each company's own public pages on October 15, 2026; every factual claim links to its source.
