Which one is for you

Pick BetterContact if

  • Fits if you want one tool to try many data sources for an email or phone
  • Works for people who only want to pay for contacts that verify

Look elsewhere if

  • Tight if you need phones: a mobile number costs 10 credits, so Starter buys about 20
  • Skip it if you want a free plan, since you only get 50 sign-up credits
  • Pricey if you grow: the top plan starts at $799 a month above 20,000 credits
  • Watch out: unused credits roll over only up to twice your monthly amount, and phone verification isn't on Starter

Pick Findymail if

  • Fits if bounced emails are your biggest worry
  • Works for developers adding email and phone lookups to their own tools by API

Look elsewhere if

  • Pricey if you work alone, as the cheapest plan is $99 a month for one seat
  • Skip it if you prospect from LinkedIn in the browser, since no extension is on record
  • Pricey if you're after phone numbers, at 10 credits each against 1 for an email
  • Watch out: usage limits aren't published as numbers, and at the limit you wait or upgrade
  • Not for you if you want it wired into a CRM, as no integrations are on record, only an API and webhooks

How this page was made

  • The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
  • The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
  • Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
  • The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
