How we grade them
| 2.2GPAFindymailFair | 2.8GPAHunterGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CNo prices on record, as the pricing page turned our reader away, so it sits at the ordinary grade with no five-person figure. An email costs 1 finder credit and a phone number 10, charged only when found. | AStarter is $34 a month billed yearly for the whole team, about $6.80 a head for five, under 60% of this category's cheaper quarter ($34). That buys 2,000 credits a month, shared: an email found costs 1, a check 0.5. |
| Free plan and trial | CA free account with 10 credits to test it, and no card needed. Enough to see whether the addresses hold up, not much more. | CA free plan with 50 credits a month that reset, basic filters, 1 email account and unlimited team members. Fine for a taste, but 50 lookups won't last a working week. |
| Features | CAn email finder and verifier, a phone finder, a plain-language company search, employees by job title, signals and tech lookup, all with an API. The gap: no browser extension or integrations on record. | CDomain search, an email finder and verifier, a lead database, cold email sequences, an API and an MCP server. It does the email job fully, but that's a smaller job: the pricing page lists no phone lookups. |
| Ease of use | BNo App Store rating on record, but the main job needs nothing set up: type a name and company, or paste a profile link, and get a verified email back. | BNo App Store rating on record, but this is about as simple as the category gets: type a company domain and the addresses come up, or click the extension on the site you're on. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb only, with an API and webhooks. The listing names no integrations, no browser extension and no phone app. | BWeb, Chrome and Firefox extensions and a Google Sheets add-on, with HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho CRM, Zapier and Clay, plus an API. No desktop or phone apps. |
| Best for | verified emails, charged only when found | work emails for a whole team on one bill |
