LeadMagic vs Findymail
LeadMagic
Best priced per operation $99/Findymail
Best bounce guarantee $99/They now cost the same per email, $0.0198 each, so the rate card no longer separates them on the thing most teams buy, and two things still do. Findymail is the only provider here that refunds credits if your bounce rate goes above 5%, which matters if deliverability is a number you report on. LeadMagic is half the price per mobile, $0.099 against $0.198, charges nothing for a failed lookup, and ships an MCP server on every plan. Email-first and deliverability-led, take Findymail; phone-first, take LeadMagic.
Where they actually differ
Every value comes from the same record that drives the Enrichment APIs listing, so this table cannot disagree with the cards. Accented tags are data one provider returns and the other does not.

The same workload, priced both ways
Computed from each provider's published entry-plan rate. The monthly floor is shown separately, because at low volume the floor is the bill.

Rates read from each vendor's own pricing page between 8 and 14 October 2026. Bulk figures assume the entry-plan rate holds at that volume, which in practice means moving up a plan tier.
Pick each one when
LeadMagic
- You need mobile numbers, including in the EU.
- You want a stated credit cost for every operation.
- An MCP server on the cheapest plan matters.
Findymail
- Deliverability is the thing you are judged on.
- Your list is European.
- You want verification included in the find, not billed separately.
Neither vendor publishes a match rate you could hold them to, so the rate card only tells you half the story. Take 500 rows from the segment you actually sell into, run them through a trial or entry plan from each side, verify both result sets, and divide spend by survivors. Half a day and about $20, and on a close pair it changes the answer often enough to be worth it.
What each one costs, tier by tier
Only one of these two publishes a rate card. LeadMagic lists its tiers, and Findymail publishes an entry price and stops there, so half of this comparison is a number you have to go and get. Every figure is read off the vendor's own pricing page, and the pages they came from are listed at the foot of this one.
| The short version | LeadMagic | Findymail |
|---|---|---|
| Cheapest paid plan | Essential, $99 | Not published |
| Tiers published | 4 | None |
| Free tier | No free tier. Essential starts at $99 for 5,000 credits, and failed lookups cost nothing. | A free account with 10 credits and no card, which this directory counts as a trial rather than a free tier |
| Unit cost at entry | $0.0198 per credit | $0.0198 per credit |
The cheapest paid plan is rarely the plan you end up on, because what moves you up a tier is usually volume rather than a feature. The two rate cards below are what you are choosing between.
LeadMagic
LeadMagic publishes 4 tiers, one of them free, and the paid ladder runs from $99 to Higher.
Essential
- $83/mo billed annually, $990 a year, saving $198
- $0.0198 a credit, or $0.0165 on the annual 60,000
- 3 seats sharing one credit pool
- Rollover up to 2 months
Growth
- $208/mo billed annually
- $0.0124 a credit, or $0.0104 on the annual 240,000
- 5 seats, one shared pool
Professional
- $0.0100 a credit, or $0.0083 on the annual 600,000
- The published floor is $0.007 a credit at volume
Free tier
- No way to measure your own match rate before paying
- The clearest gap in an otherwise clear rate card
Findymail
Findymail publishes an entry price and nothing above it, so there is no rate card to put here. The published figure is $99/mo, and nothing above it is on the pricing page.
Get these in writing before you sign: the per-unit rate at your volume, the annual minimum, how many seats that price assumes, whether API access is included or an add-on. Without the first two you cannot compare this against anything else on this page.
What LeadMagic and Findymail cost at your volume
Put your own volume in. The model picks the cheapest published plan that covers it on each side, which is the question a rate card cannot answer and the one that decides the bill.
LeadMagic
Priced on the volume you use, so the plan that covers a normal month is the one that decides the bill.
Findymail
Publishes an entry price and no ladder above it, so the figure below is a floor rather than a forecast.
Plans are read from each vendor's own pricing page and the model picks the cheapest one that covers you, so these are list prices before any discount you negotiate and before annual billing, which most of these vendors discount. Findymail publishes an entry price with no ladder above it, so the figure shown is the floor rather than your bill.
What a year costs at three volumes
The same plan-fit arithmetic as the model above, run out to a year, because an annual number is what a budget actually asks for. Every column moves with volume, because all of these meter usage rather than seats.
| A year at | LeadMagic | Findymail |
|---|---|---|
| 1,000 a month | $1,188 Essential | $1,188 |
| 10,000 a month | $2,988 Growth | $1,188 |
| 50,000 a month | Quoted | $1,188 |
2 of the 2 providers here publish enough to be put in this table. These are list prices on the published plan that covers each volume, so they are the number before you negotiate and before annual billing, which most of these vendors discount by between a fifth and a half.
How this plays out once it is running
This one splits cleanly on what you are buying. Findymail is cheaper per email and puts a refund behind its bounce rate, which is the only deliverability guarantee with a remedy attached anywhere in this directory. LeadMagic is cheaper per mobile by 37%, publishes a cost for every operation, and ships an MCP server on its cheapest plan.
So it is email-first against phone-first, and the multiple makes that decision for you. A 2,000-contact month costs $39.60 in emails at Findymail against $50 at LeadMagic. The same month with 500 mobiles costs $99 at Findymail and $62.50 at LeadMagic. Work out your mix before you look at either homepage.
What each one is genuinely good at
Not a feature list. These are the things that make somebody keep paying after the novelty has worn off, which is a different question from what the marketing page leads with.
LeadMagic
Mobile at half the credit cost, and it sells EU numbers
Five credits against Findymail's 10, and at $0.0198 a credit that is about 10 cents a number against roughly 20. Findymail also does not sell EU mobiles at all, so for a European calling motion this is not a price comparison.
A stated credit cost for every operation
Email finder 1, mobile 5, validation 0.25, job change 3. You can cost the month before you sign, and credits are deducted on valid results only, so a hard segment does not quietly multiply your effective rate.
An MCP server on the cheapest plan
Bundled with every tier. Findymail publishes none, so an agent-driven build has one option in this pairing.
Findymail
A refundable bounce guarantee
If your bounce rate exceeds 5% on Findymail emails, the credits are refunded. Nothing else in this directory puts money behind an accuracy claim, and if deliverability is a number somebody owns, that is a different kind of commitment from a published accuracy percentage.
Verification happens at find time
Every email is verified in real time as it is found, so there is no second step, no second vendor and no window where a stale address slips through. LeadMagic sells validation at 0.25 credits as its own operation, which is cheap and is still something you have to build.
Rollover to twice your allowance, and no charge for duplicates
Unused credits roll to double your monthly figure, and an email found in the last 30 days is not charged again. LeadMagic banks credits for two months, which is good and is the narrower of the two policies.
Where each one falls down
Every provider on this site has a case it handles badly, and the people who find out are the ones who bought it for that case. These are the ones worth knowing before you sign rather than after.
LeadMagic
No free tier at any price
Essential starts at $99 for 5,000 credits, so the first measurement of your own match rate costs money. That is the clearest gap in an otherwise unusually transparent rate card.
No deliverability guarantee
Credits come off on valid results only, which protects you from paying for misses and says nothing about whether the valid ones land. Findymail is the only provider here putting a refund behind that.
Rate limits are account-wide
Five requests a second on Professional and 10 on Ultimate, shared across every key. Two pipelines on one account share the ceiling.
Findymail
No EU mobile numbers at all
Not a coverage weakness, an exclusion. For a European calling motion this rules Findymail out regardless of everything else on the page, and it is the single most important line in this comparison.
A phone costs ten credits
Twice LeadMagic's charge. On a phone-heavy motion that is the line that dominates the bill, and it compounds with the EU exclusion.
No documented MCP server, and no published per-operation rate card
Findymail publishes the credit costs for emails and phones and does not break the surface down the way LeadMagic does, so the forecast is coarser.
Using LeadMagic and Findymail together
A two-way comparison assumes the answer is one of them. On this pairing it often is not, and the arrangement below is what teams actually end up running.
These are close enough on price that running both is about coverage rather than cost, and the honest split is by what you are asking for.
Findymail first for work emails, because verification is included and the bounce refund means a miss is somebody else's problem. LeadMagic for phone numbers, especially in Europe, where Findymail simply does not sell them. Neither charges on a miss, so the ordering is cheap to get wrong and worth testing both ways.
If you only want one, the question is whether you dial. An email-first motion that is judged on bounce rate should take Findymail; anything that needs mobile numbers in the EU has one option here.
LeadMagic or Findymail, for you
Five questions, answered from the same records as the rest of this page. Nothing is sent anywhere and there is no result to email yourself.
Each answer leans one way. The recommendation appears here once you have picked at least two.
A tool like this can only weigh what is on the page. It does not know your segment, and the one test that does is the bake-off further down: real rows, cheapest entry on each side, spend divided by survivors.
Where an answer leans on a certification or an integration, it means that vendor publishes it on the pages this directory read, which is not the same as the other one lacking it. The sources are listed at the foot of the page.
Where the data comes from, and what you may do with it
The question that arrives late and expensively is not how good the data is, it is who is allowed to hold it. These are the fields each one returns, the coverage it claims and the compliance it publishes.
| Provider | Fields returned | Coverage | Compliance | Redistribution |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LeadMagic | Work email, Mobile phone, Firmographics, Job postings, Job changes, LinkedIn profile | Global | GDPR DPA | Not stated |
| Findymail | Work email, Mobile phone, LinkedIn profile | Strongest in EMEA | GDPR DPA | Not stated |
None of these states a redistribution position on its pricing or docs pages. Internally that never matters. Put the rows in something your customers can see and it becomes the question your legal team asks first.
Two practical notes that apply to every provider on this page. A compliance badge describes the vendor, not your use of it, so a GDPR DPA does not give you a lawful basis for the outreach you send. And every one of these vendors runs its own opt-out, which means a person who asks you to delete their record has to be removed from your copy as well as from theirs.
Moving between LeadMagic and Findymail
Most readers of this page are already on one of these two. A swap is four hours of code and a month of watching, and the order below is the one that catches the expensive mistakes while they are still free.
Measure the thing you are about to lose
Run 500 rows you already have through LeadMagic and record the match rate, the fields that came back populated and the cost. Without that number a migration cannot be judged, because every provider looks cheaper per unit than the one you are paying for today.
Check the fields, not the field count
Findymail does not return Firmographics, Job postings and Job changes, which LeadMagic does. If anything downstream reads firmographics, that is a change to your pipeline and not just to your vendor.
Rewrite the auth and the limits, in that order
LeadMagic authenticates with API key in the X-API-Key header. Findymail uses bearer token.
The limits are the part that bites later. LeadMagic rate: 5 req/s account-wide on Professional, 10 req/s on Ultimate.
Findymail rate: Published per plan in the docs, not on the pricing page. A loop tuned to the first will either crawl or get throttled on the second.
Run both for one billing cycle
Keep the old key live and route a slice of real traffic to the new one. A month is the shortest honest test, because credit expiry, rollover and the overage rate only show up at renewal and those are where the surprises live.
Cancel on the renewal date, not before
Credits on most of these plans do not survive a downgrade. Check what happens to the balance you have already paid for, and time the switch so you are not buying the same records twice.
The step people skip is the first one, and it is the only one that cannot be done after the fact. Once the old key is off you have nothing to compare the new match rate against, so a provider that is quietly worse on your segment looks like a provider that is fine.
What practitioners say about Findymail
The one part of this page that is not a vendor claim. The comment below makes its point in crude words, so we summarize it in our own words and link the thread. A Reddit claim is a signal rather than a fact, so nothing here is the only source for a figure on this page.
Run the bake-off yourself, because the answer is list-specific
In our words: Asked which email finder to buy, a seller answers that the tools are much the same, and that an hour spent trying each one's free credits on a few real prospects settles it better than any recommendation.
r/sales · March 2025 · summarized rather than quoted
The same conclusion this page reaches. Match rate is a property of your list, not of a vendor, so the only number that decides this is the one you measure on your own rows. Every provider on this page except LeadMagic has a free tier or a trial you can run that test on.
The thread it comes from is also the clearest example of why these blocks are scoped the way they are: it is a "best email finder" question, and most of the replies are people naming the tool they sell. The one worth reading is the one that tells you not to trust any of them.
14 threads read on 13 October 2026, searched by vendor name. Scores and dates are the comment's own. Nothing here is the only source for a price or a limit on this site: every figure in the tables above comes from a vendor's own page.

LeadMagic and Findymail, answered
Read from the same records that drive the table above.
Is LeadMagic or Findymail cheaper?
They start at the same price, $99/mo each. Per unit it is $0.02 per credit against $0.02 per credit, which is the figure that decides it at volume.
Can I try LeadMagic and Findymail for free?
LeadMagic: No free tier. Essential starts at $99 for 5,000 credits, and failed lookups cost nothing. Findymail: A free account with 10 credits and no card, which this directory counts as a trial rather than a free tier.
What are the rate limits on LeadMagic and Findymail?
LeadMagic: 5 req/s account-wide on Professional, 10 req/s on Ultimate. Findymail: Published per plan in the docs, not on the pricing page.
Do LeadMagic and Findymail both have MCP servers?
One of them. LeadMagic ships one (Bundled with every plan); Findymail documents none.
Which is better, LeadMagic or Findymail?
They now cost the same per email, $0.0198 each, so the rate card no longer separates them on the thing most teams buy, and two things still do. Findymail is the only provider here that refunds credits if your bounce rate goes above 5%, which matters if deliverability is a number you report on.
What are the downsides of LeadMagic and Findymail?
Measured against each other rather than in general. LeadMagic: there is no free tier, so you cannot measure your own match rate before paying. Findymail: there is no free tier, only a trial, so test your own list inside its limits before paying; there is no documented MCP server, so an agent has to go through your own code.
Can you use LeadMagic and Findymail together?
These are close enough on price that running both is about coverage rather than cost, and the honest split is by what you are asking for.
Can I migrate from LeadMagic to Findymail without losing data?
Not without losing a field. Findymail does not return firmographics, job postings and job changes, which LeadMagic does, so anything downstream that reads it has to change. Either way, measure your match rate on 500 rows before you switch, because that number is the one you cannot recover afterwards.
