vs
Subscription credits vs pay-per-lookup APIFindymail Pricing and Credits, Plus a Per-Lookup Alternative
Findymail is good at what it sells. The Chrome extension, the bulk uploads and the native CRM writes are why teams buy it, and a find that returns nothing costs nothing. What differs is the shape of the purchase: a subscription with its own credit pools, its own rollover cap and its own cancellation rule, against single API calls on one shared balance.
Findymail is a B2B contact finder sold as monthly or annual subscription credits: a Chrome extension for LinkedIn and Sales Navigator, bulk uploads, CRM writes and an API that turn a profile, a domain or a name into a verified work email. 1Lookup sells the same job as individual API calls on one shared credit balance, starting with LinkedIn Email Finder at 30 credits, charged only on a match.
The Findymail jobs, priced per lookup
Each card is one API call on the same universal credit balance, billed on the result rather than the request. Follow any of them for the full field list and the response shape.

1Lookup vs Findymail: the same criteria, side by side
Both products measured on identical criteria, with Findymail’s numbers taken from its own published pricing.
- Findymail · Starts at
- $49/month for 1,000 credits (Basic), which is $0.049 per email found or $0.49 per phone number. The plan most of their pages lead with is Starter at $99/month for 5,000 finder credits plus 5,000 bonus verifier credits, $0.0198 per email found; $990/year billed annually
- 1Lookup: $99/mo for 20,000 credits ($4.95 per 1,000, down to $2.00 on Enterprise)
- Findymail · Cheapest published per 1,000
- $16.50 at their largest published tier
- 1Lookup: $2.00 per 1,000 at 1,000,000 lookups/mo
- Findymail · Free trial
- The 10 free sign-up credits are the trial; no time-limited trial of a paid plan is advertised. Separately they publish a results guarantee rather than a trial: "If your bounce rate exceeds 5% with emails from Findymail, we refund your credits"
- 1Lookup: 7-day free trial on every plan: $5 of credits on Starter, $20 on Growth, Professional, and Enterprise (card required, nothing charged up front)
- Findymail · Do credits expire?
- Yes, in two ways. While subscribed, unused credits roll over but the account balance is capped at twice the plan allowance and the excess is dropped: "The total number of credits in your account, however, cannot exceed twice your plan allowance." On cancellation the whole balance is wiped: "If you cancel your subscription, your credits will be reset to 0 at the end of the billing period." Downgrading immediately re-caps the balance to 2x the new, smaller plan. Annual credits are granted upfront and run for the 12-month term
- 1Lookup: Unused monthly credits roll over for 3 months; separately purchased credits last 1 year
| Criteria | 1Lookup | Findymail |
|---|---|---|
| Contact-data coverage | EmailPhoneIP | EmailPhoneIP |
| Pricing model | Monthly plans with universal credits; core phone, email and IP lookups cost 1 credit, enrichment and intelligence products cost more | Monthly or annual subscription with two non-interchangeable credit pools. Finder credits find and verify a new contact: 1 credit per email found, 10 credits per phone number found, and nothing is charged when nothing is found. Verifier credits verify an address you brought from somewhere else and are charged on every attempt whatever the result. The two pools cannot be converted either way. Only two plan prices are published on Findymail's own properties: Basic at $49/month for 1,000 credits and Starter at $99/month for 5,000 finder credits plus a 5,000 verifier-credit bonus, with Starter Yearly at $990/year (ten months' money, the "2 months free" the pricing page advertises). The pricing page then shows a volume selector with 1k, 5k, 15k, 30k, 50k, 100k and 100k+ steps but prints a figure only at the 5k step; 15k upward and Enterprise are quote-only. Unused credits roll over month to month but the balance is capped at 2x the plan allowance, and everything above the cap disappears at renewal. Annual plans grant the whole year's credits upfront. There is no pay-as-you-go: their help centre states it plainly and points to one-time top-ups instead. A separate product, Datacare, enriches a CRM on a per-record basis rather than credits, from $500/month billed annually. |

1Lookup
$299/mo

At 60,000 a month, 1Lookup is $691 cheaper, and the credits also cover phone, email and IP rather than one of them.

Before you sign: Findymail and 1Lookup on the operational terms
The terms that decide what a year actually costs, rather than what the first month does. A blank means we could not verify it on either product’s published pages, not that the answer is nothing.
| Term | 1Lookup | Findymail |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum commitment | None. Monthly plans with no contract and no minimum volume; cancel any time | None for the self-serve plans: Basic and Starter are sold monthly and downgrade is self-serve, "you can downgrade any moment by using the downgrade button on your Subscription page". The terms set auto-renewal as the default, "your subscription will automatically renew for the shorter of the same duration as your prior term or one year", with 30 days' notice required to stop it. Datacare is annual, "Starting from $500/month billed annually". Enterprise terms are quote-only. |
| Cost per extra seat | — | No per-seat price published. "Team accounts" is listed as an included feature on the pricing page, and no seat count, seat cap or add-on seat rate appears on any page we could load. |
| Going over your quota | — | A hard stop on every plan below Enterprise: "API requests fail. Requests made while out of credits are rejected" and "The Chrome extension and web app stop returning results until credits are added." There is no automatic overage rate. Auto Refill "automatically purchases additional credits when your balance falls below a defined threshold, at the same unit price as your current plan", checked hourly, but it "is available on Enterprise plans (100k credits and above)". Everyone else buys a one-time top-up or upgrades. |
| API access | Included on every plan and during the free trial; there is no tier that unlocks it | Included on every account with no tier gate and no extra charge. "Free API access" is listed on the pricing plan and the API page says "Sign up for free and get your API key in seconds. No credit card required." Auth is a bearer token generated in-app. Documented endpoints cover the email finder, verifier, phone search, company and employee search, reverse email lookup, lookalike search, technologies and a credits endpoint. Webhooks are supported for async results. Bulk work is done by CSV or XLS upload in the app rather than a bulk endpoint. |
| Rate limit | 1,000 requests per minute on standard accounts, with higher limits available on request | Published in the API docs and not described as varying by plan: "all endpoints have a concurrent rate limit of 300 simultaneous requests". Per-endpoint limits are tighter: Find from Domain is limited to 5 concurrent synchronous requests with async jobs allowed up to 24 hours, Find from Business Profile to 30 concurrent requests, and the Technologies lookup to 10 requests per minute. No requests-per-second figure is published. |
| Uptime SLA | — | "99%+ Uptime" is printed on the API pages as a marketing figure, described on their API page as a "99%+ uptime SLA". No contractual SLA document, credit schedule or status page was found, so treat it as a claim rather than a contract term. |
| Compliance | — | SOC 2 Type 2 and GDPR, both stated as homepage badges alongside "Hosted in the EU". Data residency is specific: "Findymail's main servers are managed by Hetzner Online GmbH and located in Finland" and "We store and process all our data exclusively in the EU", with AWS servers in France and Ireland named in the DPA. The published legal basis is legitimate interest, with a self-serve opt-out portal. A DPA, a CCPA page and a sub-processor list are published. No ISO 27001 claim appears on any page we could load, and the SOC 2 claim appears only as a homepage badge with no trust centre, report or auditor published. |
| Support | Starter: Email Support; Growth: Priority Email & Chat Support; Professional: Chat + Live Meeting; Enterprise: Dedicated CSM | Email support and a public help centre. The pricing page reserves "Priority Support" and a "Dedicated Account Manager" for Enterprise. No per-tier channel matrix is published. |
Findymail fine print worth reading twice
Published terms that change what Findymail costs or what you can do with it. Each one links to the Findymail page it was read on, because a claim about somebody else’s contract should be checkable in one click.
Cancelling wipes the balance: "If you cancel your subscription, your credits will be reset to 0 at the end of the billing period." Credits are an allowance tied to an active subscription, not a prepaid product.
Read it on Findymail’s siteRollover is capped and the excess is destroyed: "The total number of credits in your account, however, cannot exceed twice your plan allowance." A downgrade immediately re-caps the balance to 2x the smaller plan.
Read it on Findymail’s siteVerifier credits are charged whether or not the verification succeeds: "You will be charged for each email verification, regardless of the outcome." Findymail's own email-verifier marketing page states the opposite: "You only pay for emails we successfully verify, failed verifications don't cost credits."
Read it on Findymail’s siteFinder and verifier credits are separate pools and cannot be moved between them: "it's not possible to convert your finder credits to verifier credits, or your verifier credits to finder credits."
Read it on Findymail’s siteThere is no pay-as-you-go option: "Findymail does not offer a pay-as-you-go option. However, we do provide one-time top-up credits." A subscription is required to use the API at all.
Read it on Findymail’s siteA phone number costs ten times an email: "1 phone number found = 10 finder credits", so a 5,000-credit plan buys 5,000 emails or 500 phone numbers.
Read it on Findymail’s sitePhone numbers are unavailable for EU contacts: "Due to GDPR regulations, we do not provide phone numbers for contacts in the European Union." Mobile-only filtering is also unavailable.
Read it on Findymail’s siteRunning out of credits is a hard stop below Enterprise: "Requests made while out of credits are rejected", and Auto Refill "is available on Enterprise plans (100k credits and above)".
Read it on Findymail’s siteSubscriptions auto-renew and payments are not refundable: renewal is automatic unless stopped 30 days ahead, and "All payment obligations are non-cancelable and all amounts paid are non-refundable."
Read it on Findymail’s siteOnly two plan prices are published anywhere on Findymail's own properties, $49/month for 1,000 credits and $99/month for 5,000. The pricing selector's 15k, 30k, 50k, 100k and 100k+ steps and the Enterprise plan carry no figure.

Where Findymail wins
- Charged on the result, not the request: "You will only be charged 1 credit when we successfully find an email address. If no email is found, you won't be charged any credits." Phone lookups behave the same way at 10 credits, so a miss costs nothing
- Re-finding the same contact inside 30 days is free: their help centre states "you don't use another credit for emails you already found in the last 30 days", so repeated enrichment of the same list is not repeatedly billed
- Most of the product is reachable without writing code: a Chrome extension for LinkedIn and Sales Navigator, CSV and XLS bulk upload of "lists of any size", a Google Sheets integration, native CRM writes to HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho, Close and Copper, sequencer pushes to Instantly, Smartlead, Lemlist and Woodpecker, plus Zapier and Make
- The finder verifies before it returns, so there is no second verification tool in the loop, and they back it with a published refund: "Under 5% bounce rate, guaranteed - or we refund your credits"
- The API key is free and self-serve on any account, including the free 10-credit one: "Sign up for free and get your API key in seconds. No credit card required." The response shape can be inspected before any money moves
- One credit pool covers a wide surface rather than a single lookup: email finder, email verifier, phone finder, company enrichment, reverse email lookup, employee search, technographics, lookalike search, and intent-signal monitors with webhook callbacks
- A defensible EU story for European buyers: "We store and process all our data exclusively in the EU", main servers at Hetzner Online GmbH in Finland with AWS in France and Ireland, a published DPA and sub-processor list, a self-serve opt-out portal, and a SOC 2 Type 2 badge on the homepage
Where 1Lookup wins
- One credit balance across the whole catalog: a work email found from a LinkedIn URL, an address validated, a phone number's line type checked and an IP screened all spend the same credits
- Success billing with one visible price per job: 30 credits when a verified work email comes back from a profile URL, nothing when it does not
- Checking data you already hold is a product, not a by-product: email deliverability, phone line type, carrier and HLR status, and IP risk are their own endpoints
- No seats and no plan tier to sit inside: the bill follows lookups rather than headcount, and every product that suits a list also runs as a bulk CSV job

Who this is for
A quick, honest read on which tool fits your use case.
Choose 1Lookup if: you want a verified work email from a LinkedIn profile URL as one per-lookup call on the same credit balance as phone, email, and IP validation, with no subscription tier to sit inside.
Consider Findymail instead if: your team works lists rather than endpoints: a browser extension on LinkedIn and Sales Navigator, CSV uploads of any size, and native writes into six CRMs are the actual workflow, and you want phone numbers from the same credits.
Frequently asked questions
What is Findymail used for?
Outbound teams use it to turn a LinkedIn profile, a company domain or a name into a work email, usually from the Chrome extension while browsing LinkedIn or Sales Navigator, or in bulk from a CSV. The same credits also buy phone numbers, company and employee search, reverse email lookups and technographics, and the results write straight into HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho, Close and Copper, or push into Instantly, Smartlead, Lemlist and Woodpecker.
How much does Findymail cost per month?
It is a monthly or annual subscription with credits, not a rate card. Only two plan prices are published anywhere on Findymail's own properties, and the pricing page's larger volume steps and its Enterprise plan print no figure at all, so above that second step you are quoted. Both published prices, the annual figure and the per-1,000 rates they work out to are in the verified pricing table on this page, each with the source link it was read from.
Is Findymail legit?
Yes. It is a real self-serve product with published pricing, a public help centre, a free API key issued on signup, a data processing agreement, a named sub-processor list, EU-only data processing and a self-serve opt-out portal. Two things are worth checking before you commit: the SOC 2 Type 2 claim appears as a homepage badge with no report, auditor or trust portal published behind it, and their help centre and their email-verifier marketing page directly contradict each other on whether a failed verification is charged. The help centre is the page that governs your bill.
Does Findymail have a Chrome extension?
Yes, for LinkedIn and Sales Navigator, and it is a large part of why teams buy it. 1Lookup ships no browser extension at all. If your reps work profile by profile inside LinkedIn, that is a genuine reason to choose Findymail and this page is not going to pretend otherwise. 1Lookup covers the programmatic side: one endpoint, a profile URL in, a verified work email out, with the same products available as bulk CSV jobs.
Does Findymail have an API?
Yes, and the key is free and self-serve on any account including the free signup credits, so the response shape can be inspected before money moves. The constraint is that there is no pay-as-you-go: past the signup credits, calling the API at all means holding a subscription, and running out of credits rejects requests outright on every plan below their top tier. 1Lookup's LinkedIn Email Finder is a single endpoint on a shared credit balance, 30 credits charged only on a match.
What is the best Findymail alternative?
It depends which half of the job you are buying. If the work is building and working a list inside a browser extension, the closest swaps are other finders such as Prospeo and FullEnrich. If you already know who you are looking up and want it as an API call, 1Lookup's LinkedIn Email Finder returns a verified work email from a public profile URL for 30 credits, charged only on a match, on the same balance that runs email, phone and IP validation.
Where does Findymail beat 1Lookup?
Distribution and workflow. The extension, bulk uploads of lists of any size, the Google Sheets integration, native writes into six CRMs and pushes into four sequencers mean most of the product is usable by people who will never call an API, and re-finding a contact you already found inside 30 days costs nothing. They also sell phone numbers on the same credits, process data exclusively in the EU, and bundle verification into the find. 1Lookup has no extension and no prospecting database. It wins in the other direction: checking data you already hold, on one key and one balance.
Is Findymail worth it in 2026?
For an outbound team that lives in LinkedIn and a CRM, yes. Success billing on finds, free re-finds inside 30 days and EU-only processing are good terms. Budget for the mechanics rather than the sticker: finder and verifier credits are separate pools that cannot be converted either way, rollover is capped at twice your plan allowance with the excess dropped at renewal, cancelling resets the balance to zero at the end of the billing period, and phone numbers are not provided for EU contacts. If your usage is programmatic or lumpy, per-lookup pricing is the simpler shape.
