Argorant vs Snov.io

Same facts, side by side: starting price, free tier, MCP, API and what each one is actually built for.

Starting price

Argorant

$49/mo 14 day free trial

Cold email platform that pairs a 626.5M-contact B2B database with sending from your own Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 mailboxes. Every work email is checked live against the mail server at export, and only deliverable contacts use a credit. Plans start at $49/mo after a 14-day free trial; for recruiters it fits winning employer clients, not finding candidates.

Where Argorant fits

  • Agency recruiters building business development lists of owners, HR directors and hiring managers
  • Staffing desks that want list building and cold email sending on one bill
  • Teams that want Claude, ChatGPT or Codex to build and launch outbound campaigns over MCP
  • Desks targeting European employers, with filters down to city level across 202 countries

Snov.io

$39/mo Free tier Free trial

Find, verify and send on one bill, including LinkedIn, from $39/mo with a seven-day trial of everything.

Where Snov.io fits

  • Small outbound teams that want data plus send
  • Desks mixing email and LinkedIn
  • Buyers who want a public $39 start and a trial
  • MCP users who still want an interface

Where they pull apart

Argorant

Stands out: Verification happens at the moment of export rather than when the record was added, and the bill follows it: invalid or unverifiable addresses are filtered out at zero credits, re-checking a recent contact is free, and searches, counts and previews never cost anything. Data, mailboxes, warm-up, a shared reply inbox and a full MCP server all come in the $49/mo Starter plan.

Watch out: There is no permanent free plan: the 14-day trial gives 100 credits and 300 campaign emails, then campaigns pause until you pay. Mobile and direct dial numbers start on the $249/mo Pro plan at 10 credits each, so on Starter you get work emails and company switchboard numbers only. The vendor says plainly it covers employers and decision makers, not candidates, and its filters are firmographic with no live vacancy feed, so you bring your own hiring signal.

Not the right fit for

  • Candidate sourcing or outreach to job seekers
  • Small budgets that need direct dials, which start on the $249/mo plan
  • Teams looking for a permanent free plan

Snov.io

Stands out: Finder, drip campaigns and LinkedIn on a single credit bill, with MCP.

Watch out: Warmup and send volume do not match dedicated mailbox infrastructure.

Not the right fit for

  • Agencies farming large mailbox pools
  • Enterprise data buyers

What each one costs

Argorant

$49/mo

Starter is $49/mo with 2,000 credits and 25,000 campaign emails a month, Pro $249/mo with 25,000 credits and 300,000 emails, Scale $449/mo with 100,000 credits and 600,000 emails, and Hyperscale $649/mo with 200,000 credits and 1,000,000 emails, with 20% off on annual billing. One credit is one contact with a deliverable work email; checking an address from your own list costs half a credit, and invalid results cost nothing. Phone reveals start on Pro at 10 credits each, charged only when a number comes back. Pay-as-you-go packs run from 500 credits for $17.50 to 100,000 for $499, last 365 days and need no subscription, but campaigns need a plan. A 14-day free trial includes 100 credits and 300 campaign emails with no card. Confirm current terms on the vendor site.
