The short answer

Tomba : Finder plus verifier on one meter, with catch-all and MCP. From $49/mo
Anymail Finder : MCP finder at a similar paid start. From $29/mo

LeadMagic : Pay-per-valid-result API if you care more about credits than an interface. From $49.99/mo

Why people look past Hunter

Built around work email, so it is not a mobile-number product.

What we noted

Work email rather than mobile numbers
No sequencer
Credit caps on the entry plan

Not the right fit for

Teams that need mobiles as the core product
Buyers who want a sequencer in the same login

Worth keeping in mind: The default finder API, with MCP and a widely used free Chrome extension.

What each one does differently

Tomba

$49/mo Free tier Free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: Finder plus verifier on one meter, with catch-all and MCP.

Stands out: Finder, verifier, and catch-all on one credit meter, plus hosted MCP.

Watch out: Phone lookups cost five credits each, so phone-heavy work burns the meter fast.

Best for

Recruiters who want find and verify in one bill
Desks using MCP or the REST API
Teams that need catch-all resolution

Anymail Finder

$29/mo MCP API

Why it comes up: MCP finder at a similar paid start.

Stands out: A straightforward finder that does not require a LinkedIn profile to work from.

Watch out: Email only (no phone numbers), and the free credits require card details.

Best for

List building from names and company domains
Enrichment jobs that are not LinkedIn-based
Teams that want MCP on a simple finder

Snov.io

$39/mo Free tier Free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: Adds send if you do not want a separate sequencer.

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.

Best for

Small outbound teams that want data plus send
Desks mixing email and LinkedIn
Buyers who want a public $39 start and a trial

LeadMagic

$49.99/mo MCP API

Why it comes up: Pay-per-valid-result API if you care more about credits than an interface.

Stands out: Pay-per-valid-result enrichment with hosted MCP and a public API.

Watch out: It enriches but does not send, so a sequencer is still needed.

Best for

RevOps and sourcers enriching over API
Teams that want pay-per-valid-result, not a heavy interface
MCP enrichment in agent workflows
