Where they pull apart

LeadMagic

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.

Not the right fit for

Recruiters who want a LinkedIn Chrome finder as the product
Buyers who need a sequencer

Tomba

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.

Not the right fit for

Teams that only want LinkedIn mobiles
High-volume phone lookup (phones cost more credits)
