Hunter : Classic domain finder if you want a better-known brand and a different free cap. From $49/mo
Icypeas : Found-email credits that never expire if rollover matters more than Maps finders. From $19/mo
Snov.io : Finder plus campaigns if you want sending in the same login. From $39/mo
Anymail Finder : Email finder if you want another credit-pack specialist. From $29/mo

Why people look past Minelead

Monthly credits never roll over. Annual credits last the year, then expire. Failed finds skip the credit charge.

What we noted

Monthly credits never roll over
Not a cold-email sequencer
Team seats stay low until Business

Not the right fit for

High-volume senders who need credits to stack on monthly billing
Teams that want LinkedIn sequences in the same tool

Worth keeping in mind: A real free-forever plan with API access, plus Google Maps, YouTube, and Twitter email finders.

What each one does differently

Hunter

$49/mo Free tier Free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: Classic domain finder if you want a better-known brand and a different free cap.

Stands out: The default finder API, with MCP and a widely used free Chrome extension.

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

Best for

Recruiters doing name-plus-domain lookup
Teams that need a finder API
Buyers who want a free tier plus MCP

Icypeas

$19/mo MCP API

Why it comes up: Found-email credits that never expire if rollover matters more than Maps finders.

Stands out: You pay only for found emails, credits never expire, and MCP sits on every paid plan.

Watch out: Prices are plus VAT. Finder credits bill only on a found email. Reverse lookup costs 10 credits per profile.

Best for

Agencies enriching lists before a send
Builders embedding email find in a product
Teams that need catch-all checks, not guesses

$29/mo MCP API

Why it comes up: Email finder if you want another credit-pack specialist.

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