What each one does differently

Swordfish

$99/mo API

Why it comes up: Flat-fee unlimited emails and dials if credits are the pain.

Stands out: Flat-fee contact data for desks that are tired of counting credits.

Watch out: Unlimited is fair-use, and ATS integrations sit on the higher tiers.

Best for

  • Agency desks that dislike credit models
  • Phone-first recruiters who need dials
  • Individual operators on a flat fee

SalesQL

$49/mo MCP API

Why it comes up: LinkedIn browser finder if the workflow is profile-first.

Stands out: MCP on a lightweight browser finder, which is rare at this price.

Watch out: Single-source rather than a waterfall, and the integration list is thin.

Best for

  • Recruiters who work in LinkedIn all day
  • Desks pushing contacts to HubSpot or Salesforce
  • Teams that want MCP on a finder

4.3 on Capterra from 79 reviews

Findymail

$99/mo MCP API

Why it comes up: Catch-all-aware emails if phones are not the need.

Stands out: Catch-all handling is the product, which protects sending reputation.

Watch out: Higher entry price than plain finders, and email only.

Best for

  • Outbound desks damaged by catch-all addresses
  • Clay users who need a named finder
  • Teams sending through Instantly, Smartlead or Lemlist

Lead411

$49/mo 7 day free trial API

Why it comes up: Direct dials plus intent if the desk is phone-first.

Stands out: Intent signals sitting alongside the dials, at a price that undercuts the enterprise data vendors.

Watch out: No MCP, and intent data is only as useful as the market you sell into.

Best for

  • Phone-first recruiting and sales desks
  • Teams that want intent alongside dials
  • Buyers who want a 7-day trial before paying
