The short answer
Both sides assessedSkrapp.io compared with Tomba
Tomba is the better answer for developers: named plans from 49 dollars with falling per-thousand prices, one-time purchases valid for a year, ten official SDKs, fourteen documented endpoints, and phone lookups at five credits each. Skrapp is cheaper at exactly 2,000 credits, has a real searchable database and a proper LinkedIn extension, and is easier for a non-technical user. Developers and high-volume buyers should take Tomba; salespeople working in a browser should take Skrapp.
Tomba compared with Skrapp.io
Skrapp is the better browser product and Tomba is the better API. Skrapp gives you a searchable database, a strong LinkedIn extension, and two seats for 29 dollars, with credit sizes from 2,000 to 500,000. Tomba sells named plans from 49 dollars with prices per thousand that fall with volume, and ten SDKs. If a person is doing the clicking, take Skrapp; if code is doing it, take Tomba.

| Category | Data | Data |
| Starting price | $0 (Free, 50 credits), then $29 per month on annual billing (Professional) | $0 (25 free searches per month, plus 75 free API credits on signup), then $49 per month for 5,000 credits (Basic) |
| Pricing model | Freemium subscription priced by monthly credit allowance with included seats, billed monthly or annually, with credit rollover on paid plans and daily search limits applied separately. | Named monthly credit plans on a volume slider, each split evenly between finder and verification credits, sold as a subscription (three months free on yearly billing) or as a one-time block, with an annual-contract Enterprise tier above. |

| Best for | Small sales teams, recruiters, and founders running email-only outreach who want a searchable database and a LinkedIn extension in one cheap subscription, and who value being charged only for addresses judged deliverable. | Developers and technical small teams building email finding, verification, or enrichment into their own product or internal tooling, and high-volume buyers who want the per-thousand price to fall as volume grows. |
| Setup time | Ten minutes. Create an account, install the extension, and run a search. Connecting Salesforce or HubSpot adds fifteen to twenty minutes of field mapping. | Fifteen minutes to a first API call: sign up, take the 75 free credits, pull an SDK, authenticate with the key and secret pair. The browser extension takes five. A production integration is a day or two depending on how many endpoints you use. |
| Learning curve | Low. The one concept users have to absorb is that daily search limits and credit balances are two separate ceilings, and that hitting the search limit on Professional at 20 people searches a day is normal rather than a fault. | Low for a developer and moderate for anyone else. The endpoint set is well enumerated and the SDKs are conventional. The concept that needs learning is the credit multiplier: emails cost one and phones cost five, so a phone-heavy workload burns a budget four times faster than the headline rate suggests. |

Strengths and limitations
Skrapp.io
Strengths
- Credits are consumed only for deliverable emails, so the advertised price is close to the true cost per usable address rather than a cost per attempt.
- A searchable 200 million contact database plus a LinkedIn extension in the same subscription, which pure extraction tools such as Kaspr do not offer.
- Professional at 29 dollars for 2,000 credits and two seats is one of the cheapest credible entry points in the category.
- Credits roll over on paid plans rather than expiring monthly.
Limitations
- No phone numbers at all, on any tier, at any price, which removes Skrapp from consideration for any team that calls.
- API access is included on Enterprise only, so a small team that wants to automate lookups pays for 50,000 credits to get it.
- Daily search limits are restrictive on Professional at 20 people searches a day, and they bind long before your credit balance does.
- The 97 percent accuracy and 92 percent success claims are marketing figures with no written guarantee behind them, unlike Anymail Finder's contractual delivery commitment.
Tomba
Strengths
- Per-thousand pricing that falls to under 5 dollars at the Pro plan and above, among the cheapest published per-email rates in this batch at volume.
- Explicit and correct billing rules: no charge for a failed search, no charge for a duplicate search inside the same month, and one credit per valid email.
- A one-time purchase option with twelve-month validity, so a finite project does not need a subscription it will forget to cancel.
- Ten official open-source SDKs across Python, Node.js, PHP, Ruby, Go, Java, Dart, Lua, R, and Elixir, which is broader language coverage than any competitor here.
Limitations
- The interface is a secondary concern; non-technical sales users will find Skrapp, SalesQL, or GetProspect better places to work.
- Phone lookups at five credits are poor value against SalesQL's single-credit pool if calling is your main channel.
- No searchable people database to filter by title and seniority, so Tomba answers questions about people you can already name rather than helping you decide who to contact.
- No per-second or per-minute API rate limits are published, only an uptime figure and a response-time claim, which is a real gap for a product sold primarily on its API.
Pricing compared
Skrapp.io
Freemium subscription priced by monthly credit allowance with included seats, billed monthly or annually, with credit rollover on paid plans and daily search limits applied separately.
- Free$0
- Professional$29
- Enterprise$262
At 1,000 lookups a month Skrapp is among the cheapest credible options anywhere: Professional's 2,000 credits for 29 dollars annual works out at about 0.0145 dollars per deliverable email, roughly comparable to Icypeas and cheaper than Hunter's Starter at 49 euros for 2,000. Because failed lookups are free, that figure holds in practice. At 10,000 lookups a month the Professional 10K size costs 97 dollars on annual billing, about 0.0097 dollars per credit, cheaper than Hunter's Growth tier at 149 euros for 10,000 and about level with Tomba's Pro plan at that volume. The ladder that once had a hole between 2,000 and 50,000 credits is now filled.

Tomba is the cheapest published per-unit price in this batch and one of the cheapest anywhere self-serve. At 1,000 verified emails a month the smallest plan, Basic at 49 dollars, is the floor, so small users pay about 0.049 per address, more than Skrapp at 0.0145. At 10,000 emails a month the Pro plan at 199 dollars covers it with 20,000 finder credits, about 0.02 per address at that volume and falling at the larger steps, which is competitive with Hunter's Growth tier at 149 euros. Phone numbers cost five credits each, several times SalesQL's single-credit pool. The honest summary is that Tomba is a good price per email at volume, an unremarkable one at small volume, and a middling price per phone, and it is worth the switch mainly if you are calling the API rather than clicking a button, because the interface does not justify the move on its own.
Editorial verdict on each
Skrapp.io
Skrapp is the cheapest sensible way for a small team to buy a couple of thousand verified work email addresses a month, and the billing rule that makes that true, charging only for deliverable results, is the rule that matters most in this category. Two included seats, rolling credits, a searchable database, and a competent LinkedIn extension for 29 dollars is a genuinely good deal at that volume. Two things stop it being a broader recommendation. There are no phone numbers at any price, so if you call at all you are buying a second tool. And the API sits on Enterprise only. The ladder now scales smoothly from 2,000 to 500,000 credits, so a growing team can stay on it; buy it as a cheap, focused, email-only tool.
Read the full Skrapp.io profileTomba
Tomba is the best-value email lookup in this batch and the only one in it genuinely built for developers. Eight dollars ninety per thousand credits at every volume, with failed and duplicate searches free and credits valid for twelve months, gives an honest cost of under a cent per verified address, and ten open-source SDKs across fourteen endpoints is more API surface than anyone else here offers. The Author Finder endpoint and the Clearbit-compatible person and company endpoints are real differentiators rather than list padding. What is missing is everything around the API. There are no published rate limits, no seat terms, no searchable people database, no sequencer, a thin interface, and almost nothing disclosed about who runs the company. Phone lookups at five credits are middling value. Buy Tomba if code is calling it and price per verified email is the number that matters. Do not buy it as the tool a salesperson opens in the morning, and do not buy it as your phone data provider.
