Skrapp.io vs Tomba
An independent, review-free comparison compiled by the SaaSTracker editorial team. Both products are profiled in full, and neither can pay for placement here.
The short answer
Both sides assessedSkrapp.io compared with Tomba
Tomba is the better answer at volume and the better answer for developers: a flat 8.90 dollars per thousand credits with no tier ladder at all, twelve-month credit validity, 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, but its price ladder has a nine-fold cliff between 2,000 and 50,000 credits. Tomba charges a flat 8.90 dollars per thousand at any volume with twelve-month validity and ten SDKs. If a person is doing the clicking, take Skrapp; if code is doing it, take Tomba.
Choose Skrapp.io if
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.
Choose Tomba if
Developers and technical small teams building email finding, verification, or enrichment into their own product or internal tooling, and high-volume buyers who want a flat per-thousand price with twelve-month credit validity rather than a tier ladder.

| Starting price | $0 (Free, 50 credits), then $29 per month on annual billing (Professional) (free plan available) | $0 (25 free searches per month, plus 75 free API credits on signup), then $8.90 per 1,000 credits (free plan available) |
| 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. | Usage-priced credits at a flat rate per thousand, bought as a monthly subscription or as a one-time block, with twelve-month credit validity and no conventional tier ladder. |

| Free trial | No time-limited trial; the permanent free tier is the evaluation path | 75 free API credits on signup with no card required, alongside a permanent free tier of 25 searches a month |
| 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 a flat per-thousand price with twelve-month credit validity rather than a tier ladder. |
| 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 SalesQL and 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.
- The gap between 2,000 and 50,000 credits a month is unserved, so a team needing 8,000 credits either overbuys nine times the price or negotiates privately.
- 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
- A flat 8.90 dollars per thousand credits at every volume, which removes tier guessing entirely and is the cheapest published per-email rate in this batch.
- 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.
- Twelve-month credit validity plus a one-time purchase option, 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 picture inverts and Skrapp becomes awkward: Professional is far too small and Enterprise sells you 50,000 credits you will not use for 262 dollars, an effective 0.026 dollars per credit at your actual volume, worse than Hunter's Growth tier at 149 euros for 10,000 and much worse than Tomba's flat 8.90 dollars per thousand. The value is real at the bottom of the ladder and evaporates in the middle, and there is no honest way to describe the 2,000-to-50,000 gap as anything other than a pricing failure.
Tomba
Usage-priced credits at a flat rate per thousand, bought as a monthly subscription or as a one-time block, with twelve-month credit validity and no conventional tier ladder.
- Free$0
- Growth$89
- Custom volume$8.90 per 1,000 credits
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 you spend 8.90 dollars in finder credits, roughly 0.0089 per address, against Skrapp at 0.0145, GetProspect at 0.034, and Hunter's Starter at about 0.025 euros. At 10,000 emails a month you spend 89 dollars, well under Hunter's Growth tier at 149 euros for the same volume and better than any tier-laddered competitor here. Phone numbers are the weak point: at five credits, 1,000 mobiles costs 44.50 dollars and 10,000 costs 445, which is respectable in absolute terms but four to five times SalesQL's single-credit pool. The honest summary is that Tomba is the best price per email in this batch 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 price ladder has a hole in the middle so large that a growing team goes from 2,000 credits to a nine-fold price increase with nothing in between, which means Skrapp is often something you outgrow rather than something you scale on. Buy it as a cheap, focused, email-only starting point, and expect to reassess the moment your volume passes a few thousand a month.

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.
