Where Findymail is the better choice
Findymail offers a bounce-rate guarantee with refunds. Ravn has no SLA and no bounce guarantee, so if you want that protection written into the plan, Findymail gives it to you.
Unused Findymail credits roll over, up to 2x, and it does not charge when it can’t find an email. It also connects to Claude over MCP.
Where Ravn fits better
Ravn is $24 a month and includes 10,000 lookups a month (then $1 per 1,000) across email finding and verification, so a busy agent is never stopped by a credit count: past 10,000 it simply keeps going at $1 per 1,000, up to the spending cap you set. Misses are free.
When the email finder hits a catch-all domain, it returns the best pattern match marked risky instead of claiming certainty. Beyond email, the same key covers website scraping, phone checks, IP to company, and people and company lookups on your own provider key, 25 tools in all, over MCP, CLI or REST. Ravn sells the software, not the data: it stores no people data and resells no one’s records.

No. Ravn has no SLA and no refund-on-bounce guarantee. Each result has a risk score from A to F and says whether the mailbox was checked, and catch-all domains are marked risky.
Do unused Ravn lookups carry over?
Ravn has no credits to carry over or expire: the plan includes 10,000 lookups a month and usage beyond that is $1 per 1,000. Findymail’s page says its credits roll over up to 2x.
How does Ravn find an email from a name?
It reads public addresses on the company’s own website to learn the pattern, builds candidates for the name, verifies each one and returns the best. See the email finder API for the details.
