A Snov.io alternative when you only need the data.

Snov.io makes sense if you want email finding inside a full sales suite with sequences, a CRM and unlimited seats. If you only need the data layer for an agent, Ravn is the narrower alternative, with verification and finding included in a $24 plan over MCP, CLI or REST.

Their strengths

Where Snov.io is the better choice

Snov.io is an all-in-one sales suite: email finding sits next to sequences and a CRM, with unlimited seats. Ravn has no sequences and no CRM, so if your team wants to find, verify and send in one product, Snov.io covers more ground.

Its MCP server works with both Claude and ChatGPT from the Starter plan, and yearly billing brings Starter to $29.25 a month.

Our fit

Where Ravn fits better

Ravn does one job: return contact and company data to whatever is asking, in one answer shape. On Ravn ($24 a month), verification is included in 10,000 lookups a month, then $1 per 1,000, not charged per credit. Misses are free.

There are no credits to expire, because Ravn sells the software, not the data: it stores no people data and resells no one’s records. For lists, npx ravn enrich adds results to your CSV and resumes where it stopped, and the reverse email lookup turns an address back into a person and company on your own provider key.

  1. / 01

    Connect the MCP server

    In Claude: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, paste https://api.askravn.com/mcp, sign in with your email code and click Allow. In Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http ravn https://api.askravn.com/mcp, then /mcp → Authenticate. See the MCP server guide.

  2. / 02

    Sign in from the terminal

    Run npx ravn login, enter the 6-digit code from your email, then npx ravn tools to list all 25 tools. The CLI docs cover every flag.

  3. / 03

    Map Snov.io jobs to Ravn tools

    Email finder → search_business_email_by_name. Email verifier → validate_email / validate_emails. Domain search for people → search_people with company_domain. Keep sequences in your existing sending tool.

  4. / 04

    Test on a small sample

    Run npx ravn enrich leads.csv --tool validate_email --column Email --limit 25 --dry-run, check the plan, then drop --dry-run. Your columns are kept, rw_* columns are added, and progress saves every 25 rows so a stopped run resumes.

FAQ

Common questions.

All questions →

Does Ravn send email sequences like Snov.io?

No. Ravn finds and checks contact data. It does not send email or run sequences, so pair it with whatever sending tool you already use.

Do Snov.io credits expire?

Snov.io’s pricing page says credits expire after 30 days unless you are on an annual plan or renewal. On Ravn there are no credits: the plan includes 10,000 lookups a month and usage beyond that is $1 per 1,000, so there is nothing to expire.

Can I push Ravn results into my CRM?

There are no native HubSpot, Salesforce or Attio apps. Export a CSV, enrich it with npx ravn enrich and re-import it, or call the REST API from Zapier, Make or n8n HTTP steps. See integrations.
