BlitzAPI is a data API sold as one flat monthly fee. Findymail is an email finder sold by the credit, with an official MCP server that returns records. BlitzAPI wins on published scale and a flat fee. Findymail wins on agents and on proof that an email is good before you pay for it.
All figures were checked in September 2026, each with its source link. Where a vendor publishes nothing, or blocks us from reading it, the page says so.
Verdict
- Pick BlitzAPI if you pull verified work emails for LinkedIn profiles from code and want a bill you can predict. One flat fee, no credits. Its launch offer closed on September 30, 2026, so confirm the current price and rate limit before you sign up.
- Pick Findymail if you want an MCP server that finds emails and phones for an agent, a standalone verifier, or a 99%+ uptime SLA. It also charges nothing when a lookup finds no verified email.
- Pick neither if you want search over a filterable database, bulk export and an MCP server that returns records on one flat plan. BlitzAPI has no documented export and its MCP server only reads docs. Findymail searches in plain language, not by filter. LeadOcean is one option.

Data and coverage
BlitzAPI publishes its size and Findymail does not. BlitzAPI lists 550M+ profiles and 65M+ companies (BlitzAPI docs, September 2026). Findymail states no record count. It resolves each email at the moment you ask, so the number that matters is your own hit rate.
On email, BlitzAPI counts 65M+ verified work emails, proven against live mail servers and re-tested at least every 30 days. An address it cannot prove comes back as not found (BlitzAPI pricing, September 2026). Findymail takes the same stance in real time: it charges a finder credit only when a verified email is found (Findymail docs, September 2026).
Phones are US only on both. BlitzAPI holds 45M+ US numbers and sells them only on the $599 Full plan. Findymail returns numbers in E.164 format, only for the US, and returns nothing for EU citizens (Findymail docs, September 2026).
Search differs more than data. BlitzAPI has company and people filters and a Find People endpoint that stops at 50,000 results per query (BlitzAPI docs, September 2026). Findymail has Intellimatch, a plain-language query that returns up to 5,000 companies per search. There are no structured filters in its docs.
BlitzAPI also lists 100M+ job postings. Findymail has Signals, which tracks job changes, new hires and keyword mentions (Findymail docs, September 2026).
Test both on your own list before you buy. Send the same 500 LinkedIn URLs through each free allowance and compare the hit rate.
API and developer experience
Both are plain REST APIs with JSON bodies. BlitzAPI uses an x-api-key header. Findymail uses an Authorization: Bearer header.
BlitzAPI's work email lookup takes a LinkedIn URL. It returns found, the verified email and an all_emails array. It counts one record on the trial and nothing extra on a paid plan (BlitzAPI docs, September 2026).
curl -X POST "https://api.blitz-api.ai/v2/enrichment/email" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "x-api-key: $BLITZAPI_API_KEY" \
-d '{"person_linkedin_url":"https://www.linkedin.com/in/jane-doe"}'Findymail's email finder takes a name and a domain, so you can start without a profile URL. It uses one finder credit if a verified email is found (Findymail docs, September 2026).
curl --request POST "https://app.findymail.com/api/search/name" \
--header "Authorization: Bearer $FINDYMAIL_API_KEY" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data '{"name":"Jane Doe","domain":"acme.com"}'Rate limits shape how each one scales. BlitzAPI limits are per endpoint and per second. Accounts opened by September 30 run at 50 requests per second, and the standard rate is 5 (BlitzAPI pricing, September 2026).
Findymail limits are on concurrency, not per second. All endpoints allow 300 simultaneous requests unless stated otherwise (Findymail docs, September 2026). A webhook URL makes a call asynchronous.
For agents, only Findymail helps. Its MCP server exposes 14 tools and lookups that find nothing are free (Findymail plugin, September 2026). BlitzAPI's MCP server answers questions about its docs and cannot search people (BlitzAPI docs, September 2026).
Pricing
BlitzAPI charges per month, whatever you pull. Findymail charges per credit found. To compare them, convert both to what a month of lookups costs.
At 10,000 records a month. BlitzAPI needs Plus, because Core has no verified emails. Plus is $499 a month. Only emails it finds count as results, so 10,000 lookups return at most 10,000. That is $499 / 10,000 = $0.0499 per email at best (BlitzAPI pricing, September 2026).
Findymail needs 10,000 finder credits for 10,000 emails, because a credit is spent only on a found email. Phones cost 10 credits each, so 10,000 phones is 100,000 credits (Findymail docs, September 2026). The price of 10,000 credits is on Findymail's pricing page, which blocks automated reading, so we do not quote it. Compare it with $499 yourself. Misses are free, so a low hit rate lowers the Findymail total.
At 1M records a month. For an account opened by September 30, 2026, BlitzAPI at 1M is $499 a month at list. 1,000,000 results sit under the 15,000,000 a month fair use line, so one Plus plan covers it. $499 x 1 month = $499, or $0.0005 per email (BlitzAPI pricing, September 2026).
Time matters at 1M too. At 50 requests per second, 1,000,000 / 50 = 20,000 seconds, about 5.6 hours. At the standard 5 per second it is 200,000 seconds, about 2.3 days.
Findymail has no public 1M price. One million emails is 1,000,000 credits and a million phones is 10,000,000 credits, in US numbers only (Findymail docs, September 2026). Ask Findymail for a quote before you plan around it. We do not multiply a rate out to 1M here.
One caution on BlitzAPI. Those prices, the 50 requests per second and the 15,000,000 fair use line belong to accounts opened by September 30, 2026. Prices for later accounts are not published, and the standard rate is 5 requests per second (BlitzAPI Terms, September 2026). Above 15,000,000 results a month there is no public price at all.

Where BlitzAPI wins
- Predictable cost. A flat monthly fee, no credits and no overage line, at least for accounts opened by September 30.
- Cost at volume, for launch-offer accounts. $499 for a month of 1M work emails on an account opened by September 30, against a quote from Findymail.
- Published scale. 550M+ profiles, 65M+ companies and 65M+ verified work emails, so you can size a project before you sign up.
- Speed. 50 requests per second per endpoint for accounts opened by September 30, if your workload is a high-volume LinkedIn URL queue.
- Job postings. 100M+ postings to search (BlitzAPI docs, September 2026).
BlitzAPI's weak points are US-only phones that cost $100 a month more than Plus, no documented bulk export and an MCP server that only reads docs. Core, Plus and Full carry no SLA (BlitzAPI docs, September 2026).
Where Findymail wins
- An MCP server that returns records. Fourteen tools, browser sign-in, and a Cursor plugin with skills for email finding, lead lists and verification (Findymail plugin, September 2026).
- You pay for what is found. A lookup that finds no verified email costs nothing, so cost tracks your hit rate.
- Lookup from a name. Name plus domain works, with no LinkedIn URL needed.
- A standalone verifier.
POST /api/verifychecks any email for one verifier credit (Findymail docs, September 2026). - An SLA. Its API page advertises a 99%+ uptime SLA (Findymail API, September 2026).
- Workflow around the data. Signals for job changes and new hires, and a Chrome extension (Findymail docs, September 2026).
Findymail's weak points are credits that scale in a straight line, phones at 10 credits each and no public 1M price. Lead search is plain language, so you cannot segment by seniority or funding with a filter.
If you need volume through an API
We build LeadOcean, so weigh this section accordingly. It has a free plan with 1,000 records, one-off, no card. Pro is $499 a month, flat, with unlimited searches, enrichments and lookups, and no credits or per-record price (LeadOcean pricing, September 2026).
It holds 693M people, 366M with an email and 166M with a phone number, plus 63M companies. The same REST API and a hosted MCP server with 12 tools run on every plan, and the MCP server searches, enriches and exports records (LeadOcean MCP docs, September 2026).
For bulk pulls, POST /v1/exports returns up to 50,000 rows per request, or you can use the Exports page in the app. 1M rows is 20 requests over two days (LeadOcean exports docs, September 2026). See pricing for the detail.
FAQ
Is BlitzAPI cheaper than Findymail?
For accounts opened by September 30, 2026, BlitzAPI has a public 1M price: $499 for Plus. Neither vendor publishes a 1M price for a new account today. At 10,000 emails a month we could not read Findymail's plan prices, so check them against $499 on its pricing page.
Does Findymail have an MCP server?
Yes. It is at mcp.findymail.com, has 14 tools, and signs in through the browser or a bearer token. Lookups that find nothing are free (Findymail plugin, September 2026).
Does BlitzAPI have an MCP server?
Yes, but it gives an AI tool access to the API documentation only. It does not return people or company records (BlitzAPI docs, September 2026).
Do BlitzAPI or Findymail cover phone numbers outside the US?
No. BlitzAPI lists 45M+ phone numbers and its docs say coverage is US only. Findymail returns US numbers only and nothing for EU citizens (Findymail docs, September 2026).
Which database is bigger, BlitzAPI or Findymail?
BlitzAPI publishes 550M+ profiles. Findymail publishes no count, so the two cannot be compared on size. Run both on your own list and compare the hit rate.
What happens to BlitzAPI pricing after September 30, 2026?
The offer closed to new accounts. BlitzAPI has not published prices for later accounts, and the standard limit is 5 requests per second (BlitzAPI Terms, September 2026). Check the pricing page on the day you sign up.
