Findymail vs Clearbit (Breeze Intelligence) (2026): Data, Pricing and API Compared

Findymail is an email and phone finder, so it wins when you hold a name and domain or a profile URL and want a verified address through an API. Clearbit (Breeze Intelligence) is data enrichment inside HubSpot, so it wins for HubSpot teams who want records filled in. At 1M records a month, neither publishes a price.

Verdict

• Pick Findymail if you hold names, domains or profile URLs and want a verified email from code or an agent. You pay a finder credit only when a verified email is found (Findymail API docs, October 2026).
• Pick Clearbit (Breeze Intelligence) if your contacts and companies already live in HubSpot and you want them filled in without writing code (HubSpot docs, October 2026).
• Pick neither if you need to search a database by filter and pull people and company data at volume for a fixed bill. LeadOcean is one option, covered below.

Side by side

Findymail figures come from its API docs. Its pricing page showed a bot check on every fetch in October 2026, so no plan price appears here. HubSpot renames and reprices often, so confirm before you buy.

Data and coverage

Findymail finds addresses and Clearbit fills in records. Neither is a database you search by filter. That matters more than any count, and neither tool publishes a count anyway.

Findymail takes a name and a company domain, or a profile URL, and returns an email only when it can verify one. It also has a verifier for addresses you already own. Checking one costs a verifier credit, not a finder credit (Findymail API docs, October 2026).

Findymail does have lead search. Intellimatch takes a plain-language query and exports up to 5,000 companies per search (Findymail API docs, October 2026). It is a natural-language search, so repeatable segments are harder than with a filter set.

Phones are narrow on the Findymail side. The phone endpoint costs 10 finder credits when a number is found, returns US numbers only, and returns nothing for EU citizens (Findymail API docs, October 2026).

Clearbit works from what you give it. HubSpot's docs say a contact needs a business email and a company needs a domain. Gmail and Yahoo addresses are not enriched (HubSpot docs, October 2026). The contact properties that fill in include job title, seniority, role, location and LinkedIn URL.

Clearbit's company data is richer than most finders hold. Its homepage lists 6-digit NAICS, GICS and SIC codes, parent and subsidiary mapping, and normalised role and seniority (Clearbit, October 2026). That is firmographics. It does not hand you a list of people to contact.

API and developer experience

Findymail has a public REST API you can read before you sign up. Clearbit has an API too, but its docs sit behind a sign-in. So only one of the two can show a request here.

Findymail, find an email from a name and domain. Placeholders stand in for a real person (Findymail API docs, October 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"}'

It uses one finder credit only if a verified email is found. Add a webhook_url and the search runs in the background (Findymail API docs, October 2026). Auth is a Bearer header on every endpoint.

Clearbit, no public request. Its API docs redirect to a sign-in page, so we show no sample (Clearbit docs, October 2026). New sign-ups since December 4, 2023 need a HubSpot account (Clearbit release notes, October 2026). Inside HubSpot, enrichment is a settings switch. A Super Admin turns on automatic enrichment, and it is off by default (HubSpot docs, October 2026).

Rate limits are measured differently. Findymail caps concurrency at 300 simultaneous requests on all endpoints unless stated otherwise. Profile-URL email lookups allow 30, and find-by-role allows 5 when run synchronously (Findymail API docs, October 2026). Clearbit publishes no rate limit.

On MCP, Findymail's server has 14 tools and signs you in through the browser. Lookups that find nothing are free (Findymail Cursor plugin, October 2026). HubSpot's remote MCP server reads and writes CRM records such as contacts and deals. We found no MCP server for enrichment itself (HubSpot MCP, October 2026).

Pricing

Findymail bills credits on a plan. Clearbit bills nothing of its own, because enrichment sits inside a HubSpot plan. Neither prices a record you can multiply out, so the worked examples below show volume and units, not an invented total.

At 10,000 records a month

• Findymail: 10,000 finder credits if every lookup finds a verified email. Misses cost nothing, so real use is lower. We could not read the plan step that covers it, so check Findymail's pricing page. For phones, 10,000 numbers is 10,000 x 10 = 100,000 credits, US only.
• Clearbit: no per-record price. You pay the HubSpot plan, and data enrichment does not consume HubSpot Credits (HubSpot docs, October 2026). From an index page you enrich 100 records at a time, so 10,000 is 100 batches. Segments, imports and workflows take larger jobs (HubSpot docs, October 2026).

At 1M records a month

• Findymail: 1,000,000 finder credits at 1 credit per found email. No public 1M price in the docs we could read. Ask Findymail for a quote (Findymail pricing).
• Clearbit: no public 1M price. From an index page, 1,000,000 records is 10,000 batches of 100, so you would use a segment, an import or a workflow. HubSpot publishes no monthly volume ceiling, so ask HubSpot sales for one before you plan a run.

The two meter a miss differently. On Findymail a lookup that finds nothing consumes no credit, so cost tracks your hit rate. On Clearbit you pay for the plan whether a record enriches or not. For a stale list, Findymail's model is cheaper per useful row. For a HubSpot team that already pays for a plan, Clearbit adds little cost on top.

Other HubSpot features do bill in credits. Smart properties consume HubSpot Credits, even though plain data enrichment does not (HubSpot docs, October 2026). Read the plan page for your region before you budget (HubSpot pricing).

Where Findymail wins

• You pay only when a verified email is found. A miss costs nothing.
• Name and domain in, address out. Clearbit needs a business email or a domain you already hold.
• An open API and an official MCP server with 14 tools, documented before you buy.
• A standalone email verifier at POST /api/verify, 1 verifier credit per check (Findymail API docs, October 2026).
• Documented concurrency limits, so you can plan capacity.

Where Clearbit (Breeze Intelligence) wins

• Enrichment inside HubSpot. Automatic enrichment fills new records without anyone writing code.
• Richer company data: 6-digit NAICS, GICS and SIC codes, plus parent and subsidiary mapping (Clearbit, October 2026).
• Form shortening, so a form shows only the fields it cannot enrich.
• No per-record price to track when you already own a HubSpot plan.

If you need volume through an API

LeadOcean is a data API and MCP server with no credits and no CRM in front of it. Pro costs $499 a month flat, with unlimited searches, enrichments and lookups. The Free plan gives 1,000 records one-off with no card. Both plans get the same REST API and 12-tool MCP server, and POST /v1/exports returns up to 50,000 rows per request (LeadOcean exports docs, September 2026). It is not a sales workspace, so you still need a sending tool. Read the Findymail alternative and pricing, then compare it on a list you already know.
