What each lookup costs
- Email from name and domain: 1 credit on both, and free when nothing is found. Tomba also does not charge for a result marked unknown.
- Whole company: Tomba charges 1 credit per 10 results of a domain search. Hunter charges per email found, with bulk domain search at 1 credit for up to 10 emails per domain.
- Phone numbers: Tomba's phone finder costs 5 credits for a valid number, or 6 credits for an email lookup that adds phone data. Hunter has none.
- Verification: Tomba spends its separate verification pool, free for unknown and disposable results. Hunter takes half a credit from the main pool and charges for accept-all results too.
- LinkedIn: Tomba's LinkedIn Finder takes one profile URL and returns that person's email. Hunter's help center says it cannot work on LinkedIn at all.
Tomba's page does not render its refund answer; Hunter states it gives no refunds and lets monthly plans pause for one to three months.
