Questions people ask
Which costs less per found email, AI Ark or Findymail?
Both charge 1 credit per valid email found and nothing on a miss. Findymail Basic billed monthly is $49 for 1,000 finder credits (4.9 cents a find). AI Ark's entry package is $49 for 5,000 credits (about 1 cent a find on its single-row finder).
Can I search by name and company?
Findymail's name search takes a name plus a domain or company name, and a separate call takes a LinkedIn URL. AI Ark's single-person finder takes a LinkedIn URL or an AI Ark person id; from company and title filters you run a People Search, then find emails by its trackId.
Do I need a separate email verifier?
Both verify at request time. AI Ark checks every email it returns with BounceBan, including catch-all addresses. Findymail verifies each find in real time and includes verifier credits on its credit-based plans; it advises against re-verifying its emails elsewhere, since other verifiers flag its catch-all results as risky.
Do unused credits roll over?
Yes on both, capped at 2x the plan allowance. At Findymail this applies to the credit-based plans; its usage-based plans publish no numeric allowance.
Do AI Ark and Findymail have MCP servers?
Yes. Findymail's is at mcp.findymail.com/mcp with an API key in the Authorization header or OAuth, and lists 14 tools. AI Ark's is at api.ai-ark.com/v1/mcp, with the API key in the URL.
