Anymail finder: An in-depth analysis

The homepage claims "97% accuracy". This claim is not supported by evidence. On the contrary, we found that Anymail finder has a quite high bounce rate of 11%. This bounce rate makes it unusable as is. To protect your email deliverability, you need to use an email verifier alongside Anymail finder to bring the bounce rate below 5%.

1,000 credits cost 39€ (with a monthly subscription).

Processing speed is slow. Anymail finder has a limited capability to parallelize email searches, as stated by Shehriar Awan (Head of Content at Lobstr.io):

"Anymail finder took around 155 minutes (a little over 2.5 hours) to process 1000 rows—one of the slowest in my testing."

By contrast, it takes 10 minutes to Icypeas to process a file of 1000 rows. ⏱️

Surprisingly, Anymail Finder’s API documentation claims that the API has no rate limit. Anyone with a bit of technical background knows such a statement is suspicious. Every API has a rate limit—better to have it publicly disclosed than hidden.
