Company URL Finder vs 99finder: Which Company Data Finder Wins in 2026?
Both tools turn company names into verified websites, contacts, emails, phones, and social profiles in bulk. 99finder is a dashboard-first SaaS aimed at marketers, with a feature-rich free plan and a “no results, no charge” credit policy. Company URL Finder is an API- and integration-first platform with a native Google Sheets add-on, Zapier app, and dedicated APIs per service. Here's the honest side-by-side.
Company URL Finder
Multi-service Company Data Finder — API, Sheets add-on, Zapier, dedicated endpoints per service.
99finder
AI-powered dashboard for finding company websites and contacts in bulk via CSV.
- 15 free credits / month (recurring)
- No credit card required
- Native Google Sheets add-on
- REST API + Zapier app
The 30-second verdict
99finder
You want a polished dashboard-only workflow with no developer setup — upload a CSV, get verified websites, contacts, social profiles, decision-maker prospects, and AI-generated company overviews. Their free plan gives 30 credits every month with all features unlocked, and their public credit policy is “no results, no charge.” Their granular phone metadata (WhatsApp detection, fixed vs. mobile) is a real edge for outbound calling teams.
Company URL Finder
Your work needs an API, lives in Google Sheets, or runs through Zapier and CRM integrations. You get a documented REST API with a dedicated endpoint per service, a native Google Sheets add-on, a Zapier app, country-code filtering for same-name disambiguation, and direct CRM integrations — automation surfaces 99finder doesn't currently publish.
REST API + dedicated endpoints
One endpoint per service — automate every enrichment step.
Native Google Sheets add-on
Run lookups via formula — no CSV upload, no dashboard switch.
Zapier + CRM integrations
Trigger enrichment from any tool in your stack.
Fair comparison
Two products, two workflows for the same data job
99finder is a legitimate competitor. Their AI-powered platform identifies company websites, addresses, phones, emails, social profiles across 5 platforms (LinkedIn, Facebook, X, Instagram, Xing), and decision-maker prospects from external sources. They publish a features page listing 14+ data points returned per company, plus customer logos and testimonials from real marketers. Their company Bestdatanet srl is registered in London, and they claim 97% accuracy across 60M+ websites identified.
Where the two products differ most is workflow shape. 99finder is built dashboard-first — upload a CSV of company names, run AI analysis, export verified results to Excel or CSV. It's purpose-built for marketers who want a self-serve interface with no developer setup. Their published feature list, pricing pages, and case studies all centre on the dashboard experience.
Company URL Finder takes a different design choice. We're built around the developer and ops surfaces first: a documented REST API with dedicated endpoints per service (URL, LinkedIn URL, email, phone, employees, enrichment, domain-to-name), a native Google Sheets add-on, a native Zapier integration, CRM integrations, and country-code filtering for same-name disambiguation. The dashboard exists too, but the platform is designed for teams that want to automate enrichment inside their existing stack — not switch tabs to a separate UI.

The pricing math: where each platform wins on per-credit cost
Both platforms charge 1 credit per company lookup. The honest read on cost depends on which services you actually need — because 99finder ties feature access to plan tier, while Company URL Finder unlocks the same services on every paid plan and only scales credit volume.
Translation: if you only need URL + address, 99finder's Pro plan at $34/mo (annual) matches Company URL Finder's Starter at ~$34/mo (annual) almost exactly. But if you need phone, email, social, AI overview, and decision-maker data, 99finder routes you to their Elite tier at $79/mo (still 1,000 credits) — while Company URL Finder gives the same services at ~$34/mo on Starter.

Three things to weigh before picking
- 1
Which services do you actually need?
99finder gates services by plan tier — only-URL workflows pay Pro pricing ($34/mo); full-enrichment workflows pay Elite ($79/mo). Company URL Finder unlocks every service on every paid plan and scales credit volume instead. If you need the full stack, Company URL Finder is materially cheaper at every tier.
- 2
How important is the free tier?
99finder’s 30 credits/month with all features is a stronger free plan than Company URL Finder’s 15 credits/month. If you’ll stay on the free plan long-term, 99finder is the better fit.
- 3
Do you need automation?
If your data work involves API calls, Sheets formulas, Zapier zaps, or CRM enrichment triggers, 99finder doesn’t publish those surfaces. Company URL Finder ships all four. For dashboard-only workflows, the difference doesn’t matter.

Honest take: 99finder has the edge on granular phone metadata (fixed/mobile, WhatsApp) and breadth of social platforms returned per credit. Company URL Finder has the edge on reverse domain-to-name lookups and country-code disambiguation for same-name companies across markets.
When 99finder is the right pick
We would be doing you a disservice if we pretended Company URL Finder was the right tool for everyone. Here are the situations where 99finder is the honest better choice:
You want the strongest free tier in the category.
99finder's free plan gives 30 credits per month with all features unlocked — twice Company URL Finder's 15 free credits and feature-complete from day one. For evaluation and low-volume use, that's a real advantage.
You value a “no results, no charge” credit policy.
99finder doesn't burn credits on unmatched lookups — a buyer-friendly policy stated publicly in their FAQ. If your input list has many obscure or small companies, this matters.
You need granular phone metadata.
WhatsApp detection, fixed vs. mobile classification, and country-code formatting are first-class features on 99finder. For outbound calling teams using parallel dialers or WhatsApp outreach, that’s hard to replicate.
You want breadth of social profiles per lookup.
99finder returns LinkedIn, Facebook, X, Instagram, and Xing profiles in one credit — useful for multi-channel social selling.
You want AI-generated company summaries and decision-maker prospects bundled in.
The Elite plan packages AI activity descriptions and prospect identification as native features — no extra integration work.
You prefer a dashboard-only workflow.
If you don’t need an API, Sheets formula, Zapier zap, or CRM trigger, 99finder’s polished self-serve dashboard is exactly the right surface — no over-engineering.
You want credit rollover on monthly plans.
99finder rolls unused credits forward up to 12 months, reducing wasted spend on lower-volume months.
If two or more of those describe your situation, try 99finder free. We'd rather you pick the right tool than the wrong one.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- Does 99finder have a public API?Not advertised — 99finder's features page, pricing page, and homepage don't list a public REST API or API documentation. The product is positioned as a dashboard-driven, CSV-upload workflow with Excel/CSV export as the integration surface. Company URL Finder publishes a documented REST API at apidocs.companyurlfinder.com, with a dedicated endpoint per service. If API access matters for your workflow — n8n, Make, custom code, real-time enrichment triggers — this is the clearest functional difference between the two platforms.
- Does 99finder have a Google Sheets add-on or Zapier app?No native Google Sheets add-on or Zapier app is listed in 99finder's features, pricing, or footer pages. Their integration surface is CSV upload in the dashboard and Excel/CSV export out. Company URL Finder publishes a native Google Sheets add-on on the Google Workspace Marketplace and a native Zapier integration. For teams whose workflows live in Sheets or Zapier, these surfaces remove the export-import step entirely.
- Is 99finder’s free plan really better than Company URL Finder’s?On free credits per month, yes — 99finder gives 30 credits/month with all features unlocked, vs. Company URL Finder's 15 credits/month. Both are recurring (resets monthly), not one-time. For evaluation or sustained low-volume use, 99finder's free tier is more generous. The trade-off: 99finder's free credits live inside a dashboard-only workflow. If you need to run those lookups via API, Sheets formula, or Zapier — those surfaces don't exist on 99finder at any tier. Pick the free tier that matches your workflow shape, not just the credit count.
- Which platform is more accurate?Both claim ~95–97% accuracy with no published third-party benchmark, so the only credible test is on your own data. 99finder publishes a 97% number; Company URL Finder publishes a relative “30% better than other tools” claim from an internal benchmark. A reasonable test: pick 50 companies you already know the verified website, phone, and email pattern for. Run them through both platforms' free credits. Compare hit rate, false positives, and behavior on same-name disambiguation. Both free tiers are sized for exactly this evaluation.
- Does Company URL Finder charge for failed (null) lookups?Per 99finder's public FAQ: “No results, no charge” — credits aren't burned on unmatched lookups. That's a clear buyer-friendly policy and a real advantage worth knowing. Company URL Finder's behavior on unmatched lookups should be confirmed with the product team before this page goes live — see the placeholder note in the comparison table. If matching 99finder's policy here is a priority, it's worth raising internally.
- How is 99finder’s pricing structured vs Company URL Finder’s?99finder gates services by plan tier — Pro covers Website + Address, Advanced adds Phone/Email/Social, Elite adds AI overview and decision-maker prospects. Higher tiers unlock more service types at the same credit volume. Company URL Finder unlocks every service on every paid plan and only scales credit volume across Starter, Growth, and Scale. If you need the full enrichment stack, this typically works out cheaper — Starter at ~$34/mo (annual) covers all services, vs. 99finder's Elite at $79/mo for the same 1,000 credits.
- Does 99finder support country-specific disambiguation?Not documented on their features page or pricing page. If you process company names that appear in multiple countries — for example, “Atlas” in US, UK, and India — there's no documented mechanism to specify which country's “Atlas” you mean. Company URL Finder supports country-code filtering via a
country_codeparameter on the API. For multi-country lead lists, this is one of the clearest functional differences. - Can I do reverse domain → company name lookups on 99finder?Not documented on 99finder's features or pricing pages. Their forward direction is company name → website + contacts. Company URL Finder supports reverse domain-to-name lookup as a dedicated service. Useful if you've collected anonymous web traffic, scraped public listings without company names, or need to fill in the inverse direction.
- Is there a free trial of Company URL Finder?Yes — 15 credits every month on the free plan, no credit card required. Same services as paid plans, just capped at 15 lookups per month, recurring. Start a free account at companyurlfinder.com/signup. All services available — URL, LinkedIn URL, email, phone, employee, enrichment, domain-to-name.
- Can I migrate my 99finder workflow to Company URL Finder without downtime?Yes — run both platforms in parallel for one billing cycle. Both support CSV upload as a common interface, so you can mirror your current 99finder workflow inside Company URL Finder before switching anything off. A practical migration: keep your 99finder subscription, upload last month's CSV to Company URL Finder, and compare. If Company URL Finder meets your accuracy bar and unlocks the automation surfaces you actually want (API, Sheets, Zapier, CRM), deprecate 99finder at the end of your current billing cycle.
- What’s the difference between Company URL Finder and CUFinder?Company URL Finder is the dedicated multi-service Company Data Finder — URL, LinkedIn, email, phone, employees, enrichment. CUFinder (cufinder.io) is the broader parent data platform with deeper enrichment capabilities, including profile-level work and wider data products. Both are part of the same family. Pick Company URL Finder if you want the focused multi-service data finder with the Sheets add-on, Zapier app, and dedicated API per service. Pick CUFinder if your needs run wider into deeper enrichment, lead generation, and broader B2B data.
