What a lead list costs
| US leads per month | LeadMarina | Storefinch |
|---|---|---|
| 1,000 leads | $39/month Solo (the free 100 leads are a one-time trial) | Free plan covers 500 export rows; Pro $19 covers it all |

LeadMarina charges per business delivered, with email and phone checks included; yearly billing lowers each plan by $10 to $50 a month. A LeadMarina lead includes more verification and enrichment than a Storefinch row, so compare the fields you actually need, not only the price per row.

Questions
Which has better emails?
LeadMarina checks every email over SMTP and labels it safe, risky or invalid, which Storefinch doesn't do. Storefinch has emails in the data for 34% of places and its find_emails tool reads more from each business's website, checking only that the domain accepts mail. For a cold-email campaign, LeadMarina's verification is a real advantage.
Why are Storefinch answers instant?
Storefinch queries a prebuilt, indexed database of 14.9M US businesses. LeadMarina runs a live discovery search for each request and enriches each lead, which takes 5 to 40 minutes.
Can I resell or build a product on the data?
LeadMarina's terms forbid selling, licensing or redistributing its data, or using it to build a competing database. Storefinch data carries open licenses (CDLA-Permissive-2.0, Apache-2.0, CC0) that allow reuse with attribution.
Do both find businesses without a website?
Yes. LeadMarina labels each lead's website status, and Storefinch has a no_website filter and a verify_websites tool.
Can I use both?
Yes. One approach: size the market and build a broad list in Storefinch, then send a shortlist to a tool like LeadMarina for verified contacts and CRM sync.
