Is Tomba.io really the best Voila Norbert alternative?

Every vendor claims to beat the others. So a Voila Norbert alternative that only asserts it is more accurate gives you nothing to check.

So we published the test instead of describing it. The same 5,000-lead file went through 9 providers. Nobody cleaned the input first. Nobody retried a failed row. Then we exported the raw sheets.

Tomba.io returned 4,015 valid emails. Anymailfinder returned 3,875, and Findymail 3,757. The file was identical for each tool, so the gap reflects coverage rather than luck. Open the result sheet and check any row yourself.

Where we fall short

No tool finds every address. Ours found 4,015 of 5,000, so about 20% of the file stayed empty. Coverage also varies by region and company size. So test on your own market, with your real list.

Switching from Voila Norbert

Export your contact list. Run it through the verifier to see what still delivers. Rebuild the gaps with Domain Search or Bulk Tasks, then point your integration at the API. The Free plan has 25 searches a month, so you can test the claim on your own data first.
