Pharow or FindMyLead: which one to choose in 2026?

Pharow and FindMyLead are two French prospecting tools. They do not do the same job. Pharow starts from French companies, with fine-grained company filters, then finds their directors and staff. FindMyLead starts from the person, in any country, writes a message for each one and sends the emails. Here is how to choose.

This article is written by the FindMyLead team, one of the tools compared. The other tools' prices were read on their pages on 14 October 2026, with links.

What Pharow does well

Pharow was created in Paris, founded in 2020, and claims more than 1,000 client companies. Its data sources page says: "Pharow réconcilie les registres légaux français, LinkedIn, le web, les technologies et les signaux de recrutement en une seule base", it reconciles the French legal registers, LinkedIn, the web, technologies and hiring signals in one base (Pharow's data sources). The same page claims "10 M+ de prospects en France" and "3,4 M+ d'entreprises enregistrées en France".

Starting from the registers has an advantage. According to Pharow, only a little over one director in five has a LinkedIn profile linked in its base (Pharow's article of 1 October 2026). A tool that starts from the registers also sees the directors who are not on LinkedIn, common in very small companies.

Its company filters:

• companies that are hiring, with hiring data refreshed every 15 days;
• companies that have raised funds;
• the technologies they use and growth signals;
• recent job changes and visits to your website.

For people, Pharow offers a boolean job-title search, by level and department, and rebuilt org charts.

Email is included in the subscription, with no credits, looked up with Dropcontact, FullEnrich and Zerobounce. Phone goes through FullEnrich: 10 credits per number found, none if nothing is found. Unused credits accumulate and never expire, up to 48,000, shared by the whole team (Pharow's pricing page).

Pharow connects to HubSpot and Pipedrive, and to lemlist and La Growth Machine for sending. An API is announced for 1 December 2026 (Pharow's API announcement). On G2, Pharow scores 4.7 out of 5 on 34 reviews (Pharow reviews on G2, read on 14 October 2026).

Pharow prices in October 2026

Pharow sells plans with one user included. Prices exclude VAT, per month.

A credit is spent when you add a prospect or a company to a list. Plans accept up to 10 users. The trial lasts 15 days, with 100 credits, and each search in it is limited to the first 60 results.

For a team of three on Essentiel without commitment, the arithmetic gives €229 excluding VAT a month: €139 plus two users at €45 (Pharow's pricing page). To send, you need a second tool, for example lemlist's Email plan at €69 a month excluding VAT, unlimited users (lemlist's pricing page, lemlist prices, help center): €298 excluding VAT a month, before mailboxes and the domain.

The limits Pharow writes itself

• France only. Its home page presents it as a "Plateforme de génération de leads B2B en France", a B2B lead generation platform in France (Pharow's home page).
• Excluded companies. Its pricing page excludes companies not registered in France, inactive companies or those in insolvency proceedings, sole traders, property holding companies (SCI) and companies created less than two months ago (Pharow's pricing page).
• No sending. Pharow is for building segmented lists, enriching them with email and phone, and exporting them to your CRM and sending tool (Pharow's home page). You need a sending tool alongside it.
• Mobile only with a LinkedIn profile. Its article of 1 October 2026 says: "Pharow ne cherche son mobile que s'il a un profil, par choix de fiabilité", Pharow only looks for a director's mobile when they have a profile, for reliability. In its base, 22.4% of directors have a linked LinkedIn profile (Pharow's article on directors' emails).

We found no message writing on its product pages or in its changelog.

What FindMyLead does

FindMyLead starts from the person. The user describes who they are looking for in one sentence, for example "HR directors in Bordeaux, companies of 20 to 200 employees". The AI turns it into criteria shown on screen (job, place, size, industry), which they can correct.

They see how many people match and who they are, for free. FindMyLead searches more than 500 million professional profiles from every country, a figure from our data provider (May 2026). A dated example: "Directors of consulting firms with 10 to 49 employees in Île-de-France", 1,326 people in October 2026 (the founder use case).

One credit pays for a contact and their LinkedIn profile, once. Their work email is looked up at no extra credit, found or not. The AI writes a LinkedIn message and an email for each person, from their job, their profile and their company. The user reviews them before sending.

Emails go out from addresses created in the name of the user's company, included in the price, with a ramp-up over the first days and automatic follow-ups. FindMyLead never acts on the user's LinkedIn account: they send the prepared message themselves.

FindMyLead costs €69 a month for 500 credits, €119 for 1,000 and €199 for 2,000, without commitment and for the whole team, with no limit on users. VAT does not apply: the price shown is the price paid (our pricing).

What FindMyLead does not do: no financial or legal filter on the company (revenue, legal form), no signals such as hiring or fundraising, no mobile numbers yet, and unused credits do not carry over to the next month.

Pharow and FindMyLead, point by point

Choose Pharow if…

• you target French companies and want to filter them by hiring, fundraising or technology;
• you target directors of very small companies, often absent from LinkedIn;
• you already have a sending tool, such as lemlist or La Growth Machine;
• you want mobile numbers today, and to keep unused credits from one month to the next.

Choose FindMyLead if…

• you look for a person by their role (the director, the HR director, the CFO), in France or elsewhere;
• you want the LinkedIn message and the email written for each of them;
• you want to send the emails from the same tool, without buying or warming up mailboxes;
• you are several and want one price for the whole team.
