Those so called journal finders are not particularly useful if you ever tried them. The elsevier journal finder contains only journal for elsevier, so does the springer etc. The problem is the same for edanzediting journal finder.
If you are working with a professor such issue is never a problem for you. Your colleague will find it for you. But if you are working along, and in particular if you are creating something highly originally you won't know where to submit your paper, not mentioning whether is it the best place.
Recently, I submitted a series of three papers. I only want them to be published anywhere. I don't mind whether is it a SCI journal or its impact factor, as long as it is free of publication charge (since I have no funding). Eventually these three papers all got published on SCI journals after trying for more than 100 journals. I know of only about a dozen of journals. Therefore I tried very hard to google by any term I can think of. However, I still have many other papers with bizarre idea, which find no where to submit. Many journals simply reject them without even sending to referee. Some honest editors replied saying they cannot find a referee....
Hello! I can recommend. There you can find the subject of the journal, the time of reviewing, the website of the journal, etc.

Dear Julian Ting ,
probably no one can give you a more competent answer that you could give to yourself. While conducting your research, you are basing on some someone's else previous findings that you refine and elaborate. At the same time, you are making sure that someone did not published your findings earlier already. This is your contribution. It seems that publishing in the journal that published the previous findings that influenced your work the most is the most appropriate otherwise some other journals that published the most relevant works should be considered. But you, as the author and contributor, should know them best, because it's your duty as the contributor, to check the current state of the art and what's more to present it in the "Related work" section of your paper.
To find a suitable journal not charging for publication depends on the originality and type of your work whether it fit with scope of the journal. Several high quality academic journals are not charging for publication. Many questionable journals originate from India or Nigeria primarily attract authors from developing countries. The publishers of these journals have only business idea and they accept as many papers as possible. Many researchers easily recognize the so-called predatory journals when an e-mail shows up an invitation to send an article and to act as editor of a special issue. Some of the Indian dental journals which does not charge for publication have a poor editorial staff.
Anna Małgorzata Kamińska Yes, I always read Nature, Science, PNAS, The Cell etc. I really hope I can published my paper over there. But, guess... what happened after I submitted my paper to them? ....that is the question!
