An email finder is a tool that identifies the business e-mail address of a named person or the addresses associated with a company, usually by combining publicly available data with address-pattern prediction and SMTP-level verification. Sales teams, recruiters, journalists and PR staff use them to reach people whose addresses are not published.
This list covers twelve email finder tools available in November 2026, from dedicated finders such as Hunter, Anymail Finder and Findymail to contact databases such as Apollo.io and UpLead that include verified e-mails, and enrichment services such as Dropcontact. Prices are given in the currency displayed on each vendor's own pricing page, usually US dollars; Hunter and Dropcontact displayed euros.

What is an email finder
Email finders take an input, typically a first name, last name and company domain, or a LinkedIn profile URL, and return a predicted address together with a verification status. Most combine three techniques: harvesting addresses that appear on public web pages, inferring a company's address format (such as first.last@domain) from known examples, and checking with the recipient's mail server whether the mailbox exists. Addresses on catch-all domains, which accept all mail, cannot be confirmed this way, and vendors differ in how they handle them; Findymail and Anymail Finder both advertise catch-all verification.
The category overlaps with several neighbours. Email verification tools check addresses a user already has; B2B data providers and sales intelligence platforms such as Apollo.io sell stored contact databases searchable by filter; cold email software sends the outreach; and lead generation tools combine several of these. Many finders now include outreach and verification features of their own, as Snov.io and Hunter do.
Two architectural approaches exist. Database vendors (Apollo, UpLead, ContactOut, Lusha) store records and refresh them periodically. Real-time finders (Hunter, Anymail Finder, Findymail) compute and verify at the moment of the request, and Dropcontact states that it uses no contact database at all.
History and market
Pattern-based email finders appeared in the early 2010s as cold e-mail became a core sales channel. Hunter launched in 2015 and grew into one of the category's most widely used tools, reporting more than seven million user accounts by 2026. Apollo.io, also founded in 2015, took the database route and reports 40,000 paying customers.
Consolidation followed. Cognism, a UK sales-intelligence company, acquired the LinkedIn-focused finder Kaspr in 2022. Over the same period finders added outreach, warm-up and CRM features, while newer entrants such as Findymail competed on verification quality and bounce guarantees. By 2026 a common addition was an MCP server so that AI agents can call the finder directly; Hunter, Lusha, Snov.io, Findymail, Dropcontact and ContactOut all list one.
Regulation shapes the market. In the EU and UK, processing personal data for marketing requires a lawful basis under GDPR, which is why Dropcontact emphasises its database-free model and Findymail its EU hosting. No market-size figure from a named research firm was found on the pages consulted, so none is given.
Key features to compare
Accuracy and verification
The key output is a deliverable address. Look for real-time verification, a clear status for catch-all results and a refund or guarantee for bounces. Findymail guarantees bounce rates under 5%; Anymail Finder returns credits for bounced verified e-mails after review.
Charging rules
Some tools charge per search, others only when a valid address is returned. Anymail Finder, Skrapp, VoilaNorbert, Dropcontact and Findymail do not charge for misses.
Credit rollover
Unused credits expire monthly at Hunter and Apollo, roll over without a cap at Anymail Finder, and roll over up to twice the allowance at Lusha and Findymail.
Input methods
Check support for name plus domain, company name only, LinkedIn URL and role-based search (Anymail Finder's decision-maker search).
Bulk and API access
High-volume users need CSV uploads and an API. Some tools reserve the API for upper tiers, as Skrapp does for Enterprise.
Phone numbers
Lusha, Kaspr, UpLead, ContactOut and Findymail supply phone numbers; Hunter, Anymail Finder, Skrapp and VoilaNorbert do not.
Seats
Many finders allow unlimited users on one credit pool (Hunter, Anymail Finder, VoilaNorbert, Snov.io); others price per user (Kaspr) or limit seats (Skrapp).
Pricing models
Three pricing models dominate. Credit subscriptions sell a monthly or annual allowance of lookups; Hunter's Starter plan, for example, costs €49 a month for 2,000 credits. Per-seat subscriptions charge each user, often with unlimited work e-mails but metered phone numbers, as at Kaspr. Pay-as-you-go pricing, offered by VoilaNorbert for verification and enrichment, avoids a subscription entirely.
Entry prices in this list range from US$29 a month (Anymail Finder, 400 credits) to US$99 a month (Findymail, UpLead). Annual billing typically saves 20–33%: 25% at Snov.io and Skrapp, 30% at Hunter and 33% at Anymail Finder. Permanent free plans exist at Hunter (50 credits a month), Lusha (40 credits) and Kaspr. Phone numbers cost more than e-mails wherever both are sold: five credits at Lusha and ten at Findymail.
How to choose
Occasional or individual use. Hunter and Lusha have permanent free plans; VoilaNorbert's pay-as-you-go verification suits irregular volumes.
Bulk outbound. Anymail Finder and Findymail charge only for verified results, which keeps the cost per usable address predictable. Snov.io and Apollo.io add sequencing for teams that want one tool.
LinkedIn-led prospecting. Kaspr, Skrapp and Lusha work as extensions on LinkedIn and Sales Navigator.
Recruiting. ContactOut focuses on candidate contact details and ATS integrations.
EU data protection. Dropcontact keeps no contact database, and Findymail hosts data in the EU. Kaspr, part of UK-based Cognism, displays euro and sterling prices.
List building with filters. Apollo.io and UpLead let users search stored databases by title, industry and technology rather than finding one person at a time.
Methodology
Tools were included if their primary or a principal function is finding business e-mail addresses for named people or companies, they are sold commercially in November 2026, and they have a live official website with a pricing page. The order reflects four criteria applied together: the vendor's published scale and operating history; how buyer-friendly the charging rules are (no charge for misses, rollover, verification included); pricing transparency; and breadth of access methods (extension, bulk, API, integrations). Dedicated finders rank alongside database vendors on the same criteria.
All prices, user counts and dates come from vendor pages opened in November 2026; each price is given in the currency the page displayed. Accuracy claims and customer counts are attributed to the vendor. No hands-on accuracy tests, user reviews or star ratings were used.
The list

Domain search and email finder with a permanent free plan
Best for: Finding and verifying addresses by company domain
Hunter is one of the best-known dedicated email finders. It was launched in 2015 by Antoine Finkelstein and François Grante and has operated as a remote team across Europe, America and Asia since the start. The company reports more than seven million user accounts. Its core tools are Domain Search, which lists the publicly found addresses at a company domain, Email Finder, which predicts and verifies a named person's address, and Email Verifier; around these it has added Discover (a company search), Sequences for cold e-mail, Signals, TechLookup, browser and Google Sheets add-ons, an API and an MCP server for AI agents.
Hunter's credit rules are simple: one credit per e-mail found through Domain Search or Email Finder, one credit for up to ten addresses in Bulk Domain Search, and half a credit per verification, with repeat searches counted once per billing period. All paid plans allow unlimited team members sharing one credit pool.
Prices on the pricing page reviewed for this list were displayed in euros. The free plan includes 50 credits a month; Starter is €49 per month (€34 a month billed yearly) for 2,000 credits, Growth €149 (€104) for 10,000 and Scale €299 (€209) for 25,000. Credits do not roll over on monthly billing. Hunter's main limitation is that it focuses on e-mail: it does not sell phone numbers.
Key features
- Domain Search for all addresses at a company
- Email Finder by name and domain
- Email Verifier (0.5 credit each)
- Bulk finder and bulk domain search
- Sequences cold-email tool

2
Sales platform with a 240-million-contact database and e-mail sequencing
Best for: Teams wanting a contact database and sequencing in one tool
Apollo.io is a sales intelligence and engagement platform rather than a pure email finder, but it is one of the most common ways teams obtain business addresses. It was founded in 2015 by chief executive Tim Zheng and chief technology officer Ray Li, and its investors include Bain, Sequoia, Tribe, Nexus, NewView and Y Combinator. Apollo states that it has 40,000 paying customers and a million sales professionals using the platform, and that its database covers 240 million contacts and 30 million companies.
Unlike finders that compute addresses on demand, Apollo searches a stored database with filters for title, company and industry, then reveals contact data for credits. Credits are pooled across a team, granted at the start of each billing cycle and do not roll over; the same credits pay for phone numbers, mailboxes and warm-up and AI-researched data. The pricing page states that all plans include unlimited e-mail addresses for contacts, alongside sequencing, pipeline and deal tools.
Plans run Free, Basic, Professional and Custom; Professional adds AI features, call recording and advanced CRM integrations, and Custom adds SSO and API access. The version of the pricing page reviewed for this list did not display plan amounts, so none are given here. Free-plan e-mail campaigns are limited to Gmail accounts.
Key features
- Filterable database of 240M contacts
- E-mail and phone reveals on one credit pool
- Sequences with Gmail and Microsoft mailboxes
- Chrome extension for LinkedIn and Gmail
- CRM integrations (advanced on Professional)
- API on Custom plan
Pricing
Free, Basic, Professional and Custom plans; monthly or annual (annual paid upfront at a discount). Credits are pooled, granted per billing cycle and do not roll over; extra credits can be bought as recurring add-ons. The pricing page reviewed in November 2026 did not show amounts.

Email finder bundled with verification, warm-up, outreach and CRM
Best for: Small sales teams wanting finder plus outreach in one subscription
Snov.io is a sales platform that bundles an email finder with a seven-tier verifier, e-mail warm-up, multichannel outreach, a unified inbox and a lightweight CRM. The company says more than 300,000 businesses use it.
The Sales Suite is priced in dollars by credits and outreach recipients. A free trial plan renews every 30 days with 50 credits and 100 recipients but excludes integrations, bulk search, API and export. Starter costs US$39 a month (US$29.25 billed annually) for 1,000 credits and 5,000 recipients; Pro S costs US$99 (US$74.25 annually) for 5,000 credits; Pro M and Pro L cost US$189 and US$369 a month for 20,000 and 50,000 credits. Quarterly billing gives 5% off and annual billing 25% off; unused credits expire every 30 days except on annual plans, where they can roll over.
All paid plans include unlimited team seats and campaigns, native integrations with HubSpot, Pipedrive, Zapier, Make and n8n, an API and MCP access. LinkedIn automation is a separate subscription at US$69 per account slot per month, and phone enrichment uses a separate token balance at about US$0.02 per token. The breadth of features is the attraction; the trade-off is that buyers who only need addresses pay for outreach features they may not use.
Key features
- Email finder and seven-tier verifier
- Unlimited e-mail warm-up on Pro plans
- Multichannel sequences and unified inbox
- Built-in sales CRM
- HubSpot, Pipedrive, Zapier, Make, n8n integrations

Contact data with e-mail and phone reveals from one credit balance
Best for: Reps who need both e-mail and direct phone numbers
Lusha sells verified business e-mail addresses and phone numbers through a browser extension, a web workspace, an API and an MCP server, all drawing on one credit balance. The company says it is used by more than 280,000 revenue teams.
Revealing a verified e-mail costs one credit and a phone number five credits, which makes Lusha relatively economical for e-mail but expensive for phone-heavy prospecting. The free plan is permanent and includes 40 credits a month, basic prospecting, the extension and CRM integrations. Paid plans are priced in US dollars: Starter at US$49.90 a month (US$37.45 billed annually) with 400 credits, Pro at US$69.90 (US$52.45) with 600 credits, and Premium at US$399.90 (US$299.95) with 3,400 credits; Scale is quoted individually with per-user credit limits.
An unusual policy is that unused credits on monthly plans roll over, up to twice the plan's monthly limit; on annual plans all credits are issued upfront and reset at the end of the year. Teams of more than five users are directed to sales. Lusha suits individual reps and small teams who want a fast reveal workflow; credit volumes on the entry plans are low compared with pure email finders.
Key features
- Browser extension for LinkedIn and websites
- Verified e-mail and phone reveals
- Single credit pool across app, API and MCP
- CRM integrations on free plan
- Monthly credit rollover up to 2× limit

LinkedIn-focused finder with unlimited B2B e-mail on paid plans
Best for: European teams prospecting from LinkedIn
Kaspr is a LinkedIn-centred contact finder that works through a Chrome extension on LinkedIn, Sales Navigator and Recruiter Lite. It has been part of Cognism, the UK sales-intelligence company, since 2022, and reports more than 100,000 active users at over 50,000 companies.
Kaspr distinguishes between B2B (work) e-mail, which is unlimited on all paid plans, and phone numbers and direct e-mails, which are metered. The free plan includes 15 B2B e-mail credits, five phone credits and five direct-email credits a month, plus the extension, lead management, enrichment automations, CSV enrichment and HubSpot and Salesforce integrations. Prices are shown per user per month in euros, sterling and dollars: Starter at US$49 (US$65 at the higher rate shown), with 100 phone credits a month, and Business at US$79 (US$99), with 200 phone and 200 direct-email credits and API access. Enterprise adds unlimited phone credits, intent data and SSO, and an Organization package requires an annual contract and at least five users. Credits roll over on all paid plans.
The pricing page contains inconsistencies, including two different export allowances per plan, so buyers should confirm limits in writing.

- Unlimited B2B e-mails on paid plans
- Phone and direct-email credits

Verified-email finder with a bounce-rate guarantee and usage-based plans
Best for: Outbound teams that prioritise low bounce rates
Findymail is a newer email finder positioned on deliverability. It returns only verified addresses, including on catch-all domains, guarantees a bounce rate under 5% and refunds credits if bounces exceed that level. It states SOC 2 Type 2 and GDPR compliance with hosting in the EU. Findymail cites Clay as having ranked it first for email finding and verification in Clay's 2025 data tests; that ranking is reported by the vendor.
Pricing is in two families. Prospecting plans for a company's own team are not metered in credits but by usage over rolling five-hour and seven-day windows: Individual at US$99 a month for one seat, Team at US$399 for five seats and Scale at US$999 for twenty. Credit-based plans, intended for resellers and embedding, start at US$99 a month for 5,000 finder credits plus 5,000 verifier credits, with rollover up to twice the monthly allowance. One e-mail costs one credit and one phone number ten credits; nothing is charged when no verified result is found.
The product includes a Chrome extension, bulk finder, Google Sheets integration, API and MCP access, reverse e-mail lookup and ten-plus native integrations including Clay, HubSpot, Salesforce, Instantly, lemlist and Pipedrive. Mobile numbers are available only for non-EU contacts. A Datacare CRM-cleaning service starts at US$500 a month billed annually.

Pay-only-for-verified email finder with uncapped credit rollover
Best for: Bulk e-mail finding where only verified results should be paid for
Anymail Finder is operated by AMF Internet Services Limited, a company registered in the UK under number 10586048. It is a pure email finder with three search modes: by person (name and domain, company name or LinkedIn URL), by company (up to 20 addresses at a domain for one credit) and by role, which finds a decision-maker's address for two credits.
Its charging model is the strictest in this list in the buyer's favour: credits are deducted only when a verified e-mail is found, verification of returned results is included, repeat searches within 30 days are free, and unused credits roll over without a cap while the subscription is active. Verifying addresses from other sources costs 0.2 credits each. The company publishes a benchmark claim of 86.4% verified coverage at 98.9% accuracy across 14 tools, and a 97%+ delivery guarantee with credits returned for bounced verified e-mails after review; both are vendor figures.
Prices are in US dollars excluding tax. Monthly plans run from US$29 for 400 credits and US$49 for 1,000 credits up to US$799 for 100,000; yearly plans are billed upfront at a third off, from US$228 for 4,800 credits to US$6,420 for 1.2 million.

Best for: LinkedIn prospecting at low to medium volume
Skrapp.io provides verified business e-mails and data enrichment through a browser extension for LinkedIn, Sales Navigator and Recruiter, a web app and an API. The company says it is used by more than two million professionals and that its company-data API covers more than 40 million companies.
Skrapp charges only for valid and catch-all results; invalid and unknown addresses are free, credits are shared across a team, unused credits roll over month to month on paid plans and remain after cancellation. The free plan includes 50 one-time starter credits and the finder, verifier and LinkedIn integrations. The Professional plan costs US$39 a month, or US$29 a month billed annually, for 2,000 credits and two users, with multi-page LinkedIn enrichment, Sales Navigator list saving, list exports, CRM sync and AI enrichment. Enterprise costs US$349 a month, or US$262 billed annually, for 50,000 credits and 15 users and adds API access, SSO and a dedicated account manager.

Best for: Occasional users who prefer pay-as-you-go verification
VoilaNorbert, operated by VoilaNorbert, LLC, is a long-standing email finder used in sales, recruiting, PR and content outreach. Its products are Email Finder, Verify, Enrichment, Sequences, Email Warmup, a Google Sheets add-on and a Chrome extension.

Algorithm-only enrichment that keeps no contact database
Best for: GDPR-sensitive enrichment of existing CRM and lead files
Dropcontact is a European email-finding and enrichment service built on a distinctive privacy model: it states that it "operates exclusively with algorithms and does not use any contact databases", generating and validating addresses on request rather than reselling stored records. It describes its processing as GDPR-compliant, runs its CRM suite on EU-based servers and says that suite was audited against standards of CNIL, the French data-protection authority.
The service is aimed at enriching existing lists and CRMs rather than discovering new prospects. The Starter plan, shown at €79 a month, covers e-mail finding, native validation, catch-all verification, CSV/XLS file enrichment, API and MCP access and a Google Sheets add-on; Growth, at €120 a month, adds credit carry-over, LinkedIn enrichment without login, job-title cleaning and AI classification, company change detection and company-domain matching. Enterprise starts at 200,000 credits a month with custom pricing. Credits are charged on success, emails not found are re-credited, and both plans offer 50 free credits.
Prices on the page are in euros, and the page lists credit tiers without matching each tier to a price. CRM enrichment is sold as a separate subscription. Because there is no database, Dropcontact cannot be used to search for prospects by filter.

B2B contact database with real-time email verification
Best for: Building targeted lists with technographic filters
UpLead is a B2B contact database whose credits unlock a contact's verified e-mail and mobile direct dial together, for download or CRM export. It says it is trusted by more than 4,000 businesses and quotes a 95% data-accuracy rate for its e-mail verification; both are vendor figures.
Plans are priced in dollars. A seven-day free trial gives five credits; Essentials costs US$99 a month (US$74 a month billed annually) for 170 credits a month, and Plus costs US$199 (US$149 annually) for 400 credits, with extra credits at US$0.60 and US$0.50 respectively. Plus adds data enrichment, e-mail pattern intelligence, technographics covering more than 16,000 technologies, advanced filters and suppression lists. Professional, annual only and quoted individually, adds buyer-intent data, full API access, bi-directional CRM sync, competitor intelligence and a dedicated success manager.
Because one credit buys a full contact record rather than a single field, UpLead's cost per credit is much higher than pure email finders. It is better seen as a list-building database with built-in verification than as a tool for finding a specific person's address. The pricing page shows conflicting credit figures for annual Essentials.
Key features
- Contact database with e-mail and mobile per credit
- Real-time e-mail verification
- Technographics on 16,000+ technologies
- Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho, Pipedrive integrations
- Suppression list uploads
- Buyer-intent data on Professional
Pricing

Recruiter-oriented finder for personal and work contact details
Best for: Recruiters sourcing candidates' personal contact details
ContactOut is a contact-finding tool aimed at recruiters and sales teams. It works through a Chrome extension and search portal and also offers an API, an MCP server, e-mail campaigns, data enrichment, Gmail enrichment, a cloud phone dialer and integrations with Salesforce and applicant-tracking systems. The company claims a bulk licence covering more than 700 million profiles on its team and API plans.
ContactOut has long been associated with recruiting, where personal e-mails and phone numbers are often more useful than work addresses; its team plan is marketed as working with LinkedIn Recruiter Pro and includes team management, reporting and a dedicated account manager. The pricing page reviewed in November 2026 showed a "Sales" offer of unlimited sales users for US$299, without stating the billing period, and a toggle that excludes US and UK data for 50% off; team and API pricing is by quote. A free sign-up is offered, but its limits are not stated on the page.
The lack of published plan details makes ContactOut harder to compare than other entries, and buyers handling EU or UK personal data should assess the lawful basis for using personal (non-work) contact details before deployment.

- Personal and work e-mails and phones

Frequently asked questions
How do email finder tools work?
They combine addresses found on public web pages with the company's inferred address format, such as first.last@domain, and then check with the recipient's mail server whether the mailbox exists. Database-based tools such as Apollo.io look the person up in stored records instead. Results are returned with a status such as valid, catch-all or unknown.
Which email finder has a free plan?
Hunter offers 50 free credits a month, Lusha 40 credits a month, and Snov.io a free trial plan that renews every 30 days with 50 credits. Kaspr and Apollo.io also have free plans. Skrapp, VoilaNorbert and Dropcontact give 50 one-off credits on sign-up, and Anymail Finder offers a seven-day trial with 100 credits.
Are email finders legal under GDPR?
Using them is not prohibited, but processing an EU or UK person's data for marketing needs a lawful basis, commonly legitimate interest, plus transparency and an opt-out. Vendors take different approaches: Dropcontact states that it uses no contact database, and Findymail hosts data in the EU. Legal advice is advisable before large-scale use.
What is a catch-all email address?
A catch-all domain accepts mail sent to any address, so a mail server check cannot confirm whether a specific mailbox exists. Basic verifiers mark such results as risky or unknown. Some tools, including Findymail and Anymail Finder, advertise additional verification methods for catch-all domains.
Which email finder is cheapest?
Among the tools in this list, Anymail Finder has the lowest entry subscription at US$29 a month for 400 credits, and its yearly plans fall to about half a US cent per credit at the highest volume. VoilaNorbert offers pay-as-you-go verification from US$0.003 per address. Free plans from Hunter and Lusha cost nothing for low volumes.
Do email finders also find phone numbers?
Some do. Lusha, Kaspr, UpLead, ContactOut and Findymail supply phone numbers, usually at a higher credit cost than e-mails: five credits per number at Lusha and ten at Findymail. Hunter, Anymail Finder, Skrapp and VoilaNorbert focus on e-mail only.
