Without further ado, let’s start by defining what an email finder is, what you can expect from one, and how we’ll analyze them before sharing with you 2022’s best email-finding tools.
What is an email finder tool?
An email finder is a tool that allows finding business email addresses of employees within specific companies. In some cases, you would find prospects on LinkedIn and then have their names and roles matched with an email address from the email finder provider’s database.
In other cases, there are well-established databases with multiple data sources that can help you get what you want – like RocketReach or ZoomInfo – although these options might be very costly and not a perfect fit for your pocket.
Most frequently used for sales, it should be noted that these tools come in super handy in recruitment, business development, marketing outreach, and press efforts.
Sometimes, these tools will also help you find people’s direct phone numbers. And finally, usually, these tools come as web apps or some form of extensions, or both.
In this guide, we’ll list out the seven best email-finding tools in 2022 including whether or not a free plan is available, the prices of paid plans, and their most notable features.
1) Hunter.io (Email Hunter)
If you’ve already googled email finders, it’s highly likely you’ve come across Hunter.io, without a doubt one of the most popular tools today.
To find an email address, you have to enter the person’s name and company domain, and Hunter.io will find their email address for you. If you upload a list of names, you can find emails in bulk.
When it’s a number of people within a certain company that you have your eye on, you can use their domain search tool to find all emails associated with it. And when you already have the email addresses of prospects, you can use their email verifier to double-check their accuracy.
Hunter.io is available as a web app and a Chrome extension that you can use to find emails associated with a website you visit.
Pricing
👉 Free plan: 25 search and 50 verification credits per month
👉 Paid plans: starting from $49 – $399 with the cheapest offering 500 search and 1,000 verification credits and the most expensive one 30,000 search and 60,000 verification credits
In cases when the latter isn’t enough, you can contact them directly and get a custom plan.
Integration options
Salesforce, Hubspot, Pipedrive, Zoho CRM, Gmail, Outlook, Zapier, and a list of third-party integrations including Syncspider, Phantombuster, and more.
Internet Chatter
Hunter.io comes with a solid cold campaign email tool that offers templates, custom attributes, scheduling, email tracking, and integrates with Gmail and Microsoft Outlook.
2) Voila Norbert
Voila Norbert is your personal email finding butler with a list of great features.
After inputting the first and last name of a person, and the company domain, Norbert will come up with an email address. To ensure it’s accurate, he sends a signal to the mail host to verify the email addresses.
Norbert also comes with an email verification tool that you can use to verify email addresses that you already have.
Finally, you can use it both as a web app or a Chrome extension to find emails associated with a website you’re currently visiting.
Pricing
👉 Free plan: 50 search credits on account creation
👉 Paid plans: starting from $49 – $449 with the cheapest offering 1,000 search credits per month, and the most expensive 50,000 search credits.
Note that Norbert charges for email verification services separately in a pay-as-you-go model with different prices depending on the number of verification requests you send.
Integration options
Zapier, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Mailshake, Drip, ReplyApp.io, Hubspot, Close.com, ConstantContact (Prospecting integrations), Mailchimp, SendGrid, JotForm, Formstack (Verify integrations)

Furthermore, their API is great in that it lets you automate email verification in real-time in your websites and applications.
3) Findthat.email
Branding itself as the yellow pages of the internet, Findthat.email is an email-finding Chrome extension used by the likes of HP, General Electric and GAP.
In comparison to other tools on this list, its free plan is ranked among the best ones.
Finally, Findthat.email also offers a REST API that lets you integrate their tool with your app to search or verify emails with a single HTTP request.
Pricing
👉 Free plan: 50 search credits and 100 verification credits
👉 Paid plans range from $29 – $2,499 with the cheapest plan offering 250 search credits and 750 verification credits, and the most expensive plan offering 100,000 search credits and 500,000 verification credits

Pipedrive, HubSpot, MailChimp, Salesforce and more using Zapier.
Internet Chatter
Each Findthat.email result comes with a confidence score that’s quite nifty, especially if you use two or more email finders.
Furthermore, its accuracy ranks among the highest based on a short test done by Ahrefs.
4) Aeroleads
With its prices, Aeroleads is definitely one of the best contenders for the email finder of choice for small businesses, but it doesn’t stop there.
They have one of the best bulk search features, including a Pro Plugin that helps automate prospecting while browsing through potential leads on LinkedIn or other websites.
Available as both a web app and Chrome extension, in addition to the email address, Aeroleads helps find detailed information about the prospect such as the job title, company details, address, etc.
Pricing
👉 Free plan: 10 search credits
👉 Paid plans range from $49 – $499 with the cheapest one offering 2,000 credits, and the most expensive one 30,000 credits.
They also offer custom plans when the above isn’t enough.

Internet Chatter
Aeroleads’ plans rank among the most affordable while its tool is one of the few that works on multiple websites including LinkedIn, GitHub, CrunchBase, AngelList, and more.
5) Datanyze
Datanyze is a great email-finding tool for beginners, although you should note that your business may quickly outgrow it.
Its most expensive plan offers 160 monthly credits which are significantly fewer than the rest on this list.
Datanyze is available as both a web app and a Chrome extension.
Pricing
👉 Free plan: 90 days free plan with 10 credits per month
👉 Paid plans: $29 – $55 per month, the former offering 80 credits per month, and the latter 160 credits
Integration options

Internet Chatter
Even if you don’t end up choosing Datanyze as your email finder, make sure to check out its Market Share Technographics section on its website which hosts great insight into today’s most popular technology categories. Their blog is also very informative for anyone learning about prospecting.
6) Clearbit
Clearbit works a bit differently compared to other tools on this list in that it offers a Data Activation Platform where you can search their database for your prospects.
This Data Activation Platform comes with many additional features developed to help you scale, automate revenue operations, send out targeted marketing campaigns, and more.
They also offer a Gmail extension called Clearbit Connect that lets you search for prospect emails using the domain name. Although the company has discontinued support for this tool, it is currently still operational.
Keep in mind that Clearbit isn’t among the most affordable solutions and its platform features may be an overkill for small businesses just starting out with prospecting.
Pricing
Clearbit piercing packages are based on total ad spend, monthly web traffic, and database size and growth. You’ll have to contact them to get your custom estimate.
Integration options
Salesforce, Segment, Marketo, Hubspot, 9 Clearbit APIs, Pardot, Slack, Zapier, Intercom, Qualified, Drift, Mutiny, LeadData, G2, Reactful, Madkudu, Chili Piper, Uberflip, Hull, CustomFit.ai, Make, Outgrow, ServiceBell, Tray.io, Clari, Workato, and more.
Internet Chatter
The Clearbit Data Activation Platform is a very powerful tool where you can even reveal and convert ideal website visitors to ensure you don’t miss out on any warm leads.
7) skrapp
Skrapp is your most basic email finder tool that offers email lookup, company email search, and an email verified — but it does these tasks incredibly well.
Available as both a web app and Chrome extension, skrapp allows individual and bulk email lookup, as well as access to their email finder through their API endpoint.
Pricing
👉 Free with 50 credits per month
👉 Paid from $49 – $1,699 with the cheapest offering 1,000 credits and the most expensive 500,000 credits
Integration options
Only API integrations are currently available.
Internet Chatter
If you use a CRM but don’t have enough time to manually import/export data or connect skrapp to it via API, you may be better off with another tool from this list.
8) Lusha
A great email finder and data enrichment platform, Lusha is a great tool to check out in 2022. If you’re an SME, just note that Lusha is on the expensive side.
Lusha is available as a web app and a Chrome extension.
Pricing
👉 Free plan with 5 monthly credits
👉 Paid plans from $39 – $69 with 40 and 80 credits respectively
Custom plan available when the above isn’t enough
Integration options
Salesforce, HubSpot, Outreach, Microsoft Dynamics, Salesloft, Bullhorn, Pipedrive, Zoho, Gmail, Outlook, Zapier
Internet chatter
Lusha comes with a great enterprise-grade integration with Salesforce that helps automate your sales process and workflow.
However, if you’re after prospect phone numbers, you may want to choose another solution on this list since Lusha often can’t find direct phone numbers for your leads.
9) Snov.io
Loaded with features such as email finder, CRM, email outreach tool and more, Snov.io is a great collection of sales tools that could be useful for businesses just starting out with no infrastructure already set.
Snov.io offers a platform for finding and verifying emails, as well as a Chrome extension for collecting prospects on LinkedIn or other company websites.
It has a fairly good freemium plan so anyone can explore the tool before actually signing up. Keep in mind that their prices can get high because the platform includes a lot more than just a tool for finding and verifying emails.
Pricing
👉 Free plan with 150 credits per month
👉 Paid plans from $39 – $738, the cheapest with 1,000 credits and the most expensive with 100,000 credits
Integration options
Hubspot, Salesforce, Zoho CRM, Pipedrive, Adapt, Close, Freshworks CRM, Nutshell, Asana, Slack, Trello, Intercom, Twilio, Gmail, Microsoft Outlook, Freshmarketer, Mailchimp, and more.
Internet chatter
Test out the tool in the freemium model before signing up — internet reviews often say that their browser extension for finding emails is only moderately accurate.
10) Kendo
Although also available as a web app, Kendo is most famous for its Chrome extension that lets you find emails on LinkedIn with only one click.
It comes with the basic email finding platform tools, in addition to a phone verification tool and Instagram search which looks for email addresses based on a hashtag used. While the prospect of it is fun, note that the Instagram search tool isn’t something to rely on.
Having said that, Kendo is one of the cheapest subscription-based solutions you can find for small businesses.
Pricing
👉 Free plan with 50 credits each month
👉 Paid plans from $17 – $129 with the cheapest one offering 600 credits and the most expensive plan 10,000 credits per month
Integration options
Hubspot, Zoho, Pipedrive, Recruitee, Salesflare, Freshsales, Mailchimp. API also available.
Internet chatter
Reviews mention that the accuracy may not be among the highest, especially when it comes to the phone verification tool. Kendo has also been known to find personal email addresses instead of company-owned ones.
11) AnyMail Finder
Available as a web app and Chrome extension, AnyMail Finder lets you find specific emails or perform domain searches including mass searches for files with up to 50,000 entries.
Its browser extension works on LinkedIn, Sales Navigator and with LinkedIn group members.
In cases when you don’t have a stakeholder’s name, the AnyMail Finder Search by Job Title Feature could be a life saver!
Pricing
👉 Free plan with 20 credits per month
👉 Paid plans from $49 – $149 with the cheapest one offering 1,000 credits and the most expensive one 10,000 credits
Integration options
No direct integrations available, API only.
Internet chatter
Reviews often mention that the tool isn’t very accurate. Moreover, note that the monthly credits you don’t use expire after thirty days, in contrast to tools like Kendo that just add the leftover credits on top of next month’s credits.
12) Getprospect
Getprospect is among the most popular tools on this list.
They offer a great web app where you can perform your searches, as well as a browser extension. There have been complaints about the browser extension lagging at times (especially if you’re using an older computer).
Recently, they announced that an outreach marketing platform was coming soon which could be an interesting 2-in-1 solution for small businesses who aren’t already using one.
Pricing
👉 Free plan with 50 monthly credits
👉 Paid plans from $49 – $399 with the cheapest offering 1,000 credits and the most expensive one 50,000 credits
Integration options
Via Zapier: Mailchimp, Pipedrive, Salesforce, Close, Zoho CRM, Hubspot
Internet chatter
If you’re into cold calling, Getprospect probably isn’t for you since it doesn’t look for phone numbers.
And when compared to competitors, its pricing may be a bit too high for SMEs.
This one is a bonus –
ZeroIn is one of the newer tools on this list that lets you discover verified business emails, phone numbers, and company profiles in a single click with a light CRM that helps you store and manage the data.
What’s even better, it works on Free and Sales Navigator Linkedin profiles and matches your people’s search results and/or single profile views with a growing database to deliver business emails of the person as well as other 20+ data points on the contacts and the company level.
This means, you can easily turn your LinkedIn account into a powerhouse and have a neat CRM to get you started.
