The Best Email Lookup Tools

There are plenty of email lookup tools to help you find any person’s email address. Some of them function as standalone apps and websites, while others work as browser plugins.

Here are my favorite email lookup tools to find anyone’s email address:

1. Hunter.

With Hunter, you can take advantage of a built-in email finder, domain search, and email verification process. If you focus on a domain, you can enter the company name and generate a list of every public email address available under that company.

You can also focus your search on one individual, if you’re trying to track someone down.

Verified email addresses in this app are 95% deliverable. The free plan gets you 150 credits per month.

2. Voila Norbert.

Norbert is a virtual assistant that was developed to help salespeople and other professionals find more accurate email address information. Here, you’ll use your browser (rather than a plugin or a separate app).

You’ll enter whatever information you currently have, and Norbert will search the web for the rest of the information you need. You can also verify emails in real-time so you know your messages aren’t going to get bounced.

From the outset, you’ll get 50 leads for free.

3. ContactOut.

ContactOut is a HR-centric email lookup tool that helps you find both email addresses and phone numbers.

With it, you can search a person’s name and/or domain, and scour the web for their contact information. You can count on a 97 percent accuracy rating with this tool, and according to the website, you can use it to find information from 65 percent of the western world.

You’ll get 100 credits for free when you sign up.

4. RevenueBase.

RevenueBase stands out as a newcomer in the realm of B2B lead databases, priding itself on delivering data that’s not only cleaner and more up-to-date (hello, fewer bounced emails) but also without the frustrating export limits often found with other providers.

It shines with its advanced filtering capabilities and integrated email verification, making it a go-to resource for sourcing B2B contact info efficiently.

5. Apollo.

Apollo is a Chrome extension and lead database all-in-one. It automatically finds email addresses from LinkedIn searches or profiles with the click of a button, and saves them to lists that you can export as you need.

You get 150 credits/mo on the free plan, and unlimited email credits on any of the paid plans, so it’s a fantastic deal compared to many of the other email lookup tools on this list.

6. Vocus.io.

Next, there’s Vocus.io, a Chrome extension. When enabled, you can type any person’s name, and attempt to find their email address.

The extension will prompt you for a company domain, then generate a list of possible email addresses that person could have. Combined with its email verification tool, it can quickly whittle down the options to the correct one.

This tool also has other features, like email scheduling, automated reminders, and CRM integration.

The free trial is 30 days, allowing you 3 prospecting credits per day.

7. Anymail Finder.

With Anymail Finder, you’ll use name and domain information (like with many of the tools on this list) and hopefully find a verified email for the individual you’re searching for.

You’ll also get the benefit of direct server validation, so you can be sure the email you’re using is real. If the company isn’t 100 percent sure the email is accurate and deliverable, you’ll get access to the lead for free.

You can also bulk-verify a list of emails.

8. Slintel.
