Key takeaways
- check_circleCost per contact ranges from about $0.02 with Apollo to about $0.03 with Wiza on its Email plan, on its Starter plan, a 24x spread for a job that looks identical in the browser.
- check_circleUnlimited rarely means unlimited. ContactOut markets unlimited emails on its $25 plan with a fair-use cap around 2,000 and 300 exports a month, and G2 reviewers call that out by name.
- check_circleEvaboot is the only one here that charges nothing for an unverified address: 1 credit buys a lead export or a verified email, and a guess is free.
- check_circleExtensions and APIs solve different problems. An extension is a person clicking; an API is a job running. If enrichment has to happen without anyone watching, an extension is the wrong tool whatever it costs.
- check_circleApollo is the cheapest per contact at roughly $0.02, and also the one with the most reported data-quality complaints: 503 G2 mentions of inaccurate data against 9,526 reviews.
- check_circleMailsfinder has no Chrome extension. It is on the roadmap and not shipped, so if a browser click is the workflow you want, one of the other nine is the answer today.
- check_circleFree tiers worth testing with: Skrapp at 50 credits once, Apollo at 75 per user a month, Lusha at 40 a month, GetProspect at 50 valid emails a month.
- check_circleEvery extension on this page reads a page you are already allowed to see. That is not a legal opinion, and if you operate in the EU the lawful basis for what you do next is your problem, not the extension's.
What an email extractor extension actually does
An email extractor is a browser extension that reads the page you are looking at, identifies the people on it, and resolves their work email addresses. On LinkedIn or Sales Navigator it reads the profile or the search results. On a company website it scrapes visible text for anything shaped like an address. The resolving happens on the vendor's servers, against the same databases and pattern engines that power their APIs, so the extension is a convenient front door rather than a separate product.
Two limits decide whether a given extension suits you, and neither is on the pricing page in large type. The first is the export cap: how many rows you can pull out per month, which is often much smaller than the credit count. The second is what a credit buys, because vendors differ on whether an unverified guess costs the same as a confirmed address. Read both before you compare headline prices.
The word unlimited deserves particular suspicion. Where it appears, there is a fair-use policy behind it, and the number in that policy is the real limit. ContactOut is the clearest case here: unlimited emails on the $25 plan, with roughly 2,000 in practice and 300 exports a month, which reviewers on G2 describe as deceptive rather than generous.
Everything below is costed per contact at the entry tier, using each vendor's own published numbers as of September 2026. Where a vendor counts in exports rather than credits, the note says so, because that is usually the binding constraint.
The tools at a glance
How we evaluated these tools
Seven of these came from our research data, which carries verified G2 ratings and review counts. Lusha and Evaboot are not in that data, so their pricing was read from their own pricing pages on 23 September 2026 and their ratings are left out rather than guessed. Accuracy figures are reported as vendor claims, because no two of them were measured on the same list.
Cost per contact at the entry tier
Plan price divided by the contacts the entry plan can actually export, not by the credits it advertises.
The export cap, not the credit count
Several plans hand out more credits than they let you export. The smaller number is the one you will hit.
Verified before it reaches your CSV
Whether the address was checked against the mail server, or handed over as a pattern guess for you to clean up later.
Sales Navigator and bulk export
Whether the extension can process a whole search result rather than one profile at a time, which is the difference between an afternoon and a week.
Three kinds of extractor, and which one you are installing
They all sit in the same corner of the toolbar. What happens when you click is not the same thing.
LinkedIn and Sales Navigator exporters
Wiza, Evaboot and Skrapp are built to take a whole Sales Navigator search and turn it into a clean CSV. This is the highest-leverage version of the job and it is priced accordingly.
Profile-by-profile revealers
ContactOut and Lusha sit beside a single profile and reveal an address, often with a phone number. Recruiters live here. Export caps bite sooner than credit counts do.
Platform extensions
Apollo, Hunter, Snov.io and GetProspect ship an extension as one surface of a larger product. You are buying the platform; the extension comes with it.
Every tool, side by side
Rank is a table position, not a promotional order.
| Tool | Type | Entry price | Cost per contact | Free tier | Rating |

Pricing from the research data or, for Lusha and Evaboot, from their own pricing pages read on 23 September 2026. Ratings shown only where our research data carries a verified figure and review count. Accuracy figures are vendor claims on vendor samples. Cost per unit uses each vendor's best published rate, which is usually a larger pack or plan than the entry price in the column beside it, so the two do not divide into each other.

What extracting a list of contacts costs, extension to extension
Figures use each vendor's published entry rate per exported contact. Where a plan caps exports below its credit count, the cap is used. Apollo is priced per user, so multiply by seats.

The tools, reviewed
Every tool gets the same card: what it is, four features, three pros, three cons, and an honest read. Same format for ours as for everyone else's.
Apollo
Cheapest per contact, platform extension
At 2,500 credits for $49 a user, Apollo is the cheapest contact on this page by a wide margin, and the extension is one surface of a platform that also holds a database, sequences and a CRM layer. The review record is the largest here and the most divided: 9,526 G2 reviews at 4.7, with ease of use the top positive theme at 1,679 mentions and inaccurate data at 503. Reddit threads on bounce rates are easy to find. Both things are true at once, which is what a database this large looks like at this price.
Key features
- check2,500 credits per user a month on the $49 annual Basic plan, which is the lowest unit price here.
- checkExtension plus database plus sequences the extension is a way into a product you would otherwise buy separately.
- checkCredit refund on a bounce if a verified email bounces within 30 days, the credit comes back.
- checkAPI from Basic upward so the same data is available without a browser.
Pros
- addLowest cost per contact on this page
- addLargest verified review base here
- addCredit refunded if a verified email bounces
Cons
- remove503 G2 reviews cite inaccurate data
- removePriced per user, so seats multiply the bill
- removeSupport response times draw mixed reviews
The honest read
Enormous value if you verify before you send, and a bounce problem if you do not. At two cents a contact you can afford to throw away the bad rows, provided you actually check which ones they are.
ContactOut
Recruiting, personal emails, unlimited with a cap
Recruiters choose ContactOut for personal email addresses, which the other tools here mostly do not reach, and for integrations with Greenhouse, Lever and Bullhorn. The claim is triple verification and 97 percent accuracy; an independent test put it nearer 93. The friction is the pricing language: the $25 Email plan says unlimited, the fair-use cap sits around 2,000 emails, and exports are limited to 300 a month. G2 reviewers use the word deceptive about that gap, and the export cap is the one you hit first.
Key features
- checkPersonal as well as work addresses the reason recruiting teams pick it over a sales tool.
- checkTriple verification vendor claim of 97 percent, independently tested nearer 93.
- checkATS integrations Greenhouse, Lever, Bullhorn, plus Salesforce and HubSpot.
- check5 free reveals a day a standing free tier rather than a one-time trial.
Pros
- addReaches personal emails others miss
- addStrong ATS and recruiting integrations
- addFree tier renews daily
Cons
- removeUnlimited is capped around 2,000 emails
- remove300 exports a month binds before credits do
- removeAPI only on the Team plan
The honest read
The best tool here for recruiting and the most misleading pricing page. Budget against 300 exports a month and it is good value; budget against the word unlimited and you will be annoyed by week three.
Evaboot
Sales Navigator export, verified only
One plan, one rate, one balance: $0.09 a credit, where a credit buys either a lead export or a verified email, and an unverified guess costs nothing. That last part is unusual and it is the reason Evaboot is the pick for Sales Navigator work. You choose your monthly credit volume from 100 upward, so the entry cost is $9 rather than a tier you grow into, and API access and team seats are included at every level rather than gated behind an enterprise plan.
Key features
- checkUnverified emails are free you pay for exports and confirmed addresses, not guesses.
- checkOne balance across every tool Sales Navigator export, finder, verifier, LinkedIn enrichment.
- checkAPI and unlimited seats included no tier gate on either, which is rare here.
- checkVolume you choose 100 to 200,000 credits a month at the same $0.09 rate.
Pros
- addNo charge for unverified addresses
- addAPI and team seats on every plan
- addEntry cost of $9, not a tier
Cons
- removeNot in our verified review data
- removeNo standing free tier to test with
- removeBuilt for Sales Navigator, thin elsewhere
The honest read
The cleanest pricing model on this page, on a tool that does one job. If your prospecting starts in Sales Navigator, start here. If it does not, this is not the tool for you.
Skrapp.io
Free tier that renews, deliverable-only billing
The extension covers LinkedIn, Sales Navigator and company domain search, with 329 G2 reviews at 4.5 behind it and a 92 percent find rate as the vendor claim. Two things make it the sensible default for most people: the free plan renews at 100 credits every month rather than expiring, and paid plans bill only for deliverable results, so a catch-all or invalid address does not cost you. Pricing is $39 a month for 1,000 credits, or $30 on annual. The catch is API access, which sits on the enterprise tiers.
Key features
- check100 free credits a month, forever the most generous standing free tier on this page.
- checkBilled on deliverable results only valid and catch-all count, the rest do not.
- checkLinkedIn, Sales Navigator and domain search three entry points into the same balance.
- check329 G2 reviews at 4.5 a large verified base for a tool at this price.
Pros
- addFree tier renews monthly, no expiry
- addOnly deliverable results are billed
- addLarge verified review base
Cons
- removeAPI only on enterprise plans
- removeVendor accuracy claim is unaudited
- removeExtension is the main surface, not an API
The honest read
The safest starting point here, because you can measure it properly before paying anything. If you later need an API, the tier jump is steep enough that you would probably switch vendors instead.
Hunter
Extension attached to a full platform
Hunter's extension shows the addresses it holds for whatever company page you are on, and auto-verifies on the way out. It is the piece of a platform that also includes Domain Search, a verifier, campaigns and one of the better-documented APIs in this category, with 634 G2 reviews at 4.4. At $49 for 2,000 credits, or $34 a month annual, the unit price is competitive. Independent tests of the verifier land nearer 70 percent than the 91 percent headline, and Reddit threads report bounce rates well above the sub-2 percent claim.
Key features
- checkAuto-verification on every result the address is checked before it reaches you.
- checkDomain Search in the extension every address Hunter holds for the company, not just one person.
- checkAPI on all plans including free the only platform here with no tier gate on programmatic access.
- checkCampaigns included basic sending, so a small team may not need a separate tool.
Pros
- addAround $0.025 per contact at entry
- addAPI available on the free plan
- addVerification built into every result
Cons
- removeIndependent verifier tests run near 70 percent
- remove50 free credits a month is thin
- removeCredits are consumed by searches, not just hits
The honest read
The most complete package at this price and the one whose accuracy claims deserve the most scrutiny. Use the free tier on your own rows before you take the 91 percent figure at face value.
Wiza
Emails and phones in one pull
Wiza turns a Sales Navigator search into a CSV with emails and phone numbers verified in real time, and the quality claims are the strongest on this page: 95 percent accuracy, 99 percent plus deliverability, under 1 percent bounce. With 1,155 G2 reviews at 4.5 there is enough evidence to take that seriously. The price reflects it and then some: Starter is $49 for 100 emails and 100 phones, which is $0.49 a contact, and the top three complaint themes in its own reviews are expensive, limited credits and limited contacts.
Key features
- checkEmails and phones together one export, both fields, verified in real time.
- checkUnder 1 percent bounce reported the strongest deliverability record here.
- checkUnlimited emails on the annual Email plan at $83 a month, which changes the unit economics completely.
- checkCRM integrations Salesforce, HubSpot, Outreach, Salesloft, Pipedrive.
Pros
- addBest reported bounce rate on this page
- addEmails and phones in a single export
- add1,155 G2 reviews at 4.5
Cons
- remove$0.49 a contact on the Starter plan
- removeExpensive is the top complaint theme in its reviews
- removeAPI only on the $449 Team plan
The honest read
Priced for teams whose cost per meeting dwarfs their cost per contact, and it earns that on quality. At Starter the arithmetic is hard to defend; the annual Email plan at $83 is where it starts making sense.
Lusha
Profile revealer with phone numbers
Lusha sits beside a LinkedIn profile and reveals contact details, with a large B2B database behind it and a strong compliance story aimed at European buyers. The credit arithmetic is the part to watch: Starter is $49.90 a month for 400 credits, an email reveal costs 1 credit and a phone reveal costs 5, so a workflow that wants both numbers through your balance five times faster than the plan page suggests. The free plan gives 40 credits a month, which is enough to see whether the coverage works for your market.
Key features
- check400 credits for $49.90 or $37.45 a month on annual billing.
- checkPhone reveals cost 5 credits email reveals cost 1, which is the key to budgeting it.
- check40 free credits a month a standing allowance rather than a trial.
- checkEnterprise compliance posture the reason it appears on European shortlists.
Pros
- addStrong phone coverage alongside email
- addFree plan renews monthly
- addRecognised compliance documentation
Cons
- removePhone reveals burn 5 credits each
- removeAround $0.125 per email at entry
- removeNot in our verified review data
The honest read
Sensible if phone numbers are part of the job and the 5-credit cost is in your model. If you only want email addresses, you are paying a premium for capability you are not using.
Snov.io
Extension plus campaigns
The Snov.io extension pulls contacts from LinkedIn into the same account that runs your drip campaigns, which is the argument for the whole product: $39 a month buys 1,000 credits and 5,000 campaign recipients, so if you were going to pay for a sending tool anyway the effective extraction cost is well below the sticker. Verification runs through a seven-stage process with a claimed 93 percent accuracy, though reported figures land nearer 75 to 80. There are 483 G2 reviews at 4.5 behind it.
Key features
- checkExtension, finder, verifier and campaigns one credit pool across all of them.
- check5,000 campaign recipients on entry real value if you would otherwise buy a sequencer.
- checkSeven-stage verification vendor claim of 93 percent, reported nearer 75 to 80.
- check1.72 percent bounce on valid addresses the vendor's own published figure.
Pros
- addExtraction and sending on one bill
- add483 G2 reviews at 4.5
- addAnnual billing at $29.25 a month
Cons
- removeNo API access on the free plan
- removeClaimed accuracy sits well above reported
- removePlatform complexity if you only want addresses
The honest read
Good economics when you use the campaigns and mediocre when you do not. Judge it as a sales platform, because that is what you are buying.
GetProspect
Counts valid emails, not credits
GetProspect counts in valid emails rather than credits, so the number on the plan is the number of addresses you get: $49 a month for 1,000, or $34 on annual, with 2,000 verifications alongside. The extension works on LinkedIn profiles and search results, and there is a light CRM behind it. The vendor claims 95 percent accuracy with a credits-back guarantee if data falls below it; Reddit tests of the same product report 60 to 84 percent. At 4.0 across 41 G2 reviews it has the lowest verified rating here.
Key features
- checkPriced in valid emails the plan number is the address number, with catch-all verification included.
- checkAPI on every plan including free 50 valid emails a month is enough to prototype against.
- check95 percent accuracy or credits back the vendor's stated guarantee.
- check2,000 verifications bundled on top of the 1,000 finds at entry.
Pros
- addPlan counts addresses, not credits
- addAPI included on the free plan
- addVerifications bundled with finds
Cons
- remove4.0 on G2, the lowest verified rating here
- removeReddit tests report 60 to 84 percent accuracy
- removeAround $0.049 per address at entry
The honest read
Honest pricing arithmetic on a product whose accuracy claim does not survive user testing. The free tier with API access is genuinely useful; treat the 95 percent figure as a target rather than a measurement.
Which one fits your situation
Pick by the shape of your week, not by the size of the database.
| If this is you | Start here |
|---|---|
| You export whole Sales Navigator searches | Evaboot at $0.09 a credit with no charge for unverified addresses, or Wiza if you want phones in the same pull and can justify $0.49 a contact at Starter. |
| You want the lowest cost per contact | Apollo at roughly $0.02 per email on the Basic plan. Read the data-quality section first, because 503 G2 reviews mention inaccurate data. |
| You are recruiting and need personal emails and phones | ContactOut is built for it, with triple verification and ATS integrations. Treat the unlimited claim as roughly 2,000 emails and 300 exports a month. |
| You want a free tier you can keep using | Skrapp gives 50 credits once, so it is an evaluation allowance rather than a standing tier. Apollo gives 75 per user a month. |
| You need the addresses verified before they hit your CSV | Skrapp bills only for deliverable results, Evaboot charges only for verified emails, and Hunter auto-verifies on the way out. |
| Nobody will be clicking, because it runs overnight | None of these. An extension needs a person and a browser tab. Use a finder API instead, and there is a comparison of nine of them linked at the foot of this page. |
Five ways extractor budgets go wrong
The pattern is always the same: the constraint you hit is not the one on the pricing page.
Reading unlimited as unlimited
Where a plan says unlimited, find the fair-use policy and treat its number as the plan. ContactOut's unlimited email plan is roughly 2,000 emails and 300 exports a month, and it is the most-cited complaint in its G2 reviews.
Comparing credits instead of exports
Wiza's Email plan gives unlimited reveals and 2,500 exports a month for $83. Lusha Starter gives 400 credits for $49.90, but a phone reveal costs 5 of them. Until you convert to the thing you actually export, the numbers are not comparable.
Paying the same for a guess and a confirmed address
Evaboot charges only for verified emails and Skrapp bills only for deliverable results. Most others charge the credit either way, which means your bill includes the rows you will later delete.
Using an extension where a job belongs
If enrichment happens on a schedule, inside a form handler, or against a CRM, an extension cannot do it. Every vendor here also sells an API, usually on a higher tier, and that is the product you want.
Skipping verification because the extension showed a green tick
Vendors mean different things by verified, and B2B addresses decay at roughly a quarter a year regardless. Verify the export before the send, especially for anything collected more than a month ago.
Category picks
Sales Navigator exports
Evaboot charges $0.09 a credit, nothing for unverified addresses, and includes API access and team seats in the same balance.
Lowest cost per contact
Apollo works out around $0.02 per email on the $49 Basic plan, with the caveats about data quality in its section.
Recruiting and personal emails
ContactOut triple-verifies, reaches personal addresses others miss, and integrates with Greenhouse, Lever and Bullhorn.
Free tier that keeps renewing
Skrapp.io gives 100 credits a month forever and bills only for deliverable results on paid plans.
Phones alongside emails
Wiza returns both in one Sales Navigator pull with a reported bounce rate under 1 percent, at Starter prices that reflect it.
Extension attached to a full platform
Hunter adds Domain Search, verification and campaigns behind the same $49 plan, with 634 G2 reviews at 4.4.
What you actually pay
The same nine at their entry tier, priced per contact. Where a plan caps exports below its credit count, the export cap is the number that matters and the note says so.
| Tool | Free plan | Entry price | What the entry price buys | Cost per contact, best plan |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Apollo | 75 credits per user a month | $49/user/mo annual, $59 monthly | 2,500 credits per user a month | ~$0.02 |
| ContactOut | 5 emails, phones and exports a day | $25/mo Email, $49 Email plus Phone | Unlimited reveals, capped at 300 exports a month | ~$0.083 |
| Evaboot | No standing free tier | $9/mo at 100 credits | Credits at $0.09 each, scaling from 100 to 200,000 a month | ~$0.09 |
| Skrapp.io | 50 credits, one time | $39/mo, $29 annual | 2,000 credits a month, 2 users | ~$0.019 |
| Hunter | 50 credits a month, API included | $49/mo, $34 annual | 2,000 credits a month | ~$0.025 |
| Wiza | 20 emails and 5 phones a month | $83/mo Email, billed $990 a year | Unlimited email reveals, 2,500 exports a month | ~$0.033 |
| Lusha | 40 credits a month | $49.90/mo, $37.45 annual | 400 credits a month | ~$0.125 |
| Snov.io | 50 credits and 100 recipients a month | $39/mo, $29.25 annual | 1,000 credits plus 5,000 email recipients | ~$0.039 |
| GetProspect | 50 valid emails and 100 verifications a month | $49/mo, $34 annual | 1,000 valid emails plus 2,000 verifications | ~$0.049 |
