How It Works

From journalist name to verified pitch list in four steps

1

Identify Your Targets

Compile a list of journalists and editors who cover your beat. Use beat-tracking tools, follow recent bylines, or scan a publication's contributor page.

2

Search By Name & Domain

Enter the journalist's full name and the publication's domain. Mailsfinder runs pattern detection across verified email formats for that outlet.

3

Verify Before You Pitch

Every returned email runs through MX, SMTP, and catch-all checks. You only pay credits for valid addresses, so bounces stay near zero.

4

Send Your Pitch

Export your verified media list to CSV or push it through the API into your sequencer of choice. Track opens, replies, and coverage.

Why PR Teams Pick Mailsfinder

Stop paying $5,000 a year for a media database you barely use

Legacy PR tools bundle outreach software, contact data, and reporting for $5,000 to $15,000 per year. Most teams only need one thing: a verified email for a specific reporter at a specific publication. Mailsfinder does that one job at a fraction of the cost, with higher accuracy and zero contracts.

Frequently Asked

Questions PR teams ask before switching

How does Mailsfinder find a journalist's individual email at a publication? expand_more

You enter the journalist's full name and the publication's domain (e.g., techcrunch.com, theverge.com). Mailsfinder searches its database, runs pattern detection across the publication's verified email formats, and validates the result through SMTP and MX checks before returning a verified address.

Does Mailsfinder verify journalist emails before I pitch? expand_more

Yes. Every email returned is run through built-in verification including syntax checks, MX record validation, and SMTP handshake. You only get charged for valid, deliverable addresses, so your bounce rate stays low and your sender reputation stays intact.

Is Mailsfinder GDPR-compliant for media outreach? expand_more

Mailsfinder only surfaces business email addresses tied to a journalist's professional role at a publication. Data is sourced from public records and the platform supports opt-out and data subject rights under GDPR. Always pair outreach with a clear opt-out and relevant pitch to stay compliant.

Can I upload a list of journalists and bulk-find their emails? expand_more

Yes. Upload a CSV of journalist names and publication domains, and Mailsfinder returns a verified email list in minutes. Most users build complete media lists of 200 to 500 journalists for a single press campaign in under an hour.

What is the pricing for PR teams? expand_more

Mailsfinder is $9.99/month for 300,000 credits, $7.99/month billed annually ($95.88/year), or $249 lifetime for 2,000,000 credits. That works out to roughly $0.001 per verified email, significantly cheaper than legacy media databases that charge thousands per year.

How is this different from Cision, Muck Rack, or Prowly? expand_more
