How many emails can I find for free?

The tool allows 25 credits per UTC day, enough for one found work email. Each search reserves 25 credits while it runs. A search that finds nothing costs no credits after settlement, so you can try again within the remaining allowance. Limits apply to both your browser session and IP address.

What happens after my daily allowance is used?

New searches pause until midnight UTC. The form shows how long you need to wait. Existing results remain available for 24 hours, and you can continue with larger lists in the Datablist app.

What does it cost in the Datablist app?

25 Datablist credits per email found when using the default waterfall. Lookups that come back empty cost nothing. A $20 credit pack is 20,000 credits, which is up to 800 found emails.

How is this different from a normal email finder?

A waterfall tries multiple available providers rather than relying on a single lookup. The free tool returns the address and its deliverability status without exposing provider details. Custom provider keys and larger lists are available in the Datablist app.

What do I need to provide?

Either a first name, last name and company, or a LinkedIn profile URL. A company domain beats a company name, because it removes the guesswork of matching the name to the right business first.

Can I search from a LinkedIn profile instead?

Yes, select LinkedIn URL above the fields and paste the profile URL. It has to be a person's profile (linkedin.com/in/...), not a company page. This is useful when you know who someone is but not where they work.

Do you find personal email addresses?

This tool finds work emails. Datablist has a separate Personal Email Finder enrichment for consumer addresses, which is a different product with different rules around it.

Why a waterfall beats a single lookup

A waterfall, not one provider

Providers are tried one after another until one has the person. Some are databases, some derive the address from a known company pattern and verify it. A single-method finder gives you whatever that one method can reach, and nothing when it can't.

See the address and its status

The result includes the email and its available deliverability status. An unverified address needs further checking before outreach.

You only pay for hits

On a paid plan the waterfall costs 25 credits per email found. Lookups that come back empty cost nothing, so a low-quality list does not quietly drain your balance.

How it works

Give us a name and a company

First name, last name, and either the company name or its domain. A domain is more reliable, because it skips the step of working out which business the name refers to. If you only have a LinkedIn profile, select LinkedIn URL and paste that instead.

We run a waterfall, not a single lookup

Datablist tries available work-email providers in sequence and stops when an address is found. The free tool uses the synchronous waterfall; larger lists and the full workflow are available in the Datablist app.

You see what was actually found

Copy the address or download the result as CSV. If no email is found, the reserved credits return to your daily allowance once the task settles. Your results can be reopened in this browser for 24 hours.

Use cases

Building a lead list that can actually be contacted

A name and a company are not reachable. Turning a scraped or exported list into one you can send to is the step that makes it worth anything.

Finding Emails At Scale

Filling the gaps in a list you already have

Most exports arrive part-complete. Run only the rows missing an address, and pay for nothing on the ones that come back empty.

Using your own provider keys

Already paying for Hunter, Dropcontact or similar? Run the waterfall against your own keys and skip the Datablist credit system entirely.

Custom Waterfall Email Finder

Personalising before you send

A verified address is the start, not the finish. What decides whether the email works is whether the first line reads like it was written for one person.

Cold Email Personalization

What 1,000 found emails actually cost

Per-credit prices hide the thing that matters, which is what you pay for a thousand addresses you can actually send to. Hunter is cheaper per email because it queries one index. A waterfall costs more per lookup and finds the people a single source doesn't have. Among waterfalls, Datablist is the cheapest.
