Cheapest way to find company emails from a list of domains

By Keencrest · 2026-11-01

Prices checked 2026-11-01 on each vendor's own pricing page or Apify Store listing. Prices change; check the linked page before you buy. We have not tested the competitors' output quality, so the tables compare price, billing unit and limits only; the one measured test is in its own section. We make the Data Gleaner Actors and say where they lose.

You have 1,000 domains in a sheet and want an address for each. No search-volume tool we queried returned a figure for this phrasing (DataForSEO, 2026-11-01), so treat this as a long-tail guide for people who already know what they need. The honest answer is that the cheapest route depends on which addresses you accept.

Five routes and their cost per 1,000 domains

Route	Price basis (source)	Cost for 1,000 domains	What you get
Do it by hand	Your time	$0 cash; at two minutes a site about 33 hours	Whatever you find
Data Gleaner Website Contact Details Scraper	$0.002 per site with an email, none otherwise (Apify listing)	$1.20 if 600 sites publish one; $2.00 if all 1,000 do	Addresses the company publishes; no verification
Apify Contact Details Scraper (vdrmota)	$0.002 per page on the Free tier plus $0.001 per GB at start (Apify listing)	About $8 at 4 pages a site (our assumption)	Published contacts and optional social enrichment
Hunter	1 credit per email found; Starter $34 a month yearly ($49 monthly) for 2,000 credits (hunter.io/pricing)	About $17 yearly-billed or $24.50 monthly at 1 credit per domain	Looked-up addresses, per-credit; free plan 50 credits a month
Snov.io	3.9 cents a credit on Starter per its FAQ (snov.io/pricing)	About $39 if one credit covers one lookup	Looked-up addresses plus outreach tools

If you only have company names

Find the domain first, by hand or from a registry or directory you are allowed to use, then run the list through the contact reader.

Our recommendation

Try the first 50 on a free plan of the tool you are considering (Hunter and Snov.io each give 50 credits a month; Apify gives $5 of usage).
If a published address is good enough for a role mailbox such as info@ or sales@, the pay-on-found Actor is the cheapest we know of at the prices above.
If you need a named person or a verified address, a credit-based finder is worth its higher price, and Hunter bills verification at 0.5 credit on top.

Whichever you choose, match results back to your sheet on domain, not row order, and check your target country's rules on unsolicited email. Step-by-step: find business emails from a list of websites.

Want it done for you? Send us your list of websites and get the company mailboxes back as a CSV ($49 per 1,000 sites).

Try it: Website Contact Details Scraper on Apify. $0.002 per site with an email, nothing for sites without one. The Apify free plan includes monthly credit, so a test run costs nothing out of pocket.
