Email Finder for Startups
Enterprise email finder tools want annual contracts and per-seat fees. emailfinder.dev starts at €19/month — no annual contract, no per-seat pricing, free credits when you sign up.
Why enterprise pricing doesn't work for startups
ZoomInfo starts at around $15,000/year. Apollo.io has generous free tiers that quickly hit limits. Clearbit charged by data enrichment volume with no free tier. These pricing models were built for mid-market and enterprise teams with predictable monthly volumes — not for a two-person startup running 200 lookups before a conference.
emailfinder.dev has one pricing model: pay for verified results. No minimum, no commitment. If you run zero lookups this month, you pay nothing. The credits you bought last month are still there next month.
Free to start
Create an account and you get free credits — no credit card required. Test every endpoint, integrate the API into your stack, and validate your ICP before you spend anything. When you run out of free credits, top up on demand.
Scale as you grow
Credits are available in multiple pack sizes — the larger the pack, the lower the per-email cost. A startup doing early prospecting buys a small pack. A Series B company running outbound at scale buys a larger one. No renegotiation, no sales call, no annual contract.
At the Starter plan rate (€19/month for 1,000 credits), enriching 500 contacts costs approximately €9.50. Finding the CEO and CTO at 100 target companies costs approximately €9 (10 credits each). Compare that to a month of ZoomInfo.
