Enter a name and company
Drop in the person's full name and their company or domain. That is all the finder needs to start. Single lookup now, bulk CSV on signup.
Email contact list builder
Type a name and a company. The email contact finder returns a verified, sendable address, and your emails address list grows one proven row at a time instead of one stale import. Free to start, no signup.
Trusted by 500,000+ leading GTM teams of all sizes
One row at a time, or ten thousand
Three steps per contact. Give the builder a name and a company, let it generate and rank the candidate addresses, then keep only the one it proves is deliverable. Repeat by hand or by CSV.
Drop in the person's full name and their company or domain. That is all the finder needs to start. Single lookup now, bulk CSV on signup.
Verifox builds the likely address patterns and cross-checks them against public sources, so the right format for that domain rises to the top instead of a blind guess.
Every candidate runs through the same nine-check engine our verification API uses. You get back a confirmed, deliverable address with a confidence score, not a maybe.
Every row earns its place
A contact is more than an address. Each row the builder writes carries the evidence behind it, so you can defend every send decision later.
Field 01
The deliverable work address itself, confirmed by a live SMTP mailbox check before it is written to your list. Not a pattern, not a guess.
Field 02
The format the company actually uses, like first.last or flast. Once known, it makes every future contact at that domain a one-step add.
Field 03
A per-contact score so you can set your own bar: send cold above 90, warm up the 70s, park the rest. Your list, your risk threshold.
Field 04
Deliverable, undeliverable, or risky, summarising all nine checks. Only the rows you approve make it into the export.
Field 05
Whether the domain accepts all mail and whether the address is a role inbox like info@ or sales@, the two quiet list-killers most tools ignore.
Field 06
MX records, domain age, and SPF/DKIM/DMARC authentication status, so you can spot lookalike and throwaway domains before they pollute the list.
Why build with Verifox
Most list tools count rows and call it growth. Verifox counts deliverable rows: every address is found, pattern-matched, and SMTP-verified before it joins your list, so the bounce problem is solved at build time, not after the first send.
Every address the finder returns is run through the same nine-check verification engine before you see it, so you forward a confirmed inbox, not a hopeful pattern.
Find one contact here, or upload a list of names and companies and get a clean, verified CSV back. The same verification stack runs on every row.
Call the finder from the REST API, or drop the MCP server into your AI agent so it can find and verify addresses with zero glue code.
Works across roles and seniorities at any company domain. Prefer the reverse lookup? The email finder service covers the full workflow.
The list is the asset
A contact list for email is the working asset behind every outreach motion: the named people, at named companies, you have a real reason to write to. The catch is that the value lives entirely in deliverability. A 5,000-row list where 30% bounces is not a bigger asset than a clean 3,500-row list, it is a liability, because mailbox providers read heavy bouncing as a spam signal and quietly route the rest of your mail to junk. That is why this email contact list builder refuses to write a row it cannot prove.
Bought lists fail this test by design. Work emails decay as people change jobs, so a purchased emails address list arrives stale, collected by someone else, for someone else, on a legal basis you cannot verify. Building works the other way around. You pick the prospect, the email contact finder learns how their company formats addresses, generates the realistic candidates, and runs the best one through the 9-point verification engine: live SMTP mailbox ping, catch-all detection with AI-confidence scoring, disposable and role-address filtering, and SPF/DKIM/DMARC checks, at 99.99% measured accuracy on our 1,000-address benchmark. The single-lookup flow lives on the email finder; the bulk email finder does the same for a whole CSV.
The same discipline applies when you need to find email contact list entries you already half have. Got addresses of unknown quality? Confirm them with the free email checker before they touch your sequencer. Building inside your own stack? The REST API exposes the find-and-verify endpoints, and credits stay pay as you go, never expiring, with region-localized rates on the pricing page. Build it once, build it clean, and the list compounds instead of decaying.
Built clean, kept clean
The fastest way to fail a compliance review is a list nobody can explain. A built list has an answer for every row: who added it, when, and on what basis.
Finding a business contact's work email for relevant B2B outreach falls under GDPR's legitimate-interest basis. The builder keeps you on that ground: it works from names and company domains you choose, returns business addresses, and flags role inboxes. Verifox itself processes every lookup in memory and never stores, logs, or sells the addresses on your list. We are SOC 2 Type II audited; the details live in our GDPR documentation and privacy policy.
CAN-SPAM is about honest sending: identify yourself, no deceptive subject lines, honour unsubscribes promptly. A verified list helps more than it looks. Low bounce rates keep you off the blocklists that treat heavy bouncing as a spam signal, and the role-address flags let you drop the info@ and sales@ inboxes that generate the most complaints. Pair the list with the email blacklist check before a big send and your sender reputation stays yours.

What teams are saying
Growth leads, marketers, and engineers running real campaigns on real lists. Specific numbers, specific tools they switched from, and a verified email address on every byline.

We were paying ZeroBounce a four-figure monthly bill and still landing 3% bounces on cold campaigns. Switched the pipeline to Verifox, dropped to 0.4% bounces, and cut the bill by more than 90%.

Other tools flag 30% of our B2B list as 'risky catch-all' and leave the call to us. Verifox returns a real verdict on those addresses, with a confidence score. We send more, we send safer.

We had a Gmail spam-folder problem after a bad list import. Verifox cleaned the list and the warmup ran on the same engine. Back in primary inbox in six weeks. One vendor, half the cost.

Ran a 50,000-address outbound list through Verifox before our quarterly campaign. Bounces landed at 0.7%, sender reputation didn't move, replies were up 22% over last quarter.

Their MCP server let me wire email verification directly into our internal Claude agent in about ten minutes. Zero glue code. No other vendor in this space has thought about that workflow.

Tested Verifox at 10,000 verifications per minute on a Tuesday morning. Latency held under 400ms median, no soft failures, no rate-limit walls. The vendor we benched throttled at 2,000/min.

Our SDRs were enriching from three tools and 14% of the emails were invalid before they hit the sequencer. Verifox sits in the pipeline now and the team stopped seeing 'undeliverable' replies the next week.

Bulk upload, sorted CSV back in twenty minutes, plug into our growth stack. The half-day list-hygiene project per cohort turned into something the marketing intern runs on autopilot.

Verifox returns a 0-100 confidence score per address, not just a label. We thresholded at 75 for the cold sequencer, 60 for nurture, and our deliverability team finally has a knob they can tune.

Common questions
What teams ask before they trust a list builder: the legality, the built-versus-bought math, the catch-all problem, and exactly what happens to every address before it earns a row.
Start from names and companies, not from a purchased database. Type a prospect's name and their company or domain into the builder above: Verifox generates the likely address patterns, picks the strongest candidate, and verifies it is deliverable before it joins your list. Repeat one at a time, or upload a CSV through the bulk email finder and build the whole list in one pass.
Yes, for business contacts and legitimate B2B outreach. GDPR's legitimate-interest basis covers finding a work address to send a relevant business proposal, provided you identify yourself and honour opt-outs, which is also the core of CAN-SPAM. Verifox is GDPR compliant and SOC 2 Type II audited, and we process every lookup in memory, never storing, logging, or selling the addresses on your list.
Because a bought list is someone else's stale data. Addresses decay as people change jobs, so a purchased file arrives pre-loaded with bounces that damage your sender reputation, and you cannot prove how it was collected. A list you build is fresh, scoped to prospects you actually chose, and verified at the moment of creation. If you already own an old list, clean it first with the email verifier.
Every candidate runs through the same 9-point verification engine behind our paid API: syntax against RFC 5321/5322, domain and MX records, a live SMTP mailbox ping, disposable-domain and role-address detection, catch-all detection with AI-confidence scoring, domain age, and SPF/DKIM/DMARC authentication. On our 1,000-address benchmark the engine measures 99.99% accuracy, so a contact that joins your list is a contact you can send to.
Free to start, yes. Run lookups from this page without an account, then create a free account to claim 1,000 free credits, or 2,500 if you sign up with a work address. No card required. Ten credits cover one find-and-verify lookup, credits never expire, and volume rates are localized to your region on the pricing page.
Yes. Upload a CSV of names plus companies or domains and Verifox returns a clean file with the found address, the matched pattern, a confidence score, and a verification verdict on every row. Verification runs at roughly 10,000 emails per minute on the standard tier, so a several-thousand-row list comes back in minutes. The bulk email finder handles the whole upload-to-export flow.
We score them instead of guessing. Catch-all domains accept mail for any address, so a plain SMTP check cannot confirm the mailbox, and 20-40% of B2B email lists fail at exactly this point, the check most free tools skip. Verifox flags the catch-all and runs an AI-confidence pass, so each of those contacts carries a 0 to 100 score you can threshold before sending. The catch-all checker digs into single domains.
Yes. Every list exports as CSV with all data fields intact, ready for HubSpot, Salesforce, Apollo, Clay, or any sequencer that imports a file. To skip the file step entirely, the REST API exposes the same find-and-verify endpoints for your own pipeline, and the native MCP server lets AI agents build and verify contact rows without glue code.
An extractor scrapes whatever addresses happen to sit on a page, so you inherit dead mailboxes, role addresses, and zero context about who each contact is. The builder works the other way around: you pick the person, Verifox finds and verifies their address. Scraping has its place, the domain email extractor covers it, but a deliberate, verified list is what keeps bounce rates low. For B2B prospecting from profiles, the LinkedIn email finder uses the same engine.
A single find-and-verify lookup returns in a couple of seconds; the verification step alone has a median latency around 380 milliseconds, sub-50ms when cached. Bulk lists process in parallel rather than row by row. Uptime is backed by a 99.9% SLA on Starter and 99.99% on annual Volume contracts, with live status at status.verifox.ai.
