How do I find B2B leads?

1. Open the Actor and add your filters, e.g. job title Head of Marketing, seniority director, company industry software, company size 50-1000. Leave a filter empty to not constrain on it.
2. Set Max results. This caps how many leads you get back, and your spend.
3. (Optional) Enable add-ons. Turn on Find business email and/or Enrich full company details if you want them (each is a separate paid add-on).
4. Click Start. The Actor searches, pages through the matches, and pushes one record per lead.
5. Read the results. Each record has a status (success | not_found | error); successful records carry the full profile.

No login, no browser session, no cookies. Filters in, structured lead data out.

How much does it cost to find leads?

You pay per lead returned. not_found and error rows are free, and Max results is a hard spend cap, so a run can never cost more than the number of leads you asked for.

• Per lead returned: the base charge.
• Business email (add-on): a separate paid event, charged only when a deliverable email is found. Leads with no verifiable email are free. Paid Apify plans only.
• Company enrichment (add-on): a separate paid event per lead that returns a company.

FAQ

What is a leads finder? A leads finder is a tool that searches a large contact database and returns B2B leads matching your filters (job title, seniority, industry, company size, and more), so you can build prospecting lists without scraping site by site.

Is Leads Finder a good Apollo alternative? Yes. It covers a comparable database (500M+ people, 70M+ companies) with granular person and company filters, but bills pay-per-lead with a hard spend cap instead of per-seat subscriptions.

Do I get email addresses? Business emails are an optional paid add-on. When enabled, each lead includes a real-time verified business email, and you are charged only when an email is actually found.

Do I need a LinkedIn account or cookies? No. There is no login, no cookies, and no risk of account bans.

How do I control cost? Set Max results. You pay per lead returned and never more than your cap, so cost is predictable before you start.

Is it legal to use? The Actor returns business/professional data from public and licensed sources. You are responsible for using the data in line with applicable laws (GDPR, CCPA) and the platform's terms.
