Work Email Finder & Guesser — honest confidence scores — $5 per 1,000

Give a person's name and their company website. You get the most likely work email, ranked alternatives, and a confidence score you can trust. The Actor reads the company's own website to learn which email format it really uses, checks that the domain can receive email, and scores every option.

Why the score is believable

Most email tools show a high number no matter what. This one doesn't, because a score that is too high only means more bounced emails for you.

• Confirmed on website (about 97%): the exact address was found on the company's public pages.
• Format seen on the website (usually 55-80%): real addresses at that company use the same format, so the guess follows it.
• No evidence (about 25-35%, labeled low): the guess uses the most common corporate formats only. Treat it as a starting point.

How it works

1. Cleans the name (accents, titles like Dr., suffixes like PhD, particles like "de la").
2. Checks the company's mail server (and whether it is Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 or another provider).
3. Reads the company's contact and team pages and extracts the addresses published there.
4. Builds 12 common formats (first.last, flast, first, firstlast, f.last, and more) and scores each using how common it is and what the company's real addresses show.

What it does not do

It does not log in to anything, and it does not send emails or test mailboxes. So no address is verified. For campaigns, run the best guesses through an email verification service before sending.
