📧 Free Email & Contact Scraper - Extract Emails From Any Website

Free email & contact scraper — turn a list of websites into a list of leads. Paste any business websites or domains and it extracts emails, phone numbers, and social profiles from each site, picks the best contact, classifies it, and MX-verifies it. Free to start, then pay-per-result — a fraction of Apollo, Clay, Hunter, or ZoomInfo, with no subscription. Or skip the list and find local businesses by area + category.

No login. No credits-that-expire. No per-seat fees. Just websites in → verified contacts out.

Why this beats the big enrichment tools

	Apollo / ZoomInfo / Lusha	Clay	Hunter	This actor
Model	Monthly plans + credits	Credits (expire)	Monthly plans	Pay-per-event — pay only for what you enrich
Cost	~$0.02–0.10+ / contact + seats	~$0.10+ / enrichment	$34–$349 / mo	from ~$0.003 / website, no subscription
Source	Their fixed database	Aggregates providers	Domain DB	The business's own live website
Lock-in	Seats, contracts	Credit packs	Plans	None — run it on Apify, export anywhere

You bring the businesses (from anywhere — a CSV, a Maps export, our own lead actors); this gets you the contacts, cheap.

What it extracts (per website)

email (the best one) · email_confidence (high / medium / low) + email_confidence_reason · email_type (role / personal) · email_verified (MX-checked) · all emails · phone · socials (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube, TikTok) · plus name, category, address, lat/lng when found via area search.

How it finds the email (most enrichers miss these):

• 📨 mailto: links, plain-text addresses, and addresses hidden in JSON/scripts
• 🛡️ Cloudflare-protected emails (decodes data-cfemail)
• 🥸 Obfuscated formats (name [at] domain [dot] com)
• 🧹 Junk & placeholder filtering (noreply@, user@domain.com, image filenames…)
• 🎯 Best-contact pick — prefers a real role inbox (info@, sales@) on the company's own domain
• ✅ MX verification — confirms the domain actually accepts mail
• 🏅 Confidence grade on every email — high (the business's own domain and MX-verified), medium (own domain unconfirmed, or a related parent/sister-brand domain or brand mailbox), low (off-domain — eyeball before outreach). Sort by email_confidence to get your A-list in one click. Telemetry false-positives (Wix/Sentry tracking IDs) are filtered out automatically.

It crawls the homepage + contact / about / team / impressum pages (with a www/scheme fallback) — usually 1–10 pages.

Pricing — the cheapest enricher anywhere

~$1 per 1,000 websites enriched (lot-scraped $0.0005 + lot-detail-enriched $0.0005) — and that one price gets you the email + phone + socials, MX-verified, no subscription, no seats, no expiring credits.

Event	What it covers	Price / event
lot-scraped	each business returned	$0.0005
lot-detail-enriched	each website crawled for contacts	$0.0005
monitor-run-completed	each scheduled watch run	$0.05
new-lot-detected	each newly-appearing business	$0.02
alert-delivered	each Slack/email/webhook alert	$0.005

Cost per 1,000 emails found vs. the market (you also get phone + socials, which most don't include):

	Per 1,000 emails
This actor	≈ $2.50 (at ~40% hit)
Other Apify email scrapers	$3.50–$40
Enrow (cheapest dedicated finder)	$12
Hunter.io	$17–26
Apollo.io	~$49
Lusha	~$94
Clay	$130+
ZoomInfo	$3,000+ (annual contract)

Pay-per-event means you only pay for what you run — no monthly minimum, no wasted credits.

Honest notes (no overselling)

• Email yield depends on the vertical. Professional & trade services (lawyers, accountants, agencies, contractors, plumbers, dentists) publish a contact email — high yield. Chains & restaurants often hide it behind a form — you still get phone + socials + website. Use Only keep businesses with an email for a pure email list.
• This finds emails from each business's own website — it is not a people-database of individual employees like Apollo/ZoomInfo. It's the cheap, honest "company contact" enrichment.
• Coverage for the area-search mode comes from OpenStreetMap (great for food/retail/hotels, growing for services) — the website-list mode works on any business you bring.

Legal & compliance

Emails are scraped from businesses' own public websites; names/addresses/phones are public facts. You are responsible for compliant use — follow GDPR / CAN-SPAM / CASL for any outreach (identify yourself, honor opt-outs). For B2B research and outreach. Review OpenStreetMap's ODbL attribution if you redistribute the listing data.

FAQ

Is this a Google Maps scraper? No — and on purpose. Listings come from OpenStreetMap (no anti-bot) and emails from each business's own website, so runs are reliable instead of fragile.

Will every site return an email? No — it depends on the site (see the yield notes). Socials + phone come back for nearly all.

What does email_verified mean? The email's domain has valid MX records (it can receive mail) — a real deliverability signal, not just a syntax check.

Can I just enrich my own list? Yes — that's the main mode. Paste websites/domains into websites.
