The best alternative is the one that returns the most verified addresses on your own contacts, so test before you commit. Browser and LinkedIn extensions suit reps prospecting one profile at a time, bulk finders suit lists you already hold, and larger contact databases suit teams that want email, phone and social details from one search.
Every email finder says its data's accurate. The only way to find out is to give each one the same short list of people whose addresses you already know, and count what comes back verified. The nine tools below are listed in no particular order, with a quick comparison first and the detail after.

Extensions, bulk finders and databases
Browser and LinkedIn extensions
Kaspr, Skrapp.io, Evaboot and Wiza work from LinkedIn pages. You open a profile or a Sales Navigator search and pull contact details into a list. They suit reps and recruiters who prospect by browsing, and two of them are built specifically around Sales Navigator exports.
Bulk finders and verifiers
Anymail Finder, Dropcontact and VoilaNorbert are happiest when you already have names and companies in a spreadsheet. Upload the file, get addresses back, and check which ones are verified. They're a good fit for agencies cleaning up client lists and founders who've built a target list by hand.
Larger contact databases
RocketReach and ContactOut search a stored database of professionals and return email, phone and social details from one lookup. They're quick when you don't know where someone works, and handy for recruiters who need personal as well as work addresses.
Where the data comes from
GetProspect is an email and phone finder, so the real difference between its alternatives isn't the interface. It's where the data comes from and how it's checked. Some tools search a database they've already built. Some verify an address live, at the moment you ask. Some read what's on the LinkedIn page you're looking at and work from there. Each approach has blind spots, and a tool that's strong on one country or industry can be weak on another.
That's why a small test beats any accuracy claim on a vendor's homepage. Take a list of contacts you can already confirm, run it through each tool, and compare how many come back verified and how many bounce when you check them.
Contact data also brings privacy duties. They vary by country and by how you use the data, so check the rules from your regulator before you send. When a vendor says it's GDPR compliant, that's the vendor's claim about its own processing, and it doesn't cover what you do with the data afterwards.
The nine finders, A to Z
Alphabetical and in no particular order beyond that. Each line reflects how the vendor describes its own product, including any accuracy or compliance statement.
Anymail Finder
Best for: Teams finding B2B emails by name, domain or company with a verifier, bulk upload and API; the vendor says you pay only for verified results.
ContactOut
Best for: Recruiters and sales reps after personal and work emails, with a campaign tool and AI writer; the vendor calls itself the most accurate email finder.
Dropcontact
Best for: Lists that only have a name and a company, which the vendor says is all it needs to find an updated, verified address; it describes itself as GDPR compliant.
Evaboot
Best for: LinkedIn Sales Navigator users who want clean lead exports and verified emails; the vendor's line is from Sales Navigator to a CSV file in one click.
Kaspr
Best for: Sales reps prospecting European contacts from LinkedIn through a Chrome extension and web app; the vendor promises instant access to accurate European contact data.
RocketReach
Best for: Teams wanting email, phone and social profiles for professionals from a single search on what the vendor calls a lead intelligence platform.

My advice on picking an email finder
Pick by how you prospect. If you live in LinkedIn all day, a browser extension will save you the most time. If you build lists in spreadsheets, a bulk finder with a verifier is the better fit. If you often don't know where someone works, a database search earns its place.
Then test two or three on the same list and keep the one that returns the most verified addresses for the people you sell to. Don't rely on any single tool's word for accuracy, and don't send to an address just because a tool found it.

Frequently asked questions
How do I test an email finder before buying?
Run a short list of contacts whose addresses you already know through each tool, then compare how many come back verified and correct.
What's the difference between finding and verifying an email?
Finding guesses or looks up an address. Verifying checks whether that address can receive mail, which cuts bounces.
Are LinkedIn email finder extensions allowed?
LinkedIn has its own terms on automation and data use. Read them and each vendor's guidance before you rely on an extension.
Is it legal to email contacts found with these tools?
Rules vary by country and by how you use the data. Check the guidance from your data protection regulator before you send.
Do I need a database or a finder?
A finder suits lists you've already built. A database suits searching for people when you don't yet know where they work.
