RocketReach alternatives for work emails
RocketReach is a contact database with phone numbers and search filters. If you only need work email addresses for people you've already picked, you can pay much less per address.
Updated by the Resolvary team
For email only, compare the cost per contact. RocketReach's Essentials plan works out to about 27¢ per export at $329 a year. Resolvary charges 3¢ per confirmed address with no subscription, and Hunter's annual Starter plan works out to 1.7¢ per email if you use every credit. If you need phone numbers or people search, RocketReach and Apollo are the right kind of tool.

Where the math flips
$329 buys 10,966 confirmed emails at Resolvary's 3¢, against 1,200 exports on Essentials. RocketReach's Ultimate plan gets closer at 8.5¢ per export, and it includes phone numbers. If you use those, you aren't comparing the same product.
When RocketReach is the better choice
- You need phone numbers as well as email.
- You build lists by searching: RocketReach lists 700 million professionals, 60 million companies and more than 50 filters.1
- You want personal email addresses. RocketReach offers them and Resolvary doesn't.
- You need its Salesforce, HubSpot or Outreach integrations.
When Resolvary fits better
- You already have names and company domains.
- You want to pay per result rather than commit to a year.
- You only want to pay when the mail server confirmed the address.
The other options
Hunter suits teams that send more than about 13,600 lookups a year or want domain search and sequences. Read our Hunter comparison.
Anymail Finder charges only when a verified email is found. It gets cheaper per email than Resolvary on its larger monthly plans, starting at 2¢ on the 10,000-credit plan.3
Apollo is the closest match if you want a database with a free tier. It's a full sales platform with sequences and a CRM, so it does much more than find addresses.4
