Pricing analysis Emailsearch.io sells four paid plans in USD, from Basic at $29/month (1,000 searches) to Agency at $279/month (unlimited searches and seats). The pricing page lists no Free plan. Each search uses one credit, and prices are shown as 'Starting from' monthly figures: annual plans exist but their price isn't displayed.
Plans
Emailsearch.io ships 4 tiers. Per-seat pricing combined with a credit system for data lookups - the listed price is rarely the real cost.
Emailsearch.io pricing tiers - verified October 2026 on the vendor's pricing page (four paid plans, prices shown as "Starting from", no Free plan card):
| Plan | Price | Best for | Limits / Inclusions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | $29/mo (annual price not shown) | 1,000 searches/mo (~33/day) | 1 user seat · Drip Email Campaigns, Email Verifications, Data Enrichment, API / Webhooks |
| Pro | $49/mo (annual price not shown) | 5,000 searches/mo (5× Basic) | 2 user seats · same features as Basic |

| Agency | $279/mo (annual price not shown) | Unlimited searches/mo | Unlimited searches · unlimited user seats |
Credits
Emailsearch.io bills actions in credits with non-equal costs. A 5,000-credit plan does NOT mean 5,000 lookups.
How Emailsearch.io charges per action - the credit table buyers should memorise before signing :
| Action | Credits / cost |

| Email verification | Included ✓ |
| Data enrichment | Included ✓ |
| Drip Email Campaigns (sequencer) | Included paid ✓ |
| API / Webhooks | Included paid ✓ |

The ✓ markers are bundled / free. The ! markers are the line items that compound the bill - watch these closely when sizing your plan.
Compare
How Emailsearch.io stacks against Derrick, Hunter, and the other tools we benchmarked.
To evaluate the true cost of EmailSearch.io, it’s essential to compare the price per email found rather than simply the price per “search,” as some searches may fail.
| Tool | Plan | Emails/month | Price/month | Price per email | Rollover | Accuracy |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EmailSearch.io | Basic | ~920 (1,000 × 92%) | $29 | $0.0315 | Not stated | 92% (vendor claim) |
| EmailSearch.io | Pro | ~4,600 (5,000 × 92%) | $49 | $0.0107 | Not stated | 92% (vendor claim) |
| EmailSearch.io | Expert | ~18,400 (20K × 92%) | $99 | $0.0054 | Not stated | 92% (vendor claim) |
| Derrick | STANDARD | 2,000 | €20 | €0.010 | ✓ Never expire (paid plan) | – |
| Derrick | PLUS | 5,000 | €47.50 | €0.0095 | ✓ Never expire (paid plan) | – |
Note: For EmailSearch.io, we applied the advertised 92% accuracy figure as if it were a success rate, to estimate how many emails are actually found (an illustration, not a vendor guarantee). For Derrick, 1 email = 5 credits, and the email is already verified. Prices are in each vendor's own currency.
For about 2,000 emails found/month:
Prices are similar per email. The difference is that Derrick credits never expire while you stay on a paid plan, whereas EmailSearch.io's pricing page doesn’t state a rollover policy.
For 5,000 emails found/month:
→ Derrick Plus (€47.50) costs about half the price of EmailSearch.io Expert ($99) for the same 5,000 emails found
Derrick credits never expire: if you only use 3,000 credits in January on a STANDARD plan (10,000 credits), you keep 7,000 credits for February, as long as you stay on a paid plan. EmailSearch.io doesn’t state its policy, so ask before you buy.
What's included
There is no Free plan card on the vendor's pricing page.
Main limitation: The number of available “searches”. Each search uses one credit, and the vendor doesn’t state that failed searches are free. With a 92% accuracy claim, expect some searches without a usable email.
Feature access: Unlike some competitors, EmailSearch.io lists the same features (campaigns, verification, enrichment, API / Webhooks) on every paid plan. The difference between plans lies in search volume and number of user seats.
The verdict
Emailsearch.io earns its place when :
- You're a 1-2 person team wanting the cheapest all-in-one email finder + verifier + sequencer at $29 Basic
- You're a 5+ person team wanting UNLIMITED searches + unlimited seats at $279 Agency
- Your motion is email-first and you want drip campaigns bundled with the finder
It doesn't earn its place when :
- Your volume is irregular - rollover isn't stated, so unused searches may be lost
- You're a 3-4 person team - the gap between Expert (2 seats) and Agency (unlimited) forces overbuy
- You need per-phone pricing to be clear - the vendor says it finds phones but doesn't state a per-phone credit cost
Why teams pick Derrick instead :
- You want enrichment in a web app with nothing to install, or IN your spreadsheet - from €20/month, similar email cost, credits that never expire while you stay on a paid plan
- You want phone + tech + LinkedIn alongside email
- Your usage is seasonal - Derrick credits never expire while you stay on a paid plan

EmailSearch.io has four paid tiers: Basic $29/month (1,000 searches), Pro $49/month (5,000 searches), Expert $99/month (20,000 searches), and Agency $279/month (unlimited searches, unlimited seats). Prices are shown as "Starting from"; the vendor says monthly and annual plans are available but doesn't display an annual price.
The pricing page lists no Free plan: the lowest plan is Basic at $29/month for 1,000 searches. The page title and the home page call to action still mention "free", so a trial may exist, but no free plan is listed. Some review aggregators still show an old free tier.
Basic at $29/month for 1,000 searches and 1 user seat. For teams, Pro at $49/month (5,000 searches, 2 user seats) is the next step.
Each search uses one credit, and the vendor doesn’t state that failed searches are free. Plans are capped by monthly search volume, so the effective cost per valid email depends on your input list quality.
The vendor says monthly and annual plans are available, but its pricing page only shows "Starting from" monthly prices and no annual price. Ask the vendor for the annual figure before you budget.
EmailSearch.io markets a ~92% accuracy claim. This is a vendor figure and not independently benchmarked here - treat it as marketing, and run a verification pass on critical lists regardless.
EmailSearch.io's Agency plan ($279/mo, unlimited searches and unlimited seats) is the plan built for high-volume teams. Expert ($99/mo, 20,000 searches, 2 user seats) is the highest capped plan. Choose by your monthly search count.
For Google-no-install enrichment (web app, Sheets, Claude, API) with transparent pricing, Derrick starts at 20 EUR/month (10,000 credits, which is 2,000 emails at 5 credits each, already verified).
