How it works

One setup, then it reads your inbox

Install the extension, paste one provider key, and every email you open shows who is behind it.

Reads the open email


The sender and everyone in To and Cc. The body is only scanned locally for a linkedin.com/in link.

Cheapest source first


A waterfall from a free signature scan to paid providers, cheapest first. Misses are free and a hit stops the chain.

One key is enough


treg for the cheapest lookups, Monid for the best coverage. Any single key runs the whole flow.

The whole thread


Other senders, To and Cc are listed in the panel, and each person is looked up only when you click them.

Connect on LinkedIn


The panel opens the profile and fills in your note. You click Connect and Send yourself; the extension never does.

Cache and history, locally


Results stay in your browser’s IndexedDB for 90 days, exportable as JSON or CSV and removable in one click.

Privacy

Your inbox stays yours

A lookup goes from your browser straight to the provider you chose. This is exactly what stays here, what leaves, and what the anonymous counts contain.

Diagram: your browser holds the keys, the cache and the history. One arrow leaves it: the lookup you asked for, sent to the provider you configured. A crossed-out box marks the SenderFinder server that is not in that path, and a side note explains the anonymous daily usage counts.

Stays on your device

  • Your provider keys, in the extension’s own storage
  • Cache and history, in IndexedDB (90 days, 5,000 entries)
  • Settings, caps and the automatic-lookup limit
  • Which emails you read: nothing about it leaves the browser

Goes to the provider you chose

  • The address you look up, with your key
  • The display name from the mail header
  • The company domain, for the Apollo step
  • That provider’s catalog price request

Anonymous usage counts

  • On by default; one switch in settings turns them off
  • Daily totals: counts, outcomes, spend, version, language
  • A random installation ID, deleted when you switch them off
  • Never an address, name, domain, key or message text

Pricing

Free. You only pay the data provider, if you want to.

The extension costs nothing. The email-signature step is free, and paid lookups are billed by the provider you choose, per hit, with caps you set.

gmail.com, outlook.com, qq.com, info@, support@ and similar are skipped by default, so they cost nothing.

Found means a profile came back with a matching name. The two keys differ mainly in how often the expensive fallback is needed.

Caps still apply: $2 per day and $0.05 per lookup by default, both adjustable in settings. The estimate assumes 30 days and one lookup per new address.

Where the numbers come from
  • Every new sender address is looked up once and cached. Repeat senders cost $0, so the input is new addresses per day, not emails read.
  • Per-hit prices are the provider catalog prices on 25 October 2026: BlitzAPI $0.0005, QuickEnrich $0.0048, Hunter $0.0049, Apollo $0.026. Misses are free on these steps.
  • Per-step hit rates come from the 50-address benchmark of 25 October 2026: 48 % solved by BlitzAPI, then 19 % of what was left by the next step, 19 % of the remainder by the step after that. Apollo answered 17 of the 19 addresses it was called for.
  • With both keys that gives about 95 % of work addresses found, against 48 of 50 (96 %) measured. With treg alone only the two cheap steps run, with Monid alone Hunter and Apollo run.
  • Monthly cost = new addresses per day × (1 − skipped share) × 30 × cost per address. The free email-signature scan, the optional Village and ContactOut steps and Firecrawl are not included.
  • These are estimates from one benchmark of English-speaking sales and growth contacts. Your own inbox may behave differently.

Prices and hit rates: 25 October 2026. The extension re-reads the catalog price before every call, so a provider price change shows up immediately.

Questions

The short answers

Longer ones live in the install guide and the privacy statement.

Is it free?

Yes. The extension is free and open source under the AGPL-3.0 license, with no account and no subscription. Paid lookups are optional: the data provider you choose bills them to your own key, per hit, within the caps you set. The signature scan and the cache cost nothing.

Do I need an account?

No signup is needed. Lookups go directly to the provider you configure; anonymous daily usage counts go to the project’s statistics service, and one switch in settings turns them off.

Which key should I get?

One key from either Monid or treg is enough to start. Adding both, and optionally Firecrawl, gives the waterfall more places to look. The install page compares them.

How do I keep costs under control?

There is a per-lookup cap (default $0.05) and a daily cap (default $2). Only the sender of the opened email is looked up automatically, with a daily limit you set. Results are cached, so the same address is never paid for twice. The calculator shows what a given volume would cost.

What if it shows the wrong person?

If the name from the provider doesn't match the display name in the email header, the result is marked “uncertain” and shows both names, so you can judge for yourself.

Why is a gmail.com sender not looked up?

Personal mailbox domains and role addresses like info@ rarely match a profile, so they are skipped by default to save money. Click the button in the panel to look them up anyway.
