Asif Ali, CodeDistrict

"I ran a test on the data and achieved an email find rate of approximately 60%, which is very good. For context, I previously tested 100k records with 34 email patterns and received about 60.5% results. In my experience, no tool consistently provides 80-100% valid emails on large datasets, largely because lead sources often include some inaccurate or low-quality company data. Overall, these results look very solid."

OrbiSearch

Email finder + dedicated verifier in one

Find work emails by name + domain at 75%+ find rate, then verify each through the same validation engine that beat Icypeas 68.3% to 56% on a real customer's Apollo list. Credits work across both.

Icypeas

Email finder with verification as a side feature

Triple-verification system, but classifies fewer emails as valid in real-world head-to-head testing. Adds domain scanning and LinkedIn scraping.

Lookup pricing comparison

Icypeas is primarily an email lookup tool. At every overlapping volume tier, OrbiSearch costs 20-59% less per 1,000 lookups.

VolumeIcypeas$/1K lookupsOrbiSearch$/1K lookups
1,000 lookups$19/mo (Basic)$19.00$30 one-time (Starter, 2K lookups)$15.00
4,000 lookups$39/mo (Premium)$9.75$39 one-time (Standard, 5K lookups)$7.80
10,000 lookups$89/mo (Advanced)$8.90$62 one-time (Professional, 10K lookups)$6.20
100,000 lookups$499/mo (Hypergrowth)$4.99$207 one-time (Enterprise, 100K lookups)$2.07

OrbiSearch charges 1 credit per lookup attempt; Icypeas charges 1 credit per email they find. Our per-attempt pricing makes OrbiSearch a natural first step in high-volume or multi-vendor enrichment workflows. Plus credits work for both lookup and validation (1 credit = 5 validations or 1 lookup), never expire, and there's no monthly subscription. For verification accuracy, see the benchmark above where OrbiSearch returns 68.3% valid vs Icypeas's 56% on the same 2,224-email input list.

Validating millions of emails?

OrbiSearch offers private dedicated infrastructure with white glove support for customers on the 5M and 10M packs. No queues, no file splitting, and we handle data cleaning and quality monitoring. Icypeas does not offer an equivalent service.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is OrbiSearch a real Icypeas alternative if Icypeas is primarily an email finder?

Yes. OrbiSearch's email finder finds work emails by name + domain at a 75%+ find rate, and every email returned is verified through our validation engine before being returned to you. In IntellyClick's customer benchmark of 2,224 Apollo emails, OrbiSearch classified 68.3% as valid versus Icypeas's 56%. For finding and verifying B2B emails - the core use case for most cold outreach - OrbiSearch covers the same ground. Where Icypeas goes further is domain scanning and LinkedIn scraping.

What's OrbiSearch's email finder find rate?

75%+ on internal testing of real-world datasets. Find rate varies by lead-list quality. Customer Asif Ali at CodeDistrict reported approximately 60% on his data, which he described as 'very solid' and consistent with his observation that 'no tool consistently provides 80-100% valid emails on large datasets, largely because lead sources often include some inaccurate or low-quality company data.'

How does OrbiSearch's email finder differ from Icypeas's?

Two main differences. (1) Every email OrbiSearch returns is verified through our validation engine before being returned, so the find rate equals the verified-deliverable rate. (2) OrbiSearch checks whether the person is still working at the company, reducing stale-email risk. Icypeas uses a triple-verification system, but in head-to-head customer testing on the same input list, OrbiSearch returned a higher percentage of valid emails.

How does OrbiSearch compare to Icypeas on verification accuracy?

In IntellyClick's benchmark of 2,224 Apollo-sourced emails, OrbiSearch classified 68.3% as valid (1,518 Safe) compared to Icypeas's 56% (1,245 valid). On a separate benchmark of 538 confirmed hard bounces, OrbiSearch stopped 96.3% of bounces with a 3.7% false positive rate, versus Icypeas at 78.1% / 21.9%.

Is OrbiSearch cheaper than Icypeas for email verification?

It depends on volume and usage pattern. Icypeas uses a monthly subscription model where credits are shared across all features (email finder, verifier, domain scanner). OrbiSearch is pay-as-you-go with no subscription. At 1,000,000 verifications, OrbiSearch costs $311 one-time compared to Icypeas at $499 per month.

Are OrbiSearch and Icypeas the same type of tool?

They overlap heavily on email finding and verification, which is the core use case for most B2B teams. Icypeas adds domain scanning and LinkedIn scraping. OrbiSearch adds catch-all resolution, SEG-protected verification, employment freshness checking, and private dedicated infrastructure for high-volume customers. Pick OrbiSearch if accuracy and verification matter most. Pick Icypeas if you need domain scanning or LinkedIn scraping in the same tool.

Does Icypeas verify catch-all emails?

Icypeas offers catch-all verification, but in our benchmark test it had a 21.9% false positive rate on catch-all emails compared to OrbiSearch's 3.7%. This means Icypeas incorrectly flags nearly 1 in 5 valid catch-all emails as undeliverable.

Can I use both OrbiSearch and Icypeas together?

Yes. Some teams use Icypeas for domain scanning or LinkedIn scraping and then verify the discovered emails through OrbiSearch for higher accuracy. Both services offer API access and CSV export, making them easy to chain together.
