Updated · Pricing checked October 2026

What is Snov.io?

Snov.io is a lead generation and sales outreach platform that helps teams find business contacts, verify their emails and reach them with automated campaigns. It combines a B2B leads database, email and phone finders, an email verifier, email warmup, cold email and LinkedIn automation, and a simple sales CRM. That mix makes it a common choice for small teams that want prospecting and outreach in one subscription.

Snov.io runs in the browser and adds several Chrome extensions, including an email finder for websites and a LinkedIn prospect finder. It also includes deliverability tools such as warmup and authentication setup, plus free checkers for SPF, DKIM, DMARC and blacklists. Developers can use its email finder and verifier APIs. A free trial plan renews monthly, so users can test the basics before paying.
