Hundreds of people on various review sites are praising Voilanorbert for its email finding capabilities. Apart from helping you find your prospects’ email addresses, the tool also offers email verification and data enrichment.
The trouble is, Voilanorbert’s features are scattered between the web application and Google Chrome extensions, and you have to pay each feature individually.
Voilanorbert may be a good option for bloggers, solopreneurs, and affiliate marketers who intend to generate less than 1,000 cold leads per month. That said, neither the pay-as-you-go model nor the subscription-based plans make it an appealing option for agencies and large businesses that rely on outreach as a primary form of lead generation. The former can get quite expensive, while the latter imposes limits to the number of monthly leads you can generate with the tool.
We’re veterans of the B2B industry. Our CEO, Mathieu Picard, is also the founder of AnyLeads — a B2B software company that has helped giants like Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and many many others generate over 10,000,000 leads in the last five years.
When it comes to lead generation and email marketing, we know what we’re talking about. We’re not just using B2B marketing software — we’re building it. So, it’s safe to say that we have a solid understanding of what an email finder and data enrichment tool like Voilanorbert should offer to its users.
In this article, we’ll give you a detailed review of Voilanorbert’s features and pricing to help you make an informed decision. This way, you’ll be able to discern whether Voilanorbert meets the needs of your business and whether it would integrate into your existing workflow.
Let’s jump right in.
Voilanorbert is a tool designed specifically for agencies, marketers, businesses, and entrepreneurs that are looking for a quick and reliable way to find and engage with hundreds of cold leads.
Although the concept the tool was built on is hardly new, Voilanorbert can be a valuable assistant on your lead hunt. You can handle everything from your dashboard — from finding email addresses of your prospects to engaging them with personalized emails.
Voilanorbert works both as a browser-based app and a Google Chrome extension. On the tool’s homepage, you’ll immediately notice Norbert’s generous offer — 50 leads for free. While this isn’t a classic free trial since it’s not time-limited, it is a risk-free way to see the tool in action before committing to a paid plan.

After filling out a short form and selecting the main goal you seek to accomplish with Voilanorbert, you’ll be redirected to the app’s dashboard. Norbert, the tool’s logo and mascot, will greet you and offer to take you on a “tour” of the application.
Voilanorbert Tool Introduction
You can click the button in the image above, and Norbert will walk you through each of the tool’s features and briefly describe how to utilize them. The company has also prepared short, three-minute video tutorials for each feature with a more detailed walkthrough of the tool.

If you’re familiar with email finders, you can choose to skip the introduction and jump straight to finding leads. Once you verify your email address, Norbert will hook you up with 50 free credits.
Keep in mind that credits only apply to prospecting, so although you’ll be able to generate 50 leads for free, you won’t have access to data enrichment and email verification.
After you spend the initial 50 free credits, you can either:
Buy more credits with the prepaid option
Upgrade to a subscription-based plan
Credits start from $50 for 500, while the paid plans start from $49/month for up to 1,000 leads.
Voilanorbert Prospecting Pricing
If you opt to pay annually, you can save between $240 and $1,200, depending on the plan you choose.
One thing to keep in mind is that you’ll be paying for verification and enrichment features separately. Verification works using the pay-as-you-go model, with each verified email amounting to $0.03.
If you want to acquire additional information about contacts who are already on your mailing lists, you’ll be paying $40 per 1,000 leads for the Enrichment feature.
That’s close to $100/month to take full advantage of everything Voilanorbert has to offer. At this point, most people would either start considering more affordable options or opt for an all-in-one email marketing software that provides way more functionality for the same price.
Before we move on to the features and see if they justify the high monthly cost of using Voilanorbert, let us give you a quick overview of the tool.

For the relatively high monthly cost, it would be reasonable to expect Voilanorbert to offer quite a few advanced features. Sadly, that’s not the case.
Voilanorbert’s features come down to:
Prospecting
Contacts
Email verification
Data enrichment
Integrations
There is no data analytics or reporting to speak of within the app. Funnily enough, the Chrome extension Voilanorbert provides seems to offer more functionality than the browser-based application.
Voilanorbert’s prospecting tool allows you to find email addresses from domains. The catch is, you’ll need to provide the prospect’s first and last name, and the company’s full domain, for the tool to do its job.
You can either do this manually or by asking Norbert to search in bulk by uploading a CSV file. At the bare minimum, the CSV file should contain company and contact names.
In our experience, Voilanorbert isn’t the fastest tool out there. It takes Norbert a couple of minutes to find a single email address. If you’re searching in bulk, it’s safe to say you should leave the tool running and come back in a couple of hours to see if it finished.
Another thing worth mentioning is that the tool doesn’t show the email addresses of the contacts it found under Prospecting. You’ll know Norbert finished the search by being able to start a new one, but to actually view the email addresses it gathered, you’d have to navigate to Contacts.
Under the Contacts tab, you’ll see an overview of all the prospects Voilanorbert managed to find from your searches. You can click on the “also show not founds” button to see the ones the tool couldn’t find email addresses for.
What’s interesting is that there’s no option to see only the contacts whose email addresses the tool was unable to find. The only way to filter the list is by the prospect’s name or the company’s domain.
That aside, we have to give credit where credit is due. Voilanorbert allows you to send emails to your prospects directly from the Contacts tab. When you click on the email icon to the right of the contact’s name, a new window appears, allowing you to compose and send an email.
Voilanorbert’s Email Creation
Although useful, the feature is pretty basic. Sure, you add custom fields like first name, company name, and company URL, but that’s not exactly what email personalization is all about.
Addressing the prospect by their name doesn’t make an email personal. This has been the golden standard in email marketing for over a decade now, so we’re not exactly blown away by Voilanorbert in this regard.
There are plenty of tools that offer fully customizable email templates and allow you to insert images, videos, graphs, and stunning visuals to your messages. Voilanorbert merely acts as a simple email service, allowing you to create a plain text email and saving you about five seconds at best, which you’d otherwise spend to open Gmail and type in someone’s name and email address.
A far better option, in our opinion, would be to export the contact list from Voilanorbert and import them into an actual autoresponder. That way, you’ll be able to create powerful follow-up campaigns that get results, rather than sending a single generic email to your prospect through the Voilanorbert app and hoping to get a response.
Voilanorbert’s email verification is a neat feature that helps ensure you’re not sending promotional emails to nonexistent addresses. This helps reduce your bounce rate and increases your sender score, ensuring more of your emails end up in your prospects’ inboxes rather than in the spam folder.
With a 97% accuracy, we have to say that Voilanorbert is doing an excellent job when it comes to email verification.
Voilanorbert’s Email Verification
You can verify email addresses from your existing mailing lists by uploading a CSV file or simply copy/pasting the emails from a Google Spreadsheet.
The third option pulls information from third-party applications you might be using, such as:
Mailchimp
SendGrid
JotForm
FormStack
What Voilanorbert fails to explain is that the emails it finds through the Prospecting feature are automatically verified. In other words, you can use its verification tool to verify email addresses you already have, in bulk. If you’re building your mailing list from scratch, you don’t have to worry about any additional expenses since you wouldn’t have to utilize the Verify feature — it’s auto-included into the prospecting algorithm.
Voilanorbert also offers its users an opportunity to enrich the data they have on their existing leads. Again, all you need to do is upload a CSV file or copy & paste email addresses from a spreadsheet.
The tool will fetch additional information that will allow you to personalize your outreach emails further, including:
Job title
Location
Company they work in
Social media profiles
The feature itself is incredibly useful — the only potential obstacle is the price. You’ll be paying $20 for the enrichment of 500 email addresses. Businesses that primarily rely on cold emailing to acquire new leads and turn them into customers will be looking at thousands of emails each month.
While $0.04 per email doesn’t seem like much, it quickly adds up. For $100, you’ll be able to get data on 2,500 leads. Compare that to our white-label data enrichment software, which is $99/month, and allows you to find data on over 15 million B2B companies and extract an unlimited number of leads.
The best part of the Sell SaaS data enrichment software is that you can also resell it to your existing customers. Just slap your company name, logo, and colors, and you can start reselling right away.
When it comes to integrations, you can connect Voilanorbert to a number of popular CRMs, autoresponders, project management tools, and other third-party apps. The integrations are divided into two categories, based on whether they’re used in prospecting or email verification.
Prospecting integrations:
Email verification integrations:
The tool’s Chrome Extension is where Voilanorbert truly shines. With a single click, you can add Voilanorbert to your Google Chrome and utilize its email finding functionality to find prospects’ addresses while browsing the web.
After you install the extension, you’ll see an icon — Norbert’s face — in the top right corner of your browser. Clicking on it will open up the search window, similar to the one within the web-based app, where you can type in the prospect’s name and company domain to find their email address.
Voilanorbert’s Chrome Extension
Say you were browsing a popular website, such as Crunchbase, Angel.co, Buzzsumo, LinkedIn, or any other site that provides a wealth of information on your potential customers. All you’d need to do is type in someone’s name and company domain, and the extension would automatically add their email address to your Voilanorbert account.
The extension makes lead hunting quick, easy, and effortless. Keep in mind that each search costs you one credit, provided it’s successful.
Apart from the email finder extension, Voilanorbert also offers Norbert Inbox. This plug-in allows you to upgrade your Gmail experience and lets you create reminders, add notes, set up automatic follow-ups, and get valuable insights into the performance of your outreach campaigns.
We can’t help but come to the conclusion that, although Voilanorbert does provide a variety of useful features, the company behind it overcomplicated the software beyond reason. The extensions are great, but they could have made email automation and reporting a part of the web-based application itself.
The only reasonable explanation is that the company is using the Norbert Inbox extension as a lead magnet of sorts, in hopes of attracting new leads and getting them to subscribe to Voilanorbert.
What Voilanorbert does it does well. It’s just that the company overpromises. While we understand the company’s tendency to “oversell” their product, we wouldn’t exactly agree that Voilanorbert provides you with everything you need to skyrocket your ROI.
As an email finder, the tool is quite decent. Still, you’re limited to a thousand leads with the basic paid plan, which is anything but cheap. For comparison, our white-label email finder is $79/month, but you can use it to generate as many leads as you want.
Another huge advantage of the Sell SaaS B2B software is that you can both use and resell every single one of our products. There are no special reseller licenses you have to buy or any other additional fees.
Even if you don’t plan on using a particular piece of software, you can create a Sell SaaS partner account and start reselling it today, completely free of charge. You get to choose the price you want to resell the software for, and you’ll keep between 60% and 80% of every sale you make, depending on your partner status.
You don’t have to worry about any technical details. You can fully focus on selling while we take care of setting up the website, managing payment links, and providing customer support to your clients.
