Looking to extract valid Apollo emails without burning through your expensive credits? In this guide, we’ll walk you step-by-step through how to use our Apollo Scraper tool to collect emails without spending your Apollo credits, saving you hundreds of dollars on lead generation.
⚠️ Disclaimer: This method is for educational purposes. Always comply with Apollo’s terms of service.
💡 Why You Should Stop Wasting Apollo Credits
Every time you access a verified email in Apollo, it costs 1 credit. That can get expensive really fast — especially when running high-volume campaigns.
That’s where our Apollo Scraper tool comes in. It allows you to:
Save credits
Extract thousands of valid leads
Bypass weekly import limits
Combine with Matchkraft for email validation
🛠️ Step-by-Step: How to Get Apollo Emails Without Credits
✅ Step 1: Create a Search in Apollo
Go to your Apollo dashboard and start a new search. Example parameters:
Email status: Verified
Job title: Project Manager
Location: Montana, USA
Once done, copy the full URL. You’ll need this later to load the same search from another account.
Make sure you’re in the “Net New” tab — not “Saved”.
✅ Step 2: Use the Apollo Scraper Tool
Open the Apollo Scraper and:
Choose the number of pages to scrape (e.g., 50 pages).
Select the “Smart Permut” algorithm for the best name permutations.
Click Start Scanning.
The tool will generate a CSV file with thousands of email permutations — potential combinations of names + domains.
✅ Step 3: Import the CSV into a Free Apollo Account
If you try importing too many contacts (over 100K rows/week) into a paid account, you’ll hit a limit. To avoid this:
Create a free Apollo account.
Go to Import Contacts > Select CSV.
Upload your permutations file.
Name your list (e.g., “My List New”).
Now Apollo will process the permutations and identify valid emails, adding them to the “Saved” tab.
✅ Step 4: Validate the Results
Go to the “Lists” tab in your free Apollo account and open your imported list. Filter by:
Email status: User managed
You’ll see a list of valid emails Apollo found from your permutations — and yes, they’re free!
In our test, we uncovered 272 valid Apollo emails — with zero credit cost.
✅ Step 5: Export and Re-import into Your Paid Account
Want to use your Apollo Pro features with these emails or get the remaining leads?
Export the list from your free account.
Open Apollo’s sample CSV template.
Copy relevant fields (first name, last name, title, email, LinkedIn URL, etc.).
Import this cleaned list into your paid account using the Import CSV function.
Apollo may take a few minutes to fully process the list.
✅ Step 6: Final Validation with Matchkraft
To ensure your Apollo emails are truly valid and deliverable:
Go to Matchkraft and log in.
Use the Email Validation Tool.
Paste your email list and click Execute.
Export the results and clean any invalid or catch-all addresses.
This gives you a high-quality, verified B2B email list ready for outreach!
