Building your own IT decision maker list costs 2.3 to 3.6 cents a contact, and the same plan sends the emails.
A prebuilt file is a one-time download that starts going stale the day you buy it. In Lead Finder you choose exactly which IT decision makers go in, add more whenever you need them, and the plan that pays for the credits also sends the emails.
| Way to get the list | What you pay | Cost per contact |

| Emailchaser Starter | $47 a month with 1,500 lead credits and 5,000 emails a month included | 3.5 cents |
| Emailchaser extra credits | $33 per 1,000 credits, or $20 per 1,000 when you buy 5,000 or more; bought credits never expire | 2.3 to 3.6 cents |

Example campaign and email, invented for this page. The count is real.
Software, security and hardware vendors use IT decision maker lists to reach the people who approve technology purchases for a company.
An IT decision maker is the director, head, vice president or chief information officer who owns a company's technology budget and chooses its systems, vendors and security. In a small company a head of IT picks everything and replies to short, specific emails, while a CIO in a large one works through a team, a security review and a procurement process. This list joins the IT director, director of IT, head of IT, VP of IT and CIO titles, so it reaches the leaders without the help desk and engineering staff.
These are the questions people ask about IT decision maker email lists.
How many IT decision makers can I reach with Emailchaser?
Lead Finder holds 78,074 US contacts who lead IT, with a director, head, VP or CIO job title with a verified work email, from a live count on 12 November 2026. The count changes as people change jobs, so the number you see in Lead Finder on the day you search is the one that counts.
Can I filter IT decision makers by state, city or company size?
Yes. Lead Finder filters by country, state and city, by seniority (for example owner, partner or director), by company size from 1-10 employees up to 10,001+, and by job title, revenue and the technology a company uses. Combine them freely, and the count updates before you spend anything.
How much does an IT decision maker email list cost on Emailchaser?
Searching and counting are free. Each person you add uses 1 lead credit. Plans include 1,500 credits a month on Starter ($47), 5,000 on Pro ($97) and 10,000 on Max ($358), and extra credits cost $33 per 1,000, or $20 per 1,000 when you buy 5,000 or more. Checking each address is billed apart from credits, at $0.0017 a check. The 7-day free trial includes 500 lead credits.
How is this different from the IT managers and CIOs lists?
The IT managers list counts titles that contain IT manager, and the CIOs list counts chief information officers. This list counts IT director, director of IT, director of information technology, head of IT, VP of IT and chief information officer titles, so it overlaps the CIOs list and leaves out IT managers.
Are the emails verified?
Lead Finder only returns people whose work email has a verified status. When you add them, Emailchaser checks each address again (on by default, $0.0017 a check, one or two checks an address), and an address that fails is dropped without using a credit.
Is it legal to send cold email to IT decision makers?
In the United States, the CAN-SPAM Act allows commercial email to business addresses when you identify yourself honestly, use an accurate subject line, include a postal address and honour every opt-out. Rules are stricter in some other countries, such as under GDPR in Europe.
