Social media has become an integral part of our lives. Almost everyone has an account on one or more social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. Be it family, friends, relatives, or acquaintances, you might have tried locating their social media profiles out of curiosity or for some other reason.
Email address is one way of finding social media handles/accounts. And it is quite accurate in most cases. After all, two individuals may share the same names and date of birth on social media platforms. But the same email address? That’s hard to imagine.
We have curated a list of the best free and paid tools that let you locate a social media account using an email address. Don’t have an Email ID? No worries, we’ve got you covered – Look at these Top 10 Email Lookup Tools to Find Anyone’s Email Address in 2021

Lullar
This tool is often considered to be the ‘Google of social media’. It has a huge database of millions of email addresses. Lullar uses this database to search for social media accounts. You can access the tool only through its website; Lullar is not available as a browser extension/add-on for now. To search for someone’s social media profile, you visit Lullar.com and enter the person’s email address. Lullar is free to use.
Truthfinder
The next tool in the list is Truthfinder. Truthfinder helps you to trace social media profiles and other information such as the first and last name of the concerned person. It also tells you about the city and the state they live in.
There are two caveats with Truthfinder. It is a paid tool and only lists people who are from the United States of America. So you will be left disappointed if the person you are searching for lives in, say, Dubai or India.
