ContactRescue review
A one-time archive recovery tool for extracting and exporting business contacts.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
When business contacts are scattered across years of email, ContactRescue scans connected Gmail, Google Workspace, Outlook or Office 365 archives to recover people and company records. It is aimed at individuals and teams preparing for mailbox closure, staff departures or domain changes, or seeding a new CRM. The workflow extracts details from email bodies and signatures, deduplicates contacts and aliases, enriches records with titles, company information and verified email, then provides CSV or CRM export. It is a recovery tool, not a continuing contact-management workspace.
According to the vendor's pricing page, the current plans are one-time purchases: 2-Year Recovery costs $159 and scans two years of email archives; 5-Year Recovery costs $259 and scans five years. Both include unlimited contact extraction and optional CSV or CRM export. Each also bundles Evercontact Daily: six months of Daily Solo with the $159 plan, or one year of Daily Pro with the $259 plan. The legacy ContactRescue page presents 12- and 36-month archive options at the same respective prices. The included Daily subscription renews automatically unless cancelled, so buyers should account for that separate ongoing service when comparing the one-time recovery cost.
Its fit depends on whether a historical sweep is the goal. OAuth connections cover major email services, while Salesforce, HubSpot and Pipedrive are among the CRM destinations; CSV export gives another route for moving records. That makes it suited to recovering a historical address book and transferring it into another system. The trade-off is its narrow scope: there are no ongoing contact-management workflows described, and the purchase begins at $159. Choose it when archived email is the source and a one-time recovery is valuable; choose a contact-management product instead if the need is to maintain and work with contacts over time.
