Where they pull apart

AeroLeads

Stands out: A credit database with a $49 Take Off rung: list building, not a sequencer.

Watch out: Confirm current Take Off / Climb / Cruise pricing on a quote before you budget. Free credits are not a timed trial.

Not the right fit for

EU GDPR-first enrichment
People who need a sequencer
Buyers who need a published price grid

Hunter

Stands out: The default finder API, with MCP and a widely used free Chrome extension.

Watch out: Built around work email, so it is not a mobile-number product.

Not the right fit for

Teams that need mobiles as the core product
Buyers who want a sequencer in the same login
