What each one does differently

SignalHire

$57/mo Free tier MCP API

Why it comes up: Same LinkedIn-tab emails and dials, with bulk export called out.

Stands out: Chrome extension, bulk export and built-in email sequences, with both an MCP server and a REST API.

Watch out: It runs on credits, so budget for list volume. Sequences send from your own connected mailbox, so deliverability rests on that account, not on SignalHire.

Best for

Recruiters living in LinkedIn tabs
Desks that need mobiles next to email
Finding and emailing candidates from one login

Wiza

$49/user/mo Free tier Free trial API

Why it comes up: Better if the input is a Sales Nav search URL, not one profile.

Stands out: Pull a LinkedIn search, get emails and mobiles, verified as they come out.

Watch out: No MCP. Plans start at $49 per user, with $83, $99, $166 and $199 tiers.

Best for

Recruiters exporting Sales Nav searches
Desks that want verify at export time

Lusha

$37.45/mo Free tier Free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: Chrome contact data with a free tier and MCP.

Stands out: One-click emails and mobiles straight from the browser, plus a hosted MCP.

Watch out: It finds contacts but does not send, so a sequencer is still needed.

Best for

Recruiters who live in Chrome on LinkedIn
Teams that need mobiles next to email
Buyers who want MCP on contact data

Hunter

$34/mo Free tier Free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: Name-plus-domain when you are not starting from LinkedIn.

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.

Best for

Recruiters doing name-plus-domain lookup
Teams that need a finder API
Buyers who want a free tier plus MCP
