Recruiters working LinkedIn all day
Desks that need mobiles next to email

Where they pull apart

ContactOut

Stands out: Chrome extension recruiters keep pinned, plus mobiles and a hosted MCP.

Watch out: Team and API plans are quoted by sales, and the self-serve prices are shown as discounts, so confirm the current rate with the vendor.

Not the right fit for

Teams that need Sales Nav list export as the core workflow
Teams that want API access without a sales call

HealthTal

Stands out: The directory lists 1.75M+ verified healthcare contacts (500K+ RNs, 200K+ physicians, 120K+ NPs) with NPI verification, direct email, and phone, plus CSV/Excel export.

Watch out: Essentials caps CSV export at 250 contacts per export. Pro raises that to 2,500 and adds one sourcing request per month. This is a contact file, not an ATS or a sequencer.

Not the right fit for

Recruiters outside clinical healthcare (no software-engineer graph here)
Teams that need built-in sequences or an ATS, not a downloadable contact list

Chrome workflow from the LinkedIn tab
