Starting price

Name-plus-domain email search with a verifier, API and MCP. Free tier, then $49/mo monthly or $34/mo on annual billing.

Where Hunter fits

  • Recruiters doing name-plus-domain lookup
  • Teams that need a finder API

Where they pull apart

eGrabber

Stands out: ProspectGrabber returns each contact with a verified email confidence badge, corporate phone, LinkedIn, company data, and an AI outreach recommendation. Signup includes 200 credits, no card required.

Watch out: Monthly ProspectGrabber credits are consumed per researched contact. Annual plans are billed upfront and do not offer mid-year cancellation. Classic LeadGrabber workflows still assume a Windows desktop and often a Sales Navigator seat.

Not the right fit for

  • Mac-first teams stuck on the older Windows-only LeadGrabber desktop apps
  • Companies that want an all-in-one sequencer rather than a list builder

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
