Where they pull apart

GetEmail

Stands out: Finder, verifier, LinkedIn prospect finder and API come on every plan, including the free one.

Watch out: Unused credits do not roll over. Each request spends a credit whether or not an email is found, except misses in the LinkedIn Chrome extension.

Not the right fit for

  • High-volume desks that need credit rollover
  • Buyers who want a sequencer in the same tool

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
