  • Buyers who want month-to-month search rather than a job-board contract

Hunter

$34/mo Free tier Free trial

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

Where they pull apart

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

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
