Where they pull apart

Heartbeat

Stands out: A healthcare-specific finder rather than a general B2B waterfall.

Watch out: No published price, and it is no use outside healthcare recruiting.

Not the right fit for

  • Technology recruiting
  • Anyone who needs a published price

RocketReach

Stands out: Search by person rather than by profile URL, with a hosted MCP.

Watch out: Credit-based rather than unlimited, and phones sit on the higher tiers.

Not the right fit for

  • Agencies that want unlimited flat-fee dials
  • Desks that only want a cheap browser extension
