Where they pull apart

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

LeadFuze

Stands out: The dataset is a bulk professional file: hundreds of millions of profiles, personal and business emails, 150 million-plus mobiles, and a visitor-ID pixel, refreshed monthly. API access is on every plan.

Watch out: There is no free plan. Starter caps exports at 25,000 a month and 5 users.

Not the right fit for

  • Solo users who want a plan under $250 a month
  • Teams that need a free plan
