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

Nymeria

Stands out: Failed lookups skip the credit charge, and paid plans include unlimited team members plus a public REST API.

Watch out: Kilo jumps to $159/mo, and above 1,000 matches a month you move to a committed-volume rate. Unused credits never roll on monthly or annual plans.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that need more than 1,000 matches a month on a self-serve plan
  • Buyers who need unused credits to roll each month
