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

Predictrasearch

Stands out: A real free-forever plan plus a documented API, with HR listed as a use case beside fraud and journalism.

Watch out: Prices are in euros. This is an investigation tool, not a B2B email-and-phone prospecting database.

Not the right fit for

SDR teams buying emails and mobiles for outreach
Buyers who need a US-dollar rate card
