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

Societeinfo

Stands out: Every plan, including free, includes API access. Credits cover company fiches, contact enrichment, and surveillance of French establishments (10 companies on free, 150 on Starter).

Watch out: No USD rate card. Unused subscription credits do not carry over. The file is France-centric (SIRENE-style company data), so it is the wrong tool for US prospecting.

Not the right fit for

  • US-only prospecting teams
  • Buyers who need unused credits to roll over each month

Pros and cons

Hunter

  • Public $49 monthly Starter, cheaper annually
  • Free browser extensions
  • MCP plus REST API
  • Work email rather than mobile numbers
  • No sequencer
  • Credit caps on the entry plan

Societeinfo

  • Free 25 credits/month with API included
  • Starter €32/mo billed annually for 3,600 credits
  • France-depth company data, not a thin worldwide contact file
  • No USD prices
  • Credits expire on subscription plans
  • US and global coverage is not the point
