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
