The short answer

  • ContactOut : Same LinkedIn-tab emails and dials, with MCP and API. From $49/mo
  • SignalHire : LinkedIn emails and dials plus bulk export. From $57/mo
  • Hunter : Name-plus-domain when you are not starting from LinkedIn. From $34/mo
  • Wiza : Sales Nav export with live verify if the input is a search. From $49/user/mo

Why people look past Lusha

It finds contacts but does not send, so a sequencer is still needed.

What we noted

  • Not a sequencer
  • Credit limits bite on heavy list work
  • Coverage varies by region

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that need a sequencer in the same login
  • Buyers who want a database interface rather than an extension

Worth keeping in mind: One-click emails and mobiles straight from the browser, plus a hosted MCP.

What each one does differently

ContactOut

$49/mo Free tier MCP API

Why it comes up: Same LinkedIn-tab emails and dials, with MCP and API.

Stands out: Chrome extension recruiters keep pinned, plus mobiles and a hosted MCP.

Watch out: Team and API plans are quoted by sales, and the self-serve prices are shown as discounts, so confirm the current rate with the vendor.

Best for

  • Recruiters working LinkedIn all day
  • Desks that need mobiles next to email
  • Teams that want MCP with an API token

SignalHire

$57/mo Free tier MCP API

Why it comes up: LinkedIn emails and dials plus bulk export.

Stands out: Chrome extension, bulk export and built-in email sequences, with both an MCP server and a REST API.

Watch out: It runs on credits, so budget for list volume. Sequences send from your own connected mailbox, so deliverability rests on that account, not on SignalHire.

Best for

  • Recruiters living in LinkedIn tabs
  • Desks that need mobiles next to email
  • Finding and emailing candidates from one login

Hunter

$34/mo Free tier Free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: Name-plus-domain when you are not starting from LinkedIn.

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.

Best for

  • Recruiters doing name-plus-domain lookup
  • Teams that need a finder API
  • Buyers who want a free tier plus MCP

Wiza

$49/user/mo Free tier Free trial API

Why it comes up: Sales Nav export with live verify if the input is a search.

Stands out: Pull a LinkedIn search, get emails and mobiles, verified as they come out.

Watch out: No MCP. Plans start at $49 per user, with $83, $99, $166 and $199 tiers.

Best for

  • Recruiters exporting Sales Nav searches
  • Desks that want verify at export time
  • Teams that want a Chrome extension
