The short answer

Apollo : Apollo is a global contact database from $49/user/mo, weak on French SIRENE depth. From $49/mo
Hunter : Hunter finds emails worldwide, without French company surveillance. From $49/mo
Cognism : Cognism is a GDPR-first global data vendor on a quote, broader than France. From Sales-quoted
Dropcontact : Dropcontact is a GDPR email finder from €79/mo, not a full French company file. From €79/mo

Why people look past Societeinfo

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.

What we noted

No USD prices
Credits expire on subscription plans
US and global coverage is not the point

Not the right fit for

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

Worth keeping in mind: 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).

What each one does differently

Apollo

$49/mo Free tier Free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: Apollo is a global contact database from $49/user/mo, weak on French SIRENE depth.

Stands out: A large people database plus email sequences in one login, with MCP and a Chrome extension.

Watch out: Data quality varies by segment, and it does not match enterprise tools for intent data and org charts.

Best for

Outbound recruiting and sales on one database
Teams that want free-tier access to start
Desks that need sequences next to the data

Hunter

$49/mo Free tier Free trial MCP API

Why it comes up: Hunter finds emails worldwide, without French company surveillance.

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

Cognism

Sales-quoted API

Why it comes up: Cognism is a GDPR-first global data vendor on a quote, broader than France.

Stands out: Phone-verified mobile numbers, on-demand verification and Bombora intent data on the Pro package.

Watch out: No published price. CRM enrichment and API or bulk delivery are separate add-ons, and API access needs a prospecting seat.

Best for

EMEA sales teams that need mobiles
Enterprises replacing a ZoomInfo-class contract
Teams that want intent data with contacts

Dropcontact

€79/mo MCP API

Why it comes up: Dropcontact is a GDPR email finder from €79/mo, not a full French company file.

Stands out: Pay-on-success EU enrichment with HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, API, and MCP, built for CNIL-shaped buying, not a US credit dump.

Watch out: €79 is not $49. Fifty free credits are not a 14-day trial. You pay for found emails, then the monthly quota renews.

Best for

EU teams that need GDPR-first enrichment
HubSpot, Salesforce, or Pipedrive shops
Ops that want MCP/API into enrichment
