Hunter is all in one solution. These are not really.

LinkedIn Sales Navigator gives no way to contact leads once you've found them. ZoomInfo is powerful for information but not designed to reach out to leads efficiently.
Chose Hunter
A great place for reaching information of potential customers. Also, the support team immediately responds to your inquiries, and all team members are so kind. Couldn't have asked for more
Chose Hunter
Hunter is better and easier to use.
Chose Hunter
I have evaluated Lusha, RocketReach, Mail Tester, etc. but I found Hunter more appropriate because it was the tool that completes my need as I don't require the contact numbers of the particular person. But if I required the contact information of the person then Hunter must …
Chose Hunter
Hunter is a simple tool that does two things very well. (Identifies the proper email format at target prospect websites & verifies and confirms a leads email address.) It has great data and is helpful for any seller regardless of company and target size. It does not provide …

I have used AnyMail Finder in the past. Hunter is more user-friendly and I stopped using AnyMail immediately.
Chose Hunter
Zoom is currently our go to platform for finding contact information and email addresses. It is much more expansive than Hunter but it's also much more expensive. The data is some of the best quality in the industry and included direct dial and mobile numbers. If you have the …

Seamless is great, it is a bit more robust as it also includes phone numbers (personal line, office extensions, company line) Also, has CRM integration like Salesforce.
Chose Hunter
Hunter allows us to input new leads into our primary CRM for qualified leads and keep a steady stream of prospecting.

Hunter is a much more user-friendly version of Clearbit. I personally also find it to be more accurate than Clearbit. With Clearbit it felt like too many clicks to get to the information that you wanted. With Hunter, it is a simple copy - paste - click, to get the information …
Chose Hunter
Hunter is easier to use but it would appear from the limited use of ZoomInfo that their product is more robust. However, it is a paid service so I don't feel it is an apples-to-apples comparison.
Chose Hunter
Hunter.io is a much cheaper alternative to Data.com, and provides just as accurate data. Data.com does offer more contacts per company as it tries to map out org charts at a company, but you'll often see many of the same contacts at Hunter.io as you would on Data.com. I …
Chose Hunter
We have been trying to get lead information on SalesTools and PLENTY, however, these two tools are mostly oriented to create follow-up campaigns and the setup is pretty complicated. If you are looking to create just a list of semi-qualified leads, you may try Hunter, but …
Chose Hunter
SellHack is a superior product. If I were to do an email search of 50 or 100 names, SellHack would win hands down. Hunter would do well, and for that I'm grateful, but it's just not as strong.
Chose Hunter
I use Hunter in combination with some of the above-mentioned tools. Hunter is faster than any other tool, especially when dealing with large lists. I have also found that Hunter's bounce rate is lower than any other of the dozen tools I've tested.
Chose Hunter
While LinkedIn Sales Navigator has a larger and greater amount of data available (including mutual connections, etc.), it is hard to overlook the value that Hunter provides in explicitly and simply sharing a contact's information. Added to the fact that Hunter has a Chrome …

Chose Kickbox
I like Kickbox output files better as it includes the "domain". Overall, both softwares could do a better job cleaning lists. Kickbox shows more "unknown" emails where are BriteVerify shows less "unknown emails" but then more bad emails end up in the valid list. Kickbox has a …

Hunter.io is very well suited for any sales rep who is building out lists of contacts for email outreach, or for marketer's looking to reach out to PR and marketing contacts for link building campaigns. The tool is a great free option if you are doing targeted, 1:1 personalized outreach and you need a few contacts. The tool can be expensive if you are needing to reach thousands of people. A paid version of Hunter.io is not a great fit if you already pay for another list building source such as Data.com or Discover.Org.

I haven't used many other email validation products before, only a couple of 'free' cloud-based options with limited list size capability. Kickbox is super professional, easy to use, and works.

Pros
  • Provides email domains very well. While some companies have a different domain for their "info@xyz.com", Hunter is able to find the domain that is being used by individuals at the company.
  • For American contacts in particular it is very good at finding personal phone numbers.
  • Helps to enrich the contacts that might be in a company by providing a confirmed list of employees.
  • As an extra - I really like how easy it is to use. You can input the contacts name and copy-paste from the chrome extension quickly and easily. This saves a load of time when you are trying to find the right address.

Cons
  • There have been times when I've search Hunter for an address on a website and it came back with no results. Then If I search the site I've often found an email address or two. So I'm curious why it wasn't able to find it with the tool, even when I could on my own?
  • I'm not sure what the reasons were exactly why LinkedIn ordered the cease and desist, but I had hoped they two companies could come to terms or that at the least LinkedIn would acquire Hunter. But alas, it's not been the case.

  • Catching spam traps
  • Too many emails in "unknown" category when cleaning B2B emails
  • More accurate cleaning overall

With Clearbit it felt like too many clicks to get to the information that you wanted. With Hunter, it is a simple copy - paste - click, to get the information you need. The additional list of contacts it provides and the verification source is also more readable.

Return on Investment
  • Hunter has vastly improved my efficiency as a seller. It saves a lot of time for a lot of different reasons.
  • The ability to confirm target email addresses saves valuable time having to re-send the same email to one person with multiple different attempts.
  • Hunter has a pretty generous free trial ability, which is worthwhile in order to try before you buy.
