Considered Both Products
Hunter
Chose Hunter
Hunter is all in one solution. These are not really.
Chose Hunter
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 …
Chose Hunter
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 …
Chose Hunter
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.
Chose Hunter
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 …
Lusha
Chose Lusha
Lusha had the best data for international markets, which was a major challenge for us. The others were not able to provide us with data that was nearly as accurate overseas. Zoominfo performed the best domestically but also at a much higher price point, While Seamless and …
Chose Lusha
Lusha is leading in all avenues beside the data provided, in our experience, the data is not the most accurate. This needs to be corrected with being able to provide payment options to small and start up business operations.
Chose Lusha
ZoomInfo appears to have a slightly larger dataset, offering more contacts and deeper intel on companies. It's great for enterprise-level prospecting with complex needs. However, the price tag was significantly larger, and the interface felt clunky compared to Lusha. Lusha is …
Chose Lusha
Lusha it is very similar product in terms of provides mainly correct data in terms of phone numbers being mobiles of directors and co founders as well as email address to contact. Cognism does the exact same as a product, with Lusha giving more accurate sometimes over Cognism …
Chose Lusha
I can always count on Lusha to provide the most up to date contact information. Other platforms will have more data at times but it will be data on folks that no longer work there. The contacts I add into my call cadences sourced from Lusha are more likely to be active …
Chose Lusha
Lusha was simply easier to use, with better contact data as per the anecdotal evidence from my sales reps. It also had a simple interface that did not require much implementation, and a pop-up on where we source our leads, which is linkedin. This led to hassle-free usage and …
Chose Lusha
Lusha is the best for getting mobile numbers, which is the main reason for getting a tool like this in the first place.

I referred Lusha to a sales manager in another company who has a good experience as well.
Chose Lusha
get better data than cognism from what i found and slightl more accurate data and easier to use platform
Chose Lusha
Lusha is a lot quicker and more accurate than cognism is when returning results regarding prospects and targets. It also costs significantly less than cognism. Cognism does, however, integrate with HubSpot which makes it easier during prospecting sessions to get information …
Chose Lusha
Lusha as a platform could have more features, but the quality of what it has is good enough
Chose Lusha
Lusha is much more visually appealing and I love the pop up. Very good for finding "hidden gems" in the form of phone numbers of difficult to reach contacts
Chose Lusha
We previously used infotelligent, which was similar, but seemingly more expensive for nearly the same result. There was a learning curve with migrating over to Lusha, but overall we seem to be doing well as a team.
Chose Lusha
We selected Lusha, but we also used Apollo. Reasons aforementioned in this review.
Chose Lusha
Zoominfo is better, we switched as it was told to us that we'd have more good numbers. Lusha does have a few more good numbers, I believe, but many, many more bad numbers for people in the U.S.
Chose Lusha
Lusha has better data that is more robust that Zoominfo/fills in gaps
Chose Lusha
Using Lusha parallely with Apollo and Mr.E. All of them are good at different features and stand out for their uniqueness. Lusha stands as the best in data accuracy for work emails.

The ease of use is another plus point for Lusha over the other tools in my opinion.
Chose Lusha
These products are very similar. Zoominfo feels more premium as a service but the size of available contacts and the accuracy of the data doesn't appear to be different between the two platforms. We selected Lusha primarily because of price and because Lusha allowed for a …
Chose Lusha
We use ZoomInfo for NA contacts but we found they weren't great for EMEA. Cognism seemed like an OK solution but Lusha looked to provide higher quality contact info.
Chose Lusha
Its cost, chrome extension, ease of use setup and its unique features were all key reasons we chose Lusha over its competitors. Additionally, we loved its accurate data and setup of licenses. I was very happy with Lusha last year and with its new features, I continue to be …
Chose Lusha
Transparent pricing, easy do adopt, same data quality. For phone numbers, Lusha has had much better accuracy, but a little less on volume of emails contacts.

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 leverage Lusha daily to powerfully qualify and enrich my leads in multiple ways: from supercharging data extracted from CSV files to seamlessly populating phone numbers and email addresses directly from LinkedIn.However, the HubSpot CRM integration truly needs simplification. While I frequently use the standard sequences, I strongly believe they could be dramatically improved by combining email, InMail, and even audio messages. And finally, the conversations module, currently in beta, shows immense promise!

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.

  • It would be nice to have a general idea of how many contacts it has information for on a particular account at the very start before scrolling through the different pages.
  • It would be great to also have the titles of individuals on the list, so it's quicker to sift who to keep in or exclude prior to revealing details.
  • No product is perfect! Some of the information generated can be inaccurate or generic, e.g., a phone number for a persona may not be direct for that individual but could be a general customer service number for the company and could be the same number listed for multiple prospects.

Platform setup is very easy and friendly. Lusha is not complicated as other competitors like Zoom and Discover org etc.; easy to use and discover candidates for our roles. All of our recruiters find this platform very user-friendly, and they are very happy using this service. Admin support from Lusha is always available, and they are ready to help and educate our team.

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 you need. The additional list of contacts it provides and the verification source is also more readable.

I used a lot of tools, but Lusha is the most accurate and precise data. Other may have a better user experience inside the platform, but it doesn't really matter if the data generated doesn't convert into sales. Lusha also provides phone numbers, which is fantastic, and most of the tools delivers only emails adresses.

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.

  • More time Selling, Less Time Searching: B2B selling today is all about how fast you can reach your prospects. Searching for contact information was daunting and painful a few years back. With 1-click imports, integrations and hunts: tools like Lusha are a massive benefit in terms of saving time in the ever laborious task of List Building.
  • Better Phone Numbers: Especially in regions like EU and APAC, where mobile numbers are not available with tools like ZoomInfo and Apollo, Lusha comes as a saviour.
