Incentivized Helpful? FM Fraser Murphy Sales Team Leader Chose Hunter Hunter is a much more user-friendly version of Clearbit. I personally also find it to be more accurate than Clearbit.

Verified User Anonymous Chose Hunter None Incentivized Helpful? Daniel Cameron Account Executive 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. Incentivized Helpful? Zach Ettelman Account-Based Marketing Specialist 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Rodrigo Rojas Founder & CEO 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.

User Testimonials
	Hunter	ZeroBounce
Likelihood to Recommend	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. Incentivized Zach Ettelman Account-Based Marketing Specialist Read full review	ZeroBounce should be used to verify all emails prior to sending ANY campaign. I can't think of any scenario where it should NOT be used. All campaigns that include massive emails really need to be verified for correct email addresses or will chance being suspended by your email Service provider. Incentivized Gene Massey CEO Read full review
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. Incentivized FM Fraser Murphy Sales Team Leader Read full review	ZeroBounce provides us with not only valid emails but also separates the catch all addresses Their security is probably the best in the world Their support is exceptionally responsive They are more economical than our previous provider Incentivized Gene Massey CEO Read full review
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. Incentivized ★ Kevin Thomas ★ Small Business Consultant - Financial Services Read full review	It should tie up with database vendors like ZoomInfo and Apollo There still lie a majority of "catch-all" emails which need to be reduced to either valid or invalid emails Pricing could be improved for SMBs trying to scale up Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	I gave it this rating because I think that there's always room for improvement all the time But I think overall ZeroBounce is amazing. So I give it a 9 out of 10 I think I think that would make it a 10 out of 10 Is maybe if the cost is a little bit better or maybe if I understood a little bit more of the value But I think other than that I think it's good. Yeah happy. Incentivized Nico Lundquist Founder Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	We have used ZeroBounce for about 18 months and it works flawlessly. We are able to get all of our questions/issues answered immediately. Felt very comfortable with the product immediately - used their web site which walked us through it and were able to get up and running within minutes. I really haven't had any issues that required support. Incentivized Valie Robbins Owner Read full review
Alternatives Considered	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. Incentivized FM Fraser Murphy Sales Team Leader Read full review	We considered AtData since it was recommended by a colleague who has used it in the past.

Email validation tools are probably very similar, but ZeroBounce seemed the simplest for us, and we needed to implement one fast, so activation time was very quick.

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.
