Hunter vs. Lusha

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!

• 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.

• Identify prospect from Linkedin/Sales Navigator pages
• Show email ID and phone numbers of the prospect
• Reflect the correct/complete name of the prospect
• Suggest contacts from similar profiles
• Copy/edit option available for better user friendliness
• It shows relevant information of the prospect's company as well

• 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.

We purchased Lusha without exploring other options. As we grow, we might want to consider other solutions/services

Hunter is a pretty straightforward tool to use, like most of the tools on the market that execute the same sort of process. I would say it is not quite as user-friendly as some of the other tools on the market, which offer a plug and play process, but it is still fit for purpose.

It is actually pretty easy. If you already worked with Google Chrome's extensions, you're not going to have any problem. It's actually plug & play – you just need to setup your account, install the extension and start prospecting. Lusha gives you an assistant on the browser that easily allows you to crawl information of any LinkedIn profile you're visiting.

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.

We use Lusha alongside Apollo. Lusha was chosen as our supplementary data source, as it is super intuitive to use, meaning there was no little to no onboarding time which meant no lost productivity to the business. Stacking up against RocketReach, Lusha has much more data availability, and this is also the case for Apollo, whilst Apollo's database might be larger, it often misses contacts that Lusha has, and Lusha has more verified mobile numbers which is super important. In comparison to ZoomInfo is has a much lower price point.

• 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.
