Hunter
The scenario we most commonly use Hunter for is to quickly find and retrieve contact email information. Phone numbers are an added bonus, but they tend to only be available for contacts in the US. SDRs have the extension in order to confirm or to help them "guess" as to what a contact's email address might be. This speeds up our prospecting time considerably. Where Hunter falls short is not being flexible where companies have more than one email format.

WhoisXML API
We use WhoisXML Email Verification API for the additional value it provides to our corporate email security, and we recommend that most organizations do the same. Disposable email services may help protect the privacy of their users, but in the corporate setting, receiving emails from these domains may not be safe. So, aside from flagging emails from domains categorized as spam, we wanted our spam filtering system to be stricter and include disposable email addresses.

Pros
Hunter
  • Hunter provides a quick and easy way to look up the email format for any company using the free Google Chrome extension.
  • Hunter allows you to upload a bulk list of emails and verify them easily.
  • Hunter shows where verified emails were found on web pages and PDF documents. This shows that the emails were published by trusted sources.

WhoisXML API
  • WhoisXML Email Verification API obtains its disposable email detection capabilities from a disposable email domain database that monitors most disposable email providers regularly.
  • WhoisXML Email Verification API is compatible with most spam filtering solutions and other email security systems. It is also available as a Splunk application, so compatibility wasn’t an issue for us.

Cons
Hunter
  • Hunter is only as valuable as the information it is able to scrape from the internet. If a company has not listed any email addresses online, then Hunter is not going to be able to find it.
  • Sometimes Hunter is only able to identify non-personal-specific email addresses (ex: info @, support@, etc.). This makes it difficult to identify personnel emails
  • Sometimes companies will have different email domains that Hunter is not able to correlate. For example, when searching for an email address at Lead.com, Hunter is not able to point to ParentCompany.com email addresses that would be more useful.

WhoisXML API
  • We had to avail ourselves of the custom plan because we have a pretty large user base, and each user receives hundreds of emails per day. We were able to come up with a reasonable agreement, in any case.

Usability
Hunter
I think the features are good, but it makes my brain hurt (and feel overtaxed) when I have to jump between searching by name and domain and then searching via a specific email to verify. I wish I could do all of that from one landing page, one über search bar.

Hunter is a good all in one solution, which hasnt always been the case as it used to be a daa only solution. However, other tools like lemlist as slightly more user friendly and make it so simple to build and launch multi-channel campaigns , and do this slightly better than Hunter.
