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.
Listclean is best used when you have either scraped or exported a list of leads from a database and need to make sure the emails actually exist. You don't want to be using Listclean if you already have pre-verified contacts from another source like ListKit.
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.
I tried to verify my 4-5 email (which i have used and closed 10 years ago) on Listclean and Listclean provide the acurate status that those emails were dirty
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 SalesTools has already an inner feature to build prospects in a better way.
dont know about you, but other services are hard to use for me personally. Obviously cost of Listclean, it's a lot cheaper. And it's easily connectable to lead ads from facebook ads, google sheets and mailchimp.
