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.
It's definitely a cheap and easy to use provider to validate emails and mailling lists. A must use if you work with email marketing or even if you simply want to use your old emailing lists to confirm if you can still use it. Anyone can use and it requires no special skills or knowledge.
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.
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.
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
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 have used MillionVerifier to verify my emails in the past. Compared to Listclean it is much slower. It took nearly thirty minutes to verify a relatively small list of leads. Listclean also has a much faster signup process and is better at verifying catch all emails
