Proofy from the company of the same name (Proofy.io) headquartered in Hong Kong is a pay-for-check email verification service.
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 is perhaps less appropriate if the business does not already receive a lot of bounce backs and there is a high interaction rate with emails being sent out by the business. It is particularly useful for businesses that want to improve the security of their business by eliminating or at least reducing the number of spam emails that clog their mailing list.
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.
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.
The server of the Lusha Extension was very low that's why leave the software and the results of proofy was just amazing overall. We love the adeptness to send a bulk email list, as well as integrate the platform with API. overall features are very effective and very easy to use.
Previously we had tremendous problems when entering a virus that came in an email that cost us 30,000 USD in losses; with this software, we will no longer be able to say in the future that we will go through the same problem when opening an email.
Agility increased by confidence when opening attachments.
An improvement in time speed saved us 30 min each day in sending the archives by mail.
