Hunter vs. RocketReach

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.

RocketReach is very helpfull in cases where I only have the website or LinkedIn Page of the company I want to reach out to, but no contact information. RocketReach helps do some digging and get in touch with the target business. It does not provide any financial insight on the entity, a lot of companies do not have info of important C-Suit, but just general employees.

• 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.

• Helps to enrich data where other platforms may not have the required data
• Good resource for lead validation
• Easy to use and straightforward UI

• 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.

Incentivized

• Search criteria having to be manually deleted
• Finding the right contact
• In my opinion, Outdated contact information

The extension is perfect for finding the info about the company whose website I have open in my laptop, but in some cases it is hard to get rid of the icon. It is located specifically in a place where the majority of websites put action button. So, I can't press this button sometimes because of the RR icon on top.

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.

RocketReach works well on its own, but also as part of a suite of tools that we use for lead validation, qualification, and research efforts. We've selected RocketReach due to it's ability to provide key information in our data enrichment process that some other platforms are not able to provide.

• Positive to be sure. I don't always get the results I want, but I use the free version and I'm satisfied to go there first when I need an email
• It's a fast quality product. It was better before when it resided on my LinkedIn account, but that's another matter...

Incentivized

• Increase the amount of contacts we upload daily to our CRM
• Lead us to send out 2x the amount of emails each day
• Uncover new prospects
