Pick Hunter.io when
- →Solo founders or small teams that need occasional email lookups rather than systematic prospecting (under 200 lookups/month).
- →Recruiters or freelancers who want a fast, focused email-finder Chrome extension without a full database subscription.
- →Buyers who appreciate Hunter's free tier (25 searches/month) for very low-volume use.
- →Operators who run domain-based lookups (find all emails at a company) more than role-based prospecting.
Pick Lusha when
- →SDR teams whose outbound mix includes cold calling — mobile-number accuracy is where Lusha differentiates.
- →Recruiters or talent-acquisition teams who need contact phone numbers more than email.
- →Buyers who want a Chrome extension that surfaces contact info on LinkedIn without a full database subscription.
- →Operators targeting verticals (manufacturing, healthcare, finance) where phone is still the dominant outreach channel.
- →Entry pricing matters — $36 vs $49
