Which one is for you
Pick Enrow if
- Fits if you mostly need emails at a low per-email price
- Works for people who want to pay only when a result is found
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you need phones: 40 credits each, so Start buys about 25 numbers
- Skip it if you want a free plan, since you get 50 sign-up credits and that's it
- Watch out: Start credits don't roll over, and unused credits expire if you cancel
- Watch out: a LinkedIn-URL search that finds nothing still costs 0.25 credits, and the annual prices weren't shown
Pick Hunter if
- Fits if your team needs work emails, not phone numbers
- Works for teams where lots of people need lookups, since team members are unlimited on every plan
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you cold call, as there are no phone number lookups
- Tight if you pay monthly, since unused credits reset each month and don't roll over
- Pricey if you send from lots of inboxes, with extra connected accounts from $10 a month each
- Tight if you're staying free, as 50 credits a month won't last a working week
- Watch out: API-only access is a separate product, the Data Platform, with its own bulk credits

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
