Which one is for you
Pick GrowMeOrganic if
- Fits if you want LinkedIn export, email finding and sending under one login
- Works for small agencies that need several LinkedIn accounts on a plan
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay on Starter, which caps exports and enrichments at 2,000 a month and allows 1 user and 2 senders
- Skip it if you want a free plan, as only a 14-day trial of about 200 credits is listed
- Pricey if you are a team, as unlimited credits and 5 users start at $99 a month
- Watch out: Starter allows 200 LinkedIn visits, so heavy scraping stalls early
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 we grade them
| 2.4GPAGrowMeOrganicFair | 2.8GPAHunterGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C$49 a month for Starter equals the $49 middle of the category. Growth at $99 and Pro at $199 are the dearer end. | AStarter is $34 a month billed yearly for the whole team, about $6.80 a head for five, under 60% of this category's cheaper quarter ($34). That buys 2,000 credits a month, shared: an email found costs 1, a check 0.5. |
| Free plan and trial | CA 14-day trial with about 200 credits and no card, and no free plan. | CA free plan with 50 credits a month that reset, basic filters, 1 email account and unlimited team members. Fine for a taste, but 50 lookups won't last a working week. |
| Features | BLinkedIn export, a B2B database, email finding and verification, a Maps scraper and cold email sequences. The core job is covered. | CDomain search, an email finder and verifier, a lead database, cold email sequences, an API and an MCP server. It does the email job fully, but that's a smaller job: the pricing page lists no phone lookups. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. You connect LinkedIn and email accounts before it works. | BNo App Store rating on record, and there's nothing to set up: type a company domain and the addresses come up, or click the extension on the site you're on. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb app and extension, with four listed integrations and an API. No desktop or phone app. | BWeb, Chrome and Firefox extensions and a Google Sheets add-on, with HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho CRM, Zapier and Clay, plus an API. No desktop or phone apps. |
| Best for | LinkedIn lead export and cold email together | work emails for a whole team on one bill |

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.
