Hunter alternative: find the directors of a French company without knowing its domain

Hunter is an international platform that finds addresses from a domain, verifies emails and sends sequences. Veriphee does one thing, for French companies: start from the company name, identify its directors and deliver their verified addresses.

The short answer

Keep Hunter if you already know the company's domain or the person's name, if you prospect internationally, or if you want to send campaigns from the same tool. Look at Veriphee if you start from a list of French companies without knowing who runs them, and if you would rather pay per use than per month.

Sources: pricing pages of Hunter and Veriphee. Prices change: check them on the vendor's website. The units are not equivalent: a Hunter credit is one address found, a Veriphee credit is a whole company, however many directors are identified.

When Hunter remains the right choice

You know the domain and want to see the addresses published for it.
You are looking for one specific person whose name you have.
You prospect in several countries.
You want to find, verify and send from a single platform.
You need a permanent free plan for a few searches a month.

When Veriphee fits better

All you have is the company's name or number. See finding an email from a SIREN number.
You want to know who runs it: president, finance, sales, technology, HR.
The company's mail domain is not its website domain, or you do not know it.
You prospect in waves and do not want a monthly charge.

What Veriphee does not do

No search by domain alone, and no list of every address at a company.
No campaign or sequence sending.
No permanent free plan: 2 free searches when you sign up.
No foreign companies.

Wider comparison in the tools comparison. Hunter is a trademark of its owner; Veriphee has no connection with that vendor.
