Honest take

When Hunter.io is genuinely the better choice

Hunter is genuinely good at what it does — finding and verifying an email for a specific person at a specific company, shared across your whole team's credit pool with no per-seat fee. If your workflow is "I have a name, find the email," Hunter fits that better than we do. We're built for the opposite direction: "I want every business of a certain type in a certain place," delivered as one file.

/ 04 — QuestionsFrequently asked

Can I search for one specific person's email on PublicLeads?+

No — we sell pre-built lists of businesses by industry and location, not person-by-person email lookup. Hunter is built for that specific job.

How does PublicLeads find business emails?+

Emails are gathered as part of each business's public listing data and SMTP-verified before delivery — not searched or guessed per-domain the way Hunter's finder works.

Does PublicLeads have a shared team credit pool?+

There's no credit system at all — you buy a list once and it's yours. No per-seat fees, no shared pool to manage.

What if I need to bulk-verify emails I already have?+

That's not something we offer as a standalone tool — Hunter's bulk verifier is built for exactly that. We verify the emails inside the lists we sell you.
