Hunter.io is an email finder and verification tool that helps you discover and validate email addresses. Dealmayker is a sales intelligence engine that tells you who fits your ICP, why they'll care about your solution, and when to reach out. Hunter answers 'what's their email,' Dealmayker answers 'should I email them and what should I say.'
Yes! This is the perfect workflow. Use Dealmayker to discover and qualify leads with high ICP fit scores and buying signals, then use Hunter to find email addresses only for those qualified leads. This ensures you're not wasting Hunter credits on people who don't fit your ICP, typically saving 60-70% on email finder costs.
No, we focus on sales intelligence - finding the right people, qualifying them, understanding their pain points, and monitoring intent signals. For email finding, use Hunter, Lusha, Apollo, or any email finder. The key is to qualify with Dealmayker first, then only find emails for leads worth contacting.
Hunter's extension finds and verifies email addresses. Dealmayker's extension analyzes profiles to show ICP fit score, buying signals, pain points, conversation starters, and personalized outreach angles in under 10 seconds. Use both together: Dealmayker to qualify, Hunter to get the email address for qualified leads.
Email finder tools charge per search or have monthly limits. If you search 100 leads and 70 don't fit your ICP, you've wasted 70 credits or searches. Dealmayker qualifies leads first, showing you which ones are actually worth finding emails for. This saves money on email finder costs and improves your outreach quality.
Yes! After finding emails with Hunter, you might have 100 valid addresses but no idea who to email first. Dealmayker provides ICP fit scores (0-100%) and buying signal analysis, so you can prioritize leads most likely to respond. Email high-fit leads with active buying signals first for best results.
No, we focus on lead intelligence rather than email verification. Use Hunter for finding and verifying email addresses, and use Dealmayker for understanding who's worth emailing and what to say. Many teams find this combination more effective than using Hunter alone.
Hunter is free for 50 searches/month, then $49-399/month for more searches. Dealmayker starts at $29/month for unlimited ICP matching and qualification. Most teams use both - Dealmayker to qualify leads and save Hunter credits, Hunter to get emails for qualified leads only. Together they're more cost-effective than using Hunter at scale without qualification.
