When Dealmayker is a Better Alternative to Hunter.io
You're wasting email finder credits on unqualified leads
When you're spending credits to find emails for prospects who don't actually fit your ICP, you're burning money and cluttering your outreach lists. Dealmayker qualifies leads first so you only use Hunter (or any email finder) for high-fit prospects, typically saving 60-70% on email finder costs.
You need context about who to prioritize, not just contact info
If you have 100 valid email addresses but no way to know who's most likely to respond, you're guessing at prioritization. Dealmayker provides ICP fit scores and buying signals so you email the right people first, with personalized context about why you're reaching out—not just their email address.
Having an email doesn't mean it's the right time to send
When timing matters as much as having the correct email address, intent signals tell you when prospects are actually ready to engage. Dealmayker monitors hiring, funding, and pain signals so you reach out at the moment they're most receptive, dramatically improving reply rates beyond just email deliverability.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.'
Can I use Dealmayker with Hunter.io?
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.
Does Dealmayker find email addresses like Hunter?
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.
How does Dealmayker's Chrome extension compare to Hunter's?

Why should I qualify leads before finding their emails?
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.
